When did you last see a movie in a theater? Do you remember what film you saw? I haven't seen a movie in a theater since 2008. Used to love to go to first movie of the day but can't now because of legs. Can't go up or down steps or ramps and don't like to sit near speakers at floor level. Last film was really bad. Think it was The X Files: I Want to Believe (the second X-Files movie).
If you stream movies and TV shows, what service(s) do you use? Amazon Prime infrequently.
If you had a Christmas tree, is it still up? If so, when will you take it down? No tree
Do you like American or European football (“soccer”)? What teams do you follow, if any? I used to watch American football. NY Giants fan when I was a teen. Washington Redskins fan back in late 1960s, early 1970s. Don't watch any at all now.

What, in your opinion, is the world’s scariest animal? Mosquitoes if we're going for "world" but personally it would be any animal/insect that surprises me. You know, not afraid to hold a snake that is handed to me but the thought of one crawling up my pants leg when I'm not paying attention scares the bleep out of me. I don't want to look down and see a mouse, a snake, an alligator or those big honkin' Florida bugs that look like big fat roaches you could put a saddle on. And, I hate crickets that get inside my home. The bigger the "animal" is the easier it is to avoid them. Also, I love birds and am around them a lot outside BUT I get hysterical if one accidently flies in my home. Not fond of those zoo buildings where birds fly all around you, either.
