I hope you enjoy the answers. I’ll get back to regular blogging once my summer of socially occupied weekends begins and I have something to write about.

1. What city am I traveling to on July 18 - July 20?
Seattle, WA

2. Why am I going there?
My lifelong dream is to visit every Major League ballpark before I die of loneliness and abject poverty in the year 2012 (which will logically facilitate itself if I do end up going to every single ballpark). I have sentimental reasons for going to Seattle as my first non-California destination. Currently, I’m supposed to pay $250 for two nights of lodging (for a group of 6). Apparently, I’m staying at a brothel or something because I have no other explanation for the high cost.

3. When I told a friend and her sister about my lifelong dream, I also told them a list of cities that I need to visit. Which city got me laughed at?
When I was at Staples Center 2 weeks ago getting ROBBED of my tacos, I told my friend (the same one who wanted to “upgrade” our Lakers tickets back in March) and her sister about my lifelong dream (see #2). When I said I also had to go to Toronto, they laughed at me for like 10 seconds. Their comments ranged from “That’s cute…” to “Maybe if you wait 30 years, the team won’t be there anymore and you won’t have to go…” Then they laughed some more.

4. What did my friend and I see at the Umaimono Gourmet Fair in Torrance on Sunday (May 18th) that made us go from :O to :3 to :\ to :( back to :3 in a matter of 10 seconds?

5. If you’re a common serf, what awaits you with a pitchfork outside the bathroom?
A Klansman.

6. What am I watching right now?
It was probably either Hayate no Gotoku! or 미녀들의 수다 (Misuda).

7. Who is my favorite character in #6?
Depending on my answer for #6, it’s either Saki or Dominique Noel. I bet you thought I was going to say Isumi or Ayumu for Hayate no Gotoku!, huh? Anyone who guessed Hinagiku can eat shit and die. Actually, the only reason why I like Saki is because of the way she says “Waka.” For Misuda, anyone with ears and a brain will agree with me that Dominique is the greatest ever to grace that show. Sayuri gets an honorable mention because she’s insane.

8. What do the numbers (facing the driver) in the fuzzy dice in my car add up to?
11. When I bought the fuzzy dice back in Tahoe, I thought they were totally awesome. I put them on my mirror, which I assumed would make my car equally awesome. Then I made a right turn… That thing blocks about 60% of my vision when making a right. I’m living on borrowed time as I type this as an accident is inevitable and yet I have no intention of taking the dice down.

9. What bet do I make in craps for the sole purpose of saying it out loud even though it’s a terrible bet?
“Horn High Yo”
A Horn Bet is a bet that the outcome of the next roll of 2 dice will either be 2,3,11 or 12. In my case, because my job pays me in beans and movie tickets, I toss a meager $5 chip on the table and yell out “Horn High Yo!” That means I’m putting $1 each on 2, 3, 11 and 12 (Horn), with the extra $1 (High) going to 11 (Yo). The odds are terrible and the payout is even worse. I need a raise.

10. What should I eat for lunch tomorrow?
This is an easy question. There is no wrong answer, except for this one…

“you should go to mitsuwa and eat at italian tomato”

During lunch hours on any given day that entire food court is a circus, carnival and concentration camp combined under one roof. I went there at 2PM once and I still had to wait 30 minutes for my food.
