08/13/2004 Entry: "MI-5, shotgun style"

This week, I'm taking the shotgun technique for the MI5. No, it's not about shotguns, silly. It's just five questions, but they're spread out; they're not about any one particular topic. Play along, won't you? Feel free to leave your answers in the comments section if you don't have your own website.

1. What 5 things are a "must have" in your refrigerator at any given time?
My fridge needs milk, butter, ketchup (for Susan), bacon, and a Brtia pitcher full of water. (We've really been going through the water lately. Susan's trying very hard to keep herself hydrated while she's breast feeding.)

2. What 4 books would you keep if the rest had to go?
I'd keep the Bible, a book I have of Chinese poems written in prose, Richard Brautigan's "Revenge of the Lawn," and my complete poems of Emily Dickenson.

3. You can only watch 3 TV shows for the rest of your life. What are they?
M*A*S*H, Tales of the Gun, and Good Eats for me.

4. If you could have 2 of your childhood toys back, what would you want?
For sentimental reasons, I'd like to have my Bugs Bunny drum set back. I also had this really great boat and undersea diorama that was really cool. It had this underwater backdrop, with the boat and a diver at the top. Then it had all these fish and sea creatures you could play with, pretending you were under water. I can't remember what it was called, though.

5. Most of us some kind of bad habit that we like--a vice of some sort. If you had to give all of yours up, what one would you keep?
I have two of these, really. I enjoy the occasional beer, and the even less occasional cigar. If I could only keep one, the cigars would have to go.
