A. P. Marki
INCLUDING the person who sent you this. So you should get back a lot of
get-to-know-you E-mails,too. You'll learn a lot about your friends that
you maybe didn't know! Please take 5 minutes out of your day to do this.
1. Name given at birth: Andrew Paul Marki
2. Nicknames: Andy. "Yo Mahki!" People don't generally refer to me!
3. Favorite Word: I never play favorites. Rewriting is hard enough without
having to edit out favorite words.
4. Hometown: Holmdel, NJ. Homey, huh?
5. Current Residence: For another few weeks, Binghamton, NY. Then I'm
free, free!
5b. Favorite Residence To Date: On the Navesink River and near the ocean
in Fair Haven, NJ.
6. Croutons or Bacon Bits: Croutons, from homemade French bread.
7. Favorite Salad Dressing: Tayfun's vinaigrette. Tay (like tie), a Turk
with a bushy moustache, taught me the zen of cooking. Well, was it zen or
maybe it was just the weed.
8. Shampoo or Conditioner: Is this a trick question? Suave. What I
haven't figured out: does it matter if I get the same "flavor" shampoo and
conditioner? Right now I'm using "aloe vera/honeysuckle fresh botanical
with thyme and jojoba."
9. Have you ever gone skinny dipping? Never. Went to the nude beach at
Sandy Hook, NJ.
10. Do you make fun of people: No longer. People are pretty funny,
though. :)
11. Favorite color: "Red. No -- blue! <boing>" (OCC).
12. Have you ever been convicted of a crime: The other day I was once
again accused of criminally neglecting my talents.
13. One pillow or two, cotton or feather: Two. One is the textured support
foam that has become so popular. However, after seeing the sleep expert on
Oprah, in my next home I am going to invest in a nice feather pillow.
14. Pets: none right now. One day (in my next home?) I would like to get
a pug. Even my cynical sister just got a three year old pug. (Gertrude,
"Gertie." What other dog can you call Gertrude?) Pugs are, as they say,
multum in parvo, which means either a lot of dog in a small package, or
more than you bargained for. They are rugged, loyal, sensitive,
unflappable, and have a great sense of humor. Yes, all qualities I'm
trying to nurture in myself. Did I mention pugs are cute? As the most
simpatico of pets, they have a certain way with women. I could learn a
thing or two. Is it the face or the curly tail?
15. Favorite type of music: The CDs I listen to these days as I fall
asleep are PJ Harvey, Glenn Gould, Tori Amos and Alanis Morissette.
Besides his universally acclaimed Bach, I am probably one of the few who
also listen to Gould's bizarre Mozart. Although Tori and Alanis are
touring together this August (including Holmdel, NJ [see question 4] and LA
[see 20]), many fans are devoted to one and despise the other. <shrug>
When I sit down at the piano, I am confined by talent and ambition to
struggling through the core drawing room canon, Bach, Mozart, Beethoven,
Brahms, Chopin. I also enjoy Debussy and Hindemith.
16. Hobbies: I bake breads and desserts, homebrew beer, work on my cars,
run eight miles a day and keep a windowbox herb garden. These are actually
chores, but maybe they rise to the level of hobbies. I also write computer
programs, fiction and (as of May 1) a screenplay. Since I'm
un(der)-employed, these vocations do descend to the mere hobbyhorsical.
Oh, and I read books. Maybe when I get my phd someone will pay me to do
that.
17. Favorite Toothpaste: Tom's of Maine, but I use Colgate Tartar Control
with Baking Soda and Peroxide because it's the right thing to do (according
to Consumer Reports).
18. Favorite Food: Hmm. It all tastes so good! I will say that several
weeks after discovering my favorite breakfast cereal, and at a great price,
Wegman's Food You Feel Good About Golden Goodness, an organic multigrain
flake "lightly sweetened with fruit juice," it was pulled from the shelves.
Subtle, complex, rich in multigrain overtones, it was everything I wanted
in a flake. Sigh. My only solace is that they don't have Wegman's where
I'm going anyway.
19. Do you get along with your parents: I've developed a fine post-oedipal
relation with my remaining parent. (It doesn't even bother me that it took
my mother six months to get online with her iMac. Or that she bought a
parallel-interface hp printer instead of a USB Epson without asking my
advice. Or...) I'm still working through some stuff with my deceased
father.
20. Favorite town to chill in: LA. Haven't had a chance to actually chill
there yet, though. The title sequence for the disappointing new sitcom
"It's Like, You Know..." shows a driver's eye view of LA. That's the
truest image of the whole show. It struck me the way a picture of a famous
landmark makes one nostalgic for a city, like the Dom in Cologne, or the
Tour d'Eiffel, Brandenburger Tor, Big Ben, St Peter's, Piazza San Marco.
I'd even add: the World Trade Center towering across the water.
21. Favorite Ice Cream: Rum Raisin. (homemade of course, extra rum)
21b. Favorite Ice Cream (non Alcoholic): Coffee.
22. Favorite Drink (non Alcoholic): Coffee.
23. Adidas, Nike or Reebok: Nike Air Pegasus for running. Reebok for tennis.
24. Favorite Perfume/Cologne: Alas, none. Nobody cares what I smell like.
At least I haven't offended any strangers.
25. Favorite Website: apple.com. I just downloaded MacOS 8.5.1. I'd love
to have one of them mouthwatering fruit flavored iMacs. And I enjoy wading
through all those tech notes. Also "A Dent in the Tori Amos Net Universe"
<http://members.aye.net/~mikewhy/torimain.html> and "A Patti Smith
Babelogue" <http://www.oceanstar.com/patti/>.
26. Favorite Subject in School: Third Grade Art Class with Phyllis Hemphill.
27. Least Favorite Subject: Anything after grade school.
28. Favorite Alcoholic Drink: Quality beer (euro lagers, rich brown ales,
hearty stouts, wheat beers, unusual spiced recipes [coriander!]). But I
also love a dry white wine, or a good fruity Burgundy. Or quality vodka
straight, good cognac, ouzo, or slivovitz (in honor of the "crisis over
Kosovo"; I'll drink to any side that brings peace and civil tranquillity).
These are just my favorites. Did I mention Tequila?
29. Favorite Sport to Watch: tennis or Yankee baseball.
29b. Favorite Sport Watch: Seiko.
30. Humiliating Moment: My first grade teacher yelled at me for not paying
attention during a math lesson. You know, the kind where you have three
apples and are given two oranges. I was reading a book in the carpeted
reading corner, and I'd swear to this day she'd told me to keep on reading.
When I went up to her later with a question about the math workbook, she
chewed me out. I slunk away to the little toilet and heard her sneer after
me: Oh you're just going in there to cry! It wasn't the first time I
wished I were dead, but it's the first time I remember thinking clearly
that one day I'd do something about it. I sat on the tile floor and stared
at my face distorted in the chrome doorknob.
31. Craziest idea or silliest: That I might be the one. Not in the sense
Keanu Reeves means in THE MATRIX. Just the one for her.
32. Say one nice thing about the person who sent this to you:
>Kristen is a lovely, hilarious girl who is just plain crazy sometimes.
>She's a rule-breaker, a heart-breaker, dream-maker. She has a passion for
>life and will not be bossed around. She's very independent and seems to
>like it that way. She has great knockers.
Every word of this also applies to Sasha. Especially the great knockers,
even now that Emma has had her way with them. But I wouldn't want to
instigate -- or aggravate -- any cine-l rivalries.
Sasha is the best person I know.
She also has more talent in her little finger etc... Talk about criminal
neglect!
33. Person you sent this to that is least likely to respond: Everyone who
can't think of even one nice thing to say about me in reply to question 32,
and prefer therefore to say nothing at all.

