9. FAVORITE COLOUR? I like blues and purples and pinks

10. LEAST FAVORITE COLOUR? yucky orange (there is nice orange too)

11. HOW MANY RINGS BEFORE YOU ANSWER THE PHONE? no more than four, because that's when the answering machine picks up. no one ever calls me anyway!

    4. Dead Like Me was awesome. I miss it. Mostly because of the cute irish guy. Okay, that was a comment, not a question.
    5. Re: Poop. You should watch Ze Frank's The Show (http://www.zefrank.com/theshow/) - wish I could remember which was the episode he kept saying poop. It was funny - trust me.

  4. answers for chandra:

    1. i am the only woman in a single-toilet office full of men, who clearly haven't figured out the effectiveness of the bathroom fan. i'm also convinced they've all taken up some crazy diet that makes the smell MUCH stronger, simply to piss me off. (i am outnumbered 8-1 on a good day.)

    2. i would LOVE to work for festival vancouver...only if it's the last week of august, as i have (willingly) signed away my soul to a production of CATS this summer. maybe next year?

    3. yes, seriously. the best part about that is in my stupour of this morning, i didn't even read your answers until after i had posted mine.

    4. I KNOW!

    5. har har! i watched what i could, but i will have to watch more when the nice (read: NOT USELESS)computer isn't occupied. i'm going to watch them all until i find the poop one.
