danieldwilliam1. Make a list of 5 things you can see without getting up.
Very little unless I am wearing my glass.
My Lovely Wife – unless she is snuggled under the duvet, in which case I can only see her hair.
A print of the May Queen by Margaret MacDonald MacIntosh – I wish it were bigger.
The light fitting which I refer to as the Space Bagel
The bedroom door which I’ve never quite managed to fix so that it closes properly
My glasses
2. What color is your hair?
Dark Brown
3. What did you want to be as a child?
A nuclear physicist and then a lawyer.
4. What's was the last movie you've watched in the theatre cinema?
Sherlock Holmes with Robert Downey Jnr and Jude Law – less steam punkie than the last one.
5. What do you hear right now?
Office background noise – I am aware of quite heavy footsteps and the fan from the colour printer next to my desk and the sharp rustling of paper.
6. What's your favorite guilty pleasure treat?
Rum
7. What are you thinking about right now?
Rum.
My mind is a turbulent waterfall of creative alternatives.
I’m thinking about a meeting I have this afternoon to talk about energy. About a meeting I had this morning to talk about jobs and the Capt and his self-punishment regime. I’m trying not to think that people who don’t control check their own spreadsheet should be publically immolated for their own good.
8. Write the first word that comes to mind.
Careless
9. Dog person or cat person?
Neither – vehemently neither. I never want an animal in my life. I genuinely struggle to understand why anyone would want an animal unless they were going to eat it, ride it or go hunting with it. If I don’t look at you as if you were insane when you talk about your animals this is a mark of deep affection. If I *ask* you about your animals then I love you.
10. If you came across £2000 (or other currency) would you keep it or turn it in?
I think I might keep it. It would depend on the circumstances very much.
I would certainly keep 2000 Zimbabwean dollars
11. What was the last thing you bought?
A couple of pints in a pub in Edinburgh.
12. If you could afford to go anywhere in the world, where would you go?
Australia, first class with MLW, Bluebird, the Capt.
13. Where do you see yourself in 2 hours?
Having a coffee with a lovely friend.
14. What book are you currently reading?
The Mammoth Book of The Year’s Best Science Fiction vol 17 ed Gardner Dozois, and Toast and Other Stories by Charlies Stross and a paper on defining recessions, and In the Black Labour
Interesting that the question is worded to exclude more than on book.
15. What are you doing this weekend?
Main activity will be lunch with a friend of mine whose husband is visiting from the states. I’ll take the Capt swimming. I might see dad too.
16. If you could play any musical instrument, which one would you play?
Most likely the guitar because of the portability and the versatility but if I could define a musical instrument as the human voice I’d really like to be a singer.
17. A quote that you like.
Our public servants serve us right. Indeed, they serve us better than our apathy and indifference deserve.
18. What are you doing tomorrow?
I’ll be at work during the day and then at Improv during the evening.
19. What were your favorite childhood activities?
Reading, camping with my brothers, walking along the beach, sailing.
