In your opinion, what do you buy way more of than most people?

Hair products. Between me and the girl we have got serious hair product in this house.

Which workers have the worst jobs?

I know this is completely subjective but I’d say service industry workers across the board are dealing with a level of crappiness that’s reached peak obnoxiousness. Honestly there are days I’m astounded at the amount of self-control these people display while dealing with the general public.

Opinion. John Cage is a composer who composed a piece named 4’33” for any instrument. The performance are instructed not to play their instrument for four minutes and thirty-three seconds. Is this music or is this art? A combination of the two? Neither, it’s stupid. Your opinion?

Seeing as they don’t actually play their instruments I’d call it art rather than music. A unique display of art for sure.

How good are you at drawing?

I’m what one would call not bad. Not particularly good but I can hold my own. Nobody would ever mistake my doodles for anything other than rookie drawings, though.

Feel free to share one amazing thing you’ve experienced (any time frame).

There was that time I experienced eating with my people.

BrightSide and I were visiting Italy and we’d been invited to eat dinner out with a group one night. That evening was like being called home to the mothership. We started late — maybe around 8pm — and dinner lasted three hours. We had appetizers, soup, salad, main course, and dessert, each one eaten at a leisurely (to me) pace. The owner kept bringing out wines to try with various dishes. I loved having a meal where enjoying one another’s company was just as important as enjoying the food on the table.
