Leaving!

In half an hour, some friends from the troop will pick me up to go to the bus station from whence I will venture to Goshen.

One week from now*, I'll be riding the same bus back.

Later, folks! Farewell and adeiu, to ye fair Spanish ladies; farewell and adieu to ye ladies of Spain....


* Coincidentally, on my birthday.

Last-Minute Intermeme: Interview Me!

1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."
2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions.
3. You will update your LJ with the answers to the questions.
4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.
5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

1) Batman or Superman?
Oh, Batman, definitely. Superman would win in a fight, but that's because he's a Gary Stu. Batman doesn't even have superpowers – he's awesome. And he's comedy gold.

2) What's the worst online comic you ever read?
I don't remember. There was one particularly egregious one which someone linked once (I think it was Tailsteak, but I can't find the link) – it was a sprite comic, unsurprisingly.

3) Foucault and Derrida, and the rest of the French Postmodernists: worth looking into for their incisive deconstruction of modern thought, or mental masturbation for eggheads with no practical value?
Worth looking into because they're famous and people keep talking about them. Also, seeing as I'm an egghead with no practical value, I bet I'd enjoy reading them.

4) Someone left a cake out in the rain. WAS IT YOU?
I'm sorry – I just put it down for a second to unlock the door, and then someone asked me to look up something online, and then I checked my LJ friendspage, and I'm very, very, sorry.

5) Why is it that names of planets in science fiction movies, TV shows & books sound remarkably similar to names of prescription medications? (Example: "Captain, the planet Paxil dead ahead!" "Beam me down Mr. Scott, we must negotiate with the Crestor!")
Presumably, the people who name the planets in sci-fi movies are trying to come up with words that both have no definition and sound futuristic. Since the people who name prescription medications have the same two goals, they come up with similar names.
