      Do you fall asleep easily?

      Once I'm horizontal, it's pretty much lights out.

      If you could have a super power, what would it be?

      I've always thought invisibility would be pretty awesome. That, or something that gives control over the physical properties of something else.

      If a movie were being made about your life, what actor would portray you?

      What was the last book you read?

      I just finished up The Portable Dorothy Parker which was pretty good, though the literary criticism was a bit dated. Before that I finished Eddie Campbell's Alec:The Years Have Pants, which is his mostly autobiographical collection. Good stuff. Right now I'm reading The Art of Manliness and Scott Westerfeld's Leviathan.

      Would you rather swim in a pool or the ocean?

      Definitely the ocean. Even with the jellyfish stings, the ocean still wins.

      What day of the week do you like best?

      Probably Saturday. That's normally when there's soccer on, I can sleep in, and it's just a good day for decompression in general.

      If you had to throw away either your TV or your computer, which would you choose?

      If you had to perform at the circus, what trick would you do?

      it's not really a trick, but i think being the barker for the sideshow would be pretty entertaining

      wait, wait... back to the talk show. how do you see the role of your bartender-sidekick (other than the obvious role of providing drinks)? one-man laugh track? wellspring of sage advice?

      ideally, he'd be equal parts uncle jesse (from dukes of hazzard, not that idiot stamos), yoda, and the stig from top gear...with a sprinkle of billy connelly, you know, for comedic effect

      Have you ever been fired? If so, why?

      i've never been fired, but i have been laid off...of course the company that laid me off eventually (3 years later) hired me back.

      If you had your own talk show, who would your first three guests be?

      this is tough. i'd want the people to be interesting, kind of funny, and people i wouldn't mind drinking a beer with. (this would be the premise of my talk show. it would be set in a bar, and the sidekick (ala ed mcmahon or andy richter) would be the bartender.

      i think patton oswalt would work.
      maybe also wes anderson.
      and for a musical guest? the mountain goats.

      What's the oldest piece of clothing you still own and wear?

      kate's pretty good about throwing out clothes that get ratty. so i don't really have anything that old (nothing older than 10 years probably...) if i had to guess, it's probably a t-shirt with the york peppermint patty logo that says "dork" instead.

      what are your top ten favorite things about life with kate?

      - the way she takes care of me when i'm sick.
      - she always welcomes me home when i've been away.
      - she knows when i need space, and gives it to me.
      - she also knows that even though i may want space, i need to get shit taken care of and makes me do it.
      - she knows i hate buying clothes, and does it for me.
      - she understands that i get real weirded out sometimes by stupid crap, and loves me anyway.
      - even though i sometimes make her play games she doesn't like, she always offers it as an option.
      - she understands that when arsenal is on, i'm allowed to make an ass of myself.
      - she can be painfully goofy, but somehow i think it's cute.
      - she makes a pretty fucking awesome hash brown casserole.

      THE PAINS OF BEING PURE AT HEART - s/t
      DIRTY PROJECTORS - Bitte Orca
      M. WARD - Hold Time

      Would you rather have the ability to fly, or the ability to breathe underwater?

      how is this even a real question? would you rather be hawkman or aquaman? sure...you would have the advantage of never being lonely, what with all those fucking fish around, but seriously, hawkman was way cooler, even after aquaman got his hook hand and started looking all poseidon-from-clash-of-the-titans. and, hawkman had that badass club.
