I hate writing and posting meme's.  They seem pointless and bandwidth gobbling.  BUT just to prove [livejournal.com profile] squalidbear wrong, I'm going to do one...

Meme rules:

A. People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blog and replace any question that they dislike with a new, original question.

B. Tag eight people (SEE BELOW!). Don't refuse to do that. Don't tag who tagged you.

20 Questions

01: What are your nick-names?
Rick/Rich/Richard; The Hemorrhoid, Spondulix (my father's nickname for me... and you wonder why I turned gay?).  With greater frequency of late - Daddy/Sir  (which make me laugh).

02: What facial hair are you sporting right now?
A tastefully graying beard which has appeared in varying forms since I was 25 and long before I self-identified as a bear.

03:What's new in your life right now?
Logitech Squeezebox internet radio.  My technogeek's card is secure.

04: How many colors are you wearing right now?
Three.  Typical Business Casual - Shirt is red with a small white windowpane check; charcoal slacks.

05: Are you an introvert or an extrovert?
95% Introvert, 5% Ethel Merman

06: What was the last book you read?
Michael Tolliver Lives - Armistead Maupin

07: Do you daydream a lot?
Yes. Life is a daydream.  It's reality that's the nightmare.

08: What's the weather like now?
72 degrees and sunny.  Oh, if you mean OUTSIDE my office?  It's also 72 degrees and sunny.  Damn boring San Diego weather!

09: Is there anything that has made you unhappy these days?
The holidays well and truly stank on many levels.  Not having a vacation planned.

10: Tell me something really odd about you.
Ringing bells (eg: telephone) bother the heck out of me.  I jump every time.

11: How long does it actually take to get ready in the morning?
45 minutes including 5-15 minutes of 'zone' time.

12: What websites do you visit daily?
LJ, selected news sites, CNET, amazon.devil, and a couple of bear chat sites.

13: What are your favorite iPhone Apps currently?
I've not yet gone AppHappy.  I did download Melodis Dialer, a really neat and free voice dialer.  I'm still looking for a listing of "must have" apps that resonates with my needs.

14: Do you like to clean?
You mean there are people who like to clean??  But, I enjoy having a tidy home and resist the invasion of a cleaning person.  So, yes, I clean and grumble, clean and grumble...

15: What was the last song stuck in your head?
I seem to have been obsessed with the score from Billy Elliott, a show two wonderful friends ([livejournal.com profile] cuboz that includes you!) gifted me a ticket while I was on vacation in Sydney.  Elton John lives!

16: What's the last movie you saw?
The Big Chill on TCM at home last night.  In the theaters, the last was The Curious Case of Benjamin Button which I liked but not loved.  I've also recently seen and adored Milk, Doubt, and Frost/Nixon, three very different movies that each deserve much more recognition than they seem to be receiving.

17: What hobby would you like to take up if money/time/ability were no obstacle?
Travel would certainly rank first on the list.  Of late, I seem to have this itch to learn to ride a motorcycle and own something that doesn't make me look too silly.

18: What is one of your favorite lyrics in a song ever?
It's a toss up amongst 2 or 3 songs but "Somewhere" from West Side Story came to mind first:

There's a place for us,
Somewhere a place for us.
Peace and quiet and open air
Wait for us
Somewhere.

There's a time for us,
Some day a time for us,
Time together with time to spare,
Time to look, time to care,
Some day!

Somewhere.
We'll find a new way of living, Somewhere.
We'll find a new way of living,

We'll find a way of forgiving
Somewhere . . .

There's a place for us,
A time and place for us.
Hold my hand and we're halfway there.
Hold my hand and I'll take you there
Somehow,
Some day,
Somewhere!


19: What states or other places do you wish to visit in 2009?
New York City (again), the UK, and for reasons I can't quite explain, Hungary

20: What are you most looking forward to in the next month?
A return to life's little routines that seem to have been absent over the past couple of months.

I don't think I have eight folk that I'd want to inflict another meme on but there are a few who's posts I always enjoy...  [livejournal.com profile] capy, [livejournal.com profile] simbobloke, [livejournal.com profile] mrdreamjeans, [livejournal.com profile] bearfuz, and [livejournal.com profile] hotelbearsf[livejournal.com profile] cuboz and [livejournal.com profile] excessor would have been on the list had they not already been tagged.

Nyah, nyah, [livejournal.com profile] squalidbear, I did it!
