And from Kevin, Meme Five:
Five weird things about myself--everything? Uh, no, seriously, it's hard to know what's weird and what's normal. But here goes--
1) I like to cover my face when I go to sleep, and apparently have done so since I was old enough to grab the covers.
2) I refer to cottage cheese, tomatillo salsa, and toaster hash browns as the breakfast of champions.
3) Once every few years I embroider something.
4) I really like to suck on the stems of Oxalis, and they generally make me happy when I see them.
5) I'm inexplicably fond of the song "When Johnny Comes Marching Home Again," and used to play it on the piano an awful lot. I think I like the hurrah bits and the rhythm.
And for this I tag Cyrus, Atanu Dey, Robin Sloan and Matt Thompson (each), and Saurabh. I figure this one is so freestyle, it can turn into just about anything.
