Some Questions
As asked to me by Ramirez.
1) Microsoft and Burger King are drowning in a lake. You can only save one. Which is it?!
Microsoft. They have the Millenium Cafe, which, in my experience, contains EVERY KIND OF FOOD IN THE WORLD, and thus XL bacon double cheeseburgers. But, they /also/ have every other kind of food in the world, so versatility win, and also waffles.
2) What was the first album you bought? Any story behind it?
It was Offspring's "Americana," and I bought it around age 11 because buying albums was something that everybody else my age did and I wanted to try and understand what they liked about it (which I failed to do). I bought that album in particular because I had to pick one and I think I'd heard a couple of songs from it that I thought were pretty OK. (IIRC, the second album I bought was South Park's "Chef Aid.")
3) What are the top 10 'most played' on your iTunes?
Ah, my iTunes numbers won't give much insight because I had to rebuild my library a couple of months back and all the counts got reset. The top track is 'See you on the other side' by BT, at 442 plays because I went away for a weekend and left it on 'repeat one;' then 'Ritual Noise' by Covenant at 181 plays; then Oxide, but we won't count that; then 'Libertango' by Astor Piazzola (141 plays), then 'Introduce a Little Anarchy,' from the Dark Knight soundtrack; then a whole-album-merged-to-one-track version of Apocalyptica's "Apocalyptica."
My last.fm stats might be more interesting:
1) Massive Attack - Teardrop (451 plays)
2) Radiohead - Dollars and Cents (396 plays)
3) Assemblage 23 - Document (Forma Tadre Remix) and Coldcut - Sound Mirrors (equal at 388 plays)
5) scarmani - droplet (385 plays)
which sounds about right for the entire time I've had last.fm wired up, as I think I erased the BT track from the listing. If I restrict it to just the last year, then it's apparently mostly been the Dark Knight soundtrack. Huh. I guess maybe I went away for a bit and left the album on repeat or something.
4) Sir! Your time machine is complete! When shall I set the timer to and what are we going to do?
What we are going to do is to order some mother fucking pizza, and then set the timer to the time when the pizza arrives, and then we are going to go there, and then we are going to EAT THE FUCK OUT OF THAT BITCH. Fuck, shit.
Actually, what I'd probably do is run a series of experiments around figuring out how to bring people from the past into the present without them going insane. It'd be cool to figure that out and then be able to get a bunch of great minds from the past all into the present so they can see what they paved the way for.
5) What's your zombie apocalypse plan? I'm assuming you're somewhere in Oxford when it starts.
As with all situations: first, secure the premises - check doors and windows, and grab myself a metal bar of some sort (got a towel rail that'd suffice). Second, intelligence - check internet, and call around to friends and family to see who's OK and to find out more about what we're dealing with, where/how many, etc. Third really kinda depends on second; but I don't plan on looting and raping before surrendering for consumption, if that's what you're asking. My plans would be more towards the 'rebuilding society' end.
I am your Ramirez now. I ask you to ask me to ask you some questions.
