What’s on your Top 5 video games list?

Ha ha ha ha ha… Like I have that sort of hand-eye coör­di­na­tion! I don’t think I’ve played an actual video game since I had Colecovision.

What song best describes your cur­rent mood?

“This is a Shitty Day and I hate every­one.” Oh wait, that’s not a song.

OK. How about “Every deci­sion I make is a bad one.” Hm, also not a song.

I think this is lead­ing me towards some­thing totally unre­lated to the QotD–there’s are songs out there, demand­ing to be writ­ten. Back later–I have to go learn how to play the guitar.

What’s the most dras­tic change you’ve ever made to your appear­ance?

In 2003, I paid an ungodly sum for fancy Japan­ese straight­en­ing to my nat­u­rally curly/wavy hair. I loved it, and it def­i­nitely made me look less “me” than any­thing else I’ve done to my hair, even though I’ve done var­i­ous extreme cuts, color, etc. That’s the first thing that comes to mind, but the more obvi­ous answer is that I now weigh more than one hun­dred pounds less than I did for most of my adult life, which ren­ders me unrec­og­niz­able to peo­ple who knew me at the larger weight. Sort of nice when you don’t want to stop and chat.

After promis­ing myself (and the dog) that we would get our deserved 30 min­utes of exer­cise, I came home last night, changed into the appro­pri­ate clothes and got out­side. The weather’s been unsea­son­ably warm. I know, I know. Global warm­ing, we’re all gonna burn, but it was dark and still 75 or so. As we approached the park I could feel lit­tle cold spots, like the ones you feel in a poorly heated house (or, say, my home) but they were small. My lower body was fine and warm and then my arm would sud­denly get really, really cold.

OK, or maybe there are just ghosts in the park.
