Why are you loyal to certain brands/stores? What keeps you coming back?
Sponsored by Microsoft Small Business.
I've stuck to Skechers brand shoes for a long time. I know how they fit on me (most of the time) and so it's fairly easy for me to shop there.
What other brands... hmm... I've stuck by Lesportsac for the past couple of years. I like the Tokidoki line and the old L.A.M.B. line. Tokidoki was the most I have ever spent on a purse. I'm not really into the really expensive ones, like Coach or LV or DB. they just don't have anything I like. and I don't really want to spend more than $200 on a purse (and the size of purse I like would cost more than $200 with those brands).
For computer crap, we've stuck to AMD instead of Intel. For more details on this, you're better off talking with Mike. I go with what he says for computers.
One thing is for sure... I won't drink Starbucks Coffee. If I'm there, I will buy their Tazo brand tea. Their coffee really, really sucks.
What’s a simple thing you could do to save money, but are unwilling (or unable) to put to practice?
Sponsored by Microsoft Small Business.
I suppose if I stop eating out so much (and stick to cheaply made home meals like sandwiches, soups, etc.), it would save quite a bit of money. or if I stop going out with friends. or if I stop taking film photos. or if I switch to a plastic-bottle vodka. or if I don't go to the gym anymore. or if I stop playing with the community band (there's a suggested $2 donation per rehearsal to keep down the cost of renting the rehearsal space). or if I stop driving.
like that's gonna happen.
Who was your first celebrity crush?
Submitted by Glory.
Maybe Johnny Depp from 21 Jump Street. It wasn't a crazy crush like the usual screamy-jumpy-hyper teenie bopper.
So, I guess my first real celebrity crush would be David Boreanaz on Angel.
Dark, brooding vampire with a soul. and witty, too. What's not to like?
Some companies are trying out a new four day work week. Is this something you would like to see your company try out?
I think this would work well for construction companies. It would be more like 7-5 rather than the title's "Working 8 to 6" statement. I would love to work longer days and have more days off.
What T.V. series are you looking forward to starting back up in the fall?
No more fall episodes... Doctor Who will have a Christmas special, and then start up what... May? Torchwood is not scheduled to start until Spring, I think. booooooooo.
What three qualities do you look for in a partner?
Submitted by Tenor Bob
Does Tenor Bob work for eHarmony? seriously.. this sounds like a commercial.
If you could go on a summer tour with one band, which one would it be?
Queens of the Stone Age. no doubt about it. Sure, TOOL or LiVE would be great, too, but I've seen them a few times now. I haven't had a chance to see QotSA yet. It's on the Top Ten Things To Do Before I Die List.
okay, maybe Top Twenty.
What do you think about airlines charging for your second bag? Will this change the way you pack?
Well, it's gonna cause problems when Mike wants to build a new computer the next time we hit Fry's. We'll definitely have to pack differently.
Some airlines charge for the FIRST piece of luggage. That's insane! so yeah... less clothes, more visits to the laundry room.
On whom do you have your most embarrassing/scariest crush?
Submitted by Jillzey.
I plead the fifth.
Well, there's always Captain Jack Harkness, but I'm not too embarrassed about that one.
If you were in control of your country's budget, how would you allocate the money?
As cruel as this may sound... I think our country needs to stop putting so much money toward fixing OTHER COUNTRIES and try to fix OUR OWN. It's great to try and look like a saint-like humanitarian World Power... but if the rest of the world also sees how poorly said World Power is handling its own people and problems... does it make it better?
Maybe I don't know enough about the details of these things, but yeah... I would start with putting a big limit to what money we send out to the "aid" of others, and try to fix our crap first.
