The Friday Five #20

21 03 2004

Seems like months since the questions were any good. Henceforth:

1. If you owned a restaurant, what kind of food would you serve?
I would serve many things, so lang as they were chicken-based. Well, to be fair, it’d probably be a traditional style carvery. It’d sell Turkey, Beef, and other roasted meats that are common to the carvery genre, and I’d have alternate dishes on hand, which would be plain. Not with mayonnaise. Not with a rich garlicky sauce. Not flame-grilled and glazed with honey. Plain, with ketchup to taste.

2. If you owned a small store, what kind of merchandise would you sell?
I believe I covered this not too long ago. Ideally, second hand and rare CDs/comics/dvds. It’d be clean and welcoming, not a horribly dusty pit of despair and geekery. In fact, it’s always have some music playing or something too, since it occurs to me nothing makes me more uncomfortable about shopping than the feeling the shop owner/clerk has nothing else to do but stare at me as I meander around.

3. If you wrote a book, what genre would it be?
Depends. I have loads of Sci-Fi ideas I’d like to one day do, but then again, writing genre fiction is practically a good way to kill a potential career. I’d prefer to start off with something a little more mainstream, really. Something like Douglas Coupland or Chuck Palahniuk. I’m not really sure what that genre would be classified as, but they’d be high-concept/existential human stories, probably with the emphasis on style over plot.

4. If you ran a school, what would you teach?
Freedom from ignorance.

5. If you recorded an album, what kind of music would be on it?
Well, I don’t know about you, but I’ve always wondered what I’d sound like recording free jazz. I’m sure it’s crossed all your minds before. To be honest, I prefer music to complement lyrics rather than to be the sole focus, so if I had the instrument AND vocal ability drive, I’d be aiming for something a bit in the Damian Rice/Aqualung area.
