Culture? Like ...Yogurt?
I stole THIS meme from Dr. John, who didn't say who he stole it from so that's as far as it goes!In the past week have you done any high cultural activities like see theatre, opera or visit a museum? I visited Mount Vernon ... home of George Washington - does that count? HE was very cultural! In a farmer/fighter kind of way!
Do you consider yourself a cultured person overall? I am NOT a cultured person... I am a person who ENJOYS cultural activities. Truly! My mother sent me to "Charm School" when I was 11 or 12. I failed.
What is your favorite high culture activity? I have never been to an opera - but I would LIKE to go. I LOVE going to the theatre! I love visiting museums - any kind! I also enjoy a symphony! I would love to attend a performance of the Boston Pops! However... I also enjoy bluegrass festivals, street jazz and Shakespeare in the Park! Trace Adkins in concert ranks high on my list! High School musicals will do as well as a trip to the Guthrie! And the Children's Museum is as much fun as the National Art Museum or the Natural History Museum. Pre-school Ballet entertains me as well as The Nutcracker - especially if my granddaughter is involved! So... I can be a cheap date... OR... we can spend a LOT of money! I won't feel guilty... either way! I'll just enjoy the moment!
Have you ever been a participant/performed in a cultured activity? I played flute in a recital in 3rd grade. Haven't touched a flute since then! Don't plan to!
Do you prefer pop culture or high culture? Ohhhhh... I think I just explained that I prefer ALL culture!
Was there anything in this past week that you couldn’t wait to be done with? Noooooooooo... there's things that I'm putting off starting! (How do these last 3 questions relate to culture???)
Did you clear it out of the way or will it face you once the new week resumes? Obviously I didn't... I still need to START! (Jientje... I PROMISE you'll have a room to sleep in by the time you GET here!) LOL!
Do you now know how to prevent such a thing from occurring in the future? I do! I truly do. But I won't. I AM a procrastinator! It's what I do... I by-pass work in favor of FUN ... always.

Melli - -the two of us together would never get the house clean or the dishes done. And it is good Jientje doesn't read my paid posts, because the one I have up now might make her nervous!

Oh I am a procrastinator too. Which is why, when I actually start and finish something I am doing pretty good. Like yesterday. Washed, dried and rehung the family room curtains! And if that wasn't enough, I also washed the sofa slip cover!

Aaaah okay. As long as there is a roof over my head, I'm content, don't worry about that Melli!!
We can make up the bed together when I get there, no worries!! I think I'll have to check on a certain paid post over at Quilly's now. Hmmm?

I am far from being cultured, I cannot see me at the Opera or a Fancy Symphony Concert. I don't even go to the movies.

I'm glad I didn't know you were so cultured when you were here. No wonder you wouldn't go rat shooting with us. I just assumed anyone with an elephant was outside the culture thing. Opera-ick.

You're confused!
I've read all the comments twice and nobody has said anything about these symbols that leave me clueless! I did figure the red went to Dr. John's.
I must not have gotten the memo!

Symbols??? Oy?! Everyone else is seeing letters.... I dunno! Let me change the font... maybe that will work!

Ooooh -- I am so doing this one! Love it! Wish I'd seen it earlier -- I'm having kind of a disjointed day and didn't get to the post I wanted to do because I needed more time for it.
I like a lot of the things you list in the third question, except I'm not a country music fan. :-)
I don't know what Carletta's seeing -- I don't see any symbols.

Oh -- and I do want to see the Boston Pops some time, too! Keith Lockhart went to school not far from us and comes back occasionally to conduct a guest concert, but I haven't made it out to see him yet. I love the shows they used to have on the PBS station with the Pops -- wish they'd do more of those.

As long as you know that in London they speak english (an American asked me once what language is spoken in England ! I am not kidding) and that India is not part of Europe I think you are a very cultured person. It's not the fact to go to operas ! Stupid people go there too !
