I've been neglectful in mentioning that Kate Gabrielle has awarded me the Friendly Blogger Award. I am surprised and pleased! Check out Kate's many blogs (and etsy shops) for some of the coolest artwork on the web! This award is supposed to be passed on in turn, but as most of the people I would choose to pass this along to have already received this, I'll just say thanks to Kate again.Now, while we're on memes, I've also been tagged for the Crazy Eights meme by Ginger at Asleep in New York. It has a few extra "Eights" she threw in because weirdly, there weren't eight categories and there should be.

That's funny, I didn't even realize the lack of 8 categories in the "crazy 8" tag! I wish you had started it, so we could all answer the movies part-- it seems like that one would have been perfect in the classic film blogging circle :)
I hope your stray shows up soon!
Aw, you did do the special edition one! :)
Now you're a Sneetch with a star upon thar. ;)

I noticed CITY OF CONQUEST in your sidebar while ago, and then of course read it here in your tag, where you said you were gonna finish it...let me know how you liked it! :)
I watched the first half hour of it one night, and loved it, but then I had to stop it for some reason, and while trying to go back to it, I accidentally deleted it from my dvr. :(
I think it's in my Netflix queue...
Anyway, I don't think I've ever seen you mention Cagney around here, and I've wondered if you're much of a fan. :)
...
I wish I never had to eat again, either. :)
