26. One Of These Days - Michelle Branch

In lieu of studying international law, I've made the sensible decision to do one of these question-answer Internet blog things. For the first time in my blogging history mind you, a history stretching back to the halcyon days of early 2004, moving onto the seedy mindsay times of 2005 and here, on my 26th and most insightful post ever. Ever. Until my 27th that is.

Unfortunately, I haven't been able to get my hands onto a suitable set of questions. But being the MacGyver of the Internets that I am, I've soldiered on and made up my own. So in essence, I'm having a little Q&A with myself; the less we consider the psychological implications of this the better methinks.

Anyway, time for me to sit in the hot seat...

Hello
Umm hi

What are you doing now?
I'm answering a question about what I'm doing now, more precisely, I'm hitting keys on my keyboard.

Favourite colour?
Blue

Favourite colour M&M?
Red

What are you drinking?
A nice glass of Brown Brothers Mascato. A white wine of great varietal character

And that means what exactly?
Its wine, I drink it.

What are you listening to now?
One of These Days by Michelle Branch

Why?
I heard that latest song by the Veronicas in the car before, and I realised that that’s what you get if you got Michelle Branch and split her in half. And then I had an urge to listen to Michelle Branch. It all makes sense in my head.

What are you reading?
'Kafka on the Shore' by Haruki Murakami and 'Strychnine Lives', the latest 100 Bullets trade

What are you watching?
New season of Arrested Development in 45 minutes, too much West Wing, a bit of Black Books and I've actually just got the first season of Little Britain from a friend. A bit uncertain about it, but I've been assured that its comedy gold.

When have you had to lead a team, and how did you do it?
Hmm this requires some S.T.A.R. analysis huh? Let me see..
One time I was recruited into a rag-tag team of ruffians and given the task to lead the group to rob a casino. As I've never met these people before, and I was quite certain that some of them were convicted felons with a dangerous disregard of authority, I knew that I had to adapt my leadership style to suit the circumstances. First thing i did was get a slab of beer and get the guys reasonably drunk. Then I got some hobo off the street and broke his arm with a crowbar to demonstrate that I wasn't to be messed with. Luckily, I only had to kill one of them before they all got into line. Long story short, we managed to pull off on of the biggest diamond heists in the history of the world, made a major motion picture out of it, and I made a reasonable amount of cash as a result. And me and the boys are best of buddies.

When was the last time you wore women’s clothing in order to infiltrate a girls-only dorm?
Umm haven't done that before...should I have by now?

Why do you pretend to be someone you're not?
I'm not pretending. I'm not like that guy on that show about pretenders, I forgot what it was called…

Last time you got drunk?
Phillip Island last month. I was travelling fine with the beers, but then a detour into wine territory followed by random shots of liquor took its toll.

Last time you woke up and found yourself on an alien spacecraft?
Last Friday. It isn’t as exciting as it sounds, just a lot of random noises and the less we say about the probes, the better.

Last time you woke up before 8am?
December last year…and all the working stiffs out there get annoyed J

Anyway, I could go on, heaven knows I have…but I made a silly promise a few minutes ago to meet up with a friend at uni at 9am tomorrow. Oh well, guess I should try this ‘sleeping at a reasonable time’ thing, see if it fits.
