a Gorey cat to accompany an Xmas survey

Gift card or actual gift?
Really and truly? Whatever is easiest for you.

A personal gift item for you or something for your house?
Yes.

Costco or Sams?
I am no longer a member of these exclusive clubs. So I shall say: Target.

Coke or Pepsi?
Rum & coke, if you will.

This one is just for Marie….A shot of tequila or a mojito?
I'll answer this one anyway. A mojito. I think.

Do you like to go to the movies or do you like to stay home and watch movies?
Ugh. Neither. Nothing is tickling my fancy these days in the movie department. Except maybe the TMC channel on cable.

Do you enjoy cooking or going out to eat?
Trader Joe makes my dinner.

Favorite store(s) Sephora & Target & Trader Joe's. I spend obscene amounts of time at these places. It's bordering on the obsessive.

Favorite restaurant(s) Momotaro in Burbank, IHOP for the crepes and Saigon Noodle in Pasadena for the BEST spring rolls in the world!

Favorite place to get gas Any place that serves beans.

Favorite snacks Ummm.. Pistachios? But they are so fatty, huh?
:( Cheese. Sometimes brownies from 7-11. Mostly salty things. Ooooh! These olive oil and sea salt potato chips by Terra called Red Bliss.

What is the funnest place you have recently gone to and would you like to go
again? Is funnest a real word? Recently... I'll say the Paris hotel in Vegas. I like pretending I'm a brooding Parisian art student sketching nudes by the Place De La Concorde fountain. Hmm.. Which reminds me, I should post some of those pics!!

If you haven't had any fun lately, what would be a place you would like to go to?
Overseas travel. Just about anywhere, except the Middle East or the Philippines.

What is the best Christmas gift you ever got? I appreciate just about everything I get. Except clothes that are too big or too small, and I have no idea where I can return them to.

What is the worst? Ha! I once received a little basket filled with brown Easter grass, that held three porcelain figurines. One was a cross, another an angel, and the third a little boy praying and on the bottom of that last figurine were the words "Alejandro Baptismo, 1998" written in black permanent marker. I couldn't stop laughing for days!
This was from the same person who a few years earlier had given my a bottle of Designer Imposter's Perfume of Jovan Citrus Musk. Which is like getting an imposter of an imposter!
I can't wait to see what I'll get this year :D


What do you reeeeaaallly hope to receive this Christmas?
In all materialistic honesty: Sirius satellite radio. Which I'm making dave look into for me. This will be a godsend at work. It will help me tune out all the crazy people, I can listen to Howard Stern, have commercial free, static free music at my desk. Right now I can only get the Mexican stations to come in clear.
