Not daily
I decided not to participate in NaBloPoMo this year. Last year was a pain because I couldn’t figure out what to post and I had skipped the sixth day (slightly). The problem is that I am going through a lot of personal adjustments that are reshaping my daily activities and time. Thus, this is the reason my last post was more than a week ago.
What’s the big deal about posting daily? Does it mean that entries will be watered down for the sake of forming 30 entries every 24 hours? Actually, there are some great blogs out there that do a great job at that. I’m not knocking anyone who is participating in NaBloPoMo, but it’s not for me.

One Hundred & Ninety Three
It’s time for Friday’s Fest:
Appetizer
Do you consider yourself to be an optimist or a pessimist?
I’m less pessimistic than I used to be, but I’m not a full optimist either.
Soup
What is your favorite color of ink to write with?
Purple, but it makes me feel like a third-grader when I use purple ink at work.
Salad
How often do you get a manicure or pedicure? Do you do them yourself or go to a salon and pay for them?
Once a month and I do it myself.
Main Course
Have you ever won anything online? If so, what was it?
I won six months of DirecTV in 2001 from a fantasy basketball tournament with Sports Illustrated and CNN. However, I didn’t own a house then, so I couldn’t claim the prize.
Dessert
In which room in your house do you keep your home computer?
In my home office, the second smallest room in the house.

One hundred ninety-two
I’ve decided to jump on the bandwagon, or whatever it is at the moment, and I’m participating in Friday’s Feast, so here is the menu for #192:
Appetizer
When you drink soda/pop/coke, do you prefer to drink it from the bottle, a can, or after pouring it into a cup?
I prefer a glass bottle if it’s one of those fancy Italian sodas. Otherwise, I would rather have a cup.
Soup
What television show are you willing to stay up late to watch?
The Daily Show and sometimes General Hospital on SoapNet.
Salad
Name one person, place, or thing you think of as brilliant.
Ralph Ellison’s “Invisible Man”
Main Course
Would you be willing to work 4 10-hour days instead of 5 8-hour days in order to save gas?
No because I would be using more electricity if I work 10-hour days at work and have three off days. Also, my commute is about three miles, so I would travel six miles on my workdays but about 15 miles on my off-days. So, working four days would actually cost me more in gasoline and energy.
Dessert
If you were a superhero, what would you call yourself?
Phobia Girl — she runs away from danger and let others fight to save her!
