Christina's questions for July

Yes, last month's questions :)

1. Five items you are most likely to buy at a convenience store.

Substiting Convenience Store for 'local supermarket type place that doesn't have a large range but is open a lot'. Milk, Bread, (Fabric Softener, not really!), potato crisps/chips, chocolate, sugar.

2. Tell me about the last book you read. If you read more than one book a week, tell me about either the one that turned out to be terrible or useless, or the one you'd recommend.

I just finished up Fonda Lee's Jade War, it was pretty good. A fantasy asian setting with a magic basis for crouching tiger, hidden dragon style martial art funkyness. Lots of politics and intrigue, though a lot of that was opaque to me until revealed. Definitely recommended!

I don't read a lot of non-fiction books, most of my learning reading will be via websites or just going in and building the thing.

3. Do you have a favourite postage stamp?

The "Roo" stamp. Mostly cos it's the only one I know of really, apart from the Penny Black I suppose, but it's British, not Australian :)

4. What is your current favourite hobby?

Toss up between coffee roasting and woodwork.

5. Who was the most famous person you shook hands with?

Probably Devin Townsend
