Were these so bad I subconsciously skipped them?
"This set of questions is pretty bad." -- quoth Microbie. Correct as she usually is!
12. Have you ever taken a photograph with a celebrity?
I don't think so. But I was VERY impressed with Villagecharm's photo with BILLY BRAGG!
13. What is your favorite thing to do in your spare time?
Sleep and or read. Though today (9/2) I ended up on an unplanned Zoom meet-up with two of my best friends from grad school and we babbled and also played with Ancestry.com for about two hours -- one friend had just joined it.
14. Where in your house do you spend the most time in?
"The living room." Me, too. Although it's kind of open plan, so it's living room/dining area and the kitchen is visible over a little raised counter.
15. What is the last meal you cooked?
Cooked, cooked? As opposed to microwaved or pulled together out of the fridge? It's not a frequent occurrence any more. Oh! I made clam linguine (just canned clams, not that fancy) with a friend a couple of weeks ago. It was good. We ordered wine to put in the sauce and to drink while I cooked, and it was fun. I almost never drink wine, but we got silly BEFORE hand, reading all the "notes" of each pretty cheap white variety. I think we got... some brand called Cupcake? A sauvignon, I think. Delicious.
16. What's the fanciest food you've ever ordered at a restaurant?
Huh. Fanciest? I guess fanciest -- not a one off, but an often-at-Christmas when my father and stepmother visit -- is German food at Speisekammer's restaurant in Alameda. Delicious classics like sauerbraten and spaetzle. Duck. REALLY GOOD BEER.
17. Do you enjoy camping?
No. I didn't mind it when I was a kid, though "camping" might be a bit of a misnomer. More than once it was my folks in a pup tent and my sister and I stretched out on the car seats.
18. What kind of popcorn is your favorite?
I swear I remember these questions and maybe even answering these questions, but I don't see it when I look at my DW. I like plain popcorn, or I like serious caramel and peanuts corn, like Cracker Jack but not burnt tasting and with bigger more generous kernels.
19. What is your preferred way to learn a new skill?
Being directly taught, if it is something like guitar (which I somewhat aspire to). Trying things out on my own if it is some other kind of skill.
20. What’s your favorite horror movie?
I don't like horror over all, but sometimes there are horror movies that I think are very good -- Get Out, Nope, some Korean ones. Let the Right One In (Swedish version only).
21. What is the last new thing you discovered that was really good?
Hmmm. I mean, there's "new" and there's "new to me" which might not be at all NEW. Okay, this Australian comedy parody murder mystery series, Deadloch, which was BRILLIANT. I cannot wait for Season 2. Hilarious, but still a mystery, with zigs and zags and gender up the wazoo. I am embarrassed that I was not entirely sure that Tasmania (where the show is set) was part of Australia. I thought it might be independent or even part of New Zealand. Nope. I mean, it's an island, and I knew THAT. But still.
