1. What is your favorite type of literature to read (magazine, newspaper, novels, nonfiction, poetry, etc.)?

I don't think magazines and newspapers really qualify as "literature", but they're not my favorite so I guess it doesn't matter.
I prefer fiction, mostly horror and science fiction. I also like a good collection of short stories or novellas.

2. What is your favorite novel?
The Stand, by Stephen King

3. Do you have a favorite poem? (Share it!)
No, I'm not much into poetry. ee cummings does some good stuff, but I'm not going to hunt it down for the sake of this post.

4. What is one thing you've always wanted to read, or wish you had more time to read?
I wish I had more time to read period. I spend so much time surfing that I don't read books near as much as I used to. Probably my number one desire is to spend more time doing Bible study, followed by finishing the LOTR series.

5. What are you currently reading?
Black House, by Stephen King and Peter Straub
The Fellowship of The Ring
An Incomplete Guide to the Rest of Your Life by Stan D. Gaede
Java Message Service
Cascading Style Sheets: The Definitive Guide

1. What did you have for breakfast this morning? If you didn't have breakfast, why not?
I had a pancake, half a link of sausage, a bacon and egg breakfast taco with pico de gallo, two cups of coffee and two glasses of OJ.
This morning was a "birthday celebration" for co-workers born in January and February. Usually we just have donuts or bagels on Friday, but today I got to grub.
2. What's your favorite cereal?

Although I ran across this when searching for a picture of the box:
"The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said that Kellogg USA has recalled a limited number of Kellogg's® Cracklin' Oat Bran® cereal products because they may contain undeclared egg, milk or soybeans and a limited number of Kellogg's® Smart Start® cereal club store packs because they may contain undeclared almonds and milk."
Nice...
3. How often do you eat out? Do you want that to change?
Three to seven times a week. I like to eat, so I don't really want it to change that much. I also like to cook, but it conflicts with my current laziness.
4. What do you plan on having for dinner tonight? Got a recipe for that?
Whiskey and coke. Mix equal parts whiskey and coke in glass with ice, stir, and enjoy.
I am chef'ing it up tomorrow night, making some red beans and rice and seafood gumbo. This will be my first take on the gumbo, so wish me luck.
5. What's your favorite restaurant? Why?
Hmm, that's tough. It really depends on what I'm in the mood for. I'd say two of my top choices are Austin Land & Cattle Company and Dirty Martin's Place.
