cogito, ergo sum

In the words of Dr. Rodney McKay...

AGGHHHH... I hate Vox's "personalized" colour schemes... Good lord...

What was the best thing about your weekend?

I slept until 2PM on Saturday... Seriously, early mornings, long work hours, and overnight call, makes a person real appreciative of days where you can just sleep until you can't sleep anymore... ;)

What movies do you have memorized? Bonus points for sharing your favorite quote.
Submitted by Andymatic.

I used to be able to recite the dialogue of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, probably from start to finish although I never actually tried.  It's been a few years, but I'm pretty sure a lot of it has still stuck.  I probably have parts of Pirates of the Caribbean I memorized too...

Favourite quote, as the Fellowship approaches Lothlorien:
Gimli: "Well, here is one dwarf she won't ensnare so easily.  I have the eyes of hawk and the ears of a fox."
Haldir: "The dwarf breathes so loud, we could have shot him in the dark."

What question do you hate being asked?

Some form of "How old are you?"

...invariably, my answer ends up being something along the lines of, "No, I am not 12..."

LOL had to consult the Gateworld Omnipedia for U and Y, but the great thing about Scifi is that it's never short on weird names ;)

So I've entered myself in a contest.  I entered the last one, actually, and lost by 60,000 trivia points (which is about 30 minutes of clicking).  LOL I'm a little bitter because I could have spent 30 minutes earlier in the week instead of my futile study efforts, but regardless, I try again.

I made a quiz over at BuddyTV about Hollywood myths that the Mythbusters have covered.  You don't need to have seen the show to make a guess at whether these things can happen in real life or not ;)  Example of a question is, "You can walk underwater using a rowboat to hold a pocket of air?"  

It's just silly random fun trivia.  So if you have time to spare for 10 quick questions, please take the quiz :)  And if you could, please pimp it to others to try it out too, because the ultimate goal of the contest is to get as many people as possible to take the quiz between now and Thursday, May 8 at 12noon ET.

Please and thanks! :)

Mythbusters - Hollywood Myths Trivia

What is your definition of cheating?

Getting points for something that is not your own, be it an answer, a paragraph, an essay, etc.

What do you do EVERY day to take care of the earth's environment? What could you do more of?

I recycle. I will hang onto my recyclable trash and take them home with me if there aren't bins around for me to toss them in.  As for what I could do more of, it's more what I want to do more of but can't... I wish there was compost collection here like back home.  It would reduce what I put in my trash by a huge amount.

What would you like to do more of?

Sleep.

How are you celebrating St. Patrick's Day?

No plans to celebrate... St. Patrick's Day has never been a day that I associate with partying.  It wasn't all that big at my previous university.  LOL at the current one however, apparently it's huge.  People painted green running down the street kind of huge.  Hehee, it was an interesting drive home...
