Sorry about that little case of quizzus interruptus the other day. I was just . . . real excited. Okay . . . here’s the rest.
3 remaining songs I’ve had in my head the last week or so:
*The Boy Who Wouldn’t Hoe Corn by Alison Krauss and Union Station (Pluck that banjo! Pluck it!);
*How Do You Do, 1935? by Maria Dunn (Pluck that banjo! Pluck it!); and, of course:
*”Lunch time, Lunch time, a drinking box for lunch time!”
5 snacks: celery and carrots for the healthy times; peanut butter, jam or nutella by the spoonful, for those lazy times when I can’t even bother to make a delivery method, such as toast; peanut M&M’s, for when protein is important; pretzels, for when I want to be bloated and dry mouthed and Slurpees. To keep it real.
5 things I’d do with $100 million: Hookers and blow, man! But seriously . . . Mipa and I have a long, involved plan around how, after we paid off debts or school fees for friends, family, pets, etc., we’d start a foundation to take the interest from the remaining millions and donate it to a cluster of women-related charities. We gave it alot of thought, so I guess we’d better start with Step 1 of the plan - buy lotto tickets. Step 2 - hookers and blow!! Yeah!!
5 places I would run away to: Anywhere Gina wanted me to go
5 things I would never wear: Eyeshadow, polyester pyjamas, that t-shirt that says “The Free Fall Iguanas Nose Dived My Pussy", any kind of animal print, heels.
5 favorite TV shows: Well . . . Firefly, clearly. Also, Buffy, Arrested Development, Northern Exposure, and the lost, lamented Eco-Challenge.
5 greatest joys:
* Having the coolest-hottest-smartest-funniest-still-loves-me-even-though-I-thought-New-England-was-a-state-most-understanding-of-my-celebrity-crush girlfriend ever;
* Telling hilarious stories about my parents and/or brother;
* Laughing at my own jokes over and over and over again;
* Getting the payoff after dropping a load of oranges from Seville in Wroclaw while playing EuroRails; and
* Being 3 degrees from Gina Torres.
5 favorite toys: My Insaniquarium virtual fishtanks, my Katr-sponsored technology trifecta (palm pilot, iPod shuffle and cell phone) and Play Doh. Fun AND delicious!!
5 people I’m tagging: Well, Berin tagged my girlfriend, which I think is cheating and I’m too shy to ask any of my fellow bloggers - except perhaps Chezza. Chezza? No pressure!
Comments:
I suppose since you have put up with my ongoing rich-fantasy-life, I mean crush on Aragorn (oh, Viggo. sigh …) then I must tolerate the very special place that Ms. Torres seems to hold in your life. But if I see Gina as wallpaper on the computer in the study, there’s gonna be hell to pay!

I’m glad I’m not the only one who sees things like toast/crackers/chips as mere vehicles for a series of delicious toppings. Good stuff, Bose! Maybe now that you’re all finished film-fest craziness we could…like…hang out and watch firefly (I wasn’t kidding about opening night…).

No Gina Torres wallpaper - check.
And Berin, I wasn’t kidding about opening night of Firefly either, man! We are TOTALLY going. Isn’t it someone’s birthday the next day too? Perhaps her ticket to Firefly will be FREE! And her popcorn too!

I’ll take you up on the challenge. I’ve been dead silent on the blog front for some weeks now but I’ll get on it later today or tomorrow…mmmm. Nutella.
Comment by Chezza — Monday, September 19, 2005 @ 9:28 pm
Chezza, you’re so brave. And I’ve missed your blogging! Dip into the Nutella and get going! Dip in, I say!

Ok, so you thought New England was a state, and I thought Rebecca composed “Lunch time, lunch time, a drinking box for lunch time!” We’re such philistines.

Ha ha . . . yeah. It’s kind of horrifying, isn’t it?

I actually snorted when I read “hookers and blow". Nice to know that other people are decorating their blog with eye candy as well.

Re: “most-understanding-of-my-celebrity”
So, you *are* an award winning playwrite…right?

I still think “Deuce” is a fine name, son. A fine name. And Drew - it was your hirsute cowboy eyecandy that inspired me. I thought you should know that.
