anonymoose_au10:27pm: Sorry for the lack of updates lately, but fear not you haven't missed anything exciting from me :OP Same old same old really, aside from the Time and Motion thing we've been doing at work. As I think of mentioned it's proving to be a bit of an ass because I don't really work in that manner, so it does stress me out a bit.
Meanwhile my house remains an utter mess, I really gotta do something about that especially because in November there's gonna be an inspection because the Strata Committee has hired some company to look for any defects. Since I'm not on the committee I have no idea if this is because people are having issues or because the apartment building is over 5 years old now. The builders are on the hook for most things for a five year period once the building is finish, but that would have been earlier this year (I moved in as soon as the place was finished in 2019), but who knows. So yeah, definitely got to have the place looking like a proper human lives here, LOL. Although, there's the winter garden to consider...I've got quite a bit of stuff out there as well. Dang.
In other news I've been wanting to catch up on those Friday Fives, although I'm not entirely sure which was the last one I did so I must have left off updating for longer than I thought LOL... but I think I've figured it out now so let's get to it!

These questions were written by Dreamwidth user zenigotchas.
1. What's the strangest, unexplainable incident you have experienced or have heard of? Does the Orange Thing getting elected President of the USA count? Because that's some crazy shit right there. In all seriousness, I don't think I've ever experience anything truly inexplicable personally. Some stuff you read about the Bermuda Triangle is pretty out there though, like that squadron of planes that disappeared, where did they go? Spooky.
2. Which mythical creatures or cryptids do you think are most likely to exist or have existed? Hmm... maybe the Yeti or Big Foot? They could be the missing link between humans and the great apes. There's probably not any of them around anymore though.
3. If you became a mythical figure how do you think you'd be portrayed? Umm...hmm...the Messy One, all hail chaos :OP
4. What animal do others find creepy that you find cute? I think octopuses are pretty cute...although that's mostly cartoon ones XD Although after our office at work was rearranged there were these photos from a competition that we could hang up and I was voted down in my choice of a underwater photograph of a striped octopus which I thought was pretty cute, but my office colleagues did not care for at all!
5. What is your favorite lost civilization? Can't go past Atlantis! I really enjoyed that Indiana Jones game about it that Lucas Arts released back in the 90s.

1. Most everyone will recommend a book or two to read, but are there any you would tell people to avoid? Well certainly not anything "written" by the Orange one. All kidding aside, I probably wouldn't recommend Twilight or 50 Shades, because they objectively suck.
2. If you take a book on vacation, are you more likely to take something you haven't read yet or an old favorite? Probably something I haven't read yet, although these days I read rather slowly so it might take me longer than the trip to finish it!
3. Do you read any genres by the season? Like horror around Halloween? Cozy Mysteries in the Winter? Romance in the Summer? Nah, although that kind of sounds like a fun idea...
4. If you read a lot of Fiction do you prefer an author that has a series with the same character(s), or do you prefer stand-alone stories? Definitely, the first one, I like to get to know a character and see how they develop over a period of time in stories. :O)
5. Is there a book that you wish you could read again, but experience it like it was the first time? Hmm...that's a toughie...I feel like there's so many books like that for me! Maybe the first Agatha Christie book, because that was such a hard puzzle that I couldn't figure out and then it all came together so awesomely!
Right, so time is getting on and I've got archery tomorrow (I've decided to join the club and even purchase my own bow and arrows) and then I'm picking up Grandpa and driving over to my parents place for lunch, so I should make sure I get enough zzzs.
Oh and it's too late in California, but Happy First Travelling Through Time Day to all my fellow Backies! :OD I should try and get another McFly July prompt up before 5:04pm tomorrow. We'll see how it goes!
Goodnight all!
