Friday Five
If you haven't seen it, the Friday Five is a series of 5 questions designed every week to give regular (or close to it) web writers some kind of frame to hang an entry on. So I'll give it a whirl. And yes, I will overanswer.
At this moment, what is your favorite...
1. ...song? It's kind of sad. I'd built up a pretty good mp3 collection on an auxiliary computer, but since I moved, that computer hasn't been exactly, well, working. I can probably somehow take the hard drive out and salvage the mp3s, but I haven't yet. And procrastinator me, who intended to back up all the files onto CDs in the event of just this sort of crisis, only made it partway. So I have everything from A3 ("Woke Up This Morning" - the Sopranos theme) to Cake on CD. But there are 23.8 letters still in limbo. Including "E" so no Elvis Costello. So when I was driving home from work late the other night, and I got to hear something I haven't heard in weeks, I realized that, at this moment, "Veronica" is my favorite song.
2. ...food? I go through phases where I find myself dying for a plate of pancakes. And Boston, unlike some other cities, is not a hotbed for 24-hour Denny's and IHOPs. But I got to Johnny's Luncheonette in Harvard Square the other day and devoured a short stack in a short lunch break. So pancakes.
3. ...tv show? As it was, as it is now, as it will ever be.
4. ...scent? The smell of a spring day in the city, when people cook outdoors, the trees bloom, and...wait. That's only in my imagination, since it's clear that spring will never come. So I'll continue the theme from Question 2 and say maple syrup.
5. ...quote? Right now, it's gotta be Nic Cage in Moonstruck. When he tales the sad tale of how he lost his hand in a bread-slicing mishap, and blames his brother for the injury and the ruination of his life, and Cher points out that it wasn't his brothers fault..."I don't care! I ain't no freaking monument to justice!" Classic stuff.
