"I do think that the quality which makes a man want to write and be read is essentially a desire for self-exposure and is masochistic. Like one of those guys who has a compulsion to take his thing out and show it on the street." - James Jones

nagfbdc.jpg

Say hello to the New York Times' Adam Nagourney.

How many suits do you own? Like four but they don't all fit (too big, not too small, thank you very much), and I don't wear them any more.

What word do you routinely misspell? The usual: Than and Then. Affect and Effect. Hegel and Hagel.

Did you see Brokeback Mountain? Loved it.

Did you see The Da Vinci Code? Read the book. Boring.

What's the name of your cell phone ring? Vibrate

What time did you get up this morning? 6 a.m.

When did you last cry and why? don't ask.

Which of the seven deadly sins are you? There are only seven?

Beach, city or country? Beach.

Would you say you're cute? Pretty? Hot? Beautiful? Hunkalicious, don't you think?.

What single person played the biggest role / had the biggest influence on your journalism career? Jeff Schmalz.

Have you ever downloaded a podcast? If so, which one? iPods are for music.

When's the last time you volunteered? Where? Are you TRYING to make me feel guilty?
