this or that?

[Queen Victoria]

Music from the 60's or the 70's?
[/quote]

Just about any century before the 20th.  If I had to choose it would be the 60's becausae it was mostly rock and roll until the late mid 60's.



Apples or bananas?

['andersom']

Depends a lot on my mood. Do eat more apples than bananas though. So I'll go for apples.

Do you prefer darkness or light outside at night?

[Phoenix]

Darkness. It's the one time when it doesn't feel over stimulating.

When you fall asleep at night do you like background noise or quiet?

[Queen Victoria]

Background noise, but I can't have it.  If I do then I tend to ignore the clock radio telling me to get up.  Even with the radio turned to alarm.


Unicycle or roller skates?

[renaeden]

Roller skates. I can roller skate and ice skate. Though I don't like the consequences of falling on ice.

Do you prefer a tiled floor in your house or a carpeted floor?

[lutra]

Of the two I'd go for a tiled floor.. but then with some loose rugs here and there probably. Most liked is a real wooden floor though.

Art/paintings: surrealism.. or.. impressionism?

[odeon]

Impressionism (another way of saying "you have a funny way of seeing things")

John or Paul?

['andersom']

St. Paul, can't stand the writing style of st. John.

"His dark Materials" or "Lord of the Rings"?

[Walkie]

St. Paul, can't stand the writing style of st. John.

"His dark Materials" or "Lord of the Rings"?

Definitely Lord of the Rings.  the Dark Materials trilogy is a temproary would-be classic, methinks.  It's way too cynical, in too adult a way and tries too hard to be clever.  Proper fantasy draws out the underlying meaning in mythological material.   Pulman too often descends into taking the piss.


Since we're being literary:

T.S. Eliot or Wendy Cope?

(In case ya don't know her,  here's one of her Wasteland Limericks:
In April one seldom feels cheerful;
Dry stones, sun and dust make me fearful;
Clairvoyantes distress me,
Commuters depress me--
Met Stetson and gave him an earful. )

[Phoenix]

Impressionism. When I look at surrealism all I see is distortion and it bugs me.

Couch or recliner chair?

[Arya Quinn]

Impressionism. When I look at surrealism all I see is distortion and it bugs me.

Couch or recliner chair?

Couch so my dog can jump up and get cuddles.

Sweet or salted popcorn?

[Queen Victoria]

Salted popcorn


Red or blue?

[Walkie]

deep cobalt blue would be nice but may I put a few little splashes of red in, for contrast?
answer Walike's poetry question?  (up there ^) or give a third answer to Lutra's art question? 

['andersom']

Wendy Cope, because the poem made me grin.

I have enjoyed Elliott, but that was over three decades ago.

@ Walkie, funny how you read Pullman as cynical. I found him not cynical at all. Should myself opt for a third option though; "Duncton Wood".

New this or that:

Coffee or tea in the morning?

[Phoenix]

Tea please

Lay in bed and watch tv or lay in bed and read a book?
