8 Random Things

Well, I was tagged (indirectly – my pseudonym was tagged) by Michael over in Australia.  Here are my 8 random things:

1. I’m the 22′d known generation of my family tree
2. The only thing I can say in Mandarin is “I can’t speak Mandarin”
3. I despise the smell of durian (a fruit that you should not go out of your way to smell)
4. I’m obsessive compulsive about my weight
5. I want to make pasta as good as Mario Batali’s
6. If I could, I’d ride my bike (bicycle) every day
7. I’m attempting to learn the guitar
8. I actually like my job

Now I’m supposed to tag other people.  This is tough because most of the people I know who have a presence on the web would already have been tagged.  In fact, this is my third time tagged, but I’ve never responded until now.  So here I go trying to think of people who might not be in my normal circle of web buddies (that I consider friends outside of the web), or old friends I’ve rediscovered that have web presences:

• Andy Scherer
• ZK
• Tim Henderson
• Ted Lai
• Aileen Quan
• John Bracken
• Minor Harris
