3. What do you do now that you would like to do as a kid?
3a. Why didn't you do it then?

1. Stay home and watch children's television.
2. I owe, I owe, so it's off to work I go.
3. I write novels, which 3a. I only tried to do as a child, in a sort of crayon-comics-in-the-margins kind of way. I was a graphic novellist from the earliest days.

3. Why don't you play more music?

1. If I listened to more music, it would be a dead lock that I'd never sleep. oh, wait...
2. I don't have the time or money to get out and hear bands as much as I used to, and my wife doesn't like noisy, crowded venues much, which takes away from the fun of small venues. We're going to see the Barenaked Ladies in a week or so. Meanwhile, I have a growing collection of live DVDs. I love my rock concerts.
3. Mainly because I wince at how rusty I've gotten, and I've never loved playing my instruments enough to want to hear bum notes over and over again without some short term goals and a bit of incentive, like band mates looking on and such. I'm a songwriter, not a true musician.

No, I think I understood you. I just think that most shows either slowly degrade or suddenly realize what they've been trying to do all along was wrong and make a major shift. Very rarely do I feel that a programme I've been watching avidly actually jumps the shark. Mind you, I am extremely selective about my TV...

3. How many really good friends do you have?

1. Agreeing with Squinky: caffeine. Without it, the motor doesn't run so good.
2. LOUD MUSIC!
3. My closest, dearest friends I can count on one hand. I'm in love with all of them.

2. Where do you think would be a good place for my band to tour?
3. How many acquaintances do you have?

1. My money's on you, but propriety demands I not explain myself in public.
2. ONTARIO!!!
3. I can probably count those on my fingers and toes, but I don't. It's teh close friends that I pay the most attention to.

3. What abstract concept is dearest to you?

My computer, followed by my iPod, my stereo and my Wii.
2. Ooooooo.... a trick question. I can't answer that and be fair to the small handful I love.
3. Creativity.
