Saturday Six - Episode 7
Don’t forget to leave a link to your journal in the comments. You’re welcome to answer the questions here in a comment or to put the answers in an entry on your journal…but the link you leave here gives everyone who plays a chance to visit your journal! (There’s nothing wrong with a little self-promotion, so leave the link!) Enjoy!
1. Hindsight is always 20/20, of course, but if you could rename your journal like one of those catchy titles you’ve seen since you started yours, what would the new name be? (Assuming, of course, that you don’t already have a catchy title.)
2. Your life turns into an episode of “The Twilight Zone.” Which kind of episode would you most like to experience in a real-life adventure?
A) You’re in a plane and a gremlin starts ripping up one of the engines in mid-air.
B) You’re the last survivor of a nuclear holocaust.
C) You wake up and no one knows who you are.
D) Aliens invade your quiet neighborhood street.
E) You get phone calls from the dead.
3. If you could travel back in time to any decade of the 20th century, (you know, the 1900’s?), which decade would you pick and why?
4. Which is your favorite season of the year and why?
5. What is the oldest movie in your home video collection?
6. You find yourself in an unusual modern art museum. The contents are a mix of kinetic sculpture and interactive pieces. Supposedly, it’s THE thing to do in town, so you feel the need to go. After walking around for a while, soaking in the art, you suddenly feel the need to “go” in a different way. On your way to the restroom, you spot two ultra-life like figures depicting Adam and Eve in the Garden. They’re wearing only fig leaves. No one else is in that part of the room, and there are no cameras. No one will ever know if you peek under any of the fig leaves. So do you peek?
NEXT WEEK: YOUR questions begin coming back to haunt you! If you haven’t already submitted the question you’d like to see asked on a future edition of the “Saturday Six,” just go to Saturday Six: Episode 6 and leave your answers in the comment section for that week’s game.
My answers:
1. I like the phrase, “Maybe it’s just me…” and I think it would apply here, but I think my first choice is a saying I make use of from time to time: “It’s Always Something.” If, by the way, anyone decides to use either one, let me know: I’d like to visit your journal and see whether we agree.
2. I’m a loner, anyway, so there are times when “B” would be redundant. I think “C” would have the most appeal, because you have the chance to start over with everything…at least until right after the last commercial break when all goes back to normal.
3. I think it would be the 1930’s. I’d like to see what life was really like in the depression and I’d like to sit in a theater and watch a “Laurel & Hardy” film as it made its debut to see how the crowd reacted to the sight gags. Also, I have a strong curiosity to know what people did when there was no such thing as television. Surely they didn’t actually READ?!?
4. I’ve always been an autumn person. I like the fact that it’s not too hot and not too cool. Also, I like the colors as the leaves turn. Symbolically, there’s something sort of melancholy about autumn, and as I am quite good at being melancholy, I like that.
5. I knew it would have to be something of Alfred Hitchcock’s…it turns out that the oldest one I currenly own is “Murder!” from 1930.
6. Naturally.
