Friday Fiver

1. Any plans to watch the Super Bowl?
We will be at my parents' house this Sunday and I will probably be cooking something and I might catch a commercial or two but no, I have no plans to actually watch football. I might just pop upstairs and do our taxes instead.

2. Friday or Saturday: Which is a better date night?
Saturday. I'm usually so exhausted from work that I have trouble keeping my eyes open past 9:30 PM.

3. Do you do anything special on the weekends that you don't do during the week?
We'll go up to Duluth from time to time. Usually if I drink at all it's on the weekend.

4. Where do you get your news from?
NBC, ABC, whatever headline catches my eye on my My Yahoo page.

5. Kevin, Norm, Colin, Jimmy, Tina or Amy?
I completely missed the boat on this one. I assume this is in reference to some TV show that I don't watch. I'm going to change the question to "what would you rather name your child." I vote Colin. I know a really funny guy named Colin.

Alt Friday 5

1. Rain: hate it? Love it? Indifferent?
Love it. I sleep the best when I can hear rain falling. I really like wild thunderstorms too.

2. Relate an interesting story from your life involving rain (e.g. a big storm, a romantic walk in the rain, etc.).
I remember running in the summer rain with a friend in college along the Kinnickinnic River. Good times. That river is the only reason I would ever visit that town again.

3. How much does it usually rain where you live? Is that too much for you? Not enough? Just right?
Depends on the year. Sometimes it rains a ton, sometimes hardly at all. I like more sun than rain.

4. Is it raining right now where you are? If yes, what kind of rain is it?
We've got light snow today.

5. Tell us your favourite song lyric with "rain" in it (or any lyric that comes to mind, if you can't pick a "favourite").

Don't you think that you need somebody
Don't you think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
(Cue epic guitar solo)
