12. DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRONG? Er... you know, I still think of myself like I was in ninth grade, when I was just a skinny pipsqueak. Nowadays I think I'm alright, I guess.
13. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE ICE CREAM? See, here I'm a traditionalist. You can't go wrong with just plain vanilla.

Since I'm studying at Oxford, and they have a little bit of reputation for being difficult, I'm brushing up on my history by reading the eight volume (average of about 800 pages each) Cambridge History of the Middle Ages. I'm on volume seven. Also, I'm rereading the Dune series, but I'm almost done with those. I've been reading some basic stuff on Semiotics - Course in General Linguistics by de Saussure, some of Pierce's essays, Barthes' Mythologies, trying to decipher Derrida's on Grammatology. To balance that out, I've been reading Sartre's Essays in Existentialism. I know there's more... oh, I went to a used bookstore the other day, and got a history of Greece and a Philosophy of History reader. I finished the history and am still going through the philosophy. I'm sure there's more... you know, that's good. I'm sorry, but you asked.
40. WHAT IS ON YOUR MOUSE PAD? An advertisement for www.mustardshop.com
41. WHAT DID YOU WATCH ON T.V. LAST NIGHT? Taxi. It's the only thing on at 12:00, except for Craig Ferguson and I missed the opening. I like to have a little background noise on while I read or write.
42. FAVORITE SOUNDS? That harmonic B that I hit on the last run of the Asturias-Leyenda of Albeniz. When I get it right, hm, that's good.
