1) Roy Jones Jr. Our 12 year old black cat. We call her Roy Jones because she has a lot of attitude and a vicious right hook.
2) The Weekly Dig. The only reason to get out of bed on Wednesdays.
3) Ming's Grocery Store on Washington St. This place is bigger than a Super Stop & Shop and their prices are unbelievable. There's even parking!
4) Lu's Sandwich Shop. Right near the corner of Knapp St. and Beach St. in Chinatown. $2.50 buys you an amazing Vietnamese sub on french bread.
5) The way the Boston Public Garden looks after a rainfall.
6) Crab Rangoon
7) The Zombie cocktail at the Kowloon.
8) Pointless Busywork. Just what you need for those days when you have to justify your paycheck but you are too hungover to do anything else.
9) Six Feet Under. Every week we camp out for an hour in front of the TV and watch the Fisher family implode in slow motion. I can't wait until the trading cards come out.
10) Red Bull. Good with cranberry juice and vodka, good at the end of a long day over ice, good any time you really want to end up grinding your teeth in front of your computer at 3am.
11) Pikmin. I first got to play this when I got a job playing Nintendo Gamecube games at a demo for $20 bucks an hour. You play the role of a spaceman who's crashed onto a planet that looks like a big garden. Little creatures called Pikmin grow in the ground under your ship and every morning you harvest them and lead them on a search for big bugs that you tell the pikmin to attack. The pikmin go after the bugs and if they kill it, it becomes little pellets that will grow more pikmin to help build a new ship. They look like skinnier Teletubbies with little daisies growing out of their heads. When the bugs attack them and kill them, little pikmin ghosts go floating up and you feel guilty. Donald Rumsfeld should be locked up in a room for a week with nothing to do except play Pikmin.
