Are you going to the midnight opening showing of Snakes on a Plane this week?</strong> No. The badness of it scares me. :p Blog about it. I will live vicariously. <strong>2. What 3 items would you want if you were trapped on a plane with deadly terrorist snakes?</strong> M-dog. She'd capture the snakes and make them beg for mercy. A venom-proof outfit, and snake poison. <strong>3. Oliver Stone’s “World Trade Center” movie, starring Nicolas Cage. Is it too soon?</strong> As long as there are survivors, it's "too soon". Raw nerves and all. <strong>4. Will you see it?</strong> Nah. being less than 70 blocks north during the actual event sort of killed it's amusement factor for me. <strong>5.

What do you order at Starbucks? (or you local coffee shop)</strong> Currently a small iced coffee, half decaf half regular. (if I'm at Starbucks) or if I'm at my neighborhood haunt, I usually order iced green tea or the new creation "Iced green tea latte" which is un.freaking.believable. <strong>10.
