is that a lot or a little? i'm not sure lol.

first news story i read was about fears that russia is planning to cut itself from the internet...it's a catchy headline but not as exciting read.

would you vote for trump next elections?

No, no, no and hell no.

If you are going to watch TV are you more likely to pick a comedy or a drama?

Drama. Very few comedies seem to get it right anymore. Very few dramas do as well, but hell. We watch more serious TV when we do watch.

What's your favorite Peter Frampton song?

Show me the Way

What is your favorite thing to do out of spite?

Look hot and be happy.


Is it cold where you are?

Not presently. And fellatio would be grand, thanks.

Where have you been?

(When I find where I've misplaced my penises, I'll let you know. Who knew you'd be so eager!?) Well, the last thing I remember is this guy telling me he had a puppy in his van that I could pet... so I'm really at a loss as to what happened next. I'm sure it was a cute puppy though.


Why did Bird Box spark so many ridiculous challenges?

Good to see you indiglo! The blindfold meme from that movie sort of lends itself to challenges given the movie's 15 minutes of popularity. Many people will take any opportunity given to them to get YouTube hits.

What's your favorite kind of rock?

Hi [mention]indiglo[/mention] !

An emerald rock.

What was your favorite vacation?

A cruise.

Got any plans tonight?

No, no plans. Restaurants are too busy to go out to eat, I can't eat candy, and am allergic to most flowers. We don't really celebrate valentines other than to get each other a valentine.

What's your favorite love song (or romantic song)?

"If I Didn't Care" by The Ink Spots

Honorable mention: "If We Were Vampires" by Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit

Do you like sushi?

Love it I think you answered my sushi question before haha


What is the thing in life that can bring you out of it if ever you get down or blah?

Bourbon.

What was the last birthday party you went to and was it any good?

Hey gang! Great to see you all!


I don't remember the last birthday party I went to. But I went to a Super Bowl party recently, they made discada norteña, and I ate till I nearly popped! Didn't watch the Super Bowl though, because I watch real football.


What was the last thing you ate or drank?

Beer.

If you got the opportunity to open for any act, be it musical, comedic, theatrical, whatever, which act would it be and why?

The Family Crest. I am a huge fan, and if I opened for them, I think they'd let me perform with them... which would be awesome!


What's the last thing you watched on TV, or listened to on the radio?

OMG Indi I forgot you were a fan too, are you in their discord??? If not you so should be, they are really friendly with fans and there's a bunch of cool other people who hang out in it, also definitely listen to their podcast if you haven't (so many fun stories about the band and I feel like I know them as people now). Also I've gotten to see them twice!! They are so amazing

Uhm I don't really watch TV or listen to radio when it's airing, but I stream shows and listen to podcasts a lot. Last show I watched was Leverage and last thing I listened to was The Adventure Zone.

Who/what was the most recent act you saw live (music or theater or otherwise)?

Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street, performed at- of all places- a pie company.

It was my favorite theatrical production I've ever witnessed.

What are you doing this weekend?

I'll hang out with friends, possibly play some board games, and watch the AAF.

How often do you talk to yourself out loud?

No, I'm not, but I've interacted with them a lot on YouTube, and they are so nice! I didn't remember you were a fan either, that's so cool!!! I'll have to check out their podcast too!



I talk to myself out loud every. single. day. Multiple times a day. I'm a fantastic conversationalist, and I just can't resist my charms! Seriously though, I find if I say something out loud instead of just in my head, it's more likely I'll remember it, or it will actually happen.


What's for lunch?

Overcooked pizza.

What is your favorite pizza topping?

Black olives.

What is the weirdest pizza topping you have tried?

Chocolate syrup.

Would you rather clean vomit out of your child’s pajamas and sheets first thing in the morning or smell your co-worker’s microwaved fish lunch all afternoon?

I don't really mind microwaved fish.

Are you going to watch the Rising Star NBA game tonight? It could end up with over 300 total points.

What's the most important issue facing the USA today? (or the world if you're not an American)

Ignorance.

For example, the articles that keep popping up describing the angst of people who are getting a much smaller tax refund this year baffle me.

Also, in one day I had four different students ask me if they were American citizens.

What's for breakfast?

oatmeal and bacon

What's the last good book you read?

The Power, by Naomi Alderman. Very good novel. Next up on the list is The Water Cure, by Sophie Mackintosh.


What's your favorite comfort food?

oatmeal! which I had for breakfast again this morning!

What is your favorite lunch?

I really like eating breakfast for lunch, because I never really eat breakfast even though I love breakfast foods.


Last show you binge-watched?

"Binge-watch?" Is that where you watch hours of TV on end?

We don't do that around here. We watch one episode (or two) and fuck off for awhile. The last thing we did watch was an episode of Family Matters. My kids love it.

Who is your favorite NBA player this year?

Lebron James because he's the only one ive seen....and it was at the grammy awards.

Who has the greatest voice in rock and roll history?

Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin, Freddie Mercury and Janis Joplin for the tie.

Tales from Topographic Oceans by Yes.

What kind of car do you drive?

Nissan Altima


How do you take your coffee?

Strong and black.

Do you donate to any charities regularly?

Yes, I do. One is monthly, another is yearly. Others I donate to from time to time as needed. (Most are animal welfare related or disaster response related.)


Last time you were in the ER?

October 9, 2017 when I broke my leg and shoulder.

When is the last time you checked out a book from your local library?

About two years ago. Dune: Messiah.

What is your oddest possession?

Hmmm, I guess it depends on what one considers odd. I have a nice collection of fossils I've turned into jewelry, among them a megalodon tooth necklace and a mosasaur tooth necklace. Maybe not extremely odd, but definitely unique.


Last movie you saw in a theater?

I honestly can't remember. It's been several years. The last movie I watched though was Deadpool 2 just the other night.

What was your most irrational childhood fear?

I used to think that if I swallowed a seed (for example, while eating watermelon) that it would start growing inside my stomach and kill me.

Also, I had a number of sleep disorders as a child, sleep paralysis among them. So I would see shadowy figures and be unable to move or speak. That was a much more rational fear, however.



Do you use a fitted sheet, flat sheet, blanket, and comforter on your bed? Or some other configuration?

Two sheets and the comforter. And I too suffered from sleep paralysis- not just as a child either. Scariest shit.

Have you ever heard dredg's El Cielo? It's about sleep paralysis.

It is scary. It will occasionally still happen, but at least now I know what it is, so I don't panic. And no, I have not, but I will check it out.



What color is your comforter?

White with occasional blood stains.

White.

What is the best 15+ minute song?

In-a-gadda-da-vida

Will the Alliance of American Football have a second season?

I suspect it will.

Is your week so far better than your last week?

Yes, this week so far is much better than last, and is only looking to get better.



Do you exercise regularly?
