Oh my! I’ve been tagged! Twice!

This provocative act was perpetrated by two individuals: the comely time-traveller Sierra Waters, and the intrepid Canadian astronaut-activist rocker RE-VO, both of whom have intriguing tag lists in their blogs!

I now have to tell ten unknown things about myself, and tag ten others. Here goes!

1. My favorite color is Martian red.

2. My favorite city is the horribly dystopic future Los Angeles in Bladerunner. Something about acid rain, strange polyglot languages, and renegade replicants gets me all hot and bothered!

3. For me, a good science-fiction novel is like taking a wonderful drug that lasts dozens of hours (I’m a slow reader).

4. I have twelve fingers…no, just kidding. Okay, only ten (both hands).

5. I have a tattoo of the Enterprise just above my caboose. (If you’re thinking you’d like to go where no man has gone before, forget it…).

6. Capt. Kirk was my first crush (re-runs).

7. Spock was my second.

8. The Russian brothers Boris and Arkady Strugatsky are my favorite science-fiction authors (see Roadside Picnic, Escape Attempt, etc.).

9. Vernor Vinge, Arthur C. Clarke and John Varley are in a dead heat for second place.

10. A perfect date for me is a walk along the beach, a sushi dinner, a sci-fi movie (in the cinema), and then a ride on the space shuttle. If anyone can arrange that, I will go out with them!
