Are you a morning person or a night owl?

I was out of bed before 7 this morning and it's a Saturday and I don't have kids. I believe that makes me a morning person.

What is your favorite cover song?
Question submitted by Ray.

I really enjoy Nouvelle Vague's album of cover songs especially their cover of Joy Division's Love Will Tear Us Apart. I don't know that it's my favorite cover, but it definitely is a fun one.

If you could be on any reality TV show, which one would you pick and why?

The Amazing Race! Why? Because it's a race around the world! And because Anil and I make a killer team and would totally destroy the competition. We're smart, patient, get along well with others, not afraid to eat weird things, and most importantly we actually like each other. I think liking each other and the overall lack of drama or fighting in our relationship would prevent us from ever getting cast.

Who is your favorite Muppet? Why?
QotD submitted by knitwitology.vox.com.

It was really hard for me to pick a favorite muppet because they all are so endearing in their individual ways so I didn't, but these clips highlight 3 of my favorite muppet moments.

Swedish chef and lobster: crazy chef + armed lobsters. I think it's obvious why this is a favorite.

Beaker and the copy machine: More Beakers = More funny.

Buddy Rich vs Animal: the real reason I've always wanted to be a drummer.
