12. Alf.

1/2. Where are you from?

Legend has it, the stork brought me. I've been wondering about the validity of that theory, though.

1. What are you reading right now?

I just finished The Human Stain by Philip Roth. It's not the kind of thing I normally read, but I thought it was pretty good. In general I read The Economist (hard copy) or The Wall Street Journal (online).

2. What are you listening to now/ what was the last CD you bought?

If there were serious risk in filming of the death of the main character, I'd have Keanu Reeves play me. If not, it would probably be either Jackie Chan, Andre the Giant, Danny Glover, Roseanne Arnold, Gary Coleman, or ObiJo.

I'd order one of everything, and I wouldn't let them take me until I was done.
"HEY! You wanna hurry up with those chilled monkey brains?!"

11. What's the origin of your screen name?

"Scyess" is totally meaningless. It's asexual and absolutely devoid of any references to things I do or things I like, because who gives a shit, really? It doesn't try to be a clever reference to something I like but no one else has ever heard of. It's totally anonymous. Plus, it has a "y" in it and sounds cool when you say it. It's also my password.

12. Give us an idea of how old you are by reference to your favourite music/TV show/whatever when you were a kid.

How sad you want to define my age (or my anything) by TV references.
