His horse. He got the girl, remember!
Sherlock Holmes?
Aye, I am not a huge fan but some of his stories are intersting
Edgar Allan Poe
Aye, but I've read pretty much nothing by him.
The taste of your own blood?
Nay. Salty water. Big deal.
Tan lines?
On myself I don't care at all (possibly because i don't tan at all), on females they get the biggest aye possible.
Yoga pants (worn as real pants)?
On women? No, nothing special. On me, I wouldn't know.
"Power yoga"?
Aye I never done power yoga before but it sounds like it could be intersting.
Going to the gym
Sure, have a great time.
Dachshunds?
Aye, as pets I prefer larger dogs but in general I love all dogs really
Camping
Nay. My one camping experience as a child was enough of a disaster to put me off it forever.
Summer camp
Nay, too structured (well, the one's i went to).
Independent films/movies?
Aye, I love them
Foreign films
totally aye...went three times to two different camps as a kid, and worked athletic camps for 7 summers in the late 90s into the early 2000s. on the whole, they are good places that provide positive experiences.
internet file (music and movies) sharing?
oh man, I was slow again!
foreign films---id say aye, but I think the best ones are still in America.
internet file (music and movies) sharing?
Yeach, I like free music but I can see the artist's point...
Watch shows on your computer?
Okay. I saw Wolf Hall that way and it was great. Lawrence of Arabia wouldn't have worked. So I guess it depends.
p.s. My computer is an Ipad, so maybe that affects the answer.
Using terms like ie, e.g., sic, etc. ?
aye for when required by academia, nay for otherwise.
really really hot peppers?
Yes, but they really, really don't love me back.
Nescafé?
Nay
Green tea
aye, especially ones with neat flavors like lemon jasmine.
V8 (the drink, not the engine)?
Aye, I like the V8 fruit juices
Energy drinks
Nay.
Steamed clams?
Nay. Like mine fried.
Frog's legs?
Yes, although it's more polite to call them French. (:))
George Smiley?
I'll leave that for someone else since I don't know who he is.
Excited about J.D Salinger's soon to be published books?
Aye to J.D. Salinger
George Smiley is a tough one but I think I am going to have to go with Nay, I tried reading Tinker Tailor Solider Spy and couldn't get into it and I fell asleep during the movie.
Hipsters
Pffft, nay, even though I'm often accused of being one... because everyone who likes reading and non radio music is a hipster to some people haha.
It's a Wonderful Life or A Christmas Carol?
A Christmas Carol. It has ghosts and a Grim Reaper and it isn't like 5 hours long
Classical Music
Yea
Country Western?
Nay
Renaissance Fair
Nay
Shakespeare?
Of course.
Thackeray?
Fraid I haven't read him yet.
D.H Lawrence?
Thackeray's one of those writers who didn't really understand when his work was good (and not). I've been thinking of rereading Vanity Fair lately. I loved it the first time, but that was long ago.
I take Lawrence with an enormous grain of salt, since I have personally put a lot of his modernist guff behind me. But he is a brilliant (if self-tortured) writer, so aye.
Round hippy glasses on women?
I just recently read Women in Love and really liked it. I'll probably get around to Vanity Fair as I'm on a novel kick right now and really I just love novels, though I'm trying to distance myself from them a little.
No to modernism eh? So how about...
Eliot?
Haha and nay to round hippy glasses most of the time.
Not modernism per se, but Lawrence's ideas about the physical/phallic over the ideal is no longer something that has much meaning for me. If did once, though.
And as far as hippy glasses go, nostalgia burns bright.
Eliot gets an aye-ish because his poetry is quaint--exactly what he didn't want it to be when he wrote it.
Henry Miller?
Boo, I love Eliot.
I read half of Tropic of Cancer before losing it on a train, but I wasn't exactly in love with it. Also, and this isn't totally Henry Miller's fault, but I read a book of short stories a bit later by Anais Nin and found them to be pretty sucky.
Light nay, but I do plan to finish a Miller book so I'll get back to you (also my cousin's name is Henry Miller, true story).
C.S Lewis?
Oh sure. Sitting by a fire in my cardigan--after I'm done with Eliot. :p
The smell of wet wool?
Haha
And nay to the smell of wet anything... unless it's grass or the ocean or a forest or something.
Swimming in very cold lakes, rivers or oceans?
Yes, off the Maine coast, if I get to be 16 again when I do it.
Watermelons?
