Lefty Side of the Dial

1. Tom Hanks. I kid, I kid....actually I'd go with either Vanessa Redgrave or Sir Lawrence Olivier.

2. Conversational Spanish or learn how to draw

3. lots of photographs in a photo box and photo albums, on my computer at work, on our laptop at home, on a USB memory stick, and in various places on the internet.

4. In the morning before I start working, so I can check comments and do some weeding of the awful amount of comment spam I get.

5. I think it has its roots in our religious conservatism historically, and I would also say partially because we allow gun ownership.

6. 8 live plants (and one fake) at work. only two live plants at home.

1. gregory peck. although i also am a fan a brando's method.

2. i need to really learn more dj skills.

3. most of my pictures are on my computer.

4. i usually read it in the afternoon, as i go through my list of blogs.

5. this is an interesting one. i think that some of it has to do with the religious history of our united states, but it's got to be more than that. because, in all honesty, all of the western world shares this same religious history, and they don't all have the same dichotomy of no sex but violence good. i need to continue to think on this.

6. the wife likes to garden, so we have a bunch. i don't know the actual count.

1. Jack Nicholson

2. perhaps photography

3. In my office on my desk.

4. I check occasionally at different times of the day.

5. I think they allow violence on TV to desensatize the youth so that they are more receptive to violence and going to war. Nudity is not allowed because there are a few people out there that complain so much and law makers are worried about making everyone happy and being all PC.

6. 4 and 4 (I work from home)

1. Brando and Kate Hepburn.
2. All sorts of technical skills, like getting my cell phone to work.
3. On my office desk, on the CD holder at home and in my wallet. Oh, and on my blog.
4. Actually, I don't read this blog. I go into a trance and the information is magically implanted into my brain.
5. Because there's a Second Amendment right to bear arms, but no amendment rite to bare arms, or bare whatever.
6. A bunch of my wife's; I have nothing to do with them unless she's away for an extended period, when I get to water them. There are plants in other people's cubies, but not mine; I'd just kill them.

1. Daniel Day-Lewis: He has fantastic range when it comes to character. I mean he went from Christy Brown to Hawkeye to Newland Archer to Gerry Conlon, and there is so much more. Again, absolutely fantastic.

2. I would want to be able to speak Spanish conversantly.

3. I have pics primarily on my laptop, and on my ipod, as well as on a few storage devices, oh yeah, and some printed pics in frames that have yet to be placed on a wall.

4. Usually while I am going number two :-D . OK, really, about once a day

5. It seems to me that violence and sexuality are about equally represented in or culture. Of course, you said nudity which is to sexuality the graphic equivalent of blood splatter to violence, which I don't actually see more of then nudity. In other words, I see clothes coming off and skin, and sex which artfully hides actual nudity just about as much as I see guns firing and bombs exploding without actual blood splatter and severed limbs.

6. I am ashamed to say that we currently don't have any living plants in our house.
