2. Boca Original vegan burgers
3. Trader Joe's sourdough bread
4. Frozen cranberry juice
5. Ice
Five things in my closet:
1. A shirt I got in Cusco, Peru (see picture above). It's one of those things you buy traveling certain you'll wear it at home but never do.
2. A new blue paisley tie (to add to my pathetically limited tie selection. I'm not a big fan).
3. A lot of my wife's clothes
4. Some cat hair
5. A shirt I got in Thailand.
Five things in my car:
1. Car seat for our daughter
2. Ming-ming (daughter's favorite doll)
3. Back support pad
4. CDs (currently in rotation: Sometimes Sober, Stone Temple Pilots, Arctic Monkeys, Jimi Hendrix, a compilation CD I made, and Jazz for Kids).
5. Maps of California and Fresno
Five books/magazines on my nighstand:
1. The latest Poets and Writers
2. The latest Sports Illustrated
3. Metallica: This Monster Lives
4. Goodnight Moon
5. Pity the Drowned Horses, Sheryl Luna

If you've ever bought a shirt while traveling and didn't wear it (much) when you returned, consider yourself tagged. You know you have.

Haha-- I want to do this one too. I frequently buy sweatshirts when travelling because I never pack enough warm clothes... then i never wear them because of course they're the lamest cheapest sweatshirts i can find...
It sounds like you're tagged. The cheap sweatshirt purchase definitely qualifies.
(oh. and I liked your list...the Girl Scout Thin Mint may be the perfect food).
Well, maybe in the Top 20.
Ha-- Thin Mints, yes. Great when frozen. Have you tried an iced mocha with a peppermint shot? It's Thin Mints for summer.
Every spring I have to hunt down the little cookie-bearing pixies--
I'll consider myself tagged by this thanks to an ugly shirt from Thailand that looked really good at the time. Must have been the heat.
Five things in my freezer:
1. A bad box of mint chocolate chip ice cream.
2. Parts of a ceremonial chicken from a Hmong funeral.
3. Frozen bratwurst buns I'm never going to get around to thawing out.
4. A box.
5. A lightbulb.
Five things in my closet:
1. A snowblower
2. Lots of books.
3. Some hermit crab food.
4. Power cords to unknown items.
5. A tiny christmas tree.
Five things in my car:
1. A poem by Bao Phi
2. Brass chicken-foot candleholders.
3. A Tasmanian Devil car freshener.
4. A set of Dungeons and Dragon dice.
5. A barely-used toolbox.
Five books/magazines on my nighstand:
1. Mental Floss
2. Hyphen Magazine
3. Dark Wisdom
4. A book by Clark Ashton Smith
5. G-Fan
I haven't tried that, but for a minute I shuddered with flashbacks of the peppermint schnapps days. Whoa.
Great list, Bryan. I guess the snowblower is a Minnesota thing. It's like the fog in California's Central Valley...one of those weather things you just get used to...
The combination of poet-books and baby-books sounds very familiar.
