Via _subdivisions_:

1. What’s one thing that made you happy today?

After spending hours on porting item #1 to our new software version, item #2 took about 15 minutes. Yay for learning curves! (Ok, also bug fixes -- it's a pre-release version. :-) )

2. What’s one thing that drove you crazy today?

Having my Mac seize an audio CD and refuse to eject. 45 minutes and half a dozen reboots later it finally coughed up. Sheesh! For future reference, the trick is to hold down the left mouse button while booting, but it has to be a wired mouse. Um, what?

(Number 3 was redacted for complete irrelevance.)

4. Is there a TV show you never miss? What is it?

Historically, Babylon 5 and, later, LOST (the last 10 minutes of which does not exist in my world, thankyouverymuch). Of shows currently on the air, The Big Bang Theory. Though an important distinction: B5 always got watched on broadcast night; the others get/got watched within the week.

5. How do you get to work?

I drive via local roads (no parkway, yay).

6. Rake in the fall, or leave ‘em ‘til after the thaw?

Rake in the fall. I left them till spring once, thinking they would just turn into mulch and cease to be a problem. That didn't work so well.

7. What’s your favorite cheese?

I like rich, soft cheeses of the Brie/Camembert/etc family. I've had some excellent specimens that I can never find again (nor remember the names of) after the encounter. Oh well.

8. Who’s your favorite muppet?

I haven't watched any muppets since I was a kid, but I remember thinking that Oscar the Grouch got a bum rap and was clearly misunderstood. :-)

No little paperclip-supporting holes on a Mac Mini, no. I looked. :-)

#3 was "what is your favorite monster movie".
