TAGGED! by Cowboy The Cat!
The rules:
Answer the questions about yourself. At the end of the post, tag 5-6 people and post their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know they’ve been tagged and asking them to read your blog (something along the lines of “Hello! I found your blog inquisitive! Please check out my blog! It is about the daily happenings in the life of a park ranger! — or something). Let the person who tagged you know when you’ve posted your answer.
What was I doing 10 years ago?
Crap, I dunno. I was temping, I think. I was dating MizSplotchy. Most importantly, I was preparing for the Rapture that was coming in the year 2000.
2. What are 5 things on my to-do list for today (not in any particular order)
a) I gotta do this meme, because CTC did an awesome job on my story virus and if I don’t do this today I’ll feel like a festering potato.
b) I’d like to wrassle with the kids a bit when I get home, or play cars, do something fun, etc.
c) Tonight I’m meeting with the four main actors of my upcoming short film, together for the first time! I’m a little nervous.
d) I’m taking my camera with me. After the actor meeting, I want to revisit the location I really liked on Spaulding and take some more pictures. I also want to see what it looks like on a weeknight (I was there before on Sunday).
e) I might snap a few photos of negative space signage as well.
3) Snacks I enjoy:
Wheat Thins
Ghirardelli Chocolate Caramel Squares
A knifeful of creamy peanut butter
Brownie bites
Pistachios
4) Things I would do if I were a billionaire:
a) [acts of altruism placeholder]
b) Assemble an orchestra of 250 acoustic guitars, arranged so I can spontaneously direct groupings of guitarists to play certain notes.
c) Build a kickass adult-sized combo jungle jim and funhouse, not like those crappy ones you find at state fairs
d) Do a series of self-financed feature films
e) Work on only things that are creatively/emotionally rewarding, or are integral to “a)”.
5) Places I have lived:
Springfield, IL
Carbondale, IL
Chicago, IL
Brookfield, IL
What can I say? I am a denizen of the Land of Lincoln.
6) People I want to know more about:
In the spirit of CTC’s Random Weblogs feature, I am going to randomly think of blog URLs and tag the people I find there.

That whole rapture thing did not go as planned, did it?
I am glad that MizSplotchy was there to break your fall.
doing your part to revive blogs that have seen better days huh?
Fran, me too!
DC, hey, as you have said before, I’m a mensch.
“festering potato”–you are the king of vivid imagery, sir.
Yeah dude, you should try another state sometime.
