Guest Post! Birthday questions with Tress!

 Hello, Readers! I hope everyone is having a lovely week. Reading Challenge Co-Conspirator is visiting me this week as it is our birthday week. We've done a lot of interesting things thus far. The day after she arrived, we went to an Alice in Wonderland-themed Escape Room. Most of the week has been spent on my living room couch watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer season 4 and Angel season 1.  Today was pretty exciting. We went to downtown Minneapolis and watched a live performance of Wicked. There were alcoholic drinks to be had, which was great because we were surrounded by flying monkeys... I mean, children in summer camp programs that are very well behaved and chaperoned. Fun fact, you get dirty looks if you refer to children as flying monkeys within their hearing. 

Anyway, here's Tress and I at our seats, enjoying a cocktail before the show. It was called The Wizard's Green Elixir. It had Vodka, Green Apple Schnapps, and Sierra Mist. 

Alrighty, so on to more Birthday Shenanigans. We wanted to do a fun thing since we're actually celebrating together and have come up with some questions to ask each other. Below are Tress's answers. You can find my answers on her blog at https://songstress7.wordpress.com/.

1.) What are your Guilty Pleasures?

Book Genre: Probably cheesy YA romance.  They're easy, quick reads and rarely make me think, which can be nice sometimes.

TV Show: Aside from rewatching Buffy the Vampire Slayer for the umpteenth time, I'd have to say...  Glee?  No, it's rewatching Buffy the Vampire Slayer for the umpteenth time.

Youtube, Patreon, or Podcast:  YouTube reaction channels.  I subscribe to wayyyy too many.

Food:  Coastal English Cheddar cheese.   Seriously amazing stuff.

Song: Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson.  That song is catchier than it has any right to be.

2.) What is your favorite book?  Is it cheating to say the entire Wheel of Time series?  Probably.   In that case, let's go with The Stand by Stephen King.

3.) What is your most hated song? Ohhh, that's an easy one.  One that very few people have heard unless you were raised in charismatic churches that like scripture-based songs that sound Jewish.  The song Blow the Trumpet in Zion gets under my skin every time I hear it, mostly because I think the way it's presented makes it sound like a triumphant anthem when it's a dire warning about the people of God being judged for their sins by an invading army of locusts.   

4.) Who is your favorite Actor or Actress? Iain de Caestecker, who deserves much more recognition than he's gotten so far.  He was impressive as heck on Agents of SHIELD, and BBC has been snagging him for drama after drama recently.  I hope to see him in higher profile stuff soon.

5.) What is your favorite Game?  Disney's Villainous - it's a fun little strategy game where you can play as one of several different Disney villains, and each player has their own game board and card decks to achieve their different win conditions while trying to thwart their opponents.  Good times!
