Friday's Feast: I'm Out of Clever Subtitles

Friday's Feast, 30 July 2005.

Appetizer Name 3 people whom you admire for their intelligence.
Derek: He wraps his brain around sociological principles and seemingly contradictory ideas in ways that makes my skull ache.
Curtis: It sometimes amazes me to find out how much he know, and how easily he picks up on abstract concepts that I struggle with. And I'll never know the HERO System as well as he does.
Dad: He is the most well-read person I expect I am ever likely to meet. He has this really annoying talent: he can read a book while the TV or radio is on and pick up both.

Soup What's the last food you tried that you really didn't care for?
I got the mahi mahi platter at a local sit-down / take-out restaurant. The fish was okay—if a little dry—but I could definitely have gone without the kim chee side dish.

Salad If you could rename the street that you live on, what would you want it to be called?
Calle del Nombre Tonto

Main Course When was the last time you were genuinely surprised?
July 4th, when I asked The Girl for her phone number. She said I even looked shocked.

Dessert Share a household tip.
A little bit of cleaning at a time spread over several days beats the heck out of a whole bunch of it all at once.
