Still continuing to exist, despite my rapid state of decay.
Who inspires you?
My friends. I have the BEST friends. Truly.
What’s one fashion trend you hope to never see again?
Plaid preppy shorts. Oh wait, that's still going on.
What is the most spontaneous thing you’ve ever done?
Drove to Austin for dinner.
Aisle, middle, or window seat?
Always window. I enjoy the view and don't mind being the jerk who makes people get up two or three times a flight to go to lavatory or get something out of the overhead bin.
Would you rather only be able to whisper or only be able to shout?
I think shouting all the time could get irritating pretty quickly. Whispering might force people to listen carefully.
What's the last thing you bought and love?
A Bluetooth transmitter. I can plug it into anything with a headphone jack. Currently using it to stream music from my computer (way bigger music library than a mobile device) to a speaker in the other room.
Do you push the elevator button more than once? Do you really believe it makes the elevator faster?
No, but I once made an actor rush into an elevator and push the button frantically for something like 20 takes.I was going through my Kubrick phase.
What's the last movie you watched?
The Producers (musical). For reasons.
Which Disney character would you like to be for a day?
Basil of Baker Street!
What is one thing you will never do again?
I will never again have tequila squirted into my mouth from a plastic fish, served by a very cute topless barmaid on a homemade mobile bar out in the middle of the desert. I'd like to think that might happen again, but I'm guessing it's a once in lifetime experience.
Shark diving, bungee jumping, or sky diving?
Never done any of those, but I've been curious about sky diving, especially now that there's an indoor sky diving place near my neighborhood.
How do you relax at the end of the day?
Please explain to me this "relaxation" thing you speak of.
Which kind of natural disaster scares you the most?
Pretty much anything involving weather. Severe weather seems more frequent and far more intense in the last ten years or so.
What Wikipedia article have you recently read?
Geoffrey Chaucer
If you could live in any fictional universe what would it be?
That would be the dangerous, exciting, funny, and often heartbreaking DOCTOR WHO. And the cool thing is, in a small way, I get to for two months out of the year. At least the funny bit.
Do you embrace or fear change?
Yes
What cheesey song do you have memorized?
Cheesey? I don't know. But I do have Weird Al's "The Saga Begins" and "The Biggest Ball of Twine in Minnesota" memorized.
Of all your pet-peeves, which is the strangest?
The phone company's software that's just smart enough to tell you about an unnecessary area code you've dialed, yet not smart enough to just put the call through like your mobile would.
Who is a non-politician you wish would run for office?
Haven't current candidates already proven that's not a good idea?
What would you do if an elephant were charging at you?
Make squeaky mouse noises.
What's your favorite kind of candy?
That would be the sadly extinct Wonka bar. Chocolate with graham cracker bits are delightful together! If you haven't had one, you've missed out. Failing that, spicy chocolate is fantastic. You haven't truly enjoyed hot cocoa unless you've added a dash or two of chipotle powder.
