Friday Fives

1. Would you give up half of what you now own for a piill that would permanently change you so that one hour of sleep each day would fully refresh you?
Nah, I don’t think so. I am not that driven that I have to have extra hours each day. I like sleeping, I love my bed.

2. What is your preferred method of getting the news?
Web sites and the radio. And Channel 2 Morning news, because Tom Green is the most entertaining anchorman in Denver.

3. Would you rather . . . utter all exclamations during sex in sign language or in the form of a question as if on Jeopardy?
Well, you know my love of a good punch line – so Jeopardy it is.

4. After winning it big in Las Vegas, what do you do first?
An ultra expensive meal and the proverbial hookers and blow. I think for a weekend at least, I would live life like a rap video.

5. In case of a sudden emergency in the middle of the night – who do you call.
This is advice we all can use. In case of emergency, always call Julie. She automatically reverts to a triage mode and it is reassuring someone can keep their head about them.

  1. 1. As a noted insomniac (and renowned style icon and spiritual leader), I’d consider it. It would be one less thing to worry about, and there’s nothing that says I couldn’t sleep more if I didn’t feel the desire.

    2. Interweb primarily, as I am sitting in front of a computer 8 or so hours a day. I also read newspapers as time allows.

    3. What is, “OH FUCK YEAH, BABY!!” I’ll go with the Jeopardy phraseology. The sign language brings back ugly memories from my love scene with Marlee Matlin in the indie drama, “Stop Signs.”

    4. Take me to the Forum Shops where I can start blowing tons of cash on happiness (sweaters and wristwatches). [BTW: I can’t imagine Roy the hip-hop mogul. . .he’s just TOO white. .. but I digress]

    5. As a hypochondriac, I’ve learned that most of my middle-of-the-night “emergencies” aren’t really emergencies. Thus, Ask-a-Nurse has been my go-to info source. The last time I had a true middle of the night emergency, I believe I called you.

  2. 1. Would you give up half of what you now own for a pill that would permanently change you so that one hour of sleep each day would fully refresh you?

    Absolutely. Think how quick I could earn back the most important stuff, and better myself after that. See, I can’t really function with anything less than 8 hours. It’s kinda sad, so if I could I would.

    2. What is your preferred method of getting the news?

    I check CNN.com throughout the day. I don’t want to hear huge news from someone else. I want to get as many facts as I can to frame my own opinion before any kind of discussion goes on.

    3. Would you rather . . . utter all exclamations during sex in sign language or in the form of a question as if on Jeopardy?

    what is… the second option (get it?)

    4. After winning it big in Las Vegas, what do you do first? have a drink, then take a shower and a nap to center myself. Now, room service and lots of it. I want 300 shrimp scampi, and way more booze. Now, let’s go see a show!

    5. In case of a sudden emergency in the middle of the night – who do you call.

    Me! I am your emergency guy, and I am the emergency guy the Red Cross calls as well. Plus, I have a behemouth truck and all kinds of car rescue stuff. So, I would call myself. If that were not an option (I am often very busy, see) it would be my buddy Arne for sure. Dude spent 22 years in the service, so he makes my preparedness look like a puke stain sammich.

  3. !) No. I like sleeping & due to an ongoing bout of insomnia, find I feel refreshed on 4 hours of sleep already.

    @) I read the Information-Super-Highway-Of-Lost-Souls. Although coming up from the subway, there’s almost always someone grunting at me & trying to shove a newspaper in my face. I find newspaper gross. They make my fingers ethnic.

    #) Sign language, definitely. It could get kinky so long as your partner likes pain & mine does so I could THWAP! BOOP! & SCHWING! him while uttering exclamations like Batman.

    $) I think the first thing I’d do is get the hell out of Vegas as it’s such a nasty place. Second I think I’d buy a luxury apartment in Manhattan somewhere. How big are my winnings?

    %) I call Thom because he sleeps right next to me. If he’s incapacitated or in the same predicament I’m in, I call my Mom & she usually says, “GO SOBER UP!”

  4. 1)Sleepy Good!
    2)Being there. internet
    3)What is Jeopardy!
    4)Play poker at one of the elite tables while wearing a flip flops and a speedo.
    5)They call me!

  5. 1) I would take the pill and then I would dance for 23 hours like it’s 1999.

    2) TV news, web, water cooler, People magazine.

    3) Shhh, it’s quiet time during sex. So sign as loud as you want.

    4) Pay off my debt…sad, but true. I am getting long in the tooth you know.

    5) Ghostbusters!
