"The rules of the game get posted at the beginning. Each player answers the questions about themselves. At the end of the post, the player then tags 5 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leave them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog. Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer."

 

1) What was I doing 10 years ago?

Working where I'm working now.  Living with my ex (that Chinese girl from Bangkok).  Walking my dog.

2) What are 5 things on my to-do list for today?

1. Go to the Air Conditioned Lounge and win concert tickets from 94.9, if they're giving them away.
2. Go see a movie with a friend (Mongol).
3. A bunch of stupid cr@p at work that needed getting done.
4. Put some more vacation pics up on flickr (didn't get to this).
5. Look up "wendigo" on wikipedia.
   

3) Snacks I enjoy:

Cheez-its, wasabi peas, chicharon, my homemade blood orange ceviche.

4) Things I would do if I were a billionaire:

• Buy a house on Maui and an apartment in Manhattan.
• Pay to get some completely inane proposition on the ballot, just to say I did.  Or spend a bunch of money running for office - but be completely honest and unreserved in my comments (to the point of using the phrase "my opponent is a jerkoff" in EVERY commercial).
  
• Afford gas.
• Open a gourmet bar/eatery.
• Hire somebody to give charities the runaround for me.  But give SOMEBODY a bunch of cash so they'll name a building after me!
  
• Travel more!
• Buy a $1500 ukulele.  And maybe a few guitars.
• Keep my current job, and start doing progressively outrageous and inappropriate things, and see how long it takes to get fired.  Keep a blog of the process.

5) Places I have lived:

Pasadena, CA
Somewhere in Virginia, near DC ( I was 2! ).  Let's just say Arlington.
Torrance, CA
Paso Robles, CA (and am thus infatuated by wines from here)
San Diego, CA (La Jolla, Encinitas, Cardiff-by-the-Sea, Pacific Beach, University City, Del Mar).

- some family members claim Galveston, TX for a short bit - others claim I wasn't born at that point -

6) Jobs I have had:

Research analyst, telemarketer for political organizations, prep cook, appetizer cook, oyster shucker, pasta cook, dishwasher, dog-walker, guy behind the counter at a deli making sandwiches (made one for Huey Lewis once!).

7) Bloggers I am tagging who I will enjoy getting to know better:

Aquanetta, S@ngarangadingdong
