ladies and gentlemen, start your blogs!
here are THE BLOG-BASED INTERVIEW QUESTIONS:
to deadbabymama
1. let’s talk about your blog work. what exactly were you researching about blogs before you started deadbabyblog? what have you learned from your research?
2 to whom do you talk most about your daughter? what is the history of your relationship with that person? how did you decide that person was safe to talk to?
3. so, easter sucks for you, huh? how did your miscarriage compare to the death of your daughter? how have the two experiences been different for you? any similarities?
4. i think i saw the blue in your bedroom and didn’t think it was horrible, but hey - it’s your bedroom. so what color is it now and why? and how about that kitchen?
5. what exactly does joe strummer mean to you? elaborate. no really.
extra credit (because i have more questions for you, dammit):
1. did you ever get the freaking washing machine delivered?
2. i was frightened by your dream of attending a yard sale of only cookbooks; you’ve had some time to think about it, so what do you think this dream says about you? do you think you have a fear of cooking?
3. what would your ideal yoga background music be? explain.

1. you came up with the name of our blog, and i was so freaking jealous because i couldn’t think of anything nearly as good for my blog so i begged you to share yours with me and because you are generous you agreed. so, i’d like to know - do you think of johannes as a ghost? if so, please elaborate. if not, please explain how you think of him in the here and now.
2. i originally suggested johannes as the name for our future son as kind of a desperate stab at finding a mutually-acceptable j-name to honor your family tradition and was surprised when you latched on to it, although not without trying to get me to consider jaromir, to which i can only say, wtf? when we started talking about possible names for our next child, you brought up isabella, which i found was the 11th most popular girl’s name (it’s moved up to 8th since then), and when i showed you that evidence, you recoiled in horror. so what is it with you and unique names?
3. which of your friendships has most diminished in the aftermath of hans’s death? what friendship has grown the most? any surprises there?
4. you miss creating music, so i have to ask you - why aren’t you making any? huh?
5. as you know, i do not share your appreciation of graffiti. please explain what the deal is.

1. you’ve received numerous recognitions for “i hate this” - in your heart of hearts, which one do you secretly find most flattering?
2. which of your birthday compatriots would you rather be: mick jagger or george bernard shaw? do tell.
3. you’ve created/acted in/seen more theater than most of the rest of us. if you were to recommend one show i should see if i ever had the chance (besides yours, which i’d like to see again), what would it be?
4. if we were going to take a cross-country trip tomorrow, what route should we take to see the best of ordinary america? what would the must-stop stops be?
5. you take your music pretty seriously. is there a frustrated musician in there?

Hey, um, I'd be happy to be interviewed too, but I don't as yet have a blog. I have been thinking about starting some kind of writer-mom blog, though, but can't make the commitment yet.
Can I play without a blog?
