Sunshine Daydream

~ Meg

As is my custom when someone nominates me for an award, I try to accommodate if I can, but I never play by the rules. Mostly because these things require you to pass on the award to others who may or may not wish to join in. This is supposed to be the Sunshine Blogger award and I was nominated by the lovely Vinnie H. Do go check out his wildly entertaining film and television blog. These are the questions Vinnie asked and my answers to them:

  1. How often would you say you spend on your blog? I blog nearly every day. Even if I don’t post, I try to visit and comment on all the blogs I follow. Depending on the type of post I’m putting together, I could spend anywhere from an hour to several hours writing and compiling information and composing the text.
  2. What has blogging taught you? Blogging has ‘taught’ me that some of the people you meet, can become very dear friends. This was something I never really expected when I started my blog. Actually, I really didn’t know what to expect when I started blogging. I figured I’d maybe connect with some other writers and get some feedback on the pieces I would post. But I’ve met all sorts of wonderful creative people, had the chance to collaborate with some of them, and I’ve been enlightened by the things they are passionate about which only serves to make my life a little better, you know?
  3. Amy Adams or Natalie Portman? Amy Adams, hands down. No offense to Natalie, she’s a wonderful actress, and very beautiful but Amy is something special.
  4. Walks along the beach or romantic meal inside? Both? How about a walk on the beach and then a romantic meal inside?
  5. Have you ever written in the nude? Silly question. I’m nude right now.
  6. What film had the biggest emotional impact on you? This is a tough one, so I’m just going to go with the very first thing that popped into my head: Planet of the Apes, the original with Charlton Heston. When he finally realizes he’s on earth and mankind has basically destroyed themselves…. Wow.
  7. What is your fondest memory from childhood? I spent a lot of time in the company of my grandmother. She was a painter and used to give me a brush and a pail of water to ‘paint’ the sidewalk with. I could spend hours, believe it or not, painting and repainting the sidewalk with pictures that would dry in the sun and need to be redone.
  8. Is there any scene you would love to recreate from a movie? Yes! I want to be the woman King Kong carries to the top of the Empire State Building.
  9. Where do you see yourself in five years time? This is a question I have never, ever been able to answer. Every time I’ve been forced to answer it, like on a job interview, I’ve had to make something up. I have no clear vision of my future. In one respect, it keeps me spontaneous and in another I live in perpetual uncertainty. Not sure that’s a good thing.
  10. What film have you been meaning to watch for a long time, but just haven’t got the chance to? The King’s Speech. Totally missed it when it was in the theaters and then kind of forgot about it. But having just watched The Crown on Netflix, my interest is rekindled.
  11. And in the style of Stuff and That, do you think I have a nice bum? Yes, you have a very nice bum.

PS – I’m not really nude right now…

  2. Loved learning about you. That was quite the scene in planet of the apes. Mine was either Jaws, it scared the living shot out of me, or Grease when I first saw women in sexy underwear, lol

  6. Thank you so much for doing this, Meg. You’re a very classy blogger and your answers were very fascinating to read. I really thought you might have been in the nude, haha. And as always, kudos to you for praising my bum.

    1. Me? Ray of sunshine? On a parched desert world devoid of life because the atmosphere has been burned away by the hydrocarbons, maybe. God damn hairspray. Your award: World of Arcane, Eclipse of the Sunshine, Dark Side of the Moon, Batwings Flutter, Quill Dipped In Blood…. Oh I’m on a roll.

      6. I don’t know that! Though, you thinking I knew you are forgetful and me not actually having ever been told that, does point to the fact that you are forgetful… 😛 Go ahead if you can find them. I can’t even remember what they were. Though I could always ask new ones… 😀

      15. ok, that brings the next question quite naturally, Mr. Cake. Which surrealist woman would you like to spend the evening(and presumably the night) with?

      29. Ok, so #5- You have taken the ladies to Le Chat Noir and you have had many gin drinks. You have, of course, bought them their drinks of choice. Now what?

      34. Is that French? What did I tell you about French? One should never presume, I agree. But there are two of them and so perhaps they would have the upper hand…You might like that. 😉

  10. Ha ha, Meg! I totally thought you were writing in the nude! LOL. With all the nude talk of late, I thought it was plausible. I love your answers. Great job! 😀
