What's there to see/do/have fun with at Cannon Beach (besides a really cool place name)? :)
Oooh. *thinks for a few moments* Genrewise, I like landscapes over pretty much any other type. Specific paintings...I think probably Monet's Waterlillies. Or just about anything by Monet, in fact. (Why yes, I did very much enjoy the Met's Money collection *grin*).

Date: 2005-04-28 12:27 pm (UTC)*grin* I'll go with the first option, or the second optin, omiting the peanut butter (so NOT a fan of peanut butter!)
Oooh yes. Yes. Yes. Spent several good vacations in that general part of the world and Keswick in particular. Very nice vacation spot indeedy :)
Hmm. It's between my teddy, my train set, the jointly owned lego [shared with my brother] and my brother's B-Wing fighter! (I wanted an X-Wing but was told it wasn't a 'girl's toy'...*pout*)

At one time or another, yes - but a long time ago. I must go again.

I know. But I had old fashioned parents - I think the only reason I got a trainset was because my dad is so nuts on trains that it was inconceivable we wouldn't have one, even when it turned out I was a girl!

Date: 2005-04-28 12:58 pm (UTC)Mmmmmmm - those sound good. Wonder if I can find them in a store over here.
What's there to see/do/enjoy there? :)
Music - I've always got some sort of music on, wherever I'm working. What that music is varies incredibly, depending on what sort of mood I'm trying to create.
I also tend to have piles of random reference books on hand, like dictionaries (English, German, Russian, Spanish, French), grammar guides (English, French and German) bibles (King James edition and a modern version), an atlas, a book of nursery rhymes, the Cricketer's Who's Who for the current year (invaluable source for random names!) plus any books I've got that are completely relevant to the project I'm working on (like the Highlander's Watcher's Guide).
Lastly, some form of drink - usually diet coke/pepsi but sometimes coffee and occasionally alcohol.

Guy called Ian who I went to university with and who I knew through the cricket club. Unfortunately, he already had a girlfriend and as far as he was concerned, I was just one of the lads.
