Questions are from kamalloy. If you want questions from me, post a comment and I'll get back to you. Side note, some of these answers are a bit flippant, they are also absolutely true, feel free to think I'm nuts. :P

1) If you could pick one, and only one, of James Bond's really cool gadgets for your very own, what would you choose?

Hmmm... Good question. And well worded, as if it was 'gadget from a James Bond movie' I'd so go with an orbital weapons platform. But one of his gadgets.

I'd say the car from Die another Day. Nice equipment, but most important it has optic camoflage, which is just awesome. Not to mention all the other features.

However, not sure if I'd qualify a car as a gadget, so my next choice would be the watch in Live and Let Die that can deflect bullets. Admittedly I'm almost positive that there's no way a watch could provide sufficient magnetic pull that it'd actually work, but that's what they say the watch would do, and it's a really cool feature.

Gadget that would actually work in the real world, that I don't know, I'll post a comment next time I go through a TnT bond-athon.

2) If you could run for any political office, which would it be? Or would you rather be an advisor to a high-ranking politician than hold office yourself? (It's a two part question, I know. I'm cheating. ;p)

( I wanna be the President of America... )

3) Let's say that somehow you can gain the powers of one of your role-playing characters. Which one's powerset would you end up with, and why?

For those who don't know, I've currently got three characters. Blayne: Loki cleric/illusionist, Haruko: Healer w/ a couple other powers that haven't been established in game yet, and Jinx: Gambler/Hired gun w/ extrodinary luck.

I'd go with Haruko. Blayne's the most powerful, and probably the most useful powerset, but it's currently tied up in Loki worship, and I really want no part of that. Jinx's powerset similarly has side effects that do not mesh well with my personality, even though they'd be one hell of a lot of fun.

And sorry to be a bit vague on the answer, if anyone wants specifics and isn't worried about spoilers for RSP or Arcana, feel free to ask.

4) If you were given the opportunity to go anywhere in the world with the Peace Corps, where would you go?

East Asia, not sure where exactly because as of yet I haven't done enough research to know what countries we're in and what we're doing there. Asia's gonna be the key continent of at least the next three decades, probably more unless Africa gets its act together. To the degree I focused on a region in my international relations studies, it was East Asia for just that reason, and so I'd like to pick up some more skills.

5) You've come up with the perfect plan for world domination. Would you actually go through with it, or figure that it's too much trouble and you'd probably end up giving the world back anyway after you'd won?

( Short answer, yes. )

Nonetheless, despite the number of qualifiers in this answer, I still want a bumper sticker that says 'visualize world domination'.

Slayers Stuff

Just got my scanner working for the first time since I bought it months ago, yay XP. Anyways, last year when I was in Japan I bought a cel of Lena that came with a pencil sketch. The pencil sketch was actually marked over with a red pencil, presumably it had been rejected, I touched it up to remove the lines in case you were wondering why it was editted.
