HEY GUESS WHAT? This is a Cube post!
*awaits shocked faces*

Every day @thehypercube posts “questions of the day” on Twitter and we all sort of “shout out” our answers to her as an @ reply. However, I’ve been kind of out of commission over the past day or so due to pain medications kicking my ass and I’ve managed to miss all of them.

Sooooooooooo, what I did was write down all of the “questions of the day” she’s thrown out and I’ve missed and I decided to answer them here and just send her a link. That way I’m still in the loop, even though I’m on pain meds and thus, a little loopY.

And awaaaaaaay we go!

@thehypercube: Best road trip ever?
@SunnyCrittenden: When I was 12, my best friend’s mother borrowed a conversion van from a friend and we went on a road trip to Sandbanks Provincial Park down near Belleville, Ontario, which is really only about 2 hours away from where we lived at the time but we went all over the place in that ugly gold van for about 2 weeks, staying at Sandbanks for a few days and then staying at other campsites in the area until the vacation money literally ran out and there was just enough money for the gas to get home. The van was right out of the 70′s with gold shag carpet, gold seats and a booth-like area at the back with a gold cushioned seat around a sparkly gold table.

@thehypercube: Are you urban or suburban, and why?
@SunnyCrittenden: Both. I live in a very small town (pop. 1700) because it’s “safe”, my kids can walk to school, it’s a GOOD school with small class sizes and the town has a nice library, but it’s dependent on a city (Barrie) for work and basic necessities.

@thehypercube: Have you asked cubists what they would do if they won a Cube?
@SunnyCrittenden: I think I pretty much outlined that here. The Cube would allow me basic freedom that I haven’t really had in a very long time. I just want to be able to do cool stuff with my dogs, my friends and my kids. Looking good doing it is a bonus.

@thehypercube: I want to know where everyone got their Twitter nicknames from. There are some really interesting ones.
@SunnyCrittenden: Mine’s just my name. Well, my professional name anyway.

@thehypercube: What person, living or dead, would you most want to spend an afternoon learning from?
@SunnyCrittenden: This is a very difficult question, but probably Frida Kahlo. I think she’d have a lot to teach me about art, but life as well. My next pick would be Virginia Woolf for similar reasons, but with writing instead of art.

@thehypercube: If you can go on a road trip with the Cube across North America, where would you go?
@SunnyCrittenden: I’d like to see all of Canada. I’ve been all over the US, but as far as Canada, I’ve really only seen my own province and not a whole lot of it. I’d like to see Montreal, I hear it’s a pretty amazing place. I’d also like to see BC one day, but I’m not sure where specifically.

@thehypercube: Name your favourite movie and why.
@SunnyCrittenden: Probably The Hours because it’s just so well done. The book, by Micheal Cunningham is probably my favourite book of all time and the movie is just as good. Of course, it’s about Virginia Woolf and the writing of Mrs. Dalloway, but the subplots are woven together so tightly it just amazes me every time I see it.

@thehypercube: What’s your favourite letter of the alphabet?
@SunnyCrittenden: Z. There’s just no cooler letter than Z.

So those are the questions of the day I missed while I was out of commission. I’m still not 100% but getting better and needing the drugs less so hopefully I’ll be able to keep up with Twitter better pretty soon. The main problem is that the drugs make me tired, so I’ve been napping a lot and it seems like that’s when the questions of the day get thrown out there!

Anyway, I’m working hard on not falling behind.

And now, I leave you with some lolcats that Marylin made and sent me to further the Cube cause:
