Four things

Posted on February 14, 2006 Written by Diane

Daryl tagged me with the Four Things meme that I’ve seen around. So here goes:

Four jobs I’ve had:

  1. Shill in a magic act
  2. Book shelver at the Stanford Graduate School of Business
  3. Technical writer
  4. TV show intern

Four movies I can watch over and over again:

  1. Raiders of the Lost Ark
  2. Casablanca
  3. Amadeus
  4. The Wizard of Oz

(Wow. This was harder than I’d thought it would be. I had to sit here for a while and really think about what movies I wouldn’t mind watching over and over again. I don’t actually watch movies over and over again, though, except for movies that the kids want to see. And currently one of those is the Wizard of Oz, which I haven’t minded rewatching a few times.)

Four places I’ve lived:

  1. West Hartford, CT.
  2. San Francisco, CA.
  3. Mountain View, CA.
  4. Sherman Oaks, CA.

(You may notice a trend there…)

Four TV Shows I love:

  1. Battlestar Galactica
  2. Arrested Development (alas)
  3. The Backyardigans (yup, still love it)
  4. Yikes. That I really love? Okay, I’ll go with Scrubs, even though I only watch it by accident, when Darin does

Four Places I’ve vacationed:

  1. Cozumel, Mexico
  2. Ireland
  3. Israel
  4. Poland

Four of my favorite dishes:

  1. Creme brulée French toast
  2. Oatmeal
  3. Lamb chops. Mmm, lamb chops.
  4. Any sweet petite treat from Fleur de Cocoa. Or Sweet Lady Jane (sigh).

Four blogs that I visit daily:

  1. Firedoglake
  2. Digby
  3. Miss Snark
  4. Born Again Gym Bunny

Four places I would rather be right now:

  1. Paris
  2. New York
  3. Grand Cayman
  4. Bonaire

(Hm. This is a toughie, because it is “right now” as this very minute? Or in general? Because I don’t want to be in NYC if, say, there’s a freaking blizzard going on. And Grand Cayman during hurricane season? Not so much.)

Four bloggers I am tagging:

  1. Pooks
  2. Sage
  3. Tamar
  4. Toni

(Alphabetical order, in case you’re wondering.)

    OT, but Andreas Katsulas (G’Kar in Babylon 5) has died, alas.

    Okay, so I thought surely somebody would ask…

    Shilling? For a magic act?

    Do tell! Please?
