Diary of a Blood Ray - March 20th, 2005

These questions were from Tommy:

1. What was the last meat product you ate? This was a while ago, probably six months or so? I was really hungover, and we were having a food day at work.  Someone had made dirty rice.  I knew there was sausage in it, but I thought perhaps the rice would be good for my stomach.  I tried to eat around the sausage as best I could, but apparently I didn't do it all that well, because I spent the remainder of the day sicker than I was when I got there.  On a side note, I was really craving meat last week (and that hasn't happened in quite a while), but I suspected maybe I wasn't getting enough iron.  I started taking a multi-vitamin, and the cravings went away.  Meat is murder, kids.  Cold blooded murder.  It does smell really tasty when it's cooked up right, though. 

 2. Who would you rather have sex with -- Danny Devito or Gene Wilder? My immediate instinct was Gene Wilder. 

3. If you were forced to remove one character from the entire run of the show "Friends," who would it be? (Try not to think about the logistics of that one.)   This one is really hard, and since I was informed it had to be one of the core six, I've been wringing my hands about it.  I guess it would have to be Ross.  He had the most wildly uneven character on the show and his character was directly tied to that goddamned monkey.

Shania's questions:

1.) You could play ANY role on stage or screen, who would it be?   Another really tough one.  I've thought about the male roles I love, the female roles I love; those on film, those on stage, and at this very moment, I'd probably have to lean towards Roxie Hart in Chicago.

2.) What is the most embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you but that you can laugh about now?  When I lived in NYC, I got called back for a production of Oedipus! The Musical.  It was a long day, and at one point I was outside smoking when another guy from the audition came out and started talking to me.  We chatted for quite a while, and I thought that he might be flirting with me (to this day, I still have trouble figuring out if someone is flirting with me or not).  At one point, he kind of pointed at my ear and said that it looked like I had some shampoo or shaving cream in it.  I went to rub it and looked down.  It was clear to both of us that it was neither shampoo nor shaving cream.  It was, in fact, a nice blob of ear wax.  Mortified, I tried to laugh it off and said, "I guess I didn't do too well cleaning my ears today."  He looked at the mess and at me and replied, "It looks like you haven't done too good of a job cleaning them in a while."    I almost answered with the speed dating fiasco of this summer, but I'm still not laughing too hard about that.

3.) What number (between 1-10) am I thinking of right now? 6

Billy's questions:

1)Where can I get a 10lb box of "body of Christ" for the Saints and Sinners party. Sams was all out and Im not sure Cheeze-its will do the trick.   Have you tried that Catholic Supply store at Hampton and Chippewa?  They may not sell them to you, though.  Do they have to be official?

2)The chair or lethal injection?  Lethal injection.  The chair is just fucking creepy. 

3)Naked wrestling in jello or pork and beans?  This is a tough one, as both have animal-derived products in them.  The Jell-o would probably be better, but if you threw down a vat of vegetarian baked beans, I'd be okay with that, too.

Anyone else?
