  1. What movie have you seen the most time in the theater? How many times?

    when it was current
  2. What was the last movie you walked out of in the theater?

    My Blue Heaven
  26. Book you wish would be made into a movie, and who would direct it?
    I still hold out hope someone will let Chris Cunningham do Neuromancer. It would
    either be amazing or a beautiful failure.

“Once tagged by this entry, the assignment is to write a blog entry of some kind with six random facts about yourself. Then, pick six of your friends and tag them; no tag backs. This explanation should be included.”

  1. I am unable to wink.  When I try to wink, I manage to close one eyelid while the other lid mostly closes and flutters.  It almost looks as if I’m having a seizure.  Every once in awhile after lots of deliberate attempts I will pull of a vague approximation of a normal human wink.  This victory is short-lived.

    makes fun of this handicap.

  2. When I was young, I was out on Lake Hopatcong with my dad and Uncle Johnny in our 12′ fiberglass rowboat.  This boat happened to have a 10hp engine, which was likely way too much for such a small boat.  Anyway, we were cruising along at full speed when we hit a large wave, throwing everyone out of the boat.  The boat ran around at full speed in a widening approximation of a circle.  The boat kept passing me, getting closer at each pass..  Eventually a passing boat pulled me out of the water, and it was discovered I had a nasty gash on my ankle, going to the bone.  To this day, I maintain that the boat hit me while I was in the water and it was the boat motor which made the gash.  My dad thinks I cut my ankle on one of the fishing rod holders on the boat when I was flying out of the boat.
  3. When I first got to RIT, I had one of the small single rooms in Sol Heumann…   (TMI ALERT) I tend to prefer sleeping sans-pajamas, and since I had a private room, I did so.  One night there was a fire alarm in the building which I guess didn’t wake me up, and the female RA let herself into the room to wake me up.  I jumped out of bed, buck-ass naked, giving her quite a show.
  4. I had a Catholic baptism as a baby, went to church and catechism as a boy (
    [info]oldlady

    even taught some of the classes), and was on track to be a good little fucked up Catholic.  But before my First Communion I mentioned to my mother that I didn’t want to bite god (receive the host), and my parents decided to remove me from catechism and let me make up my own mind when I was older.  Clearly, even as a child I recognized that eating the flesh of Christ was not only creepy but also dangerous!

  5. I can point my big toes directly towards each other (90 degrees from the way your feet are supposed to point) and walk forward.  My orthopedist told me I was “triple-jointed”, which I assume means “REALLY double-jointed”.
  6. I tried eggs again last weekend, I’m still not a fan.

The music quiz from the other day was a partial success, with you guys guessing 7/20 correctly. I’ve put the correct answers below the cut, so don’t click that link if you’re still playing. Of course, if you’re reading this via an RSS feed you will just have to avert your eyes.

This quiz (and the lack of variety in the “random” songs) inspired me to finally refill my iPod. I was drawing from a hastily chosen (by dragging random artists to the iPod) 10 gigs when I made the quiz. Now all 30 gigs are filled with hand-chosen albums. Maybe I’ll make a new quiz with the newly-filled iPod… Or I could just use iTunes instead of my iPod and draw from 90 gigs.
