have i ever told you guys about my irrational fear of the late 1800s?
For the first time in a while, it's not just fun, it's meme fun. Courtesy of Ms. Pants. I'm also taking her somewhat casual approach to the tagging process. If you see this and feel moved to participate then please do. Or not. As y'all see fit.
10 random things about me (and I tried to make them as random as possible)::1. I’ve been a college radio DJ since 1998.
2. I saw Penn & Teller at the airport in Las Vegas and went up and thanked them for many years of cool entertainment.
3. In high school, I played percussion in the orchestra. Some of the things I played: cymbals, bass drum, triangle, sleigh bells, tympani, block of metal (standing in for an anvil).
4. My first pair of Doc Marten’s was bought in Edinburgh.
5. Back in the 80s, I published 2 issues of a zine.
6. My favorite season is winter.
7. When I was in Italy, I discovered gelato di riso. Yes, that's rice gelato. It’s the best thing ever. I look for it whenever I’m in a place that sells gelato but I’ve never seen it in the US.
8. I’ve thrown up on a NYC subway
9. My brother and I once bought the same exact Xmas present for each other. But I found where he’d hidden his and was able to buy him something else in time.
10. I was married by an Elvis impersonator.

The late 1800s through the early 1900s has long been my favorite "I wish I could go back in time to see that" part of American history. If you don't count the Siberian land crossing.
I assume that gelato de riso has NOTHING in common with "Rice Dream"?

Nothing at all like Rice Dream. It's more analogous to rice pudding (altho it doesn't taste anything like rice pudding)
