It seems Sunday Stealing is getting back on its feet after a haitus of a couple of months. I do like having these questions to do on a weekend, even if they are often America-centric at times. It means I don't have to think about what I'm writing about for a day a week. They're currently looking for a new quiz setter. I'm not up to that. Bev, who was running this for a few years did a great job. So for the moment Bud Weiser, the person who used to set the quiz is back on track.
Anyway, here's last week's questions:
1. Where were you three hours ago?
I was at the Melbourne Convention Centre seeing Kagami: Ryuichi Sakamoto and Tin Drum. This was a musical and virtual reality feast. I loved every minute of it. See my review here.
2. Make a confession.
I'm rather proud of myself for living in England for six years in the nineties without a visa. You could never get away with it now, but it's something I did.
3. Bad habits?
Far too many to list.
4. Favorite color?
My favourite colour is probably pillar box red. I love deep reds.
5. Can you drive?
Yes. I can drive pretty much anything with four wheels - cars, trucks, tractors... I love to drive, and I'm happy driving both manuals and automatics. I'm the person who drives their friend's car home when they've had too much to drink. Driving anything is one of my superpowers.
6. 3 pet peeves.
- People who are rude to service staff.
- People who walk slowly in front of you (nearly slapped somebody this evening)
- People who expect you to eat dessert with a big spoon. (Neurodiversity indicator - dessert must always be eaten with a teaspoon - you get more bang for your buck that way - I've known this for years.)
7. Last person you hugged.
I'm not sure. I think it was my mate Bear as I left the retreat on Sunday afternoon. There were lots of hugs to be had at the retreat, but I'm pretty sure it was Bear - or Lynda, who remembered to bring the cauldron.
8. Something you miss.
Kissing. I can't remember the last time I was kissed property.
Oh, and I miss the United States having sane leader. The last one, okay, was a bit feeble, but at least he was in control and sane.
Oh, and our televisions being free from Clive Palmer and his insipid, annoying and dog-whistling ads.
9. What song is stuck in your head at the moment?
See below. I love Mel C - she's the only Spice Girl who could really sing.
10. Favorite quote.
"Brevity is the soul of wit." William Shakespeare, Hamlet, Act 2, Scene 2.
Oh, and I like this one too:
"When the world is silent, one voice is powerful." Malala Yousefzai
11. Favorite band.
THE PIXIES!
But running a close second is Talking Heads.
12. Something you're excited for.
I'm going to England and France in September. It's six months away, but I'm very much looking forward to it.
13. Favorite movie.
Oh, I have too many favourite movies, but one that keeps coming up in this list is Three Colours: Blue. It really is exceptional.
14. What type of phone do you have?
Currently I have an Apple iPhone 15 Pro. I love it. It takes great photos.
15. Favorite animal.
My cat, Lucifer.

I did not know about small spoon! I saw Talking Heads on the Stop Making Sense tour, saw the movie in 2022 (finally), and saw a very good T Heads cover band, Start Making Sense, in 2023.
