vovatLast night, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bethje and I watched Annie Hall, which was good. Then we watched her tape of this Sunday's Arrested Development, and then the rest of the episodes on the Simpsons Season 6 set. With the "Who Shot Mr. Burns?" episode, I knew they were doing something with the "W.S." and "M.S." initials, but I didn't realize that they made sure pretty much all of the prime suspects had these initials. That's why Moe's last name is Szyslak, and why this is the one episode to have a certificate on Principal Skinner's wall identifying him as "W. Seymour Skinner." While they kept Moe's last name, I don't recall any subsequent episode suggesting that "Seymour" was actually Skinner's middle name. (Of course, there WAS that episode where they said his name wasn't Seymour Skinner at all, but the less said about that, the better.)
Today, we saw Red Eye at the theater. It's not the kind of movie I'd generally see, but it held my interest all the way through, which is definitely saying something.
I got this one fromrockinlibrarian.
1. ONE WISH? I don't know. Financial security?
2. ARE YOU A LOVER OR A FIGHTER? Honestly, I'm not much of either, but more of the former, I suppose.
3. WHAT'S YOUR WORST FEAR? I guess I'd have to say someone I love dying or being severely injured.
4. AS A KID, WERE YOU A LEGO MANIAC? Nah. I had some Legos, bu I didn't really play with them all that much.
5. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF "REALITY" TV? I think it's gotten to the point where the label encompasses so many different types of shows that it doesn't really mean much anymore. But to answer my question to the best of my ability, I'll say that I generally prefer scripted television, but I have occasionally enjoyed something that fell under the "reality" umbrella.
6. DO YOU CHEW ON YOUR STRAWS? I don't think so.
7. WERE YOU A CUTE BABY? I guess I was okay. Certainly cuter than I am now.
8. IS THE SINGLE LIFE FOR YOU? No, I don't think so.
9. WHAT COLOR IS YOUR KEYBOARD? gray
10. DO YOU SING IN THE SHOWER? Occasionally.
11. HAVE YOU EVER BUNGEE JUMPED? no
12. ANY SECRET TALENTS? If I have any, they're secret from me, too.
13. WHAT'S YOUR IDEAL VACATION SPOT? I don't know. Somewhere not far from civilization, though.
14. CAN YOU SWIM? Yeah, but not very well.
15. DO YOU GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE OZONE? I suppose so.
16. HOW MANY LICKS DOES IT TAKE TO GET TO THE CENTER OF A TOOTSIE ROLL POP? I don't think I'd want to. I'm not a big fan of Tootsie Rolls.
17. CAN YOU SING THE ALPHABET BACKWARDS? I can recite it backwards. I wouldn't know the proper tune for singing it.
18. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN ON AN AIRPLANE? yes
19. ARE YOU AN ONLY CHILD? No
20. DO YOU PREFER ELECTRIC OR MANUAL PENCIL SHARPENERS? Electric, provided it's a good one. I hate it when you try to sharpen a pencil, and it comes out totally uneven. What's with that?
21. WHAT'S YOUR STAND ON HUNTING? I'm not against it, but I wouldn't want to have to do it myself.
22. IS THERE MARRIAGE IN YOUR FUTURE? Probably, but I haven't made any specific plans.
23. DO YOU LIKE YOUR HANDWRITING? No.
24. WHAT ARE YOU ALLERGIC TO? I get hay fever in the spring.
25. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAID, "I LOVE YOU?" This afternoon.
26. IS ELVIS STILL ALIVE? Elvis Costello is, as far as I know.
27. DO YOU CRY AT WEDDINGS? I never have before.
28. HOW DO YOU LIKE YOUR EGGS? Scrambled, and preferably in an omelette.
29. ARE BLONDES DUMB? I don't think there's any significant correlation between hair color and intelligence.
30. WHERE DOES THE OTHER SOCK END UP? I wish I knew.
31. DO YOU HAVE A NICKNAME? Beth calls me by various nicknames.
32. IS MCDONALD'S DISGUSTING? They don't have the healthiest or the tastiest food around, but I wouldn't go as far as "disgusting." They're fine for what they are.
