Which One?!
Plain water with ice, preferably from a well back where I used to live. It tasted so clean and not at all like pool water....err, I mean disgusting city water.Owning books or borrowing books?
Both.Reading a book that someone has written notes in the margins, or one unsullied by another's thoughts?
Unsullied I believe.To be waited upon or be the waiter?
To be waited upon.Dresses or skirts?
Take this from someone who doesn't wear pants, Skirts.Washing dishes by hand, or putting them in the dishwasher?
By hand.Reading with music playing or without music?
Without music.Watching t.v. alone or with someone?
Slight preference for with someone.See a play live or as a movie?
Both have advantages, but I think live.Have book shelves with no books or lots of books and no shelves.
The first. I love bookcases.Education or experience?
Shine. I live in a temperate rainforest, This area can get rain for 2 months straight sometimes.@ M, experience then education. If you get education first, you may think you know and then it is harder to let experience teach you anything and can be very frustrating. If you are uneducated before experience, you are keen to learn from it, and then education becomes the path to enlightenment and not frustration. Of course, until you have had experience you won't know that education is often times the means of creating blindness to what is actually happening.
Learning in a classroom or with a mentor?
Mentor, easily. I've learned a lot more from my father just being my father than any classroom or even course books.Single book or long series?
That is a tricky one. I like a "good" long series, but it is so rare to find one. Like "Artemis Fowl". Frozen Bananas or frozen strawberrys?
Frozen strawberries!Cold water or cool water?
Red though maybe both.Read fantasy or historical fiction?
Fantasy. The news I get comes from the Associated Press.Do you tend to be spontaneous or to like things planned out?
A little bit of both, I spontaneously planed my sisters birthday party?Lemonade or Pepsi?
Lemonade, but only if it is fresh made. Otherwise neither.Lemonade or ice tea.
I'd say Lemonade.Tea or coffee?
Coffee.A well-written book that’s unexciting or an exciting book that isn’t well written?
Well, no, quite frankly, although I have no idea how to dub the Sounds of the Universe with anyone.Someone mistaking TPBM for Which One, or someone mistaking Which one for TPBM?
Someone mistaking Which One for TPBM. I am sure I have almost posted ones myself and then stopped before I let it get put on there. LOL.Terrible movies or good movies that don't interest you?
Well, terrible movies that interest me. Many 'good' movies get so designated because of an ephemeral aesthetic or artificial morality. Terrible movies quite often exist outside those strictures, and are far more honest expressions of a zeitgeist or personal point of view.Foreign language films dubbed or sub-titled?
Subtitled. I can’t stand dubbed films.French films or Italian?
Interesting choice. A slight preference for French. Something about their sensibility appeals to me a bit more strongly than that of Italian ones. (And sub-titled for me, too! Dubbed is a complete waste of effort.)German films or French?
Korean, their take on things is most interesting.Robert De Niro or Willem Dafoe movies?
Barnacles. I like the sound of the word more.Jane Austen or Emily Bronte?
Emily Bronte. She didn't write as much.Wuthering Heights: the novel or the Monty Python semaphore version?
I love the semaphore version from Monty Python!! I have never read the novel nor seen any of the films. I also am a fan of Julius Ceasar using an Aldus lamp reciting "Et tu, Brute?"And I can't believe I missed out on messages 2163-2167. I love talking about movies! And many times foreign ones are the best ones out there.
Life Is Beautiful or Wuthering Heights?
Life is Beautiful but not a fan of either.Hmmm. Do I do an obscure movie choice? Hmmmm. Well, I guess I do.
Breaking the Waves or Ghost Dog: Way of the Samurai
Though I have not seen either, I would probably like Ghost Dog since I have heard of it before and I guess it is probably not a bad movie.Romeo & Juliet or The Tempest?
Black.White chocolate or milk chocolate?
Milk chocolate.Utopian or Dystopian?
Jack. Jill saw Jack's mistake, and did the exact same thing!Mammels or invertibrates?
Hmm. Which taste better? I think mammals.Reptiles or insects?
Reptiles.And hi Taliah!!!
Old Tv shows or old movies?
Old movies. They don’t have any sound.Constance Talmadge or Anna Q. Nilsson?
That's a choice? Connery of course.Sean Connery or Paul Newman?
Are they brands of glue? If so, then I HATE THEM BOTH! Glue and I don't really get along.Whipper-snipper or hedge trimmer?
I don’t know what a whipper-snipper is, but I don’t want to get anywhere near one.Zesty Italian or parmesan ranch?
Italian, but only if it's Newman's.Caesar Salad or Nicoise?
I have only tried Caesar Salad so I will choose that one though Nicoise (hard-boiled eggs, potatoes, black olives etc.) sounds delicious! Macaroni and cheese or "Shells and Cheese?" (that stuff with gooey cheese in the bag).
