What's the nerdiest thing about you?
OH MY GOD. Where to begin? I'm such a geography nerd (I'm a cartographer by trade, as is my husband) that I'll critique maps on tv and on the news. And it's not in an interesting way, either. I also describe NON-internet things as very "Web 2.0" and it makes me very dorky. I told my husband the other day that I liked the way our neighbors flowerbeds curved b/c it was very "Web 2.0." I also protect my pens like they were my children. I'm just a well-rounded nerd/geek/dork - depending on who you ask.
My color coded chart showing shows I do watch or want to watch and their premiere dates. I take TV watching VERY seriously.
What was (or is) your favorite subject in school?
In elementary/middle school my favorite subject was always math because I was the top of my class in it. But once I got to High Schoo, my favorites subjects had more to do with my favorite teachers: English some years, Speech one year, Biology, Art - it just depended on the teacher.
How well do you know your next-door neighbors?
I don't know my current neighbors that well, but my last set of neighbors I became such good friends with, I asked the kids to be in my wedding.
Sweetie (the dog) and Nikki (the baby). Discussing the crisis in the Middle East and their views on the current presidency.
What magazines do you subscribe to, and why?
I subscribe to <i>Entertainment Weekly</i> because it is actually commentary about all forms of entertainment, minus the tabloid crap. HOWEVER - I buy all the tabloids at the check-out. Somehow by NOT subscribing to them, I feel less dirty.
First I had the first day of school for my oldest, then a trip to the hospital with my youngest. Then a hurt dog and then a trip out of town. I missed my brush with Fame and Vox last week! I had one of my questions used and I didn't even get to answer it. That's my life: A day late and a dollar short.
I have this addiction to buying calendars. I even re-add information in them when they're brand new. These are all of the ones I've bought this year to demonstrate my severe issue. And there is one that stays on my desk at work NOT included in this shot. I think I need an intervention.
What is your favorite cover song?
Question submitted by Ray.
There is a cover of All Along the Watchtower that the Dave Matthews Band did years ago that Trey Anastasio (from Phish) and John Popper (from Blues Traveler) joined in on. I traded for it back when I used to trade live sets from jam bands. It was such a score as it was soundboard quality. I'm sure I could download it off iTunes nowadays but there was something about listening to it on a tape I had been mailed and felt lucky to score that made it that much more awesome.
