How strange that you, of all of us, would prove to be the most hopeful.

I was tagged. Call it another from the Request Line.

1. Ten years ago: I was killing time at Columbia until i would be eligible for an internship the following February.

2. Five years ago: I don’t know. But six years ago today I was getting married tomorrow.

3. One year ago: I was reading about Hurricane Wilma, blissfully unaware of the long-term economic damage it was going to do to us.

4. Yesterday: Was the 26th. I had lunch with Juli Mac, went to the gym, spent an hour at OfficeMax, and ate a meatball sub while driving. I am a rock fucking star.

5. Today: I hooked up the Big List to the Juvenator and inadvertently annoyed bondgirl.

6. Tomorrow: I will phone in a costume for a consecutive year that ends in “teenth”.

7. Five snacks I enjoy: When I think of snacks I like, I also think of Calvin Trillin’s writing about Fats Goldberg consuming a Kresge’s chili dog as an appetizer. I am trying not to snack.

8. Five bands (musicians) I know the lyrics of most of their songs: Jimmy Buffett, Ice Cube, Frank Sinatra, Snoop Dogg, and Bruce Springsteen.

9. Five things I would do with $100,000,000: Oh, I would do well more than five things. But off the top of my head, condo on The Strip, condo on South Beach, home in Chicago, an airplane, and a foundation dedicated to getting statues of me erected in donation-hungry cities nationwide. (You people who would help the poor are so full of crap.)

10. Five locations I’d like to run away to: Vegas, South Beach, any Caribbean island where I could be free from interference, Belize, Costa Rica.

11. Five Bad Habits: See other side for complete list.

12. Five things I like doing: Cooking, traveling with money, spending aimless leisure time with friends while traveling and/or cooking, being self-reliant, solving logistical problems.

13. Five TV shows I like: SVU, Scrubs, Pardon the Interruption, Iron Chef America and Letterman.

14. Famous People I’d like to meet, living or dead: I have met famous people. They’re often letdowns.

15. Biggest joys at the moment: Yikes. Um. I have a delightful niece, a fantasy team with a winning record, and, um, I derive pleasure from not being late. It’s been a rough couple months.

16. Favorite toys: This laptop. Golf clubs. My knives.

17. Five people to tag: Any of you there on the right especially if you haven’t posted anything in fucking WEEKS.

And missunderstood.
