Minutiae

1 – Defend your splurge – Tell us why you bought that thing — we won’t judge.

I don’t even know what I would splurge on. I don’t treat myself to anything, even after 5 years of contemplation on it. I’ve been thinking about upgrading my DSLR camera for about 4 years, and I’m still no closer to spending the money on a new camera.

2 – What is one thing you always take from a hotel room?

Soaps, shampoo and hand cream assuming that we use them while we are there. I’m pretty tame when it comes to this. If I’m going to use them, no point letting the rest of the bottle be thrown away.

3 – What is one thing in your pantry you know you keep for too long?

Ummmm …. baked beans. We always have baked beans on hand, even if it is past its expiry date. I have never come across tinned food that has gone bad in a tin that is undamaged.

4 – Which game show sums up your life?
a. Jeopardy
b. Family Feud
c. The Price is Right
d. The Dating Game

I only know three of those TV shows, and the Australian versions, so not sure how different they from the US versions. But going by titles alone, I’d probably say that my life is like the Dating Game, where you match with someone on the surface, but once the glitter and lights go away, it fizzles into nothing.

That’s certainly how most of my relationships see to go (except Missus Sub).

5 – When all is said and done, will you have said more than you have done?

Definitely speak more than I do. I’m all talk and no action.
