November 11, 2008
Today was cable day (Helloooo, HBO On Demand!)
And the day the guys are supposed to pick up the old entertainment center. (Not holding my breath, though--it's raining. But you never know.)
And trash night, in a week where I�ve got 7 bags to go to the curb.
So this is a very short post.
To make up for it, have some candy! (meme)
ABSOLUTE, HANDS-DOWN RAVE FAVE
Ethel M�s Earl Grey Tea Chocolate Truffles
FAVORITE CANDY BAR:
Hershey�s Almond Bar if I�m stuck with U.S. offerings. If UK/Canada are on the table, Mars Bar or Aero.
THE ORDER IN WHICH YOU WOULD EAT THE VARIOUS SELECTIONS IN A BAG OF HERSHEY�S MINIATURES
Hershey Bar, Krackel, Mr. Goodbar. Special Dark is blurgh! Give that crap away!
FAVORITE NON-CHOCOLATE CANDY
Gummi Bears from Albanese�s in Valparaiso, IN
FAVORITE LIFESAVER FLAVOR
Blackberry (which is more readily available than it used to be), unless I�m missing my Gramma. Then it�s Butter Rum.
FAVORITE �RETRO� CANDY�
Wax Lips and Nik-L-Nips. I love to chew wax�sick, right?
DO YOU HAVE A CANDY COMPULSION?
Yes. I sort my M&Ms into piles containing 1 each of the six colors, then five colors, four colors, etc. as I run out of the various hues.
YES OR NO ON THE WHOLE �SOUR� THING?
Depends. We talking about the traditional, kinda sour candy I grew up with, like Sprees of SweeTarts or Sour Balls or Regal Crown Cherry Sours?, because that would be YES. If we�re talking the modern Sour Patch, Warhead crap, you can keep it.
IS THERE ANY CANDY YOU WOULD JUST DO AWAY WITH?
Oh, sure. Mary Janes, Bit O�Honey, BB Bats, the afore-mentioned Special Dark, Candy Corn (!), Necco Wafers�should I go on?
IS GUM CANDY?
Nope. Gum is gum. Hence the expression �candy and gum.
Reading: Jasper Fforde's "The Fourth Bear". Jack Spratt and the NCD (Nursery Crimes Division).
Surfing: Haven't really gone anywhere unfamiliar lately. I barely have time to visit my regular sites.
Listening: �Light From Heaven� unabridged CD audiobook. By Jan Karon, Narrated by John McDonough (Book 9, The Mitford Series)
