Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, find line 4. Write down what it says:
"Molto più forte del solito, tanto che mi venne il dubbio che la suola stesse davvero fondendo."
-La Fine de Mondo e il Paese Delle Meraviglie by Haruki Murakami (in Italian)
Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What do you touch first?
A very comfortable chair.
What is the last thing you watched on TV?
Italian soccer news.
With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?
Two small parrots that should be (but aren't) sleeping by now (probably because I'm typing).
When did you last step outside?
A few hours ago to walk around the neighborhood in Bolzano, Italy.
Before you came to this website, what did you look at?
Journalism.org
What are you wearing?
The same pants I've been wearing for days now and a shirt that I'm wearing only for the second time between washes. It still has a few more days left if I'm careful.
Did you dream last night?
If I did I don't remember it
When did you last laugh?
An hour or so ago over a nice bottle of Valpollacella (sp?) made less than 100km from here and while tasting a lot of unfamiliar liquors with two new friends.
What is on the walls of the room you are in?
A framed completed jigsaw puzzle of a unicorn jumping over a rainbow and some cool art posters that I don't recognize.
Seen anything weird lately?
A homeless person with a sign written in both the german and italian languages.
What is the last movie you saw?
Bridget Jones' Diary for the first time while in Munich last week. It was funny.
If you became a multi-millionaire overnight, what would you buy first?
A Smart car.
Tell me something about you that I don't know:
Olives are the only thing I can think of that I don't like to eat but I dig a good martini. Go figure.
If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do?
More people were interested in meeting and getting to know fun, friendly travelers and letting them stay in their home for a night or two.
Do you like to dance?
Not really.
Imagine your first child is a girl, what do you call her?
I've always liked the name Havana. Too weird? I probably won't have children anyway so it doesn't really matter.
Imagine your first child is a boy, what do you call him?
Fred Flint. If you know my last name this is funny. If you don't know it you can probably figure it out.
Would you ever consider living abroad?
Ha! I'm doing it right now.
I want to hear your answers so please comment!
