1. Ever considered just deleting your Blog and not doing it anymore? What prompted that and what stopped you?
Yes....twice. I just woke up one day and flet like I had nothing to say. I almost felt as if the whole blog thing was just pointless. However, several rate e-mails later and me getting off my ass changed that. Although, every once in a while I think about dumping it.
2. How about a quick review of the last movie you saw?
I saw Signs. Great movie. Not what I thought it was going to be. I think Shyamalan is definitely one of the bets new directors to emerge in the last five years. He knows how to control a movie;s flow through both the script and the performances quite well. I also think he knows how to write movies that contain both intellectual elements and sensational elements. Something for everybody really. This particular movie was great in the way it created suspense and in the few "jump" moments that were very effective and not cheesy. I think he did a great job with the script and the dialogue especially the play on words of the title and the internal dialogues.
3. What's your favorite gadget? Are you lusting for any new ones? Will you ever be satisified???
Um....I am not really a gagdet person, so not sure what I put down here. I am rather impressed with that new tube-like thing that removes the skin off of garlic cloves by simply rolling it a few times on the countertop. I hate that garlic smell on my fingers when I try to peel them.
4. Saturday night I played "UNO" for the first time in years, I mean it has been over 10 years since I played it. It was great fun, but it really made me want to learn how to play Backgammon again. What "table game" do you enjoy playing most with other people? Have you played it lately?
Haven;t played a table game in a loooooooooooooooong time. However, I enjoyed playing UNO and Monopoly growing up and would love to try those again. I think table games should be revived. They were both fun and intellectualy stimulating. Not just the commercial mind fuck that most media outlets provide.
5. About a year ago I was obsessed with loosing weight, and I dropped pretty low before I got a handle on things (I've actually gained about 8 pounds of it back, and it is still a struggle sometimes to not try to loose it). Thankfully, I like fattening sweets and buttery popcorn too much to live like that for too long. Have you ever been obsessed with something so much that it was close to causing you physical or mental harm? If not, have you known anyone else who has?
Me? Obsessed? Noooooooooooooooo. Nothing that came close to causing me harm. I don;t have an addictive personality really. However, several people I know do and needlessly put themselves on the edge of destruction for one assinine reason or another.
6. Did you grow up in a family or community that displayed racist or prejudice attitudes? Did it influence you in any way, either toward or away from those views? How did you manage to avoid it, or did you?
I did not realize how racist my family was until I came to this country 11 years ago. It is a nice unhealthy blend of racism and prejudice to pretty much anything that falls under the category of "other." They fell into all the stretopyical trappings of ignorance without any basis of understanding or attempt to understand. I have been an open-minded person all my life so all their views did was reinforce my belief and make me think less of them. Ignorance is one thing, stupidity is another. And oh what a fine line exists between the two.
7. Good grief, I am starving! You got anything to eat around here?
I just went shopping so what do you want? I got me some balogna, some spaghetti, some cerela, sherbert. Whatchu want?
BONUS: What did you tell them?
Nothing. I say nothing to no one. What goes in one end never comes out there other.....get your mind out of the gutter.
