Friday Five 1. What's one
1. What's one thing you've always wanted to do, but never have?
Build and paint my own harpsichord. Paint a fresco (anyone got a wall they will let me experiment on?).
2. When someone asks your opinion about a new haircut/outfit/etc, are you always honest?
What, are you nuts? Of course not.
3. Have you ever found out something about a friend and then wished you hadn't? What happened?
No.
4. If you could live in any fictional world (from a book/movie/game/etc.) which would it be and why?
I don’t know. I tend to like real places: San Francisco, Rome, Venice, Manhatten. The fictional world never seems to be as interesting. My favorite settings for fiction are real places and real times, described well. I am not even big on places that are utopianist: I find the cities of Brasilia and Canberra (and Washington, D. C. with its fantasy of Roman revivalism, to some extent), for instance to be hideous.
5. What's one talent/skill you don't have but always wanted?
To play the Bandoneon or lute.
