Which television shows do you just refuse to miss?

I won’t go so far as to say that I “refuse” to miss them, but I really enjoy “Gilmore Girls,” “My Name Is Earl” and “The Office.” I started watching “30 Rock” recently, too, and it’s been consistently funny. I’m looking forward to the return of “Lost,” even though I’m not holding out much hope that it’s going to get better.

Who did you last speak to on the telephone?

My mother-in-law, Genia. She called last night to tell me that Pictsweet had responded to a letter we wrote about the declining quality of the tiny green peas. (My father-in-law is very serious about his tiny green peas.) Pictsweet sent them four coupons for free vegetables! In my eyes, they’ve redeemed themselves.

How many pillows do you keep on your bed?

What is your favorite foreign food?

I had some fantastic crab wontons last night. And Kung Pao Scallops. And tomorrow night we’re having bean nachoes, which is another of my favorites.

What comes to your mind when you see the color orange?

Orange is a bright, cheery color. So … bright, cherriness, I guess.

Did you ever get in trouble while you were in school? If so, what was it for?

I had recently moved to a new school, and I wanted to make some friends. So, being the wise fourth-grader that I was, I thought it would help if I was mean. I wrote an “anonymous” mean note to a girl that someone had advised me to “stay away from.” It apparently wasn’t terribly anonymous, though. I got busted. And I still feel bad about writing the note.

Salad
Which topping(s) make up your perfect pizza?

Extra cheese, pineapple and pepperoni. Just this week we tried a pesto, red pepper and chicken pizza, though, and it was pretty darn awesome.

Main Course
Do you believe in UFOs/aliens/etc.? Why or why not?

No. I don’t have any long-winded reasoning. I understand all of the “how could we be the only ones?” arguments. At my core, though, I just don’t believe it.

Dessert
What color is your bedspread/comforter/quilt?

It’s cream colored. I want to get some sort of cover for it (a duvet? is that what a duvet is?), but I haven’t done that yet.
