Walking into a Febreze-scented '90s sitcom

1) Be totally honest... Could money buy you happiness (even if it's only for a little while)?

It could (does) buy the illustion of temporary happiness for sure.

2) Today (July 29) is "National Lasagna Day." What is your pasta dish of choice? If you like lasagna, are you a traditional lasagna type of person or are you into the vegetarian kind with eggplant instead of noodles?

I don't really care for eggplant, but I do love my brother's firehouse lasagna. It's a pain to construct, but ohmyGOD is it good.

3) How do you feel about people who get permanent makeup (lipstick, eyeshadow, etc. tattooed on the face so the person never has to actually put on makeup again)?

Seems reasonable to me. I'd do it if I cared enough about makeup to bother, and if I had shit-piles of extra money hanging around.

4) The Nickelodeon company has reintroduced its hit teen sitcoms from the '90s (like "All That," "Kenan & Kel," "Clarissa Explains It All," and "Doug") on its TeenNick channel and has broke[n] ratings records doing it. It has also sent the Twitter trending topics into a TeenNick frenzy. Is it too soon to be bringing back the '90s?

Weirdly, I just read about this in Entertainment Weekly about half an hour ago. I'm a week behind. Anyway, yes, WAY too soon to bring this all back, so I won't be watching. Again. Because I didn't watch them--except "Doug"--the first time.

5) Some women go totally insane for men in uniforms and vice versa. How do you feel about people in uniform?

Depends on the person in it, eh? If s/he is well kept up and clean and fit, they do look wonderful. Slobby is slobby, uniform or not, though. [Let me just tell you that alarm inspection day at the library is always a big hit because we get a large contingent of firefighters wandering the building....sigh.]

6) When you go to a movie theater, what food/drink items do you get from the concession stand?

Twizzlers, pop, and a small popcorn.

7) My entire refrigerator/freezer is covered in magnets. What kind of magnets are on yours?

OMFG, I thought this said "maggots" when I scanned it the first time!
I have a zillion magnets on mine too, mostly the freebie business-card-sized ones, but also some boring white magnets, and one from Greece. That one is Hercules, but the magnet is behind his feet, so he always flips upside down. Pretty funny. Anyway, we also have a dry-erase calendar on the fridge. Love that thing.

8) A recent report by the Center for Science in the Public Interest says Cheesecake Factory's Ultimate Red Velvet Cheesecake contains 1,540 calories and 59 grams of saturated fat, but Saturday (July 30) is "National Cheesecake Day." Are the calories and fat grams worth the tastiness of cheesecake?

Are you on crack? There are NO CALORIES OR FAT in cheesecake! None. It's a horrible urban myth!

9) Febreze has started a new ad campaign in which they blindfold people and take them into a dirty disgusting room which has been sprayed down with Febreze. When the blindfolds come off, the people are shocked at their surroundings. (Watch a commercial here [if you must]) Would you be mad if you signed up to star in a commercial only to find yourself sitting in a room of complete filth?

Yes. I would be horrified. And, by the way, this wouldn't work in a really dirty/dusty room if your victims were allergy-prone. In fact, people who are allergic to scent probably shouldn't be victimized this way either. I really don't like these ads.

10) Do you think hair shampoo and conditioner bottles really need to have directions?

The only decision or difference is whether the conditioner is supposed to be left in for awhile or not. Otherwise, yeah, it's pretty straightforward: wash, rinse, condition, rinse.
