27. the area used to be skid row
downtown houston has changed a lot since the 80s, it still sucks, they still smoke crack, but they "liquidated the ghetto" and have all kinds of nonsensical brand new buildings and themey bars and restaurants now.

houston is really trying very hard to be a big city now.

11. Why not?

3. Do you have any recurring dreams or nightmares? Okay...now y'all will know how truly bizarre I am. I have recurring dreams about box scores and game summaries.

4. Do you plan to move and/or change jobs within the next year? Nope. If I changed jobs, what kind of recurring dreams would I have then? I'm afraid to even think about it. Besides -- I like my house and I like my job.

5. What makes you cry? Depends. Different things. Sometimes I'll cry at a Kleenex commercial. The new one where the guy sets up the blue couch on the street and just listens to people does it.

32. There are several moments in Love, Actually that make me cry.
The opening montage, also at Heathrow.

The scene where he goes to his best friend's wife and holds up the sign that says, "To me, you are perfect."

The scene where Liam Neeson begins to cry in the kitchen with Emma Thompson while they are eating cereal out of the box.

I love that movie.

Response to Original message
26. 1) Two buildings about 10 stories....
Edited on Wed Jan-03-07 03:09 PM by Strawman
2) Errr. The fact that I don't know this answer probably means I owe Mrs. S. (and myself) a hot date soon
3) Yeah. I'm wearing sun god robes and a thousand naked women are screaming and throwing little pickles at me...actually no. No recurring dreams.
4) No plans to move or change jobs until the Ph.D. is done in 2.5 years. Hopefully everything can stay status quo until then.
5) Anything. I'm pathetic. Recently the end of some Monk episode and that Israel Kamakawiwo'ole version of "Over the Rainbow" both made me cry.

I dream about my mom alot, she died 6-15-05, and I guess it's my way of keeping in touch.

Not sure, I'm currently a stay at home mom (the toughest job ever) but I may find something part time.

5. What makes you cry?

Something bad happening to one of my kids.
