Is there a documentary or book that really changed the way you thought about something?
That's the thing about documentaries for me. The seem like the best medium to tell of (relatively current) happenings and portray things in a new light. It's really easy for a documentary to leave me feeling like I should go out and be useful for a cause. Stuff like Food Chains, Garbage Dreams, Struggles in Steel, and (especially) Call Me Lucky are a few I saw recently the left me with that kind of feeling.It's also great when they're just telling you about different topics most might not know about to that extent like The Decline of Western Civilization, Hairy Who and the Chicago Imagists, and The Story of the National Lampoon. They are very intriguing and also make you want to model the (I suppose in this case) inventiveness of these people. The common thing with all of these is importance of interviews (some made almost only of these). It's probably what has the biggest impact and is the key to connecting these feelings to me.The one oddball would probably be Manufactured Landscapes which features a minimal amount of any sort or narration and instead relies on imagery (not surprising being about photography). It's defintely had a large impact on how I feel about photography as a profession and even an art despite thinking I loved it already before seeing it.These are all recent things I've seen, but they've probably had more impact than things I've seen in years past.
Would you rather be able to speak any language fluently or have the ability to talk to animals?
Obviously the ability to communicate with the whole world. If talking to animals is chosen over that, like, fuck you, I guess.

Not sure how accurate this is when I look at some of my other favorites but:Could Be Bitter Forever ...Like Clockwork How I Loved You White Men Are Black Men Too To Be KindA top ten would be much easier and I'd probabbly be able to order that. Maybe...
What does a perfect day look like to you?
Grey with the sun and blue of the sky blocked behind dense clouds.
Who is your favorite fictional character?
What song is currently your favorite?
I don't know, right know... I guess Union of the Snake. Been listening to that album a lot lately. But the same could be said for Another Life. One of those.
Where do you get your best ideas?
While walking I guess.
What's one thing that always makes you happy? PAP!
What's the last book you read?
The last book I read was The Road; the last book I finished was The Time Machine. (Unless short stories count). Both happen to be through class. The last book I read on my own was Koko Takes a Holiday and the last I finished on my own was Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep.
How would you explain your basic life philosophy?
I'll get back with you on that.
Do you prefer to ask questions or answer them?
Answer, so it's a sad life.
You're stuck on an island. How would you spend your time?
I'd answer if I had no shame.
Minamin!
This isn't a question, but I didn't want to delete it.
I guess I see myself as Leo because his personality is the least radical of the bunch.
According to AP, if I'm reading it right, the only Yamato title you've seen is Farewell—is that right? How did you find watching it on its own? (This is in no way a dig at you for not watching any of the rest of Yamato, I'm just curious.)
I actually did see the first season of Yamato before seeing the film (it might go under a different title, like Star Blazers, on AP--site's not loading right now), so I can't really answer that. Still, Farewell was fantastic, so I wouldn't be surprised if someone going into it blind would still enjoy it.Well, that might not be true; it's possible the characters aren't as developed by the film alone. Someone new to it might not be attached to the characters as much. I'd be interest to hear what someone thought about that too.
Is indiana a boring place to live?
It's all right. If I were into doing exciting things, I'd probably be worse off. Even then, there are plenty of lakes to go to (which I'm currently staying for the summer) if your into that stuff--I'm not. Unfortunately, living in the upper half of the state, it can feel a bit boring just because of the geography, but if you go down south of the state there are actually lots of hills and trees and it looks beautiful. My gripes would be that the most urban place near me is Fort Wayne which is by no means an interesting city. It's not a bad place, although there are a lot of murders there, just pretty lame. The other thing is, because of things like that there are a lot less events happening and stores around that are relevant to me. There's ComicCon in Indy (the last Eva Rebuild showed there too), but I don't really go down there. But, last year, Ben Folds went out of his way to add a show at the Embassy Theater because he likes the Fort Wayne Philharmonic enough, so that makes it all worth it.
I'll say it's my first entry into Precure although I actually did start watching Pretty Cure right before it started (only got to 5 episodes though). I didn't think I was into this strain of shoujo until recently. Also, Minami is my favorite Precure so far. One reason being the amazing transformation hair she has. When I saw this episode, I figured this was a fitting replacement for Kohina with a bubble pipe.
