Saturday 9: My Favorite Things (2018)



1) This week's artist, Jennie Abrahamson, is very happy living in Stockholm, but she refers to Paris as "a flirt." She enjoys her time there so much she always wants to return. Is there a place you've visited that tugs at your heart and imagination, tempting you to return?

The outlet mall by where my son lives.

Really good one...

2) Jennie has said her music has been heavily influenced by 80s pop, which was popular in her early teen years. Are your favorite songs the ones you listened to when you were growing up? 

Nope.

I have moved on.

3) "My Favorite Things" is from The Sound of Music. Crazy Sam's high school claim to fame was playing Sister Margaretta in the senior class production. Though not a big part, her performance lives on because relatives love embarrassing her with pictures of her in an especially unflattering nun's habit. Who took an embarrassing photo of you? What were you doing?

Usually it's some crappy selfie because I have yet to master doing  that.

4) The lyrics celebrate "brown paper packages tied up in strings." What was in the last box you received in the mail?

Got something from Amazon. We recently got those Amazon trucks in my town and they are quite familiar with my house. 

5) It mentions doorbells and sleighbells. What's the most recent bell or alarm that you heard?

A ringtone on my husband's phone. A bit annoying ringtone at that.

6) This song has nice things to say about cold weather, specifically snowflakes and mittens. What do you like about winter?

No bugs.

7) Dog bites and bee stings are singled out as things that can leave us feeling sad. What's most recently given you the blues?

Hearing stories about people suffering from the recent shut down.

8) In 2018, when this song was released, Roger Federer won the Australian Open. Are you good with a racket?

Depends on what kind of 'racket' ha ha.

Actually, no.

9) Random question -- Your local zoo announced the hatching of three snowy owlets. All males. You won the honor of naming them. Go ahead.

Obviously, Larry Curly, and Moe.  Nyuk Nyuk Nyuk.
