QotD: What A Waste

nobody@vox.com(bex) — Mon, 08 Jan 2007 13:03:13 -0800

What's something you bought, knowing it was a total waste of money?

I have owned some remarkably adorable-but-impractical shoes. The most egregious examples have been sold on ebay, but only after having been worn a handful of times--and getting tons of compliments.

QotD: Heartbreaker

What's your favorite heartbreak song?
Submitted by esta86.

I could answer a question like this all day and then some.

"Mallo Cup" by the Lemonheads: Here I am outside your house at 3 am/Trying to think you out of bed

"Grudge Fuck" by the Scud Mountain Boys (yes, there is also a Pernice Brothers version of this song, fyi): I would give anything to make it with you just one more time/I'd give you everything I owned (hey, no one said this shit was pretty)

"Let it Die" by Feist: The saddest part of a broken heart/Isn't the ending so much as the start

Give me another 30 minutes and I'll post another dozen.

What's on your Top 5 video games list?
Submitted by mileena.

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

QotD: Current Mood Music

What song best describes your current mood?
Submitted by Section31.

"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.

QotD: Total Transformation

What's the most drastic change you've ever made to your appearance?
Submitted by Laurie.

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.
