What song or lyrics are stuck in your head at the moment? What album is it from?
Submitted by Lox Ly.
あなたのせいじゃない from 美少女戦士セーラームーン Memorial Song Box. It's been stuck in my head for days now. Need to find something else to take its place. :(

Tell us a little something about your first car. Do you have any photos you can share?
Submitted by tamara.
I wish I had pictures, but alas I don't. My first car was a white (with beige pinstripes, natch) 1987 Volkswagen Fox that I inherited from my mother. It had a wonderful gutless engine, no air conditioning, no power steering or power brakes, AM-FM cassette radio (that enjoyed eating my tapes), cloth seats, hand crank windows, and four speed manual transmission, but it took me on a daily 150 or so mile drive to work and back.
When I was 19 and making what I thought was an amazing salary, I traded it in and bought a new car, a 1997 Honda Accord. Of course, that was before I had to do stuff like pay rent and buy food, so most of my paycheck went toward the monthly payment and insurance.
When was the last time you had to speak in front of a group? How did you feel?
Earlier this week at a team meeting. How did I feel? Bloody pissed! But that's a story for another time. Now I need to prepare to present our feature to some executives in a couple of weeks. Eep.
How well do you know your next-door neighbors?
I don't know my neighbors and they don't know me. In this apartment building, people move in and out all the time. The people across the hall from me are an Indian couple who are always leaving shoes and crap outside of the front door, while the people next door -- well I don't know who in the hell they are. I just remember who used to be there by the parties they would hold on the balcony and the constant cigarette smoke (that's been replaced by our downstairs neighbors who do the same).
What is your favorite cover song?
Question submitted by Ray.
There's so many, it's hard to pick a favorite. Of course, there's Ben Folds' brilliant rendition of Bitches Ain't Shit, Nina Gordon's version of Straight Outta Compton, or anything by Richard Cheese. I tend to really like covers of rap songs done in a completely different vein than the original.
It's hard to pick a favorite, so I just listen to the Coverville podcast and let Brian Ibott do the work for me.
