Boredom is making my brain melt and leak out of my nose (or it could just be allergies).
Leave me a comment saying "Resistance is Useless."
* I'll respond by asking you five questions so I can satisfy my curiosity.
* Update your journal with the answers to the questions.
* Include this explanation in the post and offer to ask other people questions
1) Do you listen to any specific bands that, when mentioned, make pretty much everybody go, "...who?" And if so, name 'em, and describe their genre.
Hrm... My friends have pretty bizarre and eclectic tastes, but I think I can manage a few.
Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band - Avante Garde/Psychadelic/Experimental. A friend and collaborator of Frank Zappa. Music is similar; with more emphasis on Jazz and less on Classical than Zappa.
Breathe - Classic '80s Brit-Pop/Soul band. Had a couple hits, but didn't stick around long.
The Gathering - Symphonic/Goth Metal band from Denmark.
De/Vision - German Synthpop, vaguely Depeche Mode-ish.
Snakefinger - Avante Garde/Experimental, collaborated with The Residents. Very weird stuff.
Larry Norman - Christian Rock pioneer, he was a huge influence on the music scene of the '60s and '70s, particularly Bob Dylan, U2, Van Morrison, The Pixies, even The Who.
Nana Mouskouri - Used to be very well known, sadly underappreciated today. She had one of the most amazing voices ever. Jazz, Pop, Folk, World Music, Greek, Classical.
Ofra Haza - Another beautiful-voiced but underappreciated singer. Middle-Eastern Pop and World Music.
Most of the Folk Metal that I like is not well-known outside a very small scene.
2) Which exotic but otherwise terrestrial animal would you most like as a pet?
Hard to say, really. I love snakes, and there are several I would die to own. The Eastern Indigo especially. But the only thing keeping me from doing that is the money (would cost me about a thousand for everything, snake and housing and all).
Another do-able, but way too expensive, one would be the Leafy Sea Dragon. One of the most beautiful sea creatures that exists; but rather difficult to keep (similar to sea-horses, but requires a bit more exacting and specialized care).
For a purely fantasy, way too impractical to ever really do, never-happen wish; probably a Siberian white tiger. Or a wombat, but they're pretty anti-social.
3) If given the opportunity to be taken--Arthur Dent-style, but in our universe--to space, leaving behind everything you've ever known, would you do it?
There is one person I couldn't leave behind; otherwise yes, in a New York minute.
4) What's your favorite flavor of all time?
Curry!
5) Would you be prepared if gravity suddenly reversed itself?
The only thing I can't figure out is how to keep my change in my pockets.
