I've been busy working on a new short story that is due on Tuesday. It's a ghost story, and is harder than hell to write. So I don't have a lot to say today. Between writing and reading David Carr's Night of the Gun, I got nothing.

Would you rather be rich or famous? Why?
Submitted by Chris Vaughn.

Rich, because I don't want to deal with the paparazzi. Anyway, I have more to tell you than the lame-o question of the day.

A recent study suggests that radiation from cell phones may cause cancer; what, if any, cell phone usage precautions will you take in light of this information?

I was going to make a point about how very little I use my cellphone by posting the minutes I used from 6/22/08 to 7/19/08, but then I looked and it was 221 minutes which is kind of a lot. At least for me. Of course, a majority of those minutes were used yakking it up during phone interviews (for a job I did not get, boo). Then there was the 79-minutes, semi-yearly check-in call with the TTHM.

I just checked the lifetime minute usage of my phone and it seems since I've had this phone I've talked 46 hours, 40 minutes, and 48 seconds. That's like two days of the past year or so I've wasted talking on the phone. How sad.

Anyway, my usage won't change. I don't talk on the phone all that much, mostly I used my cellphone to text message or check my e-mail.

What is the meaning behind your birth name?
Submitted by turtlegod.

I believe the Latin meaning of Jodi is beautiful, intelligent goddess with impeccable taste who is often right.

The Native American meaning is she who dances with doofuses.

I believe the Hebrew meaning is praised.

All quite fitting.

Who is your favorite game show host of all time?

Wink Martindale. What the hell kind of lameass question of the day is this?

What is your preferred method of transportation for trips over a couple of hours and why?

Stick shifts and safety belts
bucket seats have all got to go
when we're driving in the car
it makes my baby seem so far
I need you here with me
not way over in a bucket seat.

Where do you go for advice?

• Everyday I sit at home waiting for the phone to ring. Kelly's eyes, Kelly's eyes, Kelly's eyes, pretty girl, oh so fine, don't you know I dream about you all the time [this is super awesome because I have two good friends named Kelly and one sister Kelli]
  
• Tracy when I'm with you, something you do, bounces me off the ceiling. Tracy day after day when you're this way I get a lovin' feeling
• Jodie even the wind says your name girl, when I think of you, I'm aflame girl, everytime, Jodie girl I tried but I can't forget
• Hey Julie, look what they're doing to me, trying to trip me up, trying to wear me down, Julie I swear it's so hard to bear it and I'd never make it through without you around
• Allison, I know this world is killing you, oh Allison, my aim is true
• Maria you're still wild and restless and I can just see ya riding in a rodeo, you might even make it down to texas
• Ericka Kane another Emmy's passed you buy, Ericka Kane when joy was pain you had to cry, Ericka if I was the man to dry your eyes
• Ben the two of us need to look no more, we both found what we were looking for, with a friend to call my own, I'll never be alone and you my friend will see, you've got a friend in me
• In touch with the ground, I'm on the hunt Im after you. Smell like I sound, I'm lost in a crowd and I'm hungry like the wolf(dogg)
• Hey Kari Ann, what's your game now, can anybody play?
  
• Chasing Heather crazy, chasing Heather crazy, making sure that all the world is coming down, all the world is coming down on her
• If I could talk I'd tell you. If I could smile I'd let you know, you are far and away, my most imaginary friend
  

There is a natural disaster headed your way. You get 4 standard sized canvas grocery totes to fill with valuables and provisions to bring with you to a safe place. What would you put into your 4 bags and why?

My Make-up, my compact, lipstick, and shit like that
And the keys that I keep on a chain
My cigarettes and your lighter too
And a picture of my sister
God you think we're one in the same

Well a photo of my mother too
And all the guys who date me
And my high school graduation ring
And a check stub from the place I work
Some poetry from some
Stupid jerk who's tryin' to
Steal my heart away from you

Nutter Butters to anyone who can name that tune.

I am a farmer who raise ducks and cows. The animals have a total of 9 heads and 26 feet. How many ducks and cows do I have?

Do we give it up? (I don't know)
Should we give it hell? (I don't know)
Are you makin' a fortune? (I don't know)
Or don't you wanna tell? (I don't know)
Should we give it up? (I don't know)
Or hang around some more? (I don't know)
Should we buy some beer? (I don't know)

I actually do know the answer, but only because The Pope posted first. And Crunch, since I know you are musically challenged, it's a lyric by The Replacements.

What question do you wish you'd never asked.

Would you be an outlaw for my love?

Yes! The song lyrics continue, and it's a legitimate answer. The thing I hate more than the fact that The Outlaw broke my heart is that I wasted such a good nickname on him. Never trust a redhead.
