On The Record with Alaris

I read an interview a while back - an enigmatic blogger interviewing a renowned blogger, both whom I follow with great interest. It was wonderful to read - you learn more about the interviewer and the interviewee through the questions and answers. I mentioned to both how much I enjoyed their repartee, and the interviewer asked how I would feel about an interview.

I had never really considered it. Of course, us bloggers typically have disproportionately huge egos - it appeals to our vanity to be interviewed. It makes us easy bait for any arch-enemy. I could see Bugs Bunny tripping up Yosemite Sam with a pen and pad of paper in hand while wearing a suit jacket and spectacles asking about his recipe for rabbit fricassee. Except I haven't the dashing handlebar mustache of Yosemite Sam and I'm assuming Alaris doesn't have Bugs' conspicuously long... ears (what body part did you think I was going to say?) I just couldn't turn down the opportunity!

I loved his questions for their insight and wit - it was a fun experience. For the interview, please visit Alaris's blog at Alaris's Space. I enjoy his writing - I'm sure you will too.

Good interview, I learned a few new things about you. The diversity of his questions reminds me of all the different things I'm drawn to/ turned on by/ admire about you.

Not that I need reminding! ;)
