• Easter

    Ah, Easter. The grocery story is filled with chocolate eggs, the TV channels are showing Jesus dramas, and the sex toy shop around the corner has a chalk drawing of two rabbits humping outside its door. One holiday, so many interpretations…


  • Poll

    New Poll! What’s your favorite Easter taste treat? (Warning: this poll is rather U.S.-centric, since I never really figured out what Brits eat for Easter.)


  • Friday Five

    1. If you could eat dinner with and “get to know” one famous person (living or dead), who would you choose?
    Is there any question? Roger Ebert. Totally. Yeah, yeah, I know I’m supposed to say Shakespeare or something, but it’d be much more fun if it were a person who’s really alive that I could be friends with. And he’d be a really fun person to talk to, and then maybe he’d take me to the Oscars with him. 🙂

    2. Has the death of a famous person ever had an effect on you? Who was it and how did you feel?
    I remember feeling absolutely gutted when I realized that Roald Dahl had died before I ever got a chance to write him a letter.

    3. If you could BE a famous person for 24 hours, who would you choose?
    As Snookums put it, “Me! I’d be me, famous!” If I couldn’t be myself, I’d probably be Britney, as long as she wasn’t having one of those “buckets of urine” days. I mean, she’s mega-famous.

    4. Do people ever tell you that you look like someone famous? Who?
    Nope. When you’re a quarter Asian, you don’t look like anybody but your own family.

    5. Have you ever met anyone famous?
    At a fan convention in England, I met David Prowse, who played Darth Vader’s body in all three Star Wars films. Does that count?
