Writer's Block: My First Car

What was your first car?


View other answers

 
My first car was a used silver Chevy Nova obtained from a couple several months after I got married.  The couple was getting a newer car as they were expecting their first child.  

The Nova had a boxy almost Rabbitish exterior but the interior was all Toyota parts.  We'd call it the Super Nova after the Liz Phair song.  It had a grey cloth interior and those flat tabs to lock the doors.  I'm pretty sure it had crank handles but I was really happy it had a tape deck.  

For some reason it began conking out.  I drove into the hospital parking lot once from lunch and it just died.  I had to put it in park and then restart it.  Dave, our mechanic at the time, said "Something deep in the heart of it died."  All in all, I think we got six years out of it. 

Next came my favorite, the Passat.

Writer's Block: House Call

Whose house (besides your own) were you in last and why?


View other answers

I was last in my aunt's house for a Pampered Chef party on Thursday.  Went there straight away after work, helped make a strawberry trifle dessert (which I couldn't eat) and the other team of people made a cheeseburger salad.  I was able to dig through some of the salad but it was kind of a pain.  The librarian at her job was just diagnosed with Crohn's.  Surprisingly, because I didn't have much to eat and had been worried about getting there on time, I didn't have a flare-up from drinking sangria.

Writer's Block: Top Five Video Games

What's on your Top 5 video games list?


View other answers



I'll have to give this some thought.  I'm not including any online games for this list.  I can think of two off the top of my head. 
The first is Magic Carpet for the PC.  I played this for hours.  You're a prince who must capture the trail of magic balls and use them to attack monsters and things that attack you while you're on your carpet.  It used a joystick.  Before we moved we still had it.  It was made by Leapfrog and ran great on our pentium 75.  Later we installed it (I think on this laptop) and it was too choppy to play.  The processor was too fast for it.
The second game is Diablo for the PC.  This was another game I played for hours.  I'd just kill things from dungeon to dungeon and pick up all the loot I could find. 

I'm sure there are more but I wanted to get this down before I started working some more on my NaNo.
