Ask Trish Anything!

[Trish]

Do you think time flies when you are having fun or is it fun to have flies when you have the time? 😛

Time flies, period. And while I'm sure flies have a sense of time, I've never seen one wearing a wristwatch.

What places like that have you visited? 😀

There was a great cabin resort in Maine I was just at for a few days. There were people around, but I chose to embrace a hermit lifestyle and it worked out really well.

I have only been to Maine once, but it did seem like a good place for solitude. 😀
Have you ever been to New York City? Quite the opposite of solitude here.

I have spent some time in NYC, and while I love the culture and the freedom that is provided by having so many options, it does get a little overwhelming.

I prefer my visits there to be brief, now. Only so much I can handle.

Yes, it can be overwhelming. 😀

Of all the movies you have ever seen, what is your favorite? 😀

 

[kurchatovium]

If oranges were purple instead of orange would we have to call them purples?

 

[Trish]

Yes, it can be overwhelming. 😀

Of all the movies you have ever seen, what is your favorite? 😀

That's a borderline impossible question. So many of them are good for so many reasons.

If I HAVE to choose a single movie, I'll say Shawshank Redemption. Just a beautiful movie.

Would that mean plums would be orange?

Maybe.... or maybe blueberries would have to become orangeberries.

Do you like the poetry of TS Elliot?

(My apologies that last question sounded way to serious. 😛)

I'm not super familiar, though I just read a poem where he compares a hippopotamus to church. That's intriguing.

 

[paracarl44]

Is your vacation over?

 

[Trish]

Is your vacation over?

I suppose if we're being technical, my vacation has been about 2 years long, so no, I suppose its not.

But, if you're asking if my time in the cabin in Maine is over, then yes. I'm staying with my best friend (he's 3) and his parents until late tonight or tomorrow, and then it's back on the road!

Certainly a fine movie but not my personal favorite. 😀
What book (if any) that you have read most influenced your philosophy of life?

This is getting deep, Mister Milagros!

I'll go with the obvious one and say Kerouac's On the Road - I think anyone struck with wanderlust the way I have finds this book absolutely essential.

That book was very popular when I was in high school (and I graduated a long time ago, in 1968). I didn't know that younger people still read it. 😀
Where will you wander next?

I'll be heading down to the greater DC area tonight or tomorrow.

I visit Baltimore regularly but rarely go to DC. 😀
Have you been there before?

I've been through Baltimore countless times, but have never actually stayed in the city! Is it worth going?

I go there to visit relatives. For tourist purposes, there is Harbor Place and, if you are a baseball fan, Orioles Park at Camden Yards. Other than those two attractions, not much to see there.
Have you ever been to the Caribbean? 😀

 

[wolfman40]

If I gave you a hundred bucks right now, what would you buy with it?

I have not. Hard to drive there.

Right now I want really good quality Bluetooth headphones. And a Diet coke.

 

[milagros317]

Impossible, actually, unless you have a car/boat as featured in some James Bond movies.
Do you have any desire to go to places that can only be reached by plane or ship from North America?

I do! I would love to go to the UK once things settle down. I am currently fascinated with some place called Skarra Brae, a 5,000 year old village found in Scotland that I read about recently.

I've been told that if I ever went to Hawaii, I would never want to leave. That, to me, sounds like a challenge!

While I could drive there, I think it might be easier to fly to Barrow, Alaska, which is another place on my list, especially when it's perpetual dark.

Truthfully, I'll go anywhere!

I think anything loaded with sugar is fair game LOL... but he likes the christmas type candies the best I think. 😛

How many hyperdimesional intergalactic traffic cones do you own? 😛

I bought one off of Craigslist a few weeks ago, but the blasted thing never shipped.

Or it did, and I don't even know it's here!
