Doing a Saturday 9 post today!
Link to questions → Saturday 9: Smelly Cat
1) Poor Smelly Cat lives with negligent humans who refuse to take it to the vet. Who is the last doctor you spoke to (vet, MD, dentist, PhD ...)?
Last time was when I go to a nearby private hospital to get flu vaccine. It was before Covid-19 became a pandemic but everyone was already being cautious. There was a shortage of flu vaccine at that time (not sure if it was coincidental or what). I was paranoid cautious because of H1N1 news end of 2019. It was early 2020.
2) This song was introduced during the second season of Friends. Were you a fan of the show?
I consider myself a fan. Grew up watching it. But never finished watching all the seasons.
3) On the show, the song was performed by Phoebe Buffay (Lisa Kudrow), an amateur folk singer and a professional masseuse. There was a debate on Reddit about massages -- some loved them because they are relaxing and therapeutic, others think it's "creepy to be undressed and handled by a stranger." How about you? Do you enjoy massages?
Yes, I do enjoy them. Suffered from backache more since I started working in 2017 (a lot of sitting and dealing with difficult people). Still have them occasionally after I quit :( Might need to see a chiropractor Ah.. but I understand why it feels creepy. I don't feel comfortable with a male giving back massage so...
4) During the run of Friends, Phoebe was roommates first with Monica and then with Rachel and finally with her true love, Mike. Tell us about one of your roommates.
Huh. When I was younger, I shared a room with an aunt. Then, there's that temporary roommate during university orientation. Don't have much to say about really. [Is it obvious that I'm not a fan?]
5) Phoebe often performed for tips on street corners or at her favorite coffee shop, Central Perk. Where is your favorite place to go for a cup of joe?
Haven't gone out much since last year so I guess... home?
6) This song was originally called "Smelly Dog," inspired by a pooch named Gouda. The childhood pet of Friends writer Betsy Borns, poor Gouda could have smelled better. Is there an odor you'd prefer to never smell again?
Okay. Two things came to mind. Both related to biology class. Formalin. And that ammonium compound (I don't remember the full name) we used in an experiment once that smells like really, really strong(?) or concentrated urine. This might extend to any fermented food that has similar scent.
7) 35% of American households include a cat. Are there any pets at your house?
Yes. Cats :D
8) In 1995, the year Phoebe first performed "Smelly Cat," Steve Fossett became the first person to make a solo flight across the Pacific in a hot air balloon. Have you ever ridden in a balloon?
No. Not sure if I want to in the future.
9) Random question: Looking over your romantic history, have you broken more hearts, or had your heart broken more often?
