Sometimes I wish that I were Samantha

So, I've been having a problem with Blogger where it won't allow me to post comments on many blogger blogs. When I attempt to leave a comment it just disappears. It is getting to be really frustrating too! I can leave a comment if you have options other than google blogger accounts for signing into comment. Please do not think I am ignoring you :)

Saturday 9: Young and Beautiful (2013)



1) Lana Del Rey wrote this song for the soundtrack of The Great Gatsby. She wanted it to reflect the feelings of Daisy Buchanan. Have you read The Great Gatsby?


Yes in High  School



2) In the 1970s, Robert Redford portrayed Jay Gatsby. In the 2013 version, Leonardo di Caprio played the part. In real life, both "Gatsbys" have helped raised funds for the NRDC (Natural Resources Defense Council). Are you careful about recycling and conserving water/electricity? 


I sure try to be


3) Lana Del Rey admits that she dropped out of college because she simply could not get the required math credits. When confronted with basic addition, subtraction, multiplication or division, do you do it in your head? Reach for pencil and paper? Or do you take advantage of the calculator that's on your desktop or phone?


I try to do it in my head. Anything too complex will make me reach for my phone or the calculator on my desktop




4) She enjoys Kurt Cobain, Eminem, Elvis and Sinatra. Which of those four gentlemen did you listen to most recently?


Um..maybe Sinatra



5) Speaking of Sinatras, she has described her high maintenance look -- big hair, long nails, elaborate eye makeup, full lips -- as "Gangster Nancy Sinatra." How long does it take you, on an average day, to prepare to face the world?


With shower- 45 minutes



6) She's a big soccer fan, and her favorite team is Liverpool FC. Here in the US, college basketball fans are currently obsessed with March Madness. What's the last sporting event that you watched?


There was a preseason Cubs game on the other day...thank goodness.


7) Her younger sister, Caroline, studied photography and is responsible for some of Lana's publicity pictures. Have you ever gotten a job because of a relative? 


I've given jobs to relatives.

8) In 2013, when this song came out, Pope Francis became the first pope from a Latin American country. Latin America generally includes Mexico, most of Central and South America, and in the Caribbean, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico. What's the farthest south that you've ever traveled?


Florida. I have been to Tijuana  is that more south?

9) Random question -- What button would you prefer your life to have: rewind, fast forward or a pause?



Sometimes I wish that I were Samantha so that I could pause things for a moment.

Welcome back, Harriet! I was worried about you.

Without you, Saturday 9 is urined for me.

I am so tempted to put the urined meme in my classroom. ;)

I am laughing so hard at Gal's typo that I can hardly respond to you. I wondered where you'd gone. Google has done away with it's G+ crap and I suspect that is what is causing issues with many blogs at the moment. I never set mine up as a G+ blog and I'm glad I didn't.
