Pivot Questions

over at asmallvictory in honor of bernard pivot's 70th birthday (i didn't know who he was either) it was suggested that people answer the infamous 10-questions typically posed by james lipton on actor's studio.

that sounds amusing enough...

  • What is your favorite word?
    while it can vary from time to time, if you were to bet on what my answer would be, i would highly recommend you pick either "kvetch" or "mishigas"
  • What is your least favorite word?
    i tend to be more put off by phrases, so picking a single word is tough because they aren't in context, but for the sake of this question i will answer "her".
  • What turns you on creatively, spiritually or emotionally?
    media -- music, pictures, video, and writing. they all allow for intimate personal expression.
  • What turns you off?
    close-mindedness. to quote aristotle -- "it is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it."
  • What is your favorite curse word?
    i tend to be traditional and will have to say "fuck".
  • What sound or noise do you love?
    there are voices/accents that i'm particularly fond of, but i'll go with a something non-human and say a slow running stream.
  • What sound or noise do you hate?
    the sounds of frustration and superiority.
  • What profession other than your own would you like to attempt?
    the smartass in me says i should answer "i want to drive the zamboni", but criminal law is something i could get into.
  • What profession would you not like to do?
    so many to avoid. food services, public relations, or anything else that requires too much ass kissing and interaction with people.
  • If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear God say when you arrive at the Pearly Gates?
    w00t!
