The five
questions that every lame motherfucker in the universe answers on Friday
and if you answer them you might as well get a livejournal account and put
up some clip art of cats:
- What did you have for breakfast this morning? I had a
peanut butter and jelly sandwich, half of another one (that is, the same
amount of peanut butter and jelly but on one piece of bread, folded
over), a dill pickle and a glass of iced tea. Shut up, and don't you
judge me. I've known since I was a little Harold that pickles go well
with peanut better and jelly, and you'd know it too if you'd just come
down off your snooty high horse and try it.
- What's your favorite
cereal? I don't eat cereal, as a rule. It's such a drab, joyless food, and
it never seems to fill me up. That said, though, and with no other food
options available, I will eat a bowl of frosted flakes. But I won't get
too excited about it.
- How often do you eat out? Do you want that to
change? Well, it all depends on what you mean by eating out. Several times a
week I'll run to Taco Bell and grab a burrito for lunch, but I hardly
call that eating out. Now, the Wife and I will get take-out for dinner
once or twice a week, and I do consider that eating out. And we usually
go out for breakfast once or twice on the weekend, so you can do the
math on all that. And why would I want that to change? Shortly after I
got married I remember reading an article in Reader's Digest about some
sort of young woman on welfare who squandered her money on "store-bought
clothes and restaurant meals." She ended up a hooker. I was worried
about that the rest of college, but now I know it doesn't matter. You
gotta eat, and you usually have to pay for it.
- What do you plan on having for dinner tonight? Sonya
and I are driving to Memphis tonight. The standard food on this trip is
Krystal burgers at the combination Exxon/Krystal in Gluckstadt,
Mississippi. I ate a bunch of pizza at lunch, though, so I might not
want any Krystals. Especially since I'll be driving. Sonya usually
drives to Gluckstadt, and I drive the rest of the way to Memphis. I find
I don't get so sleepy when I'm hungry. So the short answer is
- What's your favorite restaurant? Gosh, that's a hard one.
That's like, "what's your favorite song?" This summer when we were in
New York Sonya and Kent and James and I were starving and in desperate
need of something cheap;
Siobhan
recommended Dojo and we ate the hell out of some burgers and hummus. It
was wonderful. And one summer when I was in college Sonya and I were
home for a weekend and my whole family got a table for, like, twenty or
something at the Rendezvous and we ate ribs and drank beer for hours and
that was a great fucking meal. For our tenth anniversary Sonya and I
went to Delmonico; I've never been catered to by my own staff before and
I think I deserve it, plus the food was some of the best I've ever
eaten. But hell, if you're really hungry a quarter pounder tastes like
heaven, so it depends.
