Ariel posted the seven questions a while back, and I finally have enough unpleasant chores that I need to procrastinate. I found these questions rather hard to answer, mostly because finding exactly seven of someting proved to be a bit challenging. I left off CS Lewis, the Bible and a few other universally beloved writers because they are already part of the Canon. The question about what you'd do before you die is rather morbid, but its good to be reminded that our time here is all too brief.

Seven things to do before I die.
1. Pay off some bills.
2. See Mongolia
3. Publish a comic masterwork
4. Love a good man
5. Raise and love a child
6. Busk on Pacific Avenue
7. Move to the Mission District and live the hipster dream in a loft/warehouse

Seven things I cannot do
1. Do the splits
