Beauceron (Berger de Beauce)
February
13. What was the last song you listened to of your choosing? What was the last song you heard that was imposed on you (e.g. background music at a store, in someone else's car, etc.)?
I had music on shuffle while I was outside with Alistair earlier, and what came up was "Ti Amo" by Laura Branigan.
(I started writing these answers during the week, so this was written on a weekday.) The last song I heard that was imposed on me was in my work's weird upstairs foyer. There are a couple of armchairs for people waiting for something/someone, but mostly it's a place for passing through to somewhere else, and yet this is the one place in the building that gets piped music. I suspect it's our hold music, and it's a weird hodge-podge of pop songs from the seventies to... well, not to the present, exactly, but I have heard early Britney, so to the early aughts. You never know what you're going to get when you wander through. Today, I got this:
(I've never seen that video before. Those shiny suits are amazing.)
14. Do you play mobile games on your phone? If yes, what is the most addictive game you've played?
I have Merge Magic on my phone, which is one of those ones where you merge three plants to make one bigger plant and three eggs to make a dragon and so on. On my laptop I have Gardenscapes: New Acres, which is a match three game. They are both chronic time sucks.
15. Do you text more or call more? Why?
Text. I'm not big on phone calls.
16. Most important in a partner or best friend: intelligence or sense of humour?
What sort of intelligence? What sort of humour? I'd say kindness tops both.
17. February 17 is "Random Acts of Kindness Day". What random act of kindness would you like someone to perform for you?
It wouldn't be random if I had a say in it, would it?
18. What are you going to do this weekend?
Today is Saturday, and I had to go shopping this morning for assorted things: cat food, cyan and magenta toner cartridges, a USB adaptor cable, a cleaning brush that will fit into my olive oil bottle. In the afternoon I set up my new iMac. Tomorrow, I might go to the farmers' market in the morning, and that's as far as I've planned ahead.
19. Would you rather have all your meals prepared for you, but not have any say in the menu (outside of certain dietary restrictions e.g. allergies), or sleep eight hours every night, but not get to choose your bedtime?
How are either of these things ever going to happen, unless I end up in some sort of prison? I suppose I'd choose the food one; it might mean I've hired a personal chef.
