If I could be any kind of cake, it would be: a cookies 'n cream ice cream cake with yellow cake and whipcream like frosting. Those are very very yummy. Plus they are multifaceted, they've got a little bit of this and a little bit of that. I try to embody that kind of adaptability you see.
Ketchup or Mustard? Mustard. It works with french fries, sandwiches. I mean ketchup is great but you've got a real substantive taste going on with mustard. Especially grey popoun.
Favorite Comic Strip: My favorite comic strip? Well, I don't really read comics but I thought "American Splendor" was a good movie, and it was about a guy who writes comics, and it was basically inspired by his comic which is called "american splendor".
Favorite Kitchen Appliance: I love spatulas. They are what I use most, for pancakes, eggs, stir-frys. They are really like an extra appendage and they are also really fun to flip around in the air and try to catch.

I really like 80s music. I love dancing to it. It's really really fun.
