fauxkloreHere are my answers to the second set of January prompts. (These are from emaciated words
1. How did you bring in the New Year? I think I was playing Codenames with friends.
2. What’s the shortest amount of time you’ve ever worked at a job? A couple of weeks as a summer camp counselor.
3. What’s the longest amount of time you’ve ever worked at a job? Well, I worked for the same company for 35 years, though I had several different jobs over that time. I think the longest time in one job was probably about 7 years.
4. Do you have any songs in your head at the moment? I pretty much always have a song in my head. At the moment, it’s “Born to Be Wild.”
5. Do you have any physical photo albums? A whole shelf of them.
6. Which of your relatives do you know the least about? About all I know about a cousin named Rose Katz is that she ended up living “somewhere in the midwest.” And that is, of course, too common a name to get very far researching.
7. At what time does it get dark in the winter wear you live? About 5 p.m. (or earlier right around the winter solstice.)
8. Do you plan ahead for your dinners? Only to the extent of making a list before going grocery shopping.
9. When was the last time you had to walk up or down stairs? A couple of hours ago. I live on the second floor of a building without an elevator, so any time I go out on foot, I have to climb stairs.
10. Can you sleep with socks on? Not only can I, but I usually do.
11. Do you ever listen to talk radio or podcasts? If you do, what are some of your favorite shows? I listen to You’re Invited, which is the podcast about the Washington Post Style Invitational.
12. If you had the chance to see one band, (past or present) live, who would you pick? Moxy Fruvous.
13. Do you enjoy camping? I love it.
14. What do you always take with you when you leave the house? My keys.
15. Favorite musical artists? Too many to list. I’ll start with Pierre Bensusan, Jonathan Richman, Angelique Kidjo, and Pink Martini.
16. What is your favorite kind of cheese? I’m not a big cheese eater, but I do like pepper jack on some sandwiches.
17. What’s your least favorite month? January. I hate cold weather and early sunsets.
18. Did you ever have to take home a fake baby in health class? That wasn’t a thing when I was growing up.
19. Have you ever baked a pie? Yes, but I prefer making other desserts.
20. What is your favorite yogurt topping? Berries.
21. Which is worse, being in a place that is too loud or too quiet? Too loud. I am not sure there is such a thing as too quiet.
22. Which countries have you been to? Which was your favorite? Depending on what you count as country, I’ve been to between 90 and 110 and I’m not about to list them all. Some of my favorites have been Italy, Georgia, Namibia, and Vietnam.
23. What are some things that initially attract you to the preferred sex? I like tall hairy men. But in the long run, brains and wit matter more.
24. When was the last time you ate a great deal of food in one sitting? Probably around November, when I went to the Second Avenue Deli in New York.
25. Have you ever taught someone else a useful skill? I am not sure if it is a useful skill, but I have taught a couple of people how to crochet.
26. Do you play video games? I play Bejeweld Blitz on my phone.
27. Were there any classes you enjoyed because of the teacher? I generally found that the teacher was more important than the subject matter when it came to whether or not I’d like a class.
28. Does your town/city suit your lifestyle? for the most part, I have easy access to convenient transportation, can walk to a nice park, and can go to lots of entertainment events.
29. If you have something on your mind, who are you most likely to talk to? I have a couple of friends who are good listeners.
30. What is your concession stand must have at the movies? I rarely get anything at movie theatre concession stands.
