BigToe Checking In For Duty

[BigToe]

What song best fits your mood right now?

Bleach by Easyworld. Basically the chorus is:


You make me want to drink bleach
You make me want to bite stars
Though you're losing yourself
Still I know who you are

And while I feel like neither drinking bleach or biting stars and the lyrics aren't in any way reflective of my mood, it is a mellow yet rock out song that makes me smile in a silly little way. I'm in that silly little mood.

If you had to rename Australia, what would its new name be?

Erin Isle which would eventually be shortened to sound like Erinile.

 

[BigToe]

What's your favorite color?

Blue. Specifically a not quite baby/powder blue. That or the pretty shade the sky gets in the evening right before it turns dark. That color of the sky is love.

 

[BigToe]

Would you rather drink or eat?

Depends. Probably eat, because that's how you consume cheese.

 

[BigToe]

On a scale of 1 to 10, how dorky do you see yourself being?

7.87

 

[BigToe]

What other languages do you speak?

If you mean speak fluently, none. If you mean speak enough of that I could survive and get around well until I became fluent then Spanish and Italian.

 

[BigToe]

Are you worried about crime in New York?

No, per capita crime rate there is one of the lowest in the country.

 

[BigToe]

Fingers or toes?

both please.

 

[BigToe]

Should we have Raven make a crown for whoever gets their FTB thread split first?

No, because it isn't worth it to make only one crown, but we could just gift them with something silly.

 

[BigToe]

Is globalization a force for good or bad in the world?

Well I see it as both. With globalization we see people from so many different places and cultures able to open lines of communication and actually learn about each other. But then, we also get those lines of culture blurred to where some cultures end up being lost altogether.

 

[BigToe]

Have you ever gone to a renaissance fair?

Yes, we used to go regularly when I lived in Houston. Not as those who get into it with a character or anything. But we'd go and eat good food and play games and buy a bunch of junk we'd end up losing in the next month.

 

[BigToe]

What's the best TV show ever made?

You know, I think it will be very very difficult to ever top the first season of Lost. But as an entire series, I think it will be hard to beat Six Feet Under. It just had everything going for it. But the best show ever is by far Firefly.

 

[BigToe]

Should I change my UN flag to a Lebanon one?

That is entirely for you to decide.

 

[BigToe]

Have you ever seen Johnny Carson?

Reruns of it yes.

 

[BigToe]

Have you ever served on a jury?

No. I've been given the papers for jury duty once but since I was a full time college student, I got out of it.

 

[BigToe]

Did you ever consider a career in a completly diffeent area?

Yes, I consider it daily even.

 

[BigToe]

What book are you reding right now?

Reading Lolita in Tehran.

 

[BigToe]

If my feet are slightly cold should I grab a blanket or jut wiggle my toes more?

Get a blanket because that is good for snuggles.

 

[BigToe]

What's your favorite kind of flower?

tulips.

How do you tell the difference between bad writing, bad directing, and bad acting?

Well, if it is something that is based on the script that stinks, that would be bad writing. So the actual words spoken in the dialogue could be bad writing. If you have an actor that isn't believeable as a character for whatever reason and whose delivery is awful, that is bad acting (think Keanu Reeves). To tell if it is bad directing is harder because it depends a lot on the script, the actors and the director involved. A good director thinks about the editing process ahead of time and makes sure to get coverage of every scene to ensure that the editor will have choices to work with. But the director can also change things at the last minute about the dialogue or delivery that might make the script or acting seem bad when it is just the director.
