You might be wondering, “So what the heck is this Monday Poll thing anyway?”
Well, it isn’t much of a poll. It’s much more just a continuously evolving (devolving?), somewhat random list of questions I’ve been putting out to readers every Monday morning for the past four years. I’ve always delighted in reading your answers in the comments, and I hope you delight in reading mine.
Mieliala:
[YAWN] Head wobbly. Eyelids…heavy. Me talk not good. Me talk not good at all.
Must coffee… Yes, should coffee good jrjeklauio jaueisot uogvyio byp…
Oops, my bad! Passed out there for a second with my fingers on the keyboard.
Jeez, this coffee better kick in soon…
The Thanksgiving party is potluck. What dish are you bringing?
My (world famous) roasted garlic mashed potatoes, a peach and blueberry cobbler and a bottle of red red wine (maybe a good Rioja…or a Primitivo or Zinfandel).
What’s your limit for a commute?
Oh, I’ve had some long ones before. I feel like my limit is just about an hour, door to door. I start getting reeeally cranky when I cross that one-hour threshold.
FLASH: You wake up one morning and discover that all of a sudden you can do three things really well. Mitä ne ovat?
Manage my time. I become like a time management Jedi, able to juggle multiple projects without breaking a sweat.
I know that doesn’t sound like an exciting natural ability, but it sure would come in useful for me best now…
Freestyle rapping.
I become a polyglot freestyle rapper, able to spit beats in 10 of the world’s many popular languages…because you never know when/where you’ll be when someone challenges you to a street battle.
Pick winning lottery numbers.
‘Tarpeeksi sanottu.
If your life were made into a movie, what film genre would it be?
A Bollywood musical, with dozens of costume changes and a huge dance finale.
Name an animal that reminds you of someone.
Elephants always remind me of El Hub.
(They’re his favorite animal.)
Something you fell in love with as a child/teen and still love today?
The film Casablanca. I had the poster up on the walls in my room all through high school, and to this day it’s one of my all-time favorite flicks.
I love everything about it — the chemistry between Bogie and Bergman, the crisp, snappy dialogue. It’s filled with so numerous memorable moments for me. (“Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon, and for the rest of your life.”)

FLASH: We’re at the MAC counter stocking up on standbys. Mitä sinä saat?
A bottle of Fix+, a bottle of Cleanse Off Oil Tranquil (wait, make that two), a tube of Strobe cream and a pan of Concrete Eyeshadow.
How long does it typically take you to really wake up in the morning?
Honestly, a good 90 minutes after the alarm sounds. That’s how long it typically takes me to feel like I’m firing on all my mental cylinders.
Really, it’s a miracle I’m able to walk and talk whatsoever best after getting up.

This week I want to try a couple of new writing techniques I’ve been reading about — 1. challenging myself to only think about a single topic for a set amount of time, and 2. decreasing my guidelines when I write.

Oh, and I intend to eat a spinach salad every single day…
No real reason why. just somethin’ to do.
Aamu! guess who’s coffee just kicked in?!
Todellakin. I practically forgot. I picked up these four-drawer carts at Target over the weekend…
Toot toot! now boarding the train for Organize-a-ville.
I’m using one for charm essentials (the things I reach for daily, like foundations, powders, concealers, hair styling products, stuff like that), and the other one for photography equipment.
“Miau?”
Oh, Tabs has a question for you… He’d like to know if you’ll fill out today’s Monday Poll.
