Here are my answers to Kadie's questions:


Q1: What is the last book you read, or are currently reading?
I'm sorry to say I'm currently reading a thriller novel, just something to pass the time, nothing too amazing.  


Q2: What is your all time favorite movie and why?
Hmmmmm... I can't say it's my favorite but it's one of my favorite movies: The Hours. It was so deep, so sad, so full of meaning, and spoke to me. I loved the way they portrayed the desperation in the female characters' lives. I loved how so many things were hidden just below the surface, and then boiled over. I loved Meryl Streep's acting, especially the scene where she's preparing food in the kitchen and breaks down. It's a very human and deep and touching movie.


Q3: Would you rather dress up and go out to eat or stay home?
Dress up and go out to eat!!! As everyone knows, I am not a fan of the kitchen. Food is always tastier when someone else prepares it. And it's fun to be out and about.


Q4: How much time do you spend on the computer a day?
Way too much. 9 hours at work (I'm a software developer), and then a bit more surfing/blogging/emailing/chatting at home.

Q5: What is your favorite city or town, you have visited, and why?
Definitely Berlin, Germany. I loved the culture, the art, the cafe's and bars, shopping, the history, the museums. I had a nice time there with my brother's wife and I even met up with my sewing friend Gray! It was fun and I'd like to go back.

Q6: Are you a cake or pie person?
I'm not sure I know the difference... But if I do eat cake or pie, I like it to be very juicy: either with a ton of fruit in it (like apple pie) or lots of delicious chocolate. And not too sweet.


Q7: If time, money, and kids were not a factor and you could go anywhere in the world, where would it be? 
So many places. The USA to meet all of my blogging friends and internet friends, and attend courses by Susan Khalje on haute couture and Denyse Schmidt about improvisational quilting. To Australia and New Zealand because I hear they're amazing. Spain, to speak the language. South America. 

Q8: You are on a beautiful beach, warm sun and sand.  Are you most likely to build a sand castle, or swim in the ocean?
Probably swim in the ocean. It's too hot out in the sun and I love the lulling feeling of the waves. The sea water is good for your skin, too.


Q9: What is your favorite book?
I have a few: 
Cat's Cradle by Kurt Vonnegut
Three Comrades by Erich Maria Remark
The Phantom Tollbooth by Norton Juster
and probably others that have slipped my mind...

Q10: What is your favorite type of food: Italian, Mexican, or Chinese?
I guess out of the three I'd have to say Italian. I love a good pasta, but not too often. Mexican is too spicy and meaty and Chinese too salty and processed. I prefer sushi, fresh salads, and vegetarian dishes though.


Q11: What is your favorite drink?
I try to steer clear of sugary drinks, including squeezed juices. I do like lemonade, and "herbal tea" without sugar.
