Is "fuzzyzquare" an allusion to rear-view mirror dice?
Sort of. The word "fuzzyzquare" came about when my husband and I were trying to come up with a name for our computer (of all things.) We started thinking it would be fun to use a combination of our names, like "Beniffer" or "Brangelina." With our first names being so short, our best option was either "Jarl" or "Kade," which would have worked but... kinda boring. So, thinking of our last names - Fuss & Squire - we started making combinations to, again, little satisfaction. Our attempts eventually turned into silly conversation and us making all the S's into Z's which gave us the "Fuzzy." Probably one of the most common "fuzzy" things to think of is "fuzzy dice" and hey, their square which rhymes with Squire - "Zquire" er, "Zquare!" Et, voila! FuzzyZquare! (Are you wishing you never asked? *hehe*)
Oh, and all after that, we ended up naming our computer "Mulder" as in Fox Mulder of the X-Files... 'cause he's cool. :)

What was the best concert you went to?
there are many, but one at the top of my list would be the first time I saw Fishbone. it was at the Concert Hall in T.O., around 1990. I was already madly in love with the band, but that love shot through the roof after seeing them live. seeing Angelo climb up the speakers on the side of the stage to the balcony, then jump down to the crowd below blew my mind at the time. Fishbone are the most energetic + energizing bands I have ever witnessed live... 5 times.
Why is a carrot more orange than an orange?
doesn't it have something to do with beta-carotene? (I'm not sure if oranges have that too... which explains why I am not a dietician.) maybe that's why they were called carrots? er... I guess they should have been called carotenes. LOL.
this reminds me of something I heard/learned many moons ago about colour and how colour only exists where there is light. the argument, in this situation, was about whether a carrot was orange at all when it's in the earth because there is no light present to make it appear orange. (as you probably know, colour only appears once light hits the surface of an object and reflects a specific spectrum of light that we see as a specific colour.) so, it a carrot orange even under ground? yes, I think it is. a very dirty orange, of course. but, we can only observe it as orange once it is pulled from the earth. I thought it was a dumb theory then as much as I do now. things need to "exist" in order to "be" in my opinion.
I think an even more important question is which tastes more orange... an orange or a carrot?!
