fauxklore1 SEPT: World Letter Writing Day: When’s the last time you wrote a letter? Most years, I do letter writing month in February. I don’t think I managed it this year, however, because it was a particularly busy month.
2 SEPT: World Coconut Day. Coconut. Yay or nay? It depends. I like coconut cream pie, for example. And I like coconut in some vegetable curries. But there are other flavors I like better.
3 SEPT: Cinema Day: What are the benefits and drawbacks of watching movies in a movie theatre? I have an excellent movie theatre close to where I live, which shows a mixture of mainstream and independent movies. I see a lot of movies there that wouldn’t really be available to me in other venues.
4 SEPT: Spice Blend Day: What’s your favorite curry? I am not really sure how to define curry for these purposes. In general, I like medium heat and like both Thai and Indian flavors. In terms of things I am likely to make, aloo gobi is one of my mainstays.
5 SEPT: Be Late for Something Day: Are you a punctual person? I try to be, mostly because I think it’s rude to keep other people waiting.
6 SEPT: Dog Walker Appreciation Day: Would you like to be a professional dog walker? Definitely not. I am not crazy about most dogs to begin with and cleaning up after them is not my idea of a good time.
7 SEPT: World Beard Day: What’s the most famous beard you can think of? The first thing that came to mind was the brothers on the Luden’s cough drop box. If I remember correctly, we believed that their names were Trade” and “Mark.”
8 SEPT: Iguana Awareness Day: Would you ever keep an iguana as a pet? I don’t really know anything about how to care for iguanas.
9 SEPT: Wonderful Weirdos Day: Who is the most wonderful weirdo you know? Oh, so many people to choose from. I could write a whole treatise on Loserdom, for example.
10 SEPT: Swap Ideas Day: Do you have someone you swap ideas with? Not on a regular basis, alas. I have a couple of friends I can exchange some ideas with, but not it’s more on a now and then basis.
11 SEPT: Libraries Remember Day: Do you have a favorite library? My local library is just okay. But it is conveniently located.
12 SEPT: School Picture Day: Do you have a favorite school picture (yours or someone else’s)? I probably have one somewhere, but not easily findable right now.
13 SEPT: Bald is Beautiful Day: Is bald beautiful? Bald heads look good on some people, but wouldn’t suit me at all.
14 SEPT: Fall Astronomy Day: Do you have a favorite planet or constellation? I’ve always rather liked Saturn. The rings are so pretty.
15 SEPT: Cheese Toast Day: Have you ever had cheese toast? I’m not sure what that means. Is it what I would call “grilled cheese”? I am not, in general, much of a cheese eater.
16 SEPT: Guacamole Day: Do you have a favorite way to eat guacamole or a favorite recipe? I’m not really crazy about guacamole. I don’t like mushy foods, in general.
17 SEPT: Voter Registration Day: Do you vote? I have voted in every election for which I was eligible to vote.
18 SEPT: Cheeseburger Day: Would cheeseburgers be served in your version of paradise? Again, my body doesn’t handle cheese well, so no.
19 SEPT: Talk like a Pirate Day: What would you do if you were a pirate? Learn to speak Somali? (And, yes, I’ve made that joke before.)
20 SEPT: International Day of University Sport: Do you follow a college team? Did you play sports in college? I don’t pay attention to college sports at all. I played casual intramural sports, but nothing serious. I was more into dancing.
21 SEPT: Gymnastics Day: Can you or could you ever do a cartwheel? I never succeeded at doing anything gymnastic, least of all cartwheels.
22 SEPT: Hobbit Day: What’s your favorite Hobbit? I suppose Samwise Gamgee, for his loyalty to Frodo.
23 SEPT: Pot Pie Day: Do you like meat pies? Pot pies are something I like once in a while.
24 SEPT: Punctuation Day: What’s your favorite punctuation mark? I probably overuse semicolons. I also like the interrobang, but admit I have never found a good reason to actually use one.
25 SEPT: World Pharmacists Day: Do you know your pharmacist? I handle prescriptions via mail order so I pretty much never see a pharmacist.
26 SEPT: Johnny Appleseed Day: What’s your favorite type of apple? It depends. For just eating, I will go with honey crisp. But for baking I like tarter flavors, so would go with granny smith or maybe even a more classic older variety like Cortland or Winesap.
27 SEPT: Bakery Day: Do you have a favorite local bakery? It’s a very occasional thing, but there’s a very good pie bakery (called Pie Gourmet) in my neighborhood).
28 SEPT: Good Neighbor Day: Are you a good neighbor? I try to be.
29 SEPT: Coffee Day: What’s your favorite coffee drink? I stick to a medium roast pour over, for the most part.
30 SEPT: Orange Shirt Day: Do you own an orange shirt? I don’t think so.
2 SEPT: World Coconut Day. Coconut. Yay or nay? It depends. I like coconut cream pie, for example. And I like coconut in some vegetable curries. But there are other flavors I like better.
