**************** 1. What is your preferred trusted news source?

The Monitor. All because of one English teacher that told our class that it was one of the few papers who "checked the sources, of the sources, of the sources, etc". To me, it's all about getting the facts straight when it comes to REPORTING! the news, not ELABORATING the news.

2. What is a news source that you will never trust?

All television news makes me sick to the stomach. Except for the Daily Show and The Colbert Report.

3. What is the news topic during the last calendar year that you feel got the worst coverage?

There is a TON of stuff that gets burried every year. In fact, that's one really great thing about the internet, is that the more places you go, the more you find out what is going on and get more of an informed source.

4. What news item do you feel got too much coverage in the last calendar year?

Hurricane Katrina, in all of the wrong ways.

5. If you had complete control of your favored news source(s) (answer to question 1), what would you do with it that is not already being done?

Spread offices to other countries. ***************************

Italian!!!!

Typically a good pizza or something with pasta.

3. What is your favorite specialty food or dish to cook?

Crepes.

4. If you could travel to the home country of your favorite specialty food, what would you do there?

Pig out on REAL! PAN! PIZZA!!!

They don't know what it is here.

5. What is your worst experience with a specialty food restaurant?

Hmm...I've heard that there is a new restaurant down here that claims to have authentic chicago pan pizza. I'll reserve my comment until I've eaten there. ************

1) Of the various cultures, ethnicities or nationalities you belong to, which most strongly do you consider yourself?

Irish. All of the rolling green hills. The island. The mysticism. The guilt.

2) Is there a culture you cannot claim heritage from but which you feel quite close to?

Russian. Greek.

3) What's one language you wish you knew fluently?

Just one? Latin. That way I would have a better knowledge of at least five other languages.

4) If you could move anywhere in the world and be guaranteed a job, etc., where would you go?

Very tempting to say Hawaii. Although at this time, I kinda want to say Paris.

5) If you had a time machine, and could witness any one event without altering or disturbing it, what would you want to see?

Wow, that's a tough one. Probably something like the sinking of Atlantis or the Library of Alexandria. Because even though I wouldn't be able to change it, I could at least go back and do something about it now.

**********************

1) When you were little what was your favorite TV show?

Pirates of Dark Water, Mork and Mindy

2) What was your favorite movie?

The Pirates of Penzance!!! I'm talking about the Kevin Kline, Linda Ronstadt, George Rose, Rex Smith, Tony Azito version here people. By the way, does anyone have the record that they would be willing to sell me?

3) What is your favorite TV show currently?

Buffy the Vampire Slayer

4) What is the best movie you have seen so far this year?

V for Vandetta. All explosions should be set to William Tell.

Hillary Wolf. Not sure, that's just what I thought when I was younger.

The black and white one of me when I was little.

2. Who took the photo?

Someone I love very much.

3. If you could photograph anything or anyone what/who would it be?

Everyone I love all done in portrait style, outside.

4. What makes a good photo?

Black and white

5. Which do you prefer: digital or print?

Digital because it's easier to share. But mostly a large print. I've always wanted to have an entire hallway wall or staircase wall filled from top to bottom with black and white photos in unique picture frames. I might even have my friends sign them or write a personal note on the frame.

Bash Rocks My Socks Off

#633742 Windows Me is the kind of OS even a catholic would abort I know I've posted this before, but it is remarkably funny. Bash can lift your mood just as if you were listening to Weird Al's Poodle Hat. These two are still my favorites: 287414 and 21516. Radio silence due to trying to force me to get some work done.
