Via Sunday Stealing: 1. It’s 2AM and you are not home. You are more than likely: Face down in a gutter somewhere. Or on a plane to a secret destination. Or in the medical examination room of an alien spaceship. 2. What’s the last thing you spent more than $100 on? The Wii. 3. What do your bank checks look like? They’re boring blue checks. The cheapest checks I can get. Speaking of which, it’s probably time I got an ATM card. I have a feeling that technology is going to stick around. 4. Where did the shirt you areDown the rabbit hole….

Roger points out that Entertainment Weekly did another of their “list” things, this time the “100 Greatest Characters of the last 20 years”. I don’t much like EW, but their lists are usually good for a blog post or two, so I’ll just reproduce their list with comment on the entries. (Now, I’m not reading the actual EW article, so I’m not sure of their criteria.) 1. Homer Simpson. While I can’t quibble with the placement, I call foul in that Homer Simpson first showed up more than 20 years ago, and therefore should not be eligible. 2. Harry Potter.Down the rabbit hole….

I saw this quiz split into two parts over at Sunday Stealing, so here it is stitched back together with baling wire. 1. What’s your favorite Dr. Seuss book? Fox in Socks, I guess. 2. If you could live in any home on a television series, what would it be? Serenity, on Firefly. (Yes, the ship is a home.) 3. What’s the longest you’ve gone without sleep? Probably eighteen to twenty hours, tops. I never pulled an actual all-nighter in college, unless staying up until nearly 6:00 am counts. The Wife (then The Girlfriend) and I drove all night toDown the rabbit hole….

A quiz stolen from SamuraiFrog: 1. What are you listening to right now? “The Isle of the Dead” by Sergei Rachmaninov. 2. What song(s) make(s) you sad? “Rough Boy” by ZZTop, “Brothers In Arms” by Dire Straits, the “Liebestod” from Wagner’s Tristan und Isolde, “I Can Only Imagine” (a Christian song that we had performed at Little Quinn’s funeral). 3. What is the most annoying song in the world? I remember in 1994, when there was a pop version and a country version of a tune called “I Swear”, and they played constantly, so whether we had the pop stationDown the rabbit hole….

I’m grabbing this from SamuraiFrog: Pick five of your favorite shows, in no particular order, before you read the below questions, then answer them! OK: 1. Firefly2. Scrubs3. The West Wing4. Friends5. Grey’s Anatomy 01. Who’s your favorite character in 2? The Janitor, whose name was never given — he was simply The Janitor. I loved his long-running antagonism with JD, and some of the increasingly whacky stuff he came up with over the years on the show, such as his preferred cocktail, “jum and tonic”: gin, rum, and tonic. 02. Who’s your least favorite character in 1? It tookDown the rabbit hole….

What better way to get back in the swing of things than with a quiz? From Sunday Stealing: 36. If you suddenly became single or are single, do you think you could last in a relationship for 12 months or more? Right off the bat, I’m not sure I understand the question. I’ve been in a relationship for nineteen years now, so I think I’m pretty good at the long-term thing. 37. Do you forgive or forget? Both. Unless I’m really pissed, in which case I hold a grudge for years. 38. Do you trust people? Until they screw me!Down the rabbit hole….

Time for a quiz-thing! Stolen from Cal in his Canadian Cave. 1. Never in my life have I been: to Mozambique. 2. The one person who can drive me nuts is: You. Geez, can’t you give it a rest! 3. High school: wasn’t really a train wreck for me. Sophomore year kind of blew, but I rebounded nicely. 4. When I’m nervous: I get all kinds of nervous energy. 5. The last song I listened to was: a track from James Horner’s score to Avatar (which isn’t a terribly good score, nor is it a terribly bad one — it’sDown the rabbit hole….

From Sunday Stealing comes a quiz! (Sunday Stealing is all about quizzes, actually. That’s what makes it fun.) 1. How far away is the last person you kissed? Right now, about 15 or 20 miles.

Last person you were in a car with? The Wife and The Daughter, earlier this morning. 4. Any plans for tomorrow? I have to work and finish reading a book for aDown the rabbit hole….

I haven’t done a quiz-thing in a long time, so here I go! This is from Cal’s Canadian Cave of Coolness. The quiz starts off genteel enough, but then at question nine, veers into controversy. 1. What were doing 10 years ago? Wondering what the next step in life was. The Daughter was nine months old, I had no idea what I wanted to do in life, and…yeah. 2. Five snacks that you enjoy in a perfect, non weight-gaining world? Snacks only? Not just foods? Cheetos, popcorn popped in coconut oil, cookies of all types, donuts, and potato chips. 3.Down the rabbit hole….
