26. If you could live in any biome (and survive) which biome would you live in?
what the fuck does that even mean?
27. How do you like being roused in the morning?
schmoopily
I've had sneezes and sniffles the last couple of days, so I've been taking it easy to start the new year. I rearranged the living room to get the couch facing the TV again, rather than the window. Folded and put away laundry. Considered alternate options for the stuff that's stored under the guest bed, since I'm selling the guest bed. Took a hot bath. Watered and trimmed the plants. Balanced the checking account. Cleaned the vacuum (a process I loathe). Boiled eggs, cut up carrots, and portioned snacks for the upcoming week. Watched several movies. Repaired the light in the vent hood.
29. What did your last text message say?
"You may end up toward the lower end of the ladder, my friend. There will be lots of royal litterboxes."

maybe compiling an anthology of poetry

44. Most beautiful thing you've ever seen (in real life)?
well, I've never seen a waterfall, so this is subject to change....
It was a sunset worthy of stopping a movie. The details are unimportant to anyone else.
45. Spicy food: Like or dislike?
dislike generally with some specific exceptions like salsa, or Chinese food when I'm coming off a cold
46. Scary movies: Like or dislike?
scary is all right, but horror or gross is unwelcome. I'm too suggestible for nightmares to watch anything that's too rough, alone.
47. Do you like to travel?
I love to travel, and believe that I'm pretty good at it.
In the car: I can be shit at interpreting maps into words when I'm nervous, but I'm terrific at changing the music, handing off food/drinks, knowing when to STFU or how to be interactive when that's needed for alertness—and I never squeal or flinch from traffic.
On a plane I'm easy as pie: settle into my seat, buckle up, get comfy, pop in my earplugs, and sleep until we arrive.
I adore trains.
Buses are a necessary evil. They tend to smell odd. I consider them more of an airport-to-parking conveyance than anything else.
Boats are not my favorite thing in the world but (knock on wood) I've never been sick on one.
48. Any regrets?
yes, very much so
49. Do you like rain?
love it
50. What do you spend most of your money on?
mortgage payments
