Apostropher has
tagged me with the "7x7" meme, in which the subject must come up with seven answers to each of seven questions. My efforts are below:
I. Seven things to do before I die:
| (1) | | Live in a house with a garage |
| (2) | | Own a Komondor |
| (3) | | Start my own business |
| (4) | | Be featured in the Wall Street Journal (for something good) |
| (5) | | Retire |
| (6) | | Bungee jump (hopefully not right before I die) |
| (7) | | Make a million-dollar donation to something |
II. Seven things I cannot do:
| (1) | | Wheelies |
| (2) | | Dance |
| (3) | | Sing |
| (4) | | Throw away stuff I no longer need |
| (5) | | A 360 on a snowboard |
| (6) | | Buy the less expensive model, when there is a more expensive one with features I will never use |
| (7) | | Count cards |
III. Seven things that attract me to blogging:
| (1) | | Comprehensive post archives give me a real sense of just how much time I've wasted over the years |
| (2) | | Ability to reach hundreds of readers around the world, and have them send me hate mail |
| (3) | | Pathetic sense of validation I get from an Instalanche |
| (4) | | Endlessly tweaking the site template soothes my obsessive-compulsive nature |
| (5) | | As hobbies go, it's pretty cheap |
| (6) | | There's no better way to kill time. I'll start blogging and when I look up at the clock, three hours have gone by. It's freaky. |
| (7) | | It's actually a great way to meet people |
IV. Seven things I say most often:
| (1) | | "Sumimasen" (Excuse me) |
| (2) | | "Mou ikkai itte kudasai" (Could you say that again, please?) |
| (3) | | "Furanku wo hitotsu kudasai" (One hot dog, please) |
| (4) | | "Kiji wa Itarian ni shite kudasai" (Thin crust, please) |
| (5) | | "Regyuraa de mantan ni shite kudasai" (Fill 'er up with regular) |
| (6) | | "Raaji burendo, mochikaeri desu" (Large black coffee, to go) |
| (7) | | "Domo" (Thanks) |
V. Seven books that I love:
VI. Seven movies that I watch over and over again:
VII. Seven people to whom I pass the meme:

What has the world come to when I get assigned homework by people on the Internet!
