Getting to know... the latest Facebook survey.

1. What time did you get up this morning?
6am. Well, the alarm went off at 6. I sat slumped over on the edge of the bed like an abandoned stroke victim until about 6:20.

2. How do you like your steak?
I always said medium rare, but it was always too bloody. So then I said medium, but it was STILL usually too bloody. So now I'm thinking of going with medium well....

3. What was the last movie you saw?
[Theatre] Terminator: Salvation - lame collection of cheesy references to the first three movies. One and Two ruled, three and four drooled.
[DVD] Blow Up - A not thrilling, not tense, murder mystery from 1966. Probably slightly more enjoyable if you're high.]
[Netflix Online] Columbo: Fade in to Murder - Awesome! Columbo Rocks and this one had Bill Shatner as the villian. (Double Cool.)

4. What is your favorite TV show?
Ohhhhh... Now: The Mentalist - I like that he's such an egotistical, self-centered smart ass.
Ever: Too many to mention. All the old ones - The Bob Newhart Show, The Incredible Hulk, The Six Million Dollar man, The Adventures of Superman, Hawaii Five-O, Columbo, Mission: Impossible....

5. If you could live anywhere in the world where would it be?
The gool old U S of A. And a vacation home in Thailand. Somewhere to the north of Bangkok - cooler.

6. What did you have for breakfast?
A chicken salad sandwich from the service station where I fueled up on the way to work. The package said it came from Minnesota.... Minnesota.

7. What is your favorite cuisine?
I'm so easy to please its pathetic. Will it enable my body to stay alive? Does it do so in a way that avoids permanent injury to me? Then I'm good with it.

Liver - feared and hated by adult children everywhere.

When I have to wear 'em (which, sadly, is most of the time) it's whatever is least restrictive, most comfortable.
