and her five questions to me:
1. You win a trip to Africa or South America. Which do you pick and what do you do?
Africa. Visit the ancient sites in Egypt and go on safari with a REALLY good camera.
2. What one artistic talent have you always wanted?
I'd like to be better trained in the ones I have. Thought I think sculpture or pottery could be fun.
3. The standard: stranded on a desert island, 5 books, 1 person, 1 non-book item. What do you pick?
Nonstandard answer: Any five volumes of something large and old enough to be bound in leather with sturdy cover boards in reasonably good condition, e.g., an out of date Encyclopedia Brittanica. The Samurai From The Outlands. A Leatherman multi-tool. The madness behind my method - The Samurai is not only good company, but he's got mad stuff-making skills to make McGyver look unimaginative. The encyclopedias are raw materials - or seating. But not for long, we're so off that island!
You were expecting maybe the collected works of J.K. Rowling, Russell Crowe and a can of Reddi Whip? Sheesh, I don't even like REAL whipped cream.
4. What literary character would you most like to meet?
If you mean fictional character, Steven Maturin from the series "Master and Commander" was based on. If you mean literary figure as in author, 10th century Japanese diarist Sei Shonagon.
5. Would you rather have a very long summer or a very long winter?
Summer, hands down.
