About dr_jones
An awesome place I've visited:
the plains of Nazca, Peru, Pablo Neruda's house in Santiago, Chile, the Oval Office, a night spent in the Alhambra, la Ste Chapelle, Paris, sailing across the Atlantic from Capetown to Rio, Kyoto, in almost any kitchen, the champagne caves in Epernay, teaching disabled kids to sail in Coconut Grove.
My perfect Sunday:
Any day is a great day. The Times crossword, good coffee, brunch with interesting people, a bike ride or sailing, or not planning anything at all.
The movie I've watched the most times:
I'm a huge movie fan, so this is a difficult question. Recently: 2001: A Space Odyssey, Big Trouble in Little China, Double Indemnity, The Third Man, a bunch of Harold Lloyd and Buster Keaton silent films, and a lot of Chinese cinema, as I'm learning the language.
My first concert / My dream concert:
My first concert was the Beatles at Shea Stadium, but I was a baby at the time, so don't remember much.
Obscure knowledge I possess:
I won on Jeopardy!, so there's a lot of obscure knowledge I'm lucky (or cursed) enough to possess. The more trivial it is, the more likely I am to know it.
I have a weakness for guys/girls who:
share their love of life.
For me, a first date no-no is:
not getting to know one another
What I would bring to show and tell:
1) my cat, Lord Bud 2) my father 3) a guitar, so I can play and we could have a sing a long
A story you should remind me to tell you on our first date:
first date story: learning to swim in the congo river, with my father, at about 2 years of age. the stories get increasingly better as the number of dates increase...but hopefully, we'd create some stories of our own in the process.
I secretly want to be:
Captain Kirk? not really a secret. Marco Polo.
I want to be with someone who wants to be:
happy.
If I won the lottery and quit my job, I would:
find something else to do.
One thing my mother would want you to know about me:
I'm unafraid. I have a wicked sense of humor.. Also, I'm a better cook than she is.
I want to come home to:
serenity.
