minkhollowYou know, the more I think about it, the more "answerphone" (alternately "asnaphone") makes sense over "answering machine." From the names, you'd expect an ansaphone to answer your phone when you're gone and an answering machine to answer all your questions. So, ansaphone it is. ^_^ (We just got a combination cordless phone/ansaphone, seeing as the old of both were dead.)
Toward the end of last week there was a ribbon tied to the lamp in the "dining" room (we never actually eat in there). I kept thinking it was a balloon and trying to walk off with it. Which wouldn't have gone very well, so it's a good thing I caught myself in time. The ribbon's still there, but it doesn't look like there should be a balloon at the other end anymore.
001. Favorite band(s): Barenaked Ladies, the Who, Todd Rundgren, Talking Heads, Harry Nilsson, Peter Gabriel, the occasional Aqua, Counting Crows, far too much 80's music to try listing
002. Do you enjoy concerts? Ohhhh yeah.
003. What was the last concert you attended? The Who. In Indianapolis. The day before school started this year. It was a good idea, until I had to get up the next morning. Can we have John back, please? (I mean, the replacement's a worthy successor, but... you know.)
004. Music you couldn't live without? Lots of stuff that's older than me. And, of course, BNL.
005. Kind of music that would fall off the face of the earth and you wouldn't care nor miss it? POP!, rap, cry-into-your-beer country
006. About how many CDs do you own? ::goes to count:: 27, including those I've burned. Without those it's more like 23-ish.
007. How many CDs can your stereo hold at a time? ^_^ Five!
008. Do you have a discman? Yes, but it's BROKEN. Still kicking myself over that one. Possibly getting one for Christmas, but if I knew for sure that's ruin the surprise, wouldn't it?
009. What CD(s) could you listen to for hours? Disc One (BNL), my 80's compilation, Bill & Ted soundtrack, So (Peter Gabriel)
010. Can you sing well? Well... you won't get me in front of an audience.
How many CDs do you own by...
011. Britney Spears? 0 (die die die die die...)
012. City High? 0 (who?)
013. O-Town? 0 (TV band. No other worthwhile comments.)
014. Eminem? 0 (die die die die die...)

017. Everclear? 0 (Few good songs, just never bought them.)
018. Mandy Moore? 0
019. Backstreet Boys? 0
020. N'Sync? 0 (Let the guy into space. Hell, let the whole BAND go. And leave 'em there. {Speaking of falling off the face of the earth...})
021. Dr. Dre? 0 (Most rap can go hang itself. There's a bit that's actually got, God forbid, a positive message. But lately it's all about how many girlfriends the guy has and how expensive his car is and how many drugs he's on/selling/whatever...)
022. Fuel? 0 (who?)
023. Linkin Park? 0
024. Destiny's Child? 0 (gag...)
025. Dream? 0 (who?)
026. Korn? 0 ("How about corn on a dinner plate? Will that make this guy cringe?" -approximate quotation of A Meeting of the Brains, because TLAS rules like that.)
028. Missy Elliot? 0
029. Nelly Furtado? 0 (who?)
030. Jessica Simpson? 0
031. Christina Aguliera? 0 (I thought she was slightly better than Britney. Then I read something about her latest song, and the dream was gone...)
032. Eve 6? 0 (who?)
033. Sum 41? 0 (who?)
034. No Doubt? 0 ("Hella Good" has a... strange video. Some of their oher stuff is alright.)
035. Mariah Carey? 0
036. The Offspring? 0
037. Rancid? 0 (who?)
038. System Of A Down? 0 (Though I do think "Steal This Album!" is an interesting ploy.)
039. Kittie? 0 (who?)
040. NoFX? 0 (who?)
(To go by this list I have no CD collection...)
What lyric comes to your mind when you hear...
036. Goo Goo Dolls? A visionary coward says that anger can be power, as long as there's a victim on TV
037. Lifehouse?
038. Vertical Horizon? He says all the right things at excatly the right times, but he means nothing to you and you don't know why...
039. Vitamin C?
040. LFO?
041. Savage Garden? ...I'm sure I could give you something if I could tune out Robert Plant.
042. Papa Roach?
043. The Bloodhound Gang? (argh) Let's not go there, shall we?
044. Toni Braxton?
045. 98 Degrees? It's the hardest thing I'll ever have to do... (I give these guys slightly more credit than the "big" boy bands...)
046. Our Lady Peace?
047. The Verve Pipe?
048. Craig David?
050. Aqua? Freaky Friday, go play on the highway... (For those who are only familiar with the likes of "Barbie Girl", their second album is MUCH better.)
052. Micaela?
053. The Fugees? Strumming my pain with his fingers...
Either or...
054. Britney or Christina? Can we... NOT go there?
055. Punk or rock? Rock.
056. Edited or un-edited? un-edited
057. Backstreet Boys or N'Sync? Backstreet Boys. By a VERY slim margin.
058. Nick or Justin? Eh, let's leave the whole band in space.
059. Live or on TV? Yes...
060. Amphitheater or arena? Yes!
061. Live band or recorded tape? I go on a song-by-song basis for that one...
Anyone who's taken this and wants to get some more interesting/better/something like that bands or singers in here, go ahead and comment.
Not all the wrapping's done, but the stuff for parental units and self is.
