| I haven't done a meme in a while, and since one was passed along to me by a certain someone, I figured, what the heck, I'd do it!
1. First thing you wash in the shower?
Generally my face or arms.
2. What color is your favorite hoodie?
Navy blue.
3. Would you kiss the last person you kissed again?
No.
4. Do you plan outfits?
Not really. I mean, certain stuff goes better with other stuff, obviously. I don't think I actively plan stuff, unless maybe it's argyle. XD
5. How are you feeling RIGHT now?
Relaxed and thinking I should maybe change from the Brian Eno/David Byrne album.
6. What's the closest thing to you that's red?
My mousepad and Naproxen prescription bottle are roughly equidistant.
7. Tell me about the last dream you remember having?
I was listening to sports radio and forgot to set the sleep timer, so it involved Yao Ming yelling at me about his foot being broken. In a K-Mart.
8. Did you meet anybody new today?
I did not!
9. What are you craving right now?
Potato/cauliflower curry.
10. Do you floss?
Yes. Who doesn't? Aside from random Quebecois RPG fanatics who don't even brush? (Don't ask.)
11. What comes to mind when I say cabbage?
When cooked, stench of death. When raw, this awesome lemon coleslaw I make with poppyseeds.
12. Are you emotional?
I think everyone is, in their own way. It depends on what.
13. Have you ever counted to 1,000?
Countin' mah G's, stack's 'ah Benjamins, slingin' the 'caine, I gotta be feelin' it... um, what?
14. Do you bite into your ice cream or just lick it?
I generally don't bite that hard, given that I have sensitive teeth.
15. Do you like your hair?
It's okay. It grows way too fast. It's a bit dry.
16. Do you like yourself?
I'd say yes.
17. Would you go out to eat with George W.Bush?
I would, if just to stand up after dessert and say, "Well, you stuck me with the bill after eight years of foreign misadventures and dubious economic strategies. Turnabout is fair play! Later, yo!" Granted, we'd probably be at some place like Outback, where this would maybe stick him with $50, give or take, but it's the principle of the thing.
18. What are you listening to right now?
Right now, Underworld's Dubnobasswithmyheadman. Underworld is so incredibly underrated, as most bands that got caught up in that whole techno craze of the mid-90s tend to be. I got to see them last summer at All Points West, and they were incredible live. And "Mmm Skyscraper I Love You" is one of my favorite song titles of all time.
19. Are your parents strict?
My father is, my mother's hit and miss.
20. Would you ever go skydiving?
Oh, totally.
21. Do you like cottage cheese?
It's pretty damned tasty.
22. Have you ever met a celebrity?
I met Danny the Honda Guy once. He was this dude who used to star in these commercials for tri-state Honda dealers. Um, I saw Hank Azaria once, going down the street. I met A.M. Homes and Joyce Carol Oates once, but I don't know if they qualify as celebrities to anyone not of a certain set.
23. Do you rent movies often?
Not really.
24. Is there anything sparkly in the room you're in?
Oh, totally. You know me - I'm all about the sparkles.
25. How many countries have you visited?
Three.
26. Have you made a prank phone call?
Hahahahahahaha.
27. Ever been on a train?
It's my main form of transportation, aside from the subway. Which, if you think about it, is sort of a train.
28. Brown or white eggs?
Brown. Organic. Chickens on steroids keep my heart palpitating late at night.
29. Do you have a cell-phone?
Not at the moment. XD
30. Do you use chapstick?
Nope.
31. Do you own a gun?
Hahaha, no, I'm not a Republican. XD
32. Can you use chop sticks?
Barely.
33. Who are you going to be with tonight?
Probably with whoever's on my iTunes playlist.
34. Are you too forgiving?
I don't think too forgiving. Maybe too easy on people, but once you've been shitlisted, it's pretty much a perpetual blackball. It's a weakness of mine, I guess.
35. Ever been in love?
Indeed! :D
36. What is your best friend(s) doing tomorrow?
Probably watching the Price is Right and going to class!
37. Ever have cream puffs?
Yes. Mmm. :D
38. Last time you cried?
I think I got a bit misty-eyed at the end of A Few Good Men one night. I was also pretty drunk.
39. What was the last question you asked?
If someone wanted some music.
40. Favorite time of the year?
Probably September through late November. I like seeing the starburst of colors turn into a grey silence. Deep, I know.
41. Do you have any tattoos?
No.
42. Are you sarcastic?
Sarcasm keeps me young.
43. Have you ever seen The Butterfly Effect?
No, I tend to believe that Ashton Kutcher's entire career is one huge episode of Punk'd, trying to see just how much money people can be coerced into wasting on a no-talent stoner with a MILF fetish.
44. Ever walked into a wall?
If I ever did, I was probably too far gone to remember it.
45. Favorite color?
Red or green, depending on my mood.
46. Have you ever slapped someone?
Guys really aren't the slapping sort.
47. Is your hair curly?
Very much not so. XD
48. What was the last CD you bought?
The last album I acquired was Mercury Rev's Boces, which is probably the most accurate answer to that question. Bought, well...
49. Do looks matter?
Oh, of course, to a certain degree. I don't believe in a hierarchy of beauty or anything like that, but I think everyone has their type, which has as much to do with the outward manifestations of compatible personalities as it does with the cultural construct of attractiveness.
51. Is your phone bill sky high?
No. When I have it, I rarely use it outside of nights and weekends.
52. Do you like your life right now?
It's pretty nice. It's getting better as time moves on.
53. Do you sleep with the T.V. on?
No, I usually do sports radio. There's nothing like the drone of some ancient Brooklynite calling himself Joe from Red Hook monotonously explaining to the world for the 28th time why Joba Chamberlain needs to go to the bullpen to ease you into that gentle night. It's like Miltown for the athletically-aware.
54. Can you handle the truth
Hey, speaking of #38!
55. Do you have good vision?
Last I checked it was 20/300. XD So no, I'm quite myopic.
56. Do you hate or dislike more than 3 people?
Are there still more than three people in the Republican Party? That's a pretty valid question nowadays...
57. How often do you talk on the phone?
Not often enough. :/
58. The last person you held hands with?
Mary Jo Buttafuocco.
59. What are you wearing?
Grey shirt, khaki shorts!
60.What is your favorite animal?
Wild: box turtles. As pets: dogs.
61. Where was your default icon picture taken?
My default LJ icon - I don't have a Xanga icon - was taken in San Diego in 1978, I think. If you want to find out, look up Pacific Southwest Airlines Flight 182. XD I'm slightly morbid.
62. Can you hula hoop?
Oh jesus, no.
63. Do you have a job?
I am employed. Gainfully, well, that's arguable. But, nominally, yes.
64. What was the most recent thing you bought?
A sandwich at work because I didn't have time to make a salad. Incidentally, I think people who use the word "sammich" ought to die. Not that this is germane to the question, but it's something that needed to be said.
65. Have you ever crawled through a window?
Only twice!

