QotD: This Is When I'm At My Best

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.

QotD: Reality TV Star

nobody@vox.com(Alaina) — Thu, 03 Aug 2006 15:58:18 -0400

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.

QotD: Celebrational Muppetational!

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

Swedish Chef and lobsters

Beaker and the copy machine

Buddy Rich v Animal

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.
