If you were a character in Star Wars which one would you be, and why?
What is your favorite book?
If I were to walk up to you, hand you a sandwich, and tell you to eat it no questions asked, would you?
When you are buying underwear do you tend to gravitate towards a specific color?
If you could be a fly on the wall for any moment in history which moment would you choose?
That's all for now....but so, so many to come.
PFS! Are you coming to Roo? We need to hang!!!!!!!!!!!
If you were a character in Star Wars which one would you be, and why? Lando. Because Billy Dee!!!
What is your favorite book? East of Eden. God Steinbeck was brilliant.
If I were to walk up to you, hand you a sandwich, and tell you to eat it no questions asked, would you? If it is you. Yes. If it was someone else no.
When you are buying underwear do you tend to gravitate towards a specific color? Not really. I take my banana hammocks in all colors.
If you could be a fly on the wall for any moment in history which moment would you choose? Tough one. There's so much history I'd love to see I'm having trouble picking out a specific moment. I spent so much time studying Antonin Artaud in school, I might like to see his reaction when the Surrealists destroyed his production of A Dream Play. Probably not the most significant moment in history but something I spent 3 years reading about.
Two glasses sit on a table, one full one empty. Half of the contents of the full one is poured into the empty one. Which glass do you feel most confident in?
Can you think of an instance in which mixing peanut butter and chocolate would be a bad thing?
What would be the best pet animal to name Roy?
If you could be in two places at once during one day of Bonnaroo, which day would it be and why?
Where is somewhere that you have yet to travel to but would like to?
What is one food that everyone seems to like that you cannot stand?
What is your absolute favorite Disney show? Ugh, so hard. I love them all so much. Truth be told Nickelodeon does better shows when they make a great show, but Disney is more consistent in product. I always liked Wizards of Waverly Place if we're talking new school. Best of all time is probably Ducktales.
Where is somewhere that you have yet to travel to but would like to? I really want to rent a house for a couple of weeks on one of the islands off the coast of Sweden. Bergman's films always make it look so appealing.
What is one food that everyone seems to like that you cannot stand? Bacon. I dont get it.
chicojuarz, look at you answering questions & actually participating in your month as BMOTM. YAY!
What is your most essential appliance? Why?
Have you ever been skinnydipping? If so then tell us about it.
Who would you want to play you in a movie of your life? What would be the title of said movie?
If you could bankrupt one person or company who would it be?
What's the last movie you've cried at?
If you were captain of a ship, what would you call it? Why?
What is your most essential appliance? Why? My refrigerator. So my food doesnt rot.
Have you ever been skinnydipping? If so then tell us about it. I've probably been skinny dipping 100 times or more. My best friend in high school lived on a lake so we'd get drunk and go skinny dipping all the time. Swim to the other side and steal people's canoes and paddle boats. I also went skinny dipping in the big fountain at UofI. In Mexico. In the pool of my old apartment complex. During a party at a friend's house in the suburbs. When camping. Probably some others. I dont really have a problem with being naked in front of people.
Who would you want to play you in a movie of your life? What would be the title of said movie? Never really thought about it. I'd let John Leguizamo play me. He's hispanic not the greatest actor out there but I think he'd do a solid job. And it could be called Scum Sucking Ugly, which was what I wanted to name my theater company but I was overruled by my partner.
If you could bankrupt one person or company who would it be? Definitely never thought about this. Not certain I want to bankrupt anyone. I dont know that I could see the ripples that it could have.
What's the last movie you've cried at? I cry at everything. For real. Dear Santa, New World, Zero Dark Thirty. I'm sure there are others recently. I just get so happy and sad for characters.
If you were captain of a ship, what would you call it? Why? Horse Cock. because why not?
I just want to pop in and say (sorry rosko, im throwing you under the bus here) that I asked rosko if he'd be into BMOTM and he did say yes, prior to me announcing him. SO - Miss March does not apologize for nominating the most absent BMOTM in history. (I still lessthanthree you roskoooo)
Chico, whats the most beers you and Vlad have had at that tiny dive bar we went to that one time? when was the last time you changed your shower curtain liner? name your favorite and least favorite fruit, and explain why.

Assuming you had a time machine or the ability to bring people back to life, which concert would you prefer to see? The Doors, The Beatles, Elvis, or none of the above? And why?

