Friday Five: Good and Bad

Since the usual 5 Fandom Friday is on hiatus this month, I thought I'd go for the original (maybe?) Friday 5:

What’s good and what’s bad about the weather lately?

The good is that it's SUNNY. And WARM. Enough that it's comfortable and enjoyable to go running outside! I have always loved summer (no school! birthday! swimming) but in Sweden I just love it extra much. It's my reward for getting through the cold, dark winter. If there's anything bad about the weather, it's that it's not sunny and warm enough. (Spring is always full of hiccups, and there are some days where it's still just like 11 *C outside.)

What’s something that’s so bad it’s good?

So many movies. There is a special place in my heart for Coleman Francis's weird, sad, brief body of work.


What’s something that used to be bad but now is good?

There's any number of foods I didn't like, or didn't try because I didn't think I would like, when I was younger that I've now grown quite fond of.


What are some of your pet words for very bad and very good?

I don't think I have any particular, idiosyncratic expressions for good or bad. I will say that I can't get on board with "amazeballs" though. I just can't.


What’s your favorite song by Bad Company (or Good Charlotte, if BadCo isn’t your style)?

Well, neither Bad Company or Good Charlotte are my style. I do have some Badfinger:

Good Riddance:

and Benny Goodman:
