Probably thirty or forty times in a sauna.

Twice, maybe three times.
Twice also in a Lakota Sweat lodge -- inipi -- wonderful.

What is the best time travel book you have read or movie you have seen?
1. I tried two once, couldn't. edit: Pike Bishop, best time travel book was The Forever War.
That's a pretty low silly-video count.
How many guests is too many at your wedding?
Hehe I had to look it up, thinking it might be The Big Time. . . that's a far less-well known sci-fi of a somewhat similar nature. . sort of minor sci-fi author but my family lived across the hall from him, once, so I am familiar with his work a little.
I would definitely like to have a small wedding; probably 20 would be the upper limit. Maybe fewer. Would still want to make it awesome, but I don't enjoy large crowds very much. . even in a wedding. Love people (a lot, I am one, lol), just not crowds of people.
How many castles have you written about?
Castles? Have I written about? None, really.
How many kisses until satiety?
Haha nice, I would say one; but only one person can kiss that well. . .
How many times have you felt a strong desire to travel to the stars?
none really...but im a huge star trek fan and I love the enterprise and captain picard and the whole idea of exploration...
how many times in your life have been really embarrassed?
why pompey, that made me smile...but then I have to ask, can you tell me what it is about me or what ive posted that leads you to think that?Quote:

How many hours at a screen per day on average?
Exactly the right amount. :-)
How many stars could you name off the top of your head, if you had to guess?
Polaris. Sol. Alpha Centauri. Beta Centauri, and I think I'm done. so 4.
How many tracks does your favorite album have?
Cool I can add Lyra to that list. :-)
How many albums does your favorite aritst have (have they produced*)?
Dylan's one of my favorite performers. He has 36 studio albums, but a lot of them stink. Elliott Smith has 7 counting posthumous. My Bloody Valentine have 3, Radiohead 8, and Toe have 1. I'm just flat out avoiding artists with huge discographies, Miles Davis, Gould, Barenboim, Karajan, or composers.
How many hugs makes a cuddle?
Haha, very good idea. :-)
I'm a tremendous fan of Dylan too.. and cross-over work with many other of my favorite artists.
I hadn't even thought of composers, either; that's a good point.
Definitely 3 seems like the right answer.
How many cats are you best friends with?
None :( though a stranger drops by my house occasionally.
How many rolls of sushi in one meal?
4 seems a good number. . .I am not sure if it's correct though.
Enlighten?
How many times each day do you drink a glass of water?
3-6 glasses of water. I don't even like sushi, myself.
How many chili peppers in your pot of chili?
Ah, I see. :)
Now you've gotten the one I can never enjoy. . . have a very sensitive palate and chilis are the one that I only enjoy in small amounts. . . although I love Indian food, so I got used to it a little. Chili for some reason I never liked either.
How many times have you found a piece of technology in nature, where you'd never though you'd find one?
Change that **** right now. If your average is four you aren't drinking nearly enough water. Other fluids aren't good enough.Quote:

Woah, okay Meister Water Nazi. Why so concerned?
Cause, lol, it's the lamest reason to be unhealthy ever, just drink more water, it takes almost zero effort.
If it makes you happy I had five large bottles today. I think 3-6 was a pretty lowball estimate anyways.
Kk, continuing the game: Nikolai, I think my answer is... zero.
How many art museums have you visited?
maybe ~10-12---the most notable being the Smithsonian (although, maybe not technically "art?"), the louvre, the rodin museum (which I loved!), and the dutch national museum in Amsterdam. the oddest maybe being a cartoon art museum in Westchester county (ny).
I wanna put in some answers to pike's question about time travel.
the star trek episode with called city on the edge of forever is worth watching. star trek first contact, and star trek the voyage home are both time travel movies and are also worth watching. the first movie in the recent reboot, is also time travel related, and well, I just love star trek. and if you are a fan, you might also enjoy the deep space nine episode where they travel back to the time of the original series and find themselves in the trouble with tribbles episode; the episode is called trials and tribble-ations. its pretty neat even just from a cinematic perspective (a la forrest gump) there are other star trek time travel episodes, but those are the biggies.
also---the most recent x-men, days of future past is an excellent time travel movie, highly recommend it!
bookwise---I really enjoyed a Connecticut yankee in king Arthur's court by twain.
how many scenes from movies do you have that you would consider amongst your all time favorite scenes? (and id love to hear about them)
1. The moment Darth Vader tells Luke he's his father in The Empire Strikes Back.
2, Roy Batty telling Deckard all the beautiful things he saw in his short life before his death in Blade Runner.
3. The three protagonists in Office Space bashing the evil xerox machine to the sound of the Geto Boys.
4. John Wayne walking down the dark hall of his dream home in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, knowing his dream is through.
5. Ripley in Alien singing her way out of fear in her final confrontation with the Alien.
6. The kiss in The Invasion of the Body Snatchers telling the horrified hero he is truly all alone.
How many rock albums truly qualify as masterpieces, and which ones are they?
Favourite scenes from movies? I rarely think in terms of favourite scenes, but lets see what I'll come up with
1) Rome, Open City: when Anna Magnani and the boy run in the street
2) Le cercle rouge: the chase after the escape from the train, some magnificent cinematography.
3) Godfather I: Baptism scene
4) Hunger (Steve McQueen 2008) - the conversation with the priest
5) Apocalypse Now: Ride of the Valkyries, the surfing and napalm
Mostly this list goes to show that thinking of it after a long period has passed from seeing the movie, you end up with a list of mostly grand showpiece scenes, as it's hard to remember the less obviously significant little jewels.
E: Apparently, 17 . . .
Who's Next - The Who
DSOTM - Pink Floyd
Machine Head - Deep Purple
Dire Straits
Hendrix: Axis, Are You Experienced
Queen: II, ANATO, Sheer Heart Attack
Genesis: Selling England By the Pound
Stevie Wonder: Innervisions
Beatles: Abbey Road, White Album, Sgt Pepper
Dylan: Blonde on Blonde
Beach Boys: Pet Sounds, Smile
I'll have to repeat the question of the movie scenes
Don't you mean the baptism scene in The Godfather?
Yes of course, I don't know how that 'II' got in there.Quote:

Lawrence is being driven away from camp, and a stupidly cheerful driver leans over and says, "Well, sah, goin' 'ome!"; and Lawrence looks at him with dead eyes and says something like: "Mmm?"; and the driver says, "'Ome, sah!"; as a motorcycle passes them (the first scene being Lawrence's death in a motorcycle crash in England).
3. Since, I've got my mind on David Lean Films, I also love the scene in Doctor Zhivago in which Zhivago, having broken off his secret love affair with Laura (of which he is deeply ashamed), is waylaid by Red partisans on a narrow road between two great stands of pine:
Officer: Comrade Doctor, I need a medical officer.
Zhivago: I'm sorry, I have a wife and child in Varykino.
Soldier: And a mistress in Yuriatin!
He never see's his family again, although he later learns that his (beloved) wife believed that he left her for Laura.
Who is your favorite film director?
Martin Scorsese
Are the Lord of the Rings and/or A Song of Ice and Fire literature, and, if so, why?
(is that a 'how many' question? ;) )
I haven't read the latter one(s), but of course they're literature - they aren't music or paintings, are they? ;)
How many favourite film directors do you have?
Yes, my bad. Just one: Bergman (you can technically only have one favorite of anything, right?) :)
How many times have you read The Lord of the Rings?
