"Number 13" by the Pixies
8. What did you do today?
Spent the morning in the library working on a query and rethinking the ending of the novel in question. Acted all supervisory during the early afternoon before I was informed I was supposed to be supervisory somewhere else. Oops.
9. What was the last text you received?
I aten't received any cos I aten't a texter.
10. What was the last item of new clothing your purchased?
A heather grey Carolina Chocolate Drops t-shirt featuring a jug plugged into an amp (purchased after Friday night's kick-ass show at the Jefferson in Cville.)
(for some reason this is also 10.) What websites do you always visit when you go online?
First thing in the morning, Slate.com (for Doonesbury). Then Facebook, BookBalloon.com, the Atlantic blogs of Ta-Nehisi Coates and Andrew Sullivan, LJ, and Yahoo.
11. What is your next big planned purchase?
Trip to the Pacific Northwest
12. If you could afford to go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
New Zealand, or possibly Australia, or possibly both.
13. Where do you see yourself in 5 years?
With a different job (and possibly a different career), fewer Things around the house, and a less rural location; the first and third will make spuffy very happy, the second less so.

Nowhere/Nowhere.
15. What are you doing this weekend?
Not working, for which !Yay! But I'm pretty sure I'll be watching the UNC-Duke game on Saturday night.
16. If you could play any musical instrument, which one would you play?
Jeez, this quiz assumes both that I DO text and that I DON'T play an instrument? I play guitar, piano, and synthesizer, and can get by on bass, harmonica, percussion, and a little dulcimer.
17. Where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
I've always assumed her base was in San Diego. Hide in plain sight and all that.
18. Are you a creeper?
What, held under the dorsal guiding feathers?
19. What is your dream job?
Writing either the Defenders for Marvel or The Legion of Super-Heroes for DC.
20. What's the last good movie you saw?
In the theater it would be The King's Speech, but at home it would be The Hangover, which we enjoyed with the Things on Saturday night.
21. Recommend a thing.
A terrific non-fiction book for those interested in science, medicine, history, race relations, or people in general: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks. Really, really excellent, this one.
