KC from Earth-Bound Insight tagged me with these lists of 5 things. I fear however that my lists will be a tad disappointing. I only managed 5 things for two of the topics! Maybe they weren’t the right ones. Possibly I needed ones like “5 recent brands of wine you’ve drunk” or “5 websites you’ve looked at” or something….. I guess I spend a lot more time online than anywhere else and when I have a chance to escape I usually reach for a book.

5 Musicians that I currently listen to:

- marshmallow spike

The Boy is currently rearranging and re-recording all the songs - and seeing as he is doing this in the apartment it’s pretty impossible to escape from it

I usually don’t listen to music while I work of late, just on the ol’ iPod mini when I tearing around the neighbourhood trying to burn up calories. My playlist is heavy with Rancid, The Living End, Green Day and a dash of Blankey Jet City to get the bod moving.

5 Movies/DVDs That I Have Watched Recently

I have to confess that I haven’t actually been to see a movie in a cinema yet this year. Also I don’t tend to rent dvds often. So I have to look back into the mists of time….

- Finding Neverland
- About a Boy
- Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire
- Kung Fu Hustle (as always)
- Pirates of the Caribbean (who can resist Johnny Depp in eyeliner?)

5 TV Shows That I Tend to Watch

OK on firmer ground here. I usually flick on the telly for background noise at night. Tuesday night is my favourite.

- London Hearts
- BuSma
- Zenigata Kintaro

I used to watch the house renovation shows pretty regularly too but now they only have specials for both Dream House and Before/After so if JMum doesn’t tell me when they are I usually miss them.

5 Restaurants I have Visited Recently

I am no culinary genius, but I have to confess that I very rarely eat out or even take out. Seems to take more time and effort than throwing together something myself.

- HxM Brassierie (when all the troops came down during Golden Week)
- Gyukaku (family dinner - thankfully they have non-red meat choices)
- dodgy izakaya type place around the corner with a cabbage fetish (never going back - was pretty dreadful)

And I vaguely remember the Boy and I ordering pizza at some stage within the last month…

5 Foods That I Currently Enjoy Snacking On

I’m not a snacker really. I will occasionally nibble on some dried apricot or mango, but tend to see cheese and crackers as more of a meal than a snack. Sometimes I’ll pinch a chip off the Boy if he’s munching, but he tends to choose snacks that taste like sawdust. I do like senbe so I am careful not to buy them (because I will fang them down).

5 people to tag

Ok I know way more than 5 people who have a blog - but it was a bit tricky to choose who might be inclined to run with this…

(have no fear you are under no obligation to perform)

• Hey MJ,
  Thanks for doing the meme!Terribly sorry I put you through it.*blush* Thinking I could get your list of musicians and match them with something similar to your taste, and surprise you with one group or artist you wouldn’t have known but might have liked; my elaborate plan to present you with a delightful surprise has been dashed to bits.  I couldn’t recognize a single of the 4 other musicians, except for the Marshmallow Spike. *boo hoo!*
  I guess i will have to come up with another plan or present you with one of those cult DVDs instead…:-)) 
  Thanks again for taking the time.

• Hi KC

  No worries - it made me think how much I don’t go out or subscribe to traditional entertainment.

  As for music - we have so many CDs and records it’s not funny! Between the Boy and I - gyah can’t even count - but he’s managed to fill up half a 60 gig iPod with just a selection!

  MJ (^_^)
