What it has come to
The most observant among you will have noticed that I haven’t posted much lately. Rather than make excuses, I’m making solutions.
Tumblr has this fancy ask feature, that you might not know about. Back last year, when everyone was asking and answering for the first time, I wasn’t ready. I wanted my first ask response to be special. I didn’t want to be one of those people who goes around answering just any question asked of them. But I’m getting old, and it seems like it could be fun, and it’s time to get this show on the road. To get you started, here are a few questions I can answer:
- How much The-Dream have you been listening to lately? I’ve been listening to so much The-Dream lately. Love Vs. Money over and over and over. I almost scraped by last.fm profile so that I could create a line graph of how my The-Dream listening has changed over the last few months, but I was too lazy and I also worry about overquantifying my life.
- What was the score of the last game of Scrabble you played? 363-168. Although I was keeping score and my arithmetic isn’t the sharpest. People think that because I’m sort of a math person that I should be particularly good at basic computations, but the truth is that I wasn’t quizzed on long division or my times tables once during college, and even my addition is unreliable. I had 363.
- Have you watched every episode of Make It or Break It recently? Indeed I have. And while it won’t go into my list of tv shows I tell everyone all the time that they need to watch, when they get around to actually competing, the show is ridiculously fun. Also, a few times a season, there will be just amazingly blatant product placement, which I enjoy a great deal. Yesterday’s episode was kinda horrible though.
- What do you order every time you get breakfast from McDonald’s? Sausage Biscuit and two Hash Browns for $3. I try not to do it more than every two weeks or so. On rare occasions, I only do one Hash Brown instead of two. Once, I did two Sausage Biscuits and one Hash Brown.
- Does the use of “must” in a sentence necessarily indicate a lack of certainty compared with the same sentence without “must”? No it doesn’t. There are some things at play that could convince someone that it did. But, it doesn’t.
So, ask away. Hopefully I’ll be back to coming up with my own ideas shortly, but it’s hard to say when.