| Caleb: The TN legislature recently passed a law to allow guns to be carried into bars
Me: Oh, AWESOME.
Me: That can lead to nothing but good things. :D
Caleb: Oh, but see, here's the thing... they made the law completely foolproof! If you carry your gun into the bar, you can't drink
Caleb: Genius, yes?
Me: ...
Caleb: I can't wait to go sit in the night deposit for no reason other than to show off how badass my guns are
Caleb: I mean, why else would you go? To drink? That's rather pointless, I say

| Depeche Mode and Art Brut both releasing really good albums on the same week? Good times. :D
Note to President Obama: please, please, for the love of god, please refrain from smiling when shaking the hands of repressive third-world satraps, no matter how excited they may be to see you or how much oil they have.

| I wake up every morning and think to myself, you know, the world isn't a half-bad place.
LOS ANGELES, California (CNN) -- The woman who gave birth to octuplets, Nadya Suleman, is seeking to trademark her media nickname -- Octomom -- for a TV show and a line of diapers.
Word of Suleman's federal trademark filings came as her lawyer confirmed he is talking to production companies about a TV show, but said reports of a signed deal are premature.
(CNN) -- Pro wrestling legend Hulk Hogan, embroiled in a bitter divorce with his wife, Linda, told Rolling Stone magazine he can "totally understand" O.J. Simpson, the former football great found liable for the deaths of his wife and another man.
"I could have turned everything into a crime scene like O.J., cutting everybody's throat," Hogan said in the interview for a feature that will run in Friday's edition of the magazine.
And then the world spends the rest of the day proving me wrong.
It also doesn't help that I forgot that the Jersey City Post Office wasn't going to keep late hours this year, so I had to stand in line for an hour and a half at the NYC Post Office, and then hit the subway right as the Knicks game got out. I listened to three episodes of Wait, Wait... Don't Tell Me whilst in queue.

(P.S. - Nice joke about the deal being "premature." I guess if you get stuck writing Octomom shit at CNN, you have to slip humor in where you can find it.)

| Thank God for Republicans, otherwise my blog wouldn't exist.
NEW YORK, March 17 (Reuters) - A prominent U.S. senator gibed that executives of the troubled insurer American International Group Inc. might consider suicide, adopting what he called a Japanese approach to taking responsibility for their actions.
Senator Charles Grassley, the top Republican on the Senate Finance Committee, made the comments Monday in an interview with a radio station in his home state of Iowa. "The first thing that would make me feel a little bit better toward them (is) if they'd follow the Japanese example and come before the American people and take that deep bow and say, I'm sorry, and then either do one of two things: resign or go commit suicide," Grassley said. Good call. Of course, people like Charles Grassley were the ones who decided to make it possible for ridiculously transparent frauds like the people at AIG to perpetrate the crimes they did. Would he only follow his own example.
