I need food for thought. So here it is:

1. Voice :: Song
2. Us :: Them
3. Passionately :: Kiss
4. Humbly :: Beg
5. Love songs :: 80’s Music (why oh why?)
6. Dim :: the lights!
7. Calendar :: Islands (no idea)
8. Careless :: Hands
9. Block :: Head
10. Goal :: Hockey

Totally weird. I popped off the very first coherent thing that came to mind for each of these, and I does not understand them. Oh well. Get your own at: Unconscious Mutterings.

Another meme, from 3x Thursday:
1. Do you look forward to getting new toys (appliances, gadgets, etc)? Why/why not? God yes. I’m like a big kid at heart when it comes to toys. And when I say toys, I don’t just mean appliances, gadgets, electronics, etc, though those certainly count in my book, but I also like /toys/ toys. Like, My Little Ponies, and dolls, and other silly little things that are “just for kids”. I love getting new toys, and I look forward to it all the time. Why? Because… stuff is fun.

2. Have you gotten any new toys lately (say, the last 6 months)? Do you like them? Got a new hard drive, but haven’t done much with it yet. Like, anything. Except install it. Uh… Got a new Ubuntu distribution. That’s not really a toy. It’s software. But it was fun, so it kinda counts. Ohhh! I got a new 19″ monitor! That counts. It’s a very cool toy. I love it.

3. Do you get any satisfaction out of getting new electronic equipment? Why/why not? Loads of satisfaction. I’m still getting satisfaction out of that monitor. I suspect I’ll be getting satisfaction for years to come. If it doesn’t last years, I’ll cry, though. Why or why not? I can’t imagine why you /wouldn’t/ get any satisfaction out of new stuff. Boggles my mind. Electronics, especially computer stuff, rocks my world.

Bonus Question: If you could get any new piece of equipment, what would it be? Why? Hmm. A snazzy new computer that clocks in around 3.2 GHz and has a load of RAM and a pricey graphics card. Yeah. That. Does a computer count as “a new piece” of equipment? Most people would say yes, but I guess I tend to view computers as a conglomerate of many pieces, but in this case, for this question, I’ll bend my own rules and do what the majority says. Why? To play better games on.

Sure, I could buy an uber pricey gaming machine like an xbox or the new PS3 coming out and all… but I just wouldn’t use it as much. I like to multitask, and I can’t do it in front of the TV. I /can/ do it in front of my two-computer heaven here. And I don’t like game console controllers. So computer gaming is best for me, in most cases.

But I don’t really have the money for either, so the entire point is moot.
