10 Questions Answered

So in keeping with the times and trying to keep up with the popularity of the blog (I think I am up to double-digits of people who read regularly! WOOT!) I am going to answer some questions that have been submitted, many of them by my sister Brett but the answers to which I think would be beneficial to all - or maybe just to all who are as interested in my life as I am...

1. What are your plans for after the election?

Nov. 4 Election Day
Nov. 5 Andy Sleeps
Nov. 8 Andy Wakes Up
Nov. 14 Andy sees James Bond, Quantum of Solace Opens
Nov. 15 Andy Leaves for Mexico
Nov. 21 Andy Returns from Mexico
Nov. 27 Andy Eats Much Food
Dec. 15 Andy Returns to S.C. and GA for Christmas
Jan - Feb Andy Snowboards

2. Why are moving into a mobile home?

Several reasons really - it's cheaper than where I am living now, and that's a room is a rando lady's house. It's within walking distance to the place where I spend most of my time not on the campaign - Matt's house (so I'll save on gas). And I really like not having to worry about anyone else in the house - it's been since STL that I lived alone, and I really liked that, so this is a cheap and fun way to do that, since not only Matt, but also Andy Bragg and the Gants live in the same park. Also, Matt's parents' house is outside the park, but also within walking distance. And it's a Granite Bay zip code, which is like living in the Beverly Hills of Placer County...

3. What happened to the 10-sentance rule?

I have way too much to say to limit myself... END CENSORSHIP!

4. How do I more easily follow your blog?

That's easy - there's a widget on the sidebar called 'Sheep' where you can be counted as a follower - it will automatically send you updates so you know when to check back when I have posted something. BUT - this does not give you updates on the comments section, so you'll have to check back to see those... which bring us to:

5. Are posting comments and following the blog important?

HOW DARE YOU! Of course it's important - right now I am the number 1,900,000 or so of blogs out there - in order to move up (into, say, the 1,000,000 or so) I need followers, I need blog comments and I need page visits. Plus I really like feedback, so leave comments and let me know how I struck you...

6. What are you going to do with your life following the election?

I don't know. Next...

7. What makes you so attractive to women?

Well, I can't really describe it except for with a series of seemingly-unconnected french phrases like joie de vivre, creme de la creme, je ne sais quoi, tour de force, and souffrir pour être belle

8. What is going to happen to the Kumquats?

Kumquats, down but not out having placed second in the last temporada, will resume their season with a premier game on Thursday, Oct. 23. I will most likely be unable to join the team until after the election, so they will be playing two games without me - but we have a strong core returning, and we're only losing one starter, Taylor, who I liken to a girl cat...

9. Have you done any retail therapy lately? If so, what have you purchased?

Funny you should ask - I have! I deal with stress by buying things, as you probably know. Since I have just about everything that I could have at this point, I decided to invest in what I'll be doing the majority of the time after the election: watching movies. So i bought a Blu-Ray player and four movies: 300, V for Vendetta, Troy and a fourth that for the life of me I can't remember... Matt, help me out...

10. Are you keeping up with the six-weeks rule?

Clearly - I have been keeping up with the six-weeks rule for going on four months now...

Woot Woot!

Check out the new digs - mine as of today!

This is the kitchen view from the living room

This is the living room from the kitchen - sorry no bedroom shots - the room would not fit both me and my iPhone camera...

Now the only question is - do I want a sofa and loveseat combo OR sofa and two chairs? Both come with a kick-ass ottoman, so does it really matter? Maybe whatever fits best?

At any rate, WOOT for me!

Joe's New Shoes

I stopped by the Nike Outlet on my way to San Francisco yesterday (shocker, I know...) and I found Joe's next pair of shoes...

Comments welcome...

**Editor's note: I've had some (one) question as to who Joe is, which would make this funnier... this is Joe, and yes, this really is him...
