    Good LORD. This one is perverse. But if there is one man who will rise to a perverse challenge, it is I.

    Jon Stewart. We do love the Steven Colbert, though, I just fall asleep more often watching him.

    Thai food. Sushi is a rare craving. Thai is constant.

    Magazines.

    Hockey. Though I mostly have to follow it using the power of my imagination, and remembering the shouts of the Canucks fans I sat next to at the playoff game last year.

    Coffee or fruit smoothie? Are you serious? These questions are supposed to be hard.

    Food Network. Though really, all that does is make me hungry.

    Sephora or MAC Cosmetics. All I will say about this is that the women who work in MAC stores look like hookers from 1982. And believe you me. I know my ’80s hookers. I was a very precocious 10 year old.

    Williams-Sonoma or Crate and Barrel? Hm. Probably Crate and Barrel.

    Starbucks or anywhere else? I like anywhere else. But I sure as hell am not proud. Whoever gives me a good fruit smoothie, you know?

    If “weird indie” and “Hollywood romance” are the only two choices, I’ll take Hollywood romance. You only have to see Eraserhead once.

    John Legend. But I have to say, I LOVE that you know both of their ages and birthday months and can bring this knowledge to bear in a defense of your man Justin, and whether or not he is a boy.

    Fresh flowers or candles? Both awesome. But Flowers.

    Vancouver or San Diego? Both awesome. But Vancouver (duh).

    Pomegranate or grapefruit? To eat or to use as a weapon?

    David Sedaris or Calvin Trillin? Calvin Trillin’s name is more fun to say. David Sedaris is speaking here on Halloween.

    Long hair or short hair? Long.

    Road trip or fly there? Road trip once, then fly

    Sourdough or multigrain? Sourdough.

    Blogging or Facebooking? Haha… Facebook, lately.

    Sarah Richardson or Martha Stewart? I cannot stress enough how excited I am not to have an opinion on either of these people.

    Martin Scorsese or Steven Soderbergh? Scorsese.

    Jeans and bare feet or skirts and ballet flats? Jeans and bare feet, but that sort of depends on who’s wearing the skirts and ballet flats.
