Monday Madness

October 9

1. Name three people you would pick (and why) if you could choose who to be stranded on a deserted island with.

Beast, Amy, Sparky. Because I like them, and between the four of us we could un-strand ourselves fairly easily.

2. What is your favorite genre of film and what is your favorite movie from that genre?

Comedies that surprise me and make me laugh out loud. "Heathers" is the stand out there, and I really like almost anything with Bill Murray in it; you never know for sure where he'll go.

3. Which country would you like to visit and why?

Currently, I'm working on Australia and New Zealand, but I'd also like to get to Kenya.

4. What are you driving these days? What's it's (their) good and bad points? Would you buy another one, and why or why not?

I have a 99 Ford Ranger which we bought used in about 2000. Beast drives a 98 Honda which we bought new. I like both of them. A big factor in the Like Factor is that they are completely 100% ours, no loans, and they haven't required any big maintenance things. The downside for the truck is that even though there are jumpseats in the back of the cab, you'd have to be under 10 to fit there. Otherwise, we're in good shape. The joint bummer is that they are getting old and we need to start thinking about entering the ring with car dealers again. Ick.

5. "Lost," "24," or both?

I don't watch either. Of the two, I think I'd like "24" more.

6. You've been very good this year. What should Santa bring you for Christmas?

I'd really like a new digital camera that will last more than 3 years. And a new work bag. I'm pretty easy otherwise.
