the 366 meme, part nine: Feb 26-Mar 3
Mar. 4th, 2020 12:25 amFeb 26: What’s a belief that you hold that most people probably disagree with? Many Eurovision songs are worth listening to outside the actual contest.
Feb 27: Winter is soup time. What’s your favorite kind of soup? (Please post the recipe or source?) Coin flip between cream of mushroom (from scratch, not Campbell's) or tomato basil. No recipes, as my favorites aren't soups we make in my household -- the soup/stew we make all the time involves several cans of beans, a can of tomatoes, a bag of frozen greens, some diced cooked chicken or pork, whatever vegetables are in the fridge that need eating, cumin, garlic, onion, and a few cups of broth.
Feb 28: If you learn that a celebrity of whom you are a fan of has done something horrible, does it affect your ability to enjoy works they previously produced? Often. I'm certainly less likely to give them the benefit of the doubt for things I found iffy in their work, and I'm much less inclined to look for their future work. On the other hand, if the work still stands on its own, I might still be able to enjoy it -- one of my very favorite movies stars a voice actor who holds attitudes I find reprehensible, but they do their character well, and the rest of the movie is fabulous. And of course a lot depends on what the celebrity does in response -- do they brush it off or make only a token penance, or were they working to atone for the act even before it became publicly known, and do they continue to do so?
Feb 29: If you were given an extra day every year to do whatever you want, what would you do? Spend it alone in my house -- knitting, puttering, writing, etc.
Mar 1: Let’s do some pseudo-science! What’s your Enneagram type? https://www.eclecticenergies.com/enneagram/test Test 1 is more comprehensive, but long. Test 2 is pretty accurate and much quicker. Both versions put me in Type 5, Investigator. The long one has me closer to the 6-Loyalist side; the short one closer to the 4-Individualist side.
Mar 2: What’s your favorite candy bar? Endangered Species Black Panther Strong+ Velvety 88% Dark Chocolate.
Mar 3: What city or other location were you born in? Earth. (aka None of your business, Internet.)
