PromoGuy’s Monday Mission 2.31
1. Ever considered just deleting your Blog and not doing it anymore? What prompted that and what stopped you?
Without thinking about it I mentioned to our CTO that I had a site - gave him the URL - and then realized that he might actually read it [Fred, is that you? ] No point being self-concious about the spelling and grammar now ... thousands of people have read them already, what's one more?
2. How about a quick review of the last movie you saw?
Reign of Fire: Nice cameo appearances from 2 Star Trek actors - Alexander Siddig and Alice Krige. For those not in the know, that’s Julian Bashir (from Star Trek: Deep Space 9) and the Borg Queen (Star Trek: First Contact). The movie didnt suck as much as other dragon movies (can you say Dungeons and Dragons?) but it wont win any awards. The tension between the main characters was welcome, as was the tough gritty world they inhabit. It had a certain “Mad Max” (post apocalypse) feel to it. 6/10 overall.
3. What’s your favorite gadget? Are you lusting for any new ones? Will you ever be satisified???
Ummm. My Leatherman Wave I think.
4. What “table game” do you enjoy playing most with other people? Have you played it lately?
Settlers of Catan, with the “Knights and Cities” expansion pack is really good for filling a few hours.
5. Have you ever been obsessed with something so much that it was close to causing you physical or mental harm? If not, have you known anyone else who has?
Pass, dont think I obsess, or anyone I know does.
6. Did you grow up in a family or community that displayed racist or prejudice attitudes? Did it influence you in any way, either toward or away from those views? How did you manage to avoid it, or did you?
We lived in East London for a few years, in the early 80’s. If you had the wrong colour skin, and walked down the wrong side of certain streets, you could reasonably expect to having the living daylights knocked out of you. Children of age 10 or so would be involved in gang-style violence and when we left the area it was starting to be fashionable to carry a knife in the bottom of your school bag. Nasty.
7. Good grief, I am starving! You got anything to eat around here?
I was thinking that myself. Vending machine here I come!
