198 days till Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince.
1. [Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, find line 4. Write down what it says] "...ingredients are essential to the process" (it's some cook book, obviously).
2: [Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What do you touch first?] Air.
3: [What is the last thing you watched on TV?] Some documentary on geishas.
4: [WITHOUT LOOKING, guess what the time is.] 10:39 pm.
5: [Now look at the clock, what is the actual time?] 10:37 pm. (Damn I'm good!)
6: [With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?] The TV in the next room: Tara's watching a news report on...plastic surgery?
7: [When did you last step outside? What were you doing?] I stepped outside to get into Andy's car to go shopping.
8: [Before you came to this website, what did you look at?] My email to see if SOMEONE HAS LOCATED MY GOSH DARN TRANSCRIPTS.
9: [What are you wearing?] Green plaid pajamas and a t-shirt advertising our school's production of Oklahoma! (We know we belong to the land...and the land we belong to is grand...*slams head against desk*)
10: [Did you dream last night?] Probably?
11: [When did you last laugh?] About four minutes ago.
12: [What is on the walls of the room you are in?] A really creepy cuckoo clock and some pretty paintings.
13: [Seen anything weird lately?] I saw some lady putting nightingale droppings on a girl's face (the geisha documentary, remember?)
14: [What do you think of this quiz?] Absolutely spiffing.
15: [What is the last film you saw?] The Phantom of the Opera.
16: [If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy first?] The ARL so I could burn it to the ground (this idea comes from Joel, I take no responsibility for it.)
17: [Tell me something about you that I don't know:] I have feet.
18: [If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you change?:] THE FACT THAT ANN COULTER EXISTS.
20: [George Bush:] Yeah, don't really like him either.
21: [Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her?] MIXOLYDIAN! (True story: we learned all the modes in music theory awhile ago, and I decided that "mixolydian" is the coolest word ever. Ergo, my first born daughter shall be called Mixolydian Udyavar.)
21b: [Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him?] OZ! Or perhaps Sauron. Sauron Udyavar, what do you think?
22: [Would you ever consider living abroad?] This is a stupid, square question. I don't like it. What the hell is it to anyone if I would consider living abroad? That sounds like the kind of insipid, inane question that they put on college applications. Way to completely ruin this otherwise competent survey.
On second thought, I don't like thinking of it in terms of days. It makes it sound so far away.
