Sunday Quiz Time!!!

OK, let’s get back into this “blogging kinda-sorta regularly” thing, shall we? In fact, I need to get back to the schedule that I established earlier this year after I took a couple weeks OFF the schedule to regroup. Regrouping is good, but so is getting back to it. So I’m going to do last week’s Sunday Stealing now. Here we go:

1. Is your phone Apple or Android? What about your laptop?

Android! I am currently a happy Samsung user. My phone is a Galaxy s21 Ultra (named “Ophelia”), and my laptop is a Galaxy Book Pro 2 360, or something like that. The naming and numbering conventions of devices gets a bit annoying to me, in all honesty. My laptop can be folded all the way over for use as a tablet, which is nice though I must admit that I don’t use that functionality nearly as much as I once thought I would.

I’m likely “due” to upgrade both items, to be honest; my phone is nearing 5 years old and I think it runs out of Samsung support updates soon. But I’m pretty firmly a “use it until I need to upgrade it” kind of person, so we’ll see. My laptop is also doing just fine, especially as a writing machine. It’s a bit slow for photo editing (and, I expect, video editing, which I currently do mainly on my phone anyway), so that might end up being the main reason to upgrade it.

2. Can you say “thank you” in more than one language?

“Merci beaucoup”, “Domo arigato”, “Hannon le”, “Spacibo”, “Danke”, “Grazie”. Yay!

3. What do you draw when you doodle?

I don’t doodle at all. Really, I don’t. I’m terrible at drawing to the point that I don’t even doodle. (I have a video in mind about my inability to draw and how it’s impacted my relationship with the visual arts.)

4. Which do you enjoy more, Scrabble or bowling?

Scrabble? I haven’t done bowling since I was a kid. Bowling looks fun, though. It would have to be a “retro” alley, though.

5. Can you juggle?

I maxed out at one. I’ve never tried learning to juggle, really. 

6. Have you ever worn pajamas in public?

No, though I suppose my sweat pants in college counted. I have long since ditched sweat pants, though; I might own one pair, but I wouldn’t even know where they are.

7. Was your best subject in school the one you enjoyed the most?

Music and English, probably. I wasn’t a great student, in all honesty.

8. When you’re offered the senior discount before you ask for it, are you offended or grateful?

I’ve never been offered a senior discount yet, so I guess I’ll cross that bridge when I get to it. Getting AARP stuff in the mail was certainly something, though. (Retirement? That’s cute.)

9. Do you agree that with age comes wisdom?

One hopes it works that way, but it’s one of life’s great ironies to live long enough to discover that it does not.

10. Do you consider Sunday the first day of the week or the last day of the weekend? 

Last day of the weekend, I suppose. I’ve seen calendars that put Monday at the start of the week, and I honestly have no beef with that!
