This or That

Quote by AnnaMayZing

Nachos

With or without cheese?

Nachos with or without cheese or just in general? The whole point of nachos is cheese, no? But otherwise, generally speaking, without cheese.

Salsa or guacamole?

Salsa, though guac is good, too.

Read a novel or read a collection/anthology of short fiction?

I enjoy both, but prefer reading novels more.

Play an instrument or listen to music?

Listen. My clarinet playing is kind of so-so and that's the only instrument I know. I keep thinking about taking up piano or guitar but not sure how my arthritic fingers would take to it.

Reading aloud: Recite a poem or read a short story?

Either. However, poetry can sound so different to various people, so maybe poetry has the edge.

Wordsworth or Seuss?

Wordsworth.

Pottery class or painting class?

Probably painting. Family tradition. Grandad painted (he was a Protestant minister and it was his hobby, much like writing for me) and I have several of his paintings hung around the house.

Impressionism or Realism?

Impressionism

Monet or Renoir?

Monet, I think.

Art gallery or natural history museum?

Natural History

WW2 Museum or Industrial Museum?

Industrial museum

Climb Mount Everest or Dive to bottom of Marianas Trench?

Climb Mount Everest.

Take a theology or philosophy course?

Tough. I'm interested in both. Probably theology. I have very little formal education in it vs. taking several philosophy courses as part of my BA program.

In person classes or an online course?

In-person class.

Early riser or night owl?

Early riser (mostly, I sleep in now and then)

Enter a StoriesSpace comp or just enjoy the stories?

Enter the comp; if only had the time. (Reading as well as writing suffers with thtee girls 4-2-2 who have demanded my attention, but are totally worth every minute).

Rough it or modern facilities?

Modern facilities.

Cooking outdoors. Gas stove or wood fire?

Gas. Easier to work with even if you can get some interesting flavours with wood.

Speed/road bike or mountain bike?

No thanks. Not enough wheels or cylinders.

Off-roading or track racing?

Track. I think off-road would hard for me to handle.

Wasps in the house: Deal with them yourself or get someone else?

Depending on the quantity, myself. Have done it several times.

Dog or Cat?

Dog

Travel cross-country. Airplane or car?

Plane: I'm not a fan of long car rides.

Game of Thrones or The Last of Us?

Never heard of "The Last of Us" and only know the popularity of "Game of Thrones." If I had to choose, "Game of Thrones."

"Lord of the Rings" or "The Chronicles of Narnia?"

At first blush, LOTR. Long overdue for another pass at it. Though I have never read Narnia all the way through so perhaps that.

The novels or the movie/TV adaptations? (For either)

Quote by Cora
Never heard of "The Last of Us"

Acclaimed sf TV series based on a videogame series that has fungus-based zombies (inspired by an actual fungus).

Generally, the novel. However, a few movies are better than the book.

Standard cinema or IMAX?

Depends what I am going to see. If it is a documentary on blue whales, IMAX. If it is a movie like "Pride and Prejudice," standard cinema.

Movies: Thriller or Drama?

Thriller

Dracula or Frankenstein?

Bela Lugosi or Christopher Lee (oh, what the heck) or Gary Oldman?

Not familiar with any of those three names. After looking them up I recognized Gary Oldman from, "Oppenheimer." I liked that movie so I choose Gary Oldman.

Painting or statue?
