Posh and Becks have moved to Los Angeles: [is this good?]

Who cares? I certainly don't.

If you could eat only 3 foods for the rest of your life, what would they be?
Submitted by formance.

Hmmmm. This one's hard. Let's see:

1. Pizza
2. Thai curry chicken
   
3. Baklava

Yummy.

How many email addresses do you have?  What are they for? 
Submitted by clippedwings.

Hmmm. Five, I think. I use one of them for personal stuff - I only give it out to friends and family. Another one is for everything I sign up for (I'm a Web2.0 junkie). And I have one for school. The other two are old - one at Yahoo and one at Hotmail - the Yahoo one is filtered into my Gmail account, and it's mainly a source of spam. The Hotmail one is ancient - it's the one I had in high school, and I occasionally get mail from people I haven't talked to in years, though Facebook usually takes care of that.

How many TVs do you have in your house?

One. Well, technically, two, because my desktop monitor is primarily a TV - it just has a monitor jack in it. But it's not hooked up to cable, and I only use it on the rare occasion that I actually boot up that computer. So it doesn't count.

What kind of camera(s) do you own?

I have a Nikon Coolpix 7900. The best camera I've ever had, and I'm sure it'll remain so until I can finally afford a nice digital SLR.

I also have the camera on my horrible cellphone, the T-Mobile Sidekick 3. Worst phone I've ever had. The picture quality sucks, and the phone recognizes the memory card only half the time. I'm counting the days until my contract is over (December 21) so I can get switch back to Cingular and get an iPhone.

What are your plans for the weekend?

Mudbug Madness! It's basically Shreveport's version of Jazz Fest, with Cajun music instead of jazz and with an emphasis on crawfish. My mom and I went yesterday, and we're going again tomorrow. Yummy!

Who is your favorite video game character? 
Submitted by Korgoth.  

Link, of course! I'm a huge Zelda fan. In fact, I spent a good chunk of the day playing Ocarina of Time. I'm about halfway through it, and I still think Twilight Princess is better.

Oh! And I should get my brand spankin' new Macbook by Wednesday! Mwahahaha!

Have you ever purchased something from an infomercial? 
Submitted by Colleen.

I've never called up the infomercial guys and ordered something directly from them, but I did buy a couple things that have been featured in infomercials (both of which I actually bought at Bed Bath & Beyond). Here they are:

The Pasta Express isn't worth the money (well, maybe it is - I think I paid $10). I used it once or twice. It works well enough, but it doesn't really save any time or effort. And the cap is really hard to snap on.

The WalkFit insoles are awesome. I have *really* flat feet, and if I don't wear arch supports, my back hurts. No insole is perfect, though: the ones you get from the doctor have metal on the bottom that ruins shoes, and custom orthotics are way too expensive. WalkFit insoles are awesome for the money - they don't ruin shoes, and they're relatively comfortable. They don't hold up as well as the expensive stuff, but I can buy ten pair of these for the minimum I'd have to pay for custom orthotics.

Did you order Girl Scout cookies this year?  What kind?

I didn't order them, but I immediately pulled over when I saw a few girl scouts with a table in front of a grocery store. I got two boxes of Thin Mints (one to inhale, one to freeze because they're the best cookies EVER) and one box of Samoas. And then I took a picture:

Yummy!

Who was your first celebrity crush?
Submitted by Glory.

I really should plead the Fifth on this one, but since everyone is dying to know:

Yep, that would be Linda Evans. I was four or five, and I had a magazine photo of her pasted above my bed. Don't ask why - I have absolutely no idea. But now you know! :)
