Ask me 5 questions.

Any five - no matter how personal, private, or random.

I have to answer them honestly.
I have to answer them all.

In turn, you post this message in your own journal & you have to answer the questions that are asked.

1. Long one...
Air Force paid for Medical school for Father who then had to work off 4 years active duty...stationed in Oklahoma. When 4 years were up, the family settled into private practice in Souther Idaho. You probably don't have to guess at my feelings on the trend in locales, but... Philadelphia >> Oklahoma >> Idaho???...no thanks. Dallas was the closest decent sized city that I could afford at the time, so moved here with a good friend. Been here like 11 years now. The computer industry has been so good and the living standard so low that I haven't been able to justify leaving .

2. I assume you meant for more than a visit. There are many I would like to live in for a year, but Boston...hands down for me. I just haven't found a way to swing it. Expensive to live up there.

3. Lorenzo Monsanto Ferlinghetti
My favorite poet and father the the beat era as far as I am concerned (though a more public history doesn't completely agree with this) was born to a family with this name. The official documents show things differently. Lawrence Ferlinghetti was referred to as Lorenzo in Jack Kerouac's novel Big Sur. brief bio

4. Technically no. I like to think, yes. I had a rendezvous (I think that's how the kids are calling it nowadays :) with a person I met off of Compuserve before the public Internet had taken off. Compuserve was arguably "The Internet" at that point in time. The future should tell a different story, however, as I have been forging ahead with this idea in present history.

5. Sore spot...Breath in...Ok. I have been so unimpressed with movies since 1999 that each year has impacted my theater watching more and more.

(Eyes Wide Shut,American Beauty,Fight Club,Magnolia,Office Space,The Matrix,The Sixth Sense... good God!)

I had gotten to the point of literally, almost obsessively, watching every movie that hit the big screen in Dallas. This sickness was killed pretty much all at once with the drought that became Y2K and the even worse disappointment: 2001. I began watching television more and more.

(I have a working theory that has to do with the socio-political consequences of the independent film houses getting bought up by larger media conglomerates...but I won't bore you about that here)

2004 was the first year that I actually felt a desire to see a couple and I'm guessing that a few were more than worth it. The answer to your question is that I don't even know who is on the list ...cheated...just Googled them...I would hope for the latest Johnny Depp / Peter Pan flick and/or Ray before having actually seen either one (these are on my list if I can pull myself back from Tivo sometime soon..it is like Crack)
