The Friday Five:

1. What food do you like that most people hate?

Possibly, yogurt (I don't know how many people actually hate it). Those flatbread crackers - the Swedish ones that I have been told by other people "taste like sandpaper." Cottage cheese.

2. What food do you hate that most people love?

Pork chops. Most fried stuff. Pickles.

3. What famous person, whom many people may find attractive, is most unappealing to you?

Bradd Pitt, also Madonna.

4. What famous person, whom many people may find unappealing, do you find attractive?

David Hyde Pierce. yes, that is an embarrassing assertion

5. What popular trend baffles you?

The whole "ringtones" phenomenon. Instant messaging - I really don't need to be reached that fast or easily. The decals that many people put on their rear car window of the little boy who looks like Calvin from "Calvin and Hobbs" peeing on some other thing (usually either a Chevy or Ford logo). Multiple piercings, but that's mostly because I'm seriously needle-phobic.

actually, many trends baffle me.

Not much knitting to report. I have turned the heel on the second of the Regia Norweiger socks. I will have to be careful washing this pair, they are the black-with-red design, and someone on the knitlist or socknitters list commented that the red ran badly. I may have to see if I can find one of those "dye magnet" things for the first time I wash them, or that other stuff...what is it called? Synthrapol? that supposedly absorbs/neutralizes the excess dye. I have noticed the red crocks a bit onto the lighter color, so I suspect it will run badly.