Tell me about your most influential teacher/ professor
My most influential professor was Dr. Graves. When I went to college I was in the Chemical Engineering program and decided I hated it. I liked movies and found myself looking at the theater department. However, since I had no art background they didnt really want to let me in. Dr. Graves was the head of the department and only taught one class. It was technically an English class as well as a Theater class so I was able to take it as a non-major. The class focused on modern theater, essentially, European theater from the 1950s through the early 1980s.
I loved it. The work that was done during these periods broke so many artistic boundaries and, to me, kept showing up in literature and music through the 70s and 90s. As the head of the department, Dr. Graves was able to secure a spot for me and after my transfer even did an independent study with me. Typically, you would need to be a Phd candidate to work with him one on one like that. But he saw that I was interested in atypical theater. We spent the entire summer reading some of the most violent plays ever written. It was extremely intense, but it tied back to my interest in Antonin Artaud and violence in theater, film, music etc. He could remember page numbers for things he'd read 20 years prior. We didnt just spend time in the plays, but also went further into the theories. Theater of Cruelty, Theater of the Absurd, Grotowski, Boal, Meyerhold. Huge ideas about physical performance, not talking heads. Theater of action and movement. The man was brilliant and he made theater a laboratory for me (there was after all a reason I went into science). I got to spend the next two years experimenting with the ideas I learned from him that first year. And though I dont currently practice, the way I think and everything I do is influenced by that time.

Two glasses sit on a table, one full one empty. Half of the contents of the full one is poured into the empty one. Which glass do you feel most confident in? I'm most confident in the glass with the least liquid splatter.
Can you think of an instance in which mixing peanut butter and chocolate would be a bad thing? When it's mixed with mac n cheese.
What would be the best pet animal to name Roy? A miniature designer elephant.
If you could be in two places at once during one day of Bonnaroo, which day would it be and why? In the shade and at a show all day Saturday. Because it would be refreshing, but I like the conflicts and missing things. Makes you want to come back for more later.

Chico, whats the most beers you and Vlad have had at that tiny dive bar we went to that one time? when was the last time you changed your shower curtain liner? name your favorite and least favorite fruit, and explain why.
whats the most beers you and Vlad have had at that tiny dive bar we went to that one time? Not that many Vlad doesnt drink really and we have to pay there. We have more drinks when we know the bartender.
when was the last time you changed your shower curtain liner? 14 months ago next week. How often should that be changed? I think it's probably time.
name your favorite and least favorite fruit, and explain why. My favorite is pineapple. Because it's so good on pizza(not Chicago style, thin crust) Not certain I have a least favorite. Probably anything inconvenient. Honey dew is usually pretty terrible, but that's just the quality of the fruit I usually find I actually like it a lot if I get a good one. Maybe crabapples?
Yes, I am going to roo this year, and we should most definitely hang out!

Your favorite Disney Princess?
I lost all my numbers. You'll need to PM yours to me again.
If you could be any animal what would you be? I have an odd obsession with sea creatures. On pinchy days I'd be a crab. On not pinchy days I'd be a sea turtle.
Assuming you had a time machine or the ability to bring people back to life, which concert would you prefer to see? The Doors, The Beatles, Elvis, or none of the above? And why? Elvis. Because I can still see Macca and I dont really care if I see The Doors.
I hold a bagel in one hand and a donut in the other, which would you prefer? Gimme the donut woman!
You are given the option of a lifetimes worth of "no strings attatched" airfare anywhere in the world or the power of invisibility. Which would you choose? airfare. there are enough movies to teach us that invisibility is a double edged sword.

What was the best vacation you ever took? Beirut. I loved it. I'd move there. I want to go back in the next couple of years.
Did you prefer Organic or Inorganic Chemistry? Inorganic. It was always simpler and made prettier colors and stuff. EDIT: Unless you're going to make me retake Quantitative Analysis. Then I just fucking hate you.
Coke or Pepsi? Coke
What is your favorite Disney Park? I havent been to any in so long I dont really have a preference. I really really want to go to the Harry Potter park.
What was the first thing you bought with your own money?
What is your first memory of being really excited?
I think I became an adult around 31.
I miss spending all day outside all summer long.
I have no idea what I bought first. My first job was detasseling corn over the summer. I think I probably got a video game.
No idea what my first memory of being excited is. Probably when I got my first dog. The family had always had dogs but they were older than me or I didn't get to help pick. I was so excited and loved that dog.
It's 2:30 AM, you've stumbled drunk into your apartment/house/shack and need to eat. What are you cooking?
Who's your favourite muppet?
Any Roo regrets?
It's 2:30 AM, you've stumbled drunk into your apartment/house/shack and need to eat. What are you cooking? First I will stumble into the 7-11 on the corner and buy some terrible frozen pizza. Then I will fall asleep before cooking it.
Who's your favourite muppet? The old guys.
Any Roo regrets? I think it's a bit of a common theme but I was so unprepared my first year that I swear I missed all of the acts except Beck and Radiohead. I didnt know anyone who had ever gone. It was a whole different world than Lolla. Also, last time I went I lost my pants. I only wish I could remember where they were found. I dont think my friends do either.

What has been the best year of your life and why (if it's a tie, feel free to tell us about multiple years)? I'd say the last couple of years have been the best. A lot of things just started to come into place. My role at work changed, my personal life smoothed out a bit, I got to see more and more of the world.
Show us the cutest picture of your cat that you have. I actually dont take/keep pictures of my cat. I'll snapchat her but I dont really save any of them. I do have a funny one where I happened to catch her in the act of drinking out of the toilet. She looks really guilty, but it's hard copy.
