This week's Friday Five:
- What's your favourite black article of clothing? A tough question, as 99% of my wardrobe is black. Ultimately, I'd have to say my black satin crepe Wilfred Chevalier blazer from Aritzia and black Leggings Pants from Uniqlo.
- What's the best black food? In recent memory, probably the caviar I had at Per Se.
- How did you pass the time during your most recent extended blackout (power outage)? The last time I experienced a blackout was a few weeks ago, and I was just about to leave the house to go out and my garage door couldn't open. But the power went back on within a minute, so I don't think it really counts. The last time I really experienced a prolonged power outage was probably the Blackout of 2003, and I had been shopping at the Eaton Centre with Janetta. I think we just walked around Queen Street and took advantage of vendors giving out free food before it went bad. We were downtown for hours and finally found a cab that was willing to drive us all the way back uptown. When I got home, we just ate the rest of the ice cream in the freezer by candlelight. And then I read a book by flashlight until the power went back on around 3:00 in the morning.
- When did you last play blackjack? About a month ago, when I went to the casino with Jack and Ronsee.
- What are some songs in your iTunes (or other media player) whose titles contain the word 'black'? I have a total of 27 songs with the word 'black' in the title. My top ten songs from those:
- Thursday — Jet Black New Year
- Codeseven — Smell of Yellow and Black
- The Black Keys — Little Black Submarines
- Metric — Black Sheep
- Taking Back Sunday — Up Against (Blackout)
- Yeah Yeah Yeahs — Black Tongue
- AFI — Bleed Black
- Radiohead — Black Star
- Sneaker Pimps — Black Sheep
- The Cardigans — Little Black Cloud
great songs! <3
ReplyDeleteHaha, thanks! I think so, too. :)
DeleteYeah Yeah Yeahs were my fave band for like five years, until every movie and TV show started playing Zero for some reason. Black Tongue was a good one and I loved that entire album, which rarely happens!
ReplyDeleteI don't think the YYYs were ever my favourite band, but I've liked them since Fever to Tell came out. :) I liked most of the songs from that one, but I think the only album I loved in its entirety was Show Your Bones. Phenomena is still one of my fave songs by them!
DeleteYou know they got mainstream when Glee covered "Heads Will Roll." :P
They did?? Cringing!
DeleteYeah! I secretly love Glee, but they mashed it up with Michael Jackson's "Thriller." Sort of ruined both songs for me.
