Underachievement Unlocked

My life: a lot of potential and very little realization.

Very few posts on this blog, as well. But you might find some entertaining stuff if you go back a few years in the archives.

1. If a movie was made about your life, what actor should play your part?

He would have to be an outstanding actor, the kind who transforms crap into gold. I mean, otherwise, the audience would be dead bored, and I’d be offended. Or else he’d have to be amazingly beautiful, and naked throughout the whole movie. But it wouldn’t be my life anymore. (Because I’m not a naturist.) At least it’d be interesting, and I could hang out on the set all the time, and he’d want to know me better so he could understand my character, and… must be weird sleeping with someone who’s supposed to personify you.

Anyway, who? I guess it’s up to others to tell. And this is not me asking for your opinions, because I’m sure half the answers would vex me.


2. What is the weather anchor really useful for?

To fill up air time, I suppose. On TF1, they employ people with a strange sense of humor; on Canal+ they show breast-girls. But in both cases it serves no real purpose. I never watch the weather reports anyway. And Canal+’s Thal(l?)ia has an absolutely unbearable voice.

Mmm… bad calculation—I’d better write Thalia (Thallia ?), and it’ll get me lots of new visitors from Google. Does Google reduce the weight of words that appear in the same sentence as Google? It should.


3. How long does it generally take you between the time you get angry, and the time you realize it was trifle?

I don’t get angry about trifle businesses. Shut up. Are you trying to mess with me? You talking to me? You talking to me? Even in writing, I don’t know how to play anger. I never get angry. The most I can do is sulk. But the question is about anger, so it doesn’t apply.


4. Looking in your environment, can you give out an example of indecency?

There isn’t anyone in my environment not reading my blog, so I guess I’ll pass on this question, thanks.


5. What money games do you, or could you play?

Is that about games where you can win money, or where you can lose some? For the former, I try and play a free online lottery as often as I can; for the latter, except a lottery ticket once in a while (quite rarely actually), I don’t play, and I don’t bet. I hate the idea of losing money so stupidly.


6. What aspect of your life won’t you ever reveal in your blog?

Heh. Lots and lots of things. Basically, everything that’s not so pretty, and I won’t get into detail here either, because I don’t want to give out any clues. And yet, there’d be some material there…


7. If a virus destroyed all the data on your hard drive, what file would you regret most?

I’d miss everything: emails, IRC logs, pictures, Photoshop source files, and all the other stuff. I always keep everything, and the idea of losing it frightens me. Well, I know I’d survive, but still it would be quite stressful. There’s no hierarchy, everything’s important, because these files make up all my life over half a dozen years. Oh boy, I can’t believe I just wrote that. Let me just get my head in the oven, and I won’t be right back.
