I was reached out to by Effie Trinket @effiestrinkets who invited me to answer these questions:
1. what’s your blog title from?
It's my favorite lyric from a Boublil & Schönberg musical EDIT: I see now it says title. that's a film Roman Roy greenlit LOL
2. what movie have you watched most recently? what did you think of it?
A New Leaf (1971), it's of the 70s but it's so doing its own thing and I totally loved the final scene of the movie
3. what are you looking forward to right now?
Seeing Chris Fleming & Jason Mantzoukas next week
4. if you could do anything at all today, what would it be?
Go to the movies & forest
5. what’s your drink of choice? (coffee/tea order, alcohol of choice, pop, etc)
7. what's your favorite way to travel? Is there a mode of travel you haven't done that you want to experience?
Traveling anywhere uniquely disintegrates my synapses but if the conditions that it's on time and completely devoid of others in the same car are met, a front-facing seat train can be good. I have ambitions of riding my first funicular, suspension railway, heritage streetcar, steam train, and convertible on the pacific coast highway
8. favorite month of the year and why?
Maybe May because I'm not into the Fall color scheme, there's still fun colored flowers and it's warm enough
9. favorite time of day and why?
golden hour because it's yellow
10. do you play or follow any sports? & elaborate on that?
11. what kind of music is stuck in your head a lot lately?
pinkpantheress moreso that I'm interested in her cultural trajectory than anything else, + she's making union jack londoncore whimsical again
13. what's something you learned recently?
Oldest bridge in NYC still standing is High Bridge b/t the bronx & manhattan, but they've changed the middle out from its original classic arch design
14. if you could give a TED talk on anything, what would you talk about?
I don't think I can really talk about anything I know in my head spontaneously for long enough to sustain anything, but if I had to choose a topic to research and prepare it'd probably be about people-forward urban design and the benefits of beautifying public spaces
15. what’s a piece of advice you find yourself giving a lot?
Probably how to get to do stuff cheaply in the city + the merits of culturally shopping around to find your tastes and trying new things out
16. what's a piece of advice you would give to yourself five years ago?
You'll never have a ship go canon, always give up
17. do you believe in luck and superstition? do you carry any lucky items or follow any lucky rules?
certainly not. Sometimes for fun I carry around a figurine of my favorite star wars character as my protector, when I don't misplace the item
18. are you musical? play any instruments or sing? would you ever perform for an audience?
19. write, type, or speak?
I struggle with speaking a lot of the time, it's a lot harder to gather together a point that I'd like to convey, so I'm not really fond of oration. I guess type since it's faster than hand writing
20. what do you wish someone would ask you?
"I've just watched BBC Mum, which is your favorite monologue on the show?"
