What were you doing 20 years ago?
Moping. Listening to Depressed Mode’s “Blasphemous Rumours” over and over. Waxing Emo, 80s New Wave style.

What were you doing 10 years ago?
TA’ing for an “Ethnic and Racial Politics” in white, white Utah. Listening to a lot of Nirvana. Waxing Emo, 90s-grunge style.

What were you doing 1 year ago?
Not sleeping. Experimenting with happy-meds. Applying to CSU Long Beach. Listening to a lot of Bad Religion. Waxing Emo. Okay, not really.

Five snacks you enjoy:
1. Ohagi. (Sweet and chewy Japanese mochi rice surrounded by sweet azuki bean paste. Fun to watch people with braces eat.)
2. Partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, high fructose corn syrup, salt, and natural and artificial flavors and colorings.
3. Coffee-Oreo and Mud Pie ice creams.
4. Japanese hoof-and-cartilage-free gelatin.
5. A hearty Assam or Irish breakfast tea, and a good crumbly scone with Devonshire clotted cream.

Five songs to which you know all the lyrics:
1. If I were a Rich Man from Fiddler on the Roof. My kids are very aware of this.
2. Most of the lyrics to most of the songs in Jesus Christ Superstar.
3. Tanimura Shinji’s Subaru. A Japanese karaoke mainstay. Singing Subaru + American appearance + audience of drunk Japanese businessmen = instant (if short-lived) celebrity status.
4. I can sing Nirvana’s Smells Like Teen Spirit. Okay, I can sound like I know all of lyrics.
5. Tequila
