The rules:
1. Leave me a comment saying anything random, like your favorite lyric to your current favorite song. Or your favorite kind of sandwich. Something random. Whatever you like.
2. I respond by asking you five personal questions so I can get to know you better.
3. You WILL update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and offer to ask someone else in the post.
5. When others comment asking to be asked, you will ask them five questions.
Questions from unblinkered:
1. Are you content with your life just now?
In many ways. I wish I was busier at work or at least felt that what I was doing had a bigger impact. I'd also like a new body.
2. How come there haven't been more tales of adopted kittens recently?
We have both been too busy to manage a kitten feeding schedule.
3. Favourite market stall?
There are several I really like. Alex Farms at the St. Lawrence has the widest range of farmhouse and artisanal cheeses I have ever seen. I suspect that if it's commercially available, they can get it. The Hungarian pig guys (do they have a name?) are also great. They raise their own pigs and sell a wide range of fresh, smoked and cured pig products, all of very high quality. I also have a soft spot for Monforte Dairy who make small quantities of sheeps milk cheese of various types. Lovely people to chat to and appreciative of knowledgeable customers.
4. I have an idea of what books, music and films you like, but what are your thoughts on architecture?
It's not something I think about a lot but I'm aware of it as a component of the urban landscape that I inhabit. I'm not overly thrilled by Victorian Gothic or Modern Brutalist. I tend to like Romanesque and Neo-Classical more. I appreciate modern architecture that's trying to do more than fit the biggest possible glass and concrete block into a given space. I like Durham Cathedral, The PPG building and the new crystal at the ROM. I dislike the TD Centre and Tunney's Pasture intensely. I like the Canadian Supreme Court building.
5. Do you think of me as Irish or German?
I dunno really. More Irish than German I suppose. Just don't mention the war!