time I visited the country. They had some wonderful dishes to simulate the
flavors of duck, chicken and fish, all handmade from soy products. As my
mother's family is Chinese (with many Buddhists in the family), I grew up
with a lot of vegetarian versions of meat type dishes. I have not found them
to be lacking in flavor or texture.

Well, I do eat meat but I eat soy bacon bits because they taste
better than real bacon bits and I love the crunch in some of my
eaten-cold dishes. I also use tofu in many dishes and I've
never thought of it as a "substitute". I eat it because I like
it and because it's such great protein.

That's funny. :-) I've never been asked that question when I
ordered a veggie burger but I'd answer in the same way if I were
(and I'm a medium-rare eater when it comes to meat). Btw, do
you use TVP (textured vegetable protein). I just heard about it
recently (haven't tried it yet) but hear it is very tasty.

Yes, saw and really enjoyed "Eat Drink Man Woman". Also, one of
my faves in what to me is foreign films was "Like Chocolate for
Water"...another great 'food' movie.

There are some people (me included) who like the option of eating a
healthful, non animal based product that is similar to the foods we grew up
with. To me, these monks are creating almost an artform in translating some
of these dishes into non-flesh equivalents. After all, these dishes are not
really made for those who eat meat. If you ever come and visit Los
Angeles, I'll drive you to Monterey Park and treat you to lunch at one of the
Chinese restaurants that offer menus full of these dishes (one place in
particular has close to 100 dishes of this type). I'm quite sure you'll
enjoy it. And it will be my treat!

couple (I'm white) at the St. Louis Zoo in front of a crowd of people
because I asked to see their train tickets. I was the train conductor for
the miniature amusement-like ride and was asking everyone for their tickets

32. Say one nice thing about the person who sent this to you: Sent to the
cinema listserv by a Sasha, who is very knowledgable about film. This list
as a whole is interesting and eclectic. Where else could I argue the merits
of Star Wars, learn about post-modernism, hear Mark rant and rave over the
term "British," or learn about great cities to visit in this country
(U.S.)!
