When did you last . . .

1. Scrounge for change (couch, ashtray, etc.) to make a purchase?
it has been awhile. but i look for change to gather up to put into rolls to exchange for bills at the bank.

2. Visit a dentist?
later part of 2025.

3. Make a needed change to your life?
an unwilling change happened in jan. of 2017.

4. Decide on a complete menu well in advance of the evening meal?
well, we don't really have more than a main dish and a side, so this week.

5. Spend part of the day (other than daily hygiene) totally/mostly naked?
i don't know. and it's not really anyone's business.

other answers are over here.

the latest installment in this year's frivolous feb. is a writing prompt. unlike the random sentence or paragraph, it is an actual writing prompt (according to the site).

the one given to me was;

Perfect Smile
A situation that brings a smile to your face.

in my opinion this is less of a writing prompt than the random sentence or paragraph, and more like an essay topic.
archersangel: ("normal")
in case you missed what this is about, here is the post explaining things.

another one of the more random of the random generator things is a breakfast idea one.

there's no recipe supplied, i guess you have to find your own. but they do have a picture so you can see if it is something that looks appealing.

the one given to me was strawberry oatmeal, which is just oatmeal with cut up strawberries in it.
archersangel: (food)
one of the more random of the random generator things is a dinner idea one.

there's no recipe supplied, i guess you have to find your own. but they do have a picture so you can see if it is something that looks appealing.

the one it gave me was egg salad. i kid you not.
i think of egg salad as a lunch thing, but i guess if you really need dinner ideas it's worth a try.

also, someone did a fill for my prompt; Ghostbusters (1984), Any one of the 4 Ghostbusters, Getting offers to do commercials.

random word

today's random thing (this post explains it) for frivolous feb. is a random weird word. well, they call it weird but some could be called rare, or little-used.
maybe someone could use one of them as a word for scrabble, or one might be an answer to a crossword clue sometime.


taurine
of, like or pertaining to bulls; bull-like

and according to merriam-webster.com it is also;
a crystalline acid C2H7NO3S that is synthesized in the body from cysteine and methionine, is similar to amino acids but is not a component of proteins, and is involved in various physiological functions (such as bile acid conjugation and cell membrane stabilization)

those of you who have cats know this is important for them to have.


also, if anyone is doing the 3-sentence fic-a-thon, post 4 is now up. post 3 is closed to new prompts, but you can still do fills for the ones there.
archersangel: (gemini sheep)
today's random thing is a paragraph. and like the random sentence could be used as a writing prompt, if someone was inspired to use it as such.

Twenty seconds were all that was left and Richard could hear each one tick by. Fifteen seconds now remained and the panic began to fully set in. Ten seconds and he wasn't sure he had enough time. Five seconds, four, three, two, one...

also a 3-sentence fic-a-thon prompt of mine was filled. this is the second fill for; The Golden Girls, Sophia, Her secret recipe.
archersangel: (sleep)
as i mentioned in the first post of this month all of the stuff for frivolous feb. is coming from this one site that has a bunch of generators for random things; sentences, paragraphs, colors, questions, nouns, verbs, adjectives, names & other stuff.

today's random thing is a sentence that you (the general you) could possibly use as a story prompt;

He wondered if it could be called a beach if there was no sand.

the link to the DW announcement is here. there are 128 vids in 85 fandoms.

only a few i liked this year. the warnings and such are on each video post.

weapon of choice --clue (1985) [this is here mostly for the song]
breakaway --north of north
better with you --the birdcage
ordinary day --the pitt
here --labryrinth [another one for the song]

in jan. of 2019 tumblr cracked down on adult content. a lot of people were looking for a place to go & came here to DW, but thought it was for serious posts onlytm. so [personal profile] sara suggested that the month of febuary be for frivolous posting (more on that in my original post about it here).

it is not mandatory & i'm probably the only person still doing it, but the tradition continues.

some time ago i found this site called ranomwordgnerator.com, i guess it started out as that, but now has other random things; sentences, paragraphs, colors, questions, nouns, verbs, adjectives, names & other stuff.

today's random thing is a question (you don't have to answer this);
What's your definition of success? Has it changed over time?
archersangel: this is me. more or less (unique)
Uncle Buck, Tia, 30 years later she and her husband have to leave for a family emergency and Uncle Buck is still alive and once again the only person who can stay with the kids )

there's now a third post for prompts up at the 3-sentence fic community. the second is closed to new prompts, but still open for fills.
i'm only half-way through the second one & will not bother looking at the third. frivolous febuary is coming up soon and i actually have a decent idea this time.

and a prompt of mine was filled; The Golden Girls, Sophia, Her secret recipe.
archersangel: for posts about me (mad men me)

These questions were written by [livejournal.com profile] destined_dreams .

