Interview meme time again. Comment if you want to be questioned.
1. Why wear do you black?
(Johnny Cash, "the Man in Black")
Okay, that's not really remotely true.
(Morrisey, "Unloveable")
There was a time when that was true.
These days, it's a complicated combination of identification and filtering. I'm going to be weird no matter what I do - wearing black gives people something to point at. It puts off people I don't want to talk to, and catches the eye of people I do want to talk to.
2. What single fictional technological or magical device do you lust after?
After my dream a few days ago, 7 league boots - rapid transportation that still lets me get some exercise! I did some back of envelope calculations, and 7 leagues per stride gets me about 640 kph at a steady run, which is about half the speed of sound.
3. If you could ask an all-knowing being a single question, what would it be?
How can I love without pain?
4. If you could have a favourite artist or photographer do a picture of you, who would do it and what would the setting be?
Munch, maybe? Or Van Gogh? Something swirly and stark. I don't have the right face or body shape for a Giger work. "Favourite artist" is one of those things I have a hell of a time pinning down.
5. What should I have for dinner? (assume I'll go get ingredients)
Chicken curry with a yogurt sauce, mint-coriander raita, chana masala, vegetable curry, basmati rice and some naan analog (flatbread/"pizza shells" work well)!
1. Why wear do you black?
I wear the black for the poor and the beaten down,
Livin' in the hopeless, hungry side of town,
I wear it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime,
But is there because he's a victim of the times
(Johnny Cash, "the Man in Black")
Okay, that's not really remotely true.
I wear black on the outside because black is how I feel on the inside
