Five questions for you:
1) I have known you to sing and to quilt. What other creative things do you do of which I'm unaware?
well, i think you've seen a bit of my embroidery. i like to paint miniatures; someday when C organizes the paint table i will finish my Warmachine army and post pictures. i knit occasionally (i think it's pretty boring). i go through fits of drawing. i've made masks. does theatrical makeup count (not enough opportunities for that one)? my mom is holding the materials for my next braided rug if i ever live somewhere with space for it...
2) Top five favorite actors? Reasons for those choices?
oof. this is hard. i tend to follow creators more than actors; i'm more likely to see a film or play for a writer, director, or producer than an actor. i've been fighting to identify people for talent rather than being aesthetically pleasing.
3) How do you feel about snakes?
relatively neutral. i like to watch them at the zoo, and i've enjoyed the opportunities i've had to handle constrictors. i like to watch them eat and i like the way they feel. i think they're biologically interesting and i've considered having one as a pet. i have no problem with covering things in their skin. i do not like poisonous ones, nor would i deal well with an unexpected snake appearance in my house.
4) What's the last book you read and what'd you think about it?
Lamb: the Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal. it was okay. it was funny enough and i have no blasphemy issues, there's just something about it. could be that telling the story of a sidekick is inherently flawed, or it could be that Moore's style reads more like a screenplay than a book. um, surface-y was the first descriptor i came up with when C asked about it. i did laugh aloud several times. it's got a respectful quality to it, kind of like Dogma, that i appreciate.
5) Favorite sound?
my name, in the right context. it's a memory i like to keep.

- Harrison Ford. he's not a really good actor, but i have a hardwired crush on him. Indiana Jones makes me all melty. especially in the glasses.
- Judi Dench. this is mostly based on seeing film of her stage performances in college. best. Lady M. evar.
- Christopher Lloyd. the man is a perfect chameleon.
- J. Geddeth Smith. his Buks/Author in Valley Song could still move me to tears after months of rehearsal and performances. he made me willing to sit through Cobb. oh, and he's a consummate professional, a perfect gentleman, and tells brilliant stories.
- Tilda Swinton. i just think she's hot, and i've seen her be a man, an angel, a housewife, and a queen. i don't know if i want to be her or do her or both.