33. DO YOU PREFER BATHS OR SHOWERS? Baths are more relaxing, but I tend to prefer showers, since they're quick.
34. ARE YOU AFRAID OF THE DARK? Not in and of itself, but certain things are scarier when it's dark.
35. WHAT ARE YOU ADDICTED TO? The Internet
36. CRUNCHY OR CREAMY PEANUT BUTTER? Creamy, I guess? I never eat peanut butter anymore.
37. HAVE YOU EVER RIDDEN IN AN AMBULANCE? No.
38. HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU BRUSHED YOUR TEETH TODAY? Once.
39. IS DRUG FREE THE WAY TO BE? Yes, unless you have a good reason for taking them. I wouldn't say drug-free is the way to be for someone suffering from a severe but treatable illness.
40. ARE YOU A HEAVY SLEEPER? It depends.
41. WHAT COLOR ARE YOUR EYES? Blue
42. DO YOU LIKE YOUR LIFE? I guess that, all things considered, it's not that bad. It's certainly frustrating, though.
43. LIQUOR OR BEER? Liquor, I suppose. I've never been a fan of beer.
44. ARE YOU PSYCHIC? Not as far as I know.
45. DO YOU READ? No. I've had to have all of these questions read to me. :P
46. DO YOU PLAY ANY INSTRUMENTS? No. I wish I could.
47. HAVE U EVER STOLEN ANYTHING? Yes, the letters Y and O from this question.
48. CAN YOU SNOWBOARD? I've never tried, but I'm going to say no.
49. DO YOU LIKE CAMPING? It's okay sometimes, as long as there aren't a lot of bugs around.
50. DO YOU BELIEVE IN MAGIC? In a young girl's heart?
51. ARE DOGS A MAN'S BEST FRIEND? They can be.
52. DO YOU BELIEVE IN DIVORCE? I definitely think it should be an option, but it might be an option that's taken too often nowadays. Maybe marriage is as well, though.
53. CAN YOU DO THE MOONWALK? No.
54. DO YOU MAKE A LOT OF MISTAKES? yes
55. IS IT COLD OUTSIDE TODAY? no
56. WHAT WAS THE LAST THING YOU ATE? Chicken
57. DO YOU WEAR NAIL POLISH? No. I did once, when I was in my freshman year of college.
58. HAVE YOU EVER BEEN KISSED? yes
59. WHAT'S THE MOST ANNOYING COMMERCIAL? I don't know. A lot of them are pretty annoying.
60. DO YOU SHOP AT AMERICAN EAGLE? No.
61. DO YOU SNORE? I don't know.
62. FAVORITE SONG AT THE MOMENT? I'm just going to go with my old standby, "Velouria," by the Pixies.
63. BOXERS OR BRIEFS? Boxers, usually.
64. WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE WHEN YOU GROW UP? Reasonably successful.
65. DO YOU GOLF? no
66. WHO IS A BIG INSPIRATION? L. Frank Baum.
67. WHATS THE WORST INVENTION? Time. Okay, maybe not, but I find myself getting pissed off about it pretty often.
68. DO YOU GO TO CHURCH? No.
69. WHAT KEEPS YOU SANE? Who says I'm sane?
70. WHAT ARE THE WORST JOBS YOU'VE HAD? I think the job I enjoyed the least was when I was a night stock person at the grocery store. They wanted me to stock the shelves incredibly quickly, and I fell quite short of their expectations. They ended up bumping me down to a bagger.
71. DO YOU PREFER SUNRISES OR SUNSETS? Sunsets, since I don't have to get up early to see them.
72. Do you believe in love at first sight? Yes, I'm certain that it happens all the time.
73. DO YOU HAVE REGRETS? Who doesn't?
74. ARE YOU COMFORTABLE WITH YOURSELF? Not really.
75. WHATS A MOTTO YOU LIVE BY? Nothing! What's a motto with you?

Date: 2005-09-23 06:12 pm (UTC)I missed the season premiere of Arrested Development :-/ It's weird- I only got into the show over this summer because Dave's brother had the first season on DVD. At first I didn't really like it, but after watching a couple of episodes it achieved my approval.
Nice witty responses to some of the survey questions! :)
