how to waste 20 minutes of your day
In lieu of an actual post on Thanksgiving Day, I offer the following quiz forwarded by Stephanie On Bass. Feel free to play along, in comments or linked from your own blog or whatever.
- The phone rings. Who do you want it to be?
Someone with work for me—no, wait! Someone with a check for me. - When shopping at the grocery store, do you return your cart?
Of course. My mama raised me right. - If you had a choice to re-kiss the last person you kissed, would you?
Well, it was just a casual goodbye kiss from the singer’s wife. But sure—kissing is nice! - Do you take compliments well?
Not really. I try, but it’s hard. - Do you play Sudoku?
I haven’t, but it sounds like fun. - If abandoned alone in the wilderness would you survive?
Maybe. I did learn some things from being a Boy Scout, way back when. - Do you prefer hot pockets or pizza rolls?
Never had hot pockets, but they sound nasty. Pizza rolls are okay. - If your house was on fire, what would be the first thing you do?
I think maybe this question is about what’s most important to me. So, I would try to grab the cats and my computers. - Who was the last person you slept in the same bed with?
Elise. - Who do you text the most?
Elise. - Favorite Children's book?
Is Harry Potter considered a children’s book? If not, The Phantom Tollbooth. - What color are your eyes?
Brown. - If you could do it over again, start from scratch, would you?
No, I’d rather keep doing new stuff. - Any secret admirers?
How would I know? - When was the last time you were at Olive Garden?
In June, while in Albuquerque visiting Elise. Because I had a free coupon—I think Olive Garden sucks. - Favorite ex?
The one in the alphabet. - Where's the furthest place you traveled?
Probably a festival in rural Finland. It certainly seemed farther away than anywhere else, maybe because of the Russian cultural influence. Besides, it took us three or four flights and a several hour drive to get there—28 hours altogether from the time we left Kansas City. Plus an 8-hour time shift, so according to the clocks it was 36 hours after we left. There was considerable jet lag. - Do you like mustard?
Oh yeah, all kinds. - Do you prefer to sleep or eat?
Eat, I suppose, but it all depends on the time of day, doesn’t it? - Do you look like your mom or dad?
I look more like my mom. - How long does it take you in the shower?
15–20 minutes - What movie do you want to see right now?
The Princess Bride, because I was thinking about Wallace Shawn recently. - What did you do for New Year's Eve?
What else? I played a party. That’s a miserable night to play, but the money’s too good to pass up. - Do you think The Grudge was crappy?
Is that a cartoon character? A car ("here come da Grudge")? A toy? - Do you own a camera phone?
Yes, I live in the 21st century. - Was your mom a cheerleader?
No, but surprisingly enough (if you know her), my wife was. - What's the last letter of your middle name?
S - How many hours of sleep do you get a night?
6 to 7. Not nearly enough. - Do you like care bears?
They make me nauseous. - What do you buy at the Movies?
I usually go with Reek, so he gets popcorn and I get Junior Mints, and we both get cokes. - Do you know how to play poker?
Yes, but I’d have better chances in the wilderness. - Do you wear your seatbelt?
Always! - What do you wear to sleep?
Nothing. I sleep better that way. - Anything big ever happen in your town?
What kind of a question is that? - Do you dye your hair?
No. Why? Should I? - Do you like Liver and Onions?
If it’s cooked right, sure. But usually it’s offered along with something I like better, so I get that instead. - Have you ever been in love?
Of course. - Do you like funny or serious people better?
I like people who have a good grasp of reality. That’s usually a combination of both. - Ever been to L.A.?
Sure. I’ve been in the music business 35 years. Recorded two albums there and played a number of gigs. So all that was mostly in Hollywood. (Incidentally, I was in one band signed to a record company in LA, and another signed out of New York. I’ll take NY any day) - What’s on your mind right now?
Does this fucking quiz ever end? Any bets as to whether it was written by teenagers? - What's your favorite song right now?
Too many to count, but I am pretty obsessed with “All I Know” by Dead Rock West at the moment. - Do you hate chocolate?
I love dark chocolate, don’t really care about milk chocolate, and don’t think white chocolate qualifies for the term. - What do you and your parents fight about the most?
My parents are no longer living. - Are you a gullible person?
Yes. I used to feel bad about it, until a therapist told me it’s a sign of creativity. - Do you need a boyfriend/girlfriend to be happy?
No. Do you mean in addition to my wife? The answer’s still no. - If you could have any job what would it be?
I love what I do (music and design); I just wish I could make more money at it. But this is what I choose to do, so I believe I have the job I want. - Are you easy to get along with?
Most people seem to think so. - What is your favorite time of day?
Right when I sit down at the computer with my first cup of fresh coffee is pretty nice. - Are you a generally happy person?
Mostly.

Hot Pockets are the best lunch ever. Mmmm. Yummy.
The Grudge is a laughably-bad horror movie.
