The Interview Continued (again)
Gashi soshite aisatsu! This is Sasori Katana bringing you the final installment in the "My Exclusive Interview with Takusan Kangae" series. Really. This is it. Okay, the first question is...Takusan? Takusan Kaaaangae...where are you? TAKUSAN!!!
TAK: Zzzzz...Huh? What? Who's there?
SAS: Ha! I caught you! You were asleep on the job, weren't you?
TAK: Hey, muses need to sleep too!
SAS: Not in the middle of blogs, they don't!
TAK: Okay, okay! I'm awake now. What do you want?
SAS: The interview...?
TAK: Oh! Sumimasen, I completely forgot about it!
SAS: Of course you did. Okay, first question: Do you enjoy being a muse?
TAK: It's a living.
SAS: *threatening look*
TAK: It's a lot of fun, actually! I get to travel the world in search of
original ideas, which are hard to come by these days.
SAS: I see. Tell us, do you only provide inspiration for authors?
TAK: I specialize in the field of writing, but I have tried my hand at
such things as sculpting and music.
SAS: Music, huh? Vocal or instrumental?
TAK: Mostly vocal, but I did work for a flutist once.
SAS: Interesting, very interesting. So, Takusan, what do you like to do
in your spare time?
TAK: I collect stamps.
SAS: Stamps? Are you serious?
TAK: Yes...is there a problem?
SAS: No, not at all! (You think you know someone...) What about your
personal life? Any friends, family, a girlfriend maybe?
TAK: I hang out with the guy who used to muse for Mark Twain.
SAS: You're kidding!
TAK: Yes, I am. But I'm a close personal friend of Steve Halloway's muse.
SAS: Who's Steve Halloway?
TAK: A 34-year-old who lives with his mom. You know those velvet clown
paintings? Steve did twenty of them just last year.
SAS: I always wondered about those...Anyway, moving on.
TAK: Well, on the family end of things, I'm an only child. My parents
are Sukoshi and Warui Kangae.
SAS: Good, good. Say hello for me next time you see them.
TAK: Will do.
SAS: You were going to tell us about your girlfriend?
TAK: HA! I wish. It's not that I'm not a chick magnet *Sasori rolls eyes*
it's just that you have me running around so much that I hardly have
time for a personal life. By the way girls, you can reach me at 555-
SAS: Okay! Moving right along! So, what's your favorite color, Takusan?
TAK: Hmm...I'd have to say aquamarine. Or maybe mauve.
SAS: Why not just teal or purple?
TAK: They're too easy for you to spell *grin*
SAS: Okay pal, you're going straight back into the parentheses as soon
as this interview is over. And hey, it looks like it is!
It's been fun, folks, but my exclusive interview with Takusan Kangae is now officially jiendo! I'll see you next time! (Takusan: Wait! Nanitozo, someone get me out of here! You can't hold me prisoner in these accursed parentheses forever, Sasori!) Shut up, this is my blog. And if you don't quiet down, I will keep you in there forever. (Takusan: Okay, okay! I'm quiet! Yeesh...)
Aikou kara Sasori!
