  • Past, Present, Future – Round Thirty-four

    PAST: What was the first book you can recall reading?

    PRESENT: What are you reading now, or if applicable what’s the most recent book you read?

    FUTURE: Name some books you’ll be adding to your personal library when time and finances permit.

    I was a quarter of the way through “Rise of a Merchant Prince” by Raymond E. Feist when I realized there was a PPF that needed preparing. (For the record, I’ll be skimming through large portions of that particular book. Watching Roo Avery make an ass of himself for several hundred pages isn’t my cuppa, so I’ll be looking for the other plot threads.)

  • Past, Present, Future – Round Thirty-three

    If I want more people to respond, apparently, I need to have this thing ready by midnight. So here goes… but be warned, I’m in a whimsical mood tonight!

    PAST: Describe the best breakfast you’ve ever had.

    PRESENT: What did you have for breakfast today?

    FUTURE: You have the means, the motive and the opportunity. Create for us… the ultimate breakfast!

    Yes, I have a fixation with breakfast. I love breakfast dishes, in the morning or the evening. Why, I had steak and eggs for dinner last night! Yum.

    (And yes, Lilith, I know you don’t like breakfast. You can skip this one, no harm no foul. Fowl. Hmm. Eggs. Gee, now I’m hungry again…)

  • Past, Present, Future – Round Thirty-two

    Whoops, late again. Sorry about that. I was asleep by 10:00 last night, if that tells you anything about how exhausted I was. If I’d been thinking I’d have prepped this thing during one of my awakened stretches yesterday.

    Don’t get me wrong (get me right! hah!), it’s not that I don’t love doing this. I just have a difficult time remembering when it’s Thursday night and I want to get the PPF ready by midnight. Ah well. Let’s do this thing.

    PAST: Sometimes we get in trouble and really earn our punishment. Sometimes it’s all just a big misunderstanding. Is there such a story in your past that you’d like to share, of crossed wires and crossed swords?

    PRESENT: How do you tend to deal with misunderstandings, particularly with close friends and loved ones?

    FUTURE: “I’d like to apologize to the ambassador from Xanfropplegong III; you see, it was all just a great big misunderstanding. What really happened was…”

    You should know the drill by now. Comment with your answers or a link thereto, and link back using the handy-dandy permalink which always points to the most-recent PPF: http://greyduck.net/ppf

  • Past, Present, Future – Round Thirty-one

    Don’t ask me what inspired this one. It’s not like I’m going on a prolonged road trip or anything. I am, however, bringing you the PPF while camping… thanks to the power of post-dated entries!

    PAST: What sort of car did you want when you were a kid?

    PRESENT: What gets you from Point A to Point B nowadays?

    FUTURE: Back in the ’50s everyone talked about how, by the ’90s, everyone would be wearing jetpacks to commute, or driving flying cars, that sort of thing. What futuristic commuting technology advance do you most desire?

    You know the drill… comment so we know where to find your answers, and link back using the handy-dandy permalink http://greyduck.net/ppf so your visitors always get the most-recent rendition. Thanks for playing!

  • Past, Present, Future – Round Thirty

    PAST: Even the poorest of us had a few toys, growing up. Which was your favorite?

    PRESENT: Constructive playtime is still a valuable thing for us adult-like personages. What do you play with when you need to cheer up?

    FUTURE: Setting aside, as we tend often to do here, the established laws of physics, probability, supply-and-demand and common sense… if you could create a fantastical toy, what would it be like? (This can be for children and/or adults, in case you’re wondering.)

  • Past, Present, Future – Round Twenty-nine

    PAST: What was your first paying job?

    PRESENT: What do you do for a living nowadays?

    FUTURE: Barring “winning the lottery,” what would be your dream job?

    Short and sweet, since I was a monumental putz and forgot to do this last night. I’m just glad people keep coming back for more…
