Graeme is all like "Yo, it's time to call Kevin out and make him do this meme because I'm like that." I like Graeme a lot, so...

1. Ten years ago:
Dull, soulless dance music, usually played at an ear-splitting volume. Stupid decisions involving women. There was probably some drinking of the legal variety.
2. Five years ago:
26 is such a vague birthday. I'm sure Kristin and I did some stuff. She will tell me that we had an awesome time and remember every detail.
3. One year ago:
The red blinking light in my palm dimmed forever and I became a runner.
4. Yesterday:
Work stress.
5. Today:
Go Kevin. It's your Birfday.
6. Tomorrow:
Friday means bourbon and Battlestar Galactica and some comics-reading and thinking.
7. Five snacks I enjoy:
Diesel's selection of pastries (any of them.) That really dodgy pre-made Chex mix. Sour Patch Kids. Grape Nut ice cream. Buns from Yi Soon bakery over in Allston. (Booze is not a "snack," is it?)
8. Five bands I know the lyrics of most of their songs:
Pet Shop Boys, Erasure, Underworld, Depeche Mode, New Order. I could go on, you know.
9. Five things I would do with $100,000,000:
Convert a large sum of it into golden coins so I could do Scrooge McDuck-styled diving and cackling. Set up my own publishing firm to put out comics I like, maybe even write one. Huge music festival with loads of bands I like. Set up a charitable trust for literacy. Create ultimate home theater.
10. Five locations I'd like to run away to:
London. Tokyo. New York. An island with high-speed internet, gentle breezes, sand dunes, salty air, and a fully-stocked bar. San Francisco.
11. Five Bad Habits:
Poor food choices. Lack or voluntary exercise. Not focussing on work of any kind as much as I should. Being a little too loud and direct when I should learn to shut up. Sarcasm, Kristin would say.
12. Five things I like doing:
Reading, writing, sleeping, talking codshit with friends, thinking about mediums I enjoy and why.
13. Five TV shows I like:
Battlestar Galactica, The West Wing (first two seasons), Justice League Unlimited, The Office, and The Daily Show, (especially when Lewis Black is on.)
14. Famous People I'd like to meet, living or dead:
Jack "King" Kirby, John Coltrane, Neil Tennant, Grant Morrison, and Karl Hyde.
15. Biggest joys at the moment:
Comics, really, are kicking my ass. I may bitch about the various things I hate, but there's so much really excellent material coming out of late. People in my life have been excellent of late.
16. Favorite toys:
I have stopped collecting toys and given away huge chunks of my collection. I do keep my Lego Erasure and Pet Shop Boys sets in a place of pride, along with that Dark Knight Returns Batman figure. As far as grown-up things go, I totally wanna make out with my Palm.


I shan't designate specific meme victims. Five of you choose among yourselves to keep this going.