1. What type of hair do you have? (Thin, Normal, Thick, Frizzy, etc.)
thin (my mom called it fine) & ramrod straight.

2. What color is your hair currently?
medium to dark brown, with strands of gray. i used to have copper strands, but i think those are the ones that went gray.

3. What colors have you dyed/highlighted your hair?

i only dyed my hair once in my late teens. it was a lighter brown.

4. If you could dye your hair any color, what would it be?

blue. not so dark that it looks black. not one of those shades that looks purple-ish either.

5. What is your hair's length?

right now it's just a bit longer than shoulder length.

other people's answers are over here.

there is a second post now. you can still do fills in the first one, but can not post more prompts.

NOTE: the icon doesn't 100% apply to the post, but it is about daniel & his 23 languages. it is close enough.

some time ago (like 7 years) me & my brother got an olive garden gift card from someone. we had wanted to use it for these breadstick (bigger than normal breadsticks) sandwiches they had, but we ended up missing the boat on those & they never brought them back.

we went in for lunch on tuesday. it was busy, but we didn't have to wait for a table. the silverware comes wrapped up in a huge cloth napkin& i'm not sure if it's meant to be used, or just keep the knife & forks (2 of the same size for some reason) together. they have coke products so we both got cokes & ordered Lasagna Fritta for an appetizer because my brother really wanted it. he got the lunch-size eggplant parmesan (substituting angle hair for the spaghetti) & i got the soup, salad, breadsticks lunch.
he was not impressed with his food, the eggplant slice was small & they must put oil in the water when they make the angel hair, because the sauce would not stick to it. he said the frozen eggplant parmesan from michael angelo's is better.
my stuff was just OK. i had a bowl of the Chicken & Gnocchi and Pasta e Fagioli (both piping hot!) the gnocchi was little balls, not the pillows with ridges i'm used to. neither of us liked the Lasagna Fritta, it was hard to cut. however, the coke was some of the best fountain dispensed coke i've had in a long time.
but now that we've gone, we don't need to go again.

this was our first time at olive garden & can now weigh in on the red lobster cheddar bay biscuits vs. olive garden breadsticks.
my brother gives the win to the biscuts. the breadsticks had garlic salt on them and he doesn't like garlic. even less when it's garlic powder or salt. and he thought they had too much butter spread/margarine on them, which gave them an odd sheen. he said it was a good thing that we never got the breadstick sandwiches considering the way the breadstick were.
i barely give the win to the biscuits, because they have cheese. both are kind of dry, but if the breadsticks didn't have the garlic salt, i'd give them the begrudging win.

and we have an opinion on the cheesecake factory rolls (despite never have been there) because we got them from wal-mart once. we are both of the opinion that it is a dressed up wheat bread & nothing special.

it's been ages since i've changed it.

it was Mediterranean Peach by branchandroot for Modular because i wanted to keep using my headers, but i guess you can do that with most styles(?).

i tried New Ocean by dancing_serpent for Tranquility III, but my current header had part of the beginning of the image added at the end.

i'm using Night Sea by branchandroot for Tranquility III. i might change it, it's kind of dark for my liking.

ETA: I was right it was too dark. i must have tried a dozen or more styles & all of them had my current header had part of the beginning of the image added at the end. even different colors of Modular. so, i'm back to where i started from. maybe someone smarter than me knows how to fix the header issue. but i'm tired of banging my head against a wall.

ETA 2: OMG! i had to center the header and select "don't tile" to get it to work. new layout/theme is New Ocean by dancing_serpent for Tranquility III.
and now that i figured this out, i may be changing it now and then.
