grinninfooleThe rules:
1. Leave me a comment saying anything random, like your favorite lyric to your current favorite song. Or your favorite kind of sandwich. Something random. Whatever you like.
2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. You update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be asked, you will ask them five questions.
1) Explain the icon.
What, this old thing? It’s Peter Sellers, in the title role of Dr. Strangelove (one of three parts he played in that film.) If you haven’t seen it, it’s a classic by Stanley Kubrick, a dark, dark comedy about the Cold War, nuclear annihilation, and our deep commitment as a species to obviously, stupidly self-destructive pursuits. It’s also incredibly funny.
2) I've barely seen you since I moved and you haven't posted lately. What's the most exciting/fulfilling/interesting thing you've done since Sep 1?
Post DragonCon? Probably the long weekend in NYC. I never did post about that. I shall do so soon.
3) You seem to be one of those people that's pretty much looked the same since time immemorial. Is this true, or are you hiding a long haired flannel wearing grunge phase from the waking world?
Yes, it’s true. Sadly, I have never had any real dress sense, or appreciation of color. The boring WASP you see before you had gotten heavier over the years, and my face has filled out a bit, and my hair (especially eyebrows) is starting to gray. But, yeah, otherwise, I don’t look that different.
4) If you could take a person you admire out to lunch, where would you go and who would it be?
Geez, I don’t know who I would take to lunch. Jon Stewart, I think, and I’d take him to Local Burger, Bueno or India Palace, depending upon his palate.
5) what's the most interesting/aggravating thing about owning one of them thar houses?
The way in which it makes me care about stuff I don’t want to care about, because it’s MINE, dammit, and I want it to look attractive and welcoming for company, and somehow, because it is mine, things like the yard, and the gutters, and all that reflect upon me. And so I want them to look a certain way. When I was a kid, I swore I wouldn’t get caught up in caring about unimportant crap like the yard when I grew up, unlike my Dad. Now, I understand him better.
