    • Favorite Teacher

      • Woodcut of Socrates

        At my elementary school, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, we had a mix of nuns and lay teachers. The nuns were all old school, they were exceptional disciplinarians, I don't remember learning much beyond praying, singing and obedience. The lay teachers were the ones who encouraged and taught me my history, science and math. One stands out and that is Ms.Muroe. She taught science and I remember that she was teaching us evolution and the way she explained it launched me into the library because she had piqued my intellectual curiosity and I wanted more; more knowledge. I actually minored in Anthropology later on at NYU because that spark that she lit had never died out.

    • Top 5 Films

      • Willow Osgood

        I have two French films that come to mind instantly. My Father's Glory "La Gloire de mon Pere" and My Mother's Castle "Le Chateau de ma Mere"
        The remaining three are tough because there are the serious films that make you think and then there are the favorites that don't necessarily do anything but make you happy. The three that make me happy are:
        Princess Bride
        Willow
        Lady Hawke
        Serious films, I would say Philadelphia, Saving Private Ryan, Schindler's List. Then I think of science fiction and there are Star Wars, Fifth Element and Lord of the Rings. I know that I haven't answered the question correctly but oh well. These types of questions are just too difficult.

    • Smoking Bans

      • No Smoking

        This is a question that must have been locked in a time capsule because at least here in the States, smoking has been banned from more than just restaurants and bars. For example, in New York City, there is a new smoking ban in public parks and beaches. I quit smoking so it doesn't bother me but I feel for the other smokers who are made to feel like second class citizens. It's a tough addiction.
