Have you ever been out of the country? Where? Not as much as I would like. I've been to Canada -- to Winnipeg quite a few times and to the Banff National Park area, mainly because my father loves hiking. I've also been to Bermuda and a few Caribbean islands (e.g. St. Maarten, Guadalupe, Barbados) thanks to cruise ships. I would absolutely love to visit Italy and Germany someday, ideally during Oktoberfest.
What's your favorite song? It really is difficult to pick just one, but I hate when people answer questions asking for their favorite song or band with a laundry list of items, so... probably "Soma" by the Smashing Pumpkins. To me, the song sounds perfectly and meticulously crafted with all of its guitar tracks and its shifts in intensity at the right moments. There are so, so many other songs that I like probably just as much, though, although this song was the first to come to mind.
Favorite Chess lyrics? Svetlana's lines near the end of "You and I."
"You knew better than me where your ambitions would take us... First thing you plan to do when you get to New York in August? I'll probably walk around for a while just to soak it all in. I've obviously been to NYC many times before, but I can't wait to actually call it home.
Since that's a lame answer... I also intend to hit quite a few ethnic restaurants (we're sorely lacking in that department here) and shop like mad.
