Friday Fun!
Slim pickings on The Daily Meme today. This was the best I could do . . .
If you could have a free subscription to any magazine, which one would you like to have?
Vanity Fair. I mean, I read it anyway. Might as well get it for free.
If you were to suddenly become famous, what would you choose as your stage name?
I'd go by my own name, actually. And I'd measure how famous I really am by the number of people who don't say "Callahan."
What ingredients make an awesome salad? Dressing? Croutons?
I'm a fan of the kitchen-sink salad. As in "everything but the--" The more the merrier: Onions! Green peppers! Red peppers! Squash! Corn! Carrots! Crunchy things!
What do you like most about your current job?
On my first day back to work after the Christmas break, we got about 100 calls from people who wanted to donate money to the tsunami relief. The calls didn't stay at that rate, but I still get more than one a day. I like getting reminders that people are pretty good at heart.
Who is your favorite instrumental musician (not a singer)?
Oh, jeez, I don't know. Eileen Ivers, maybe? Does Timo Maas count a an instrumental musician?
Alright, guys, you're up!

1)I can't say that there is one magazine I would choose to receive free. I currently subscribe to Vanity Fair, thanks North, but I only ever have time to read about half of the entire issue. I am investigating other publications of interest.
2)I would like to be contrary at this point in time. I like to think that I am going to be famous based of something phenomenal that I do, not because I can act.
3)Salads are best with a few "WOW" factor items. Mixed Greens with Gorgonzola Cheese, pine nuts and raspberry vinaigrette for example.
4)The fact that I am doing exactly the job I want and not settling for second best! Oh and the fantastic view out my window. "Hello Lady Liberty"
5)Joe Satriani is this phenomenal guitarist that a neighbor at Disney World listened to. I haven't bought any of his stuff yet, but I loved listening to that neighbor's cd's.

NJ.
Being "contrary."
Eeeeeeeeeeeemagine that.

1) The New Yorker, especially because it's a pricey weekly.
2) Hmm. All the names I've come up with so far sound like 1940's burlesque showgirls. I'd use my real name, including my middle name, which is what I use when I'm publishing articles.
3) Bill and I have discovered that we can buy a head of lettuce and then cruise the salad bar at Kowalski's for our favorite stuff. I like cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, beets, artichokes, carrots--I'm spring/summer salad kinda girl.
4) Since I'm currently debating a career change, this one is a little tough ... I like wearing jeans to work, and the coffee is really good. My job makes me feel smart (if crazy). I like (all but one) of my coworkers a lot, and I really respect them.
5) Does Leo Kottke count? He also sings, but I like his instrumental stuff back. I saw him in concert when I was 16 or so with my dad, and he managed to tell the funniest and the saddest stories I've ever heard to date in a two-hour stretch.

1. Sports Illustrated, for the same reason as Annie. Failing that, I think either BGI or Irish Eyes. I'd like to read them, but not badly enough to pay for them...
2. I don't know. I know I can't use my real name, since it is too "played out". I don't want to use my full name, because among men, only pretentious guys, serial killers, Rednecks, and John Wayne Bobbitt use three names. I guess I'd go with Flip, but more likely I'd just hope the press corps would give me a cool nickname.
3. Bacon. Bacon makes practically everything better. Actually, you need crunchy to improve salad. And something else mayo-like. But mostly crunchy.
4. How many seasons has L&O been on? Something about it must be interesting. It's my REAL LIFE. I see more that you wouldn't believe in a week...
5. Alison Brown - Now that'sa mighty fine a-pickin' and a-singing... And she picks while others sing. A leader in the Banjo jazz-fusion scene, she can also play bluegrass. It's good stuff.
Flip
currently trying to figure out what's going to happen in the next two weeks, and still addicted to NFL Street 2.
Today, I make my virginal blogging! You should feel honored. Now . . .
1) Sports Illustrated: I have to concur with Flip. Other than Rolling Stone (to which I already have a lifetime subscription), it's the only magazine I read cover to cover
2)If I was feeling pretentious, I think I would try J. Christian Ynclan. Let's see how far that would get me. Hell, I could probably run for office with a name like that, but I'd have to attone by kicking my ass daily.
3)Anything which renders the salad far less healthy. Bacon, Ham, Cheese, Crumbled hard-boiled egg, Ranch, etc.
4)I love that I can set my own schedule. Also, I work with college kids, who have the most amazing optimism and energy.
5)This is a tough one, because I really appreciate songwriting . . . I would have to say Miles Davis. Kind of Blue rocks my socks off!
Enjoy!

Not to say "I told you so," but, well, I did tell you so!
