What or who is your favorite product mascot? Why?

well Bevo is not a mascot for a product so I can get away with not saying my school mascot...I wouldn't say bevo anyway as I am against the way out school treats him. They drug him with tranquilizers and then parade him around football games and steak dinners, anyone see the irony here?

anyway-rant aside, my favorite product mascot is the cookoo for coco puffs bird. I love him. And I love coco puffs, so I can't go wrong there I guess. Second is probably the trix rabbit.

If you could open any sort of restaurant, what would it be like?

I want to open a literature themed restraunt and the dishes would be like literary puns. because I am a loser like that. lol. Jason and I have actually talked many times about what our restraunt would be like. Plath patties would be oven roasted chicken and other stupid stuff like that.

Play any instrument or speak any language, which do you choose?
Question submitted by cruftbox.vox.com.

Speak any Language. Definately. That would be like the best ability in the world because I could read and translate all sorts of literature....yeah, I know...I'm a nerd. but yes...that is my choice. and then I could read finnegan's wake...because Joyce uses like a mix of all different languages in that novel and it is supposedly unreadable without knowing at least all of the romance languages.

So, first impression of Ulysess is good. I like Joyce's style though and I always thought I would enjoy it. I just put it off for so long because Jason's protestations were so adament. I don't know why. He used to love James Joyce. One day he woke up and decided he hated him. I for one love James Joyce and will continue to do so.

What was your favorite candy when you were a kid? How does that compare to now?

Twizzlers and pop rocks and anything gummy....the same definately applies for now. but mostly i like anything sugary sweet. candy is my coccaine.

ME: I want to borrow Ulysess

Jason: You won't get past page 100

M: Just because you didn't finish doesn't mean I won't

J: James Joyce is off his fucking rocker.

M: You are off your fucking rocker. I am off my fucking rocker...that's why we want to be writers, by principle all writers are off their fucking rockers

J: Yeah, well Joyce never had a rocker to begin with

M: was that a self contradiction? cuz if he is off his rocker that would imply that he in fact has a rocker to be off of...

-this conversation of course led to the challenge of me having to stop everything that I am doing and read Ulysess...therefore I must put Austen on hold for now....I can't wait to finish the novel just so I can proclaim that I am forever right and Jason is forever wrong.
