Since judiang did this meme, I thought I should as well. Watching the Gold Medal Match between Canada and Sweden for women’s curling. Go Canada! (Or Sweden!)
The f-word (just ask the kitties).

No. I own two. An 80GB classic (almost full) and a 16GB Nano (purple).

Online, it would be judiang & elsaf, but via phone calls, my sister. Seeing ’em in person is about even for all three. Heh.
4. What time is your alarm clock set to?
Mine has 2 time settings. I usually have it set for 6:30am, but the alternate time is 7:30am (for when we get a 2-hour delay, I always sleep in an hour more).

I just recently managed to purchase all of the David Tennant read audiobooks by Cressida Cowell (the Viking books), 3 out of 5 of which were CD (the other two, audio tape). But most of the time, I buy MP3 albums. (Just recently purchased a year’s subscription to Big Fish Doctor Who audios, so lots of stuff to download in the next year – woo!)
