Aloha Friday: Halloween-style

It's been awhile since I've had the time to do this.  Or I forget about (more likely) and then say, "Drats!" on Saturday morning.

In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too.

Therefore, I’ll ask a simple question for you to answer. Nothing that requires a lengthy response. If you’d like to participate, just post your own question on your blog and leave your link below. Don’t forget to visit the other participants! It’s a great way to make new bloggy friends!

With Halloween fast approaching, tell me your favorite Halloween candy.

I'm totally a fan of the miniature boxes of Junior Mints myself.  And Milky Ways.  And I feel the calories already.

It's Aloha Friday.  In Hawaii, Aloha Friday is the day that we take it easy and look forward to the weekend. So I thought that on Fridays I would take it easy on posting, too.

Fall is quickly approaching.  It's my favorite time of year.  Halloween, the smell of leaves falling from the trees and times of playing in them while my dad kept having to rake them again, apple picking...so many wonderul things.

What is your favorite thing about Fall?

Aloha Friday # 145

Thank God it's Friday.  I'm ready for two days off and hopefully, unlike last weekend, I won't spend the entire time sick and sleeping most of the time away.  While I love sleep, there was absolutely no productivity of any kind.

On my way to work I was catching up on the Nerdist podcast, which is one of the many I adore, and it got me to thinking about the world of podcasts.  How addicted I've become to a lot of them.  How certain people are able to use podcasts to create a following and get published (Scott Sigler) or just entertain their fans (Kevin Smith).

Do you listen to podcasts?  If so, what are some of your favorites?

A few of my favorites:  The Nerdist (as linked above), Doug Loves Movies, Smodcast, and even though it no longer exists, I love relistening to all the old Jillian Michaels podcasts.

Aloha Friday - Week # 144

http://islandlife808.com/category/memes/aloha-friday/

It's another Aloha Friday, a day where we can all keep it simple and ask interesting, but not-too-difficult questions.  A bunch of my friends are currently at Comic Con and it got me to thinking about television shows/movies/authors and it brought me to this question:

If you could meet the cast of your favorite television show, would you want to do it?

I'm actually torn on this myself.  Because what if the people turn out to be jerks?  What if it goes horribly and I come across like an idiot?  Of course, this tends to be my own issue as I go right for negative, negative, negative...something I'm working on.  I think maybe I'll stick with my current system where I randomly bump into celebrities (sometimes literally) quite by coincidence.  Unless I get a trip to Comic Con next year because, who am I kidding?

Aloha Friday - Summer Reading

http://islandlife808.com/memes/aloha-friday-142/

I'm a total bibliophile.  I grew up in a family of readers and I'm convinced love of words is in my blood.  But summer is always my favorite time for reading.  Maybe it's just the memories of days when I had summers to myself and my books...but there is something wonderful about a summer read, especially if it's fun and cheesy, preferably read on a beach.

My question:  What's a great summer read you've recently enjoyed?

Here's how to play.  You post one simple question that people can respond to and then you go and answer the questions that others have posted in their blogs.  Cool way to make conversation with people and enjoy your Friday.

My question:  Do you have a Friday night routine to begin your weekend?
