what four

Work is hard right now and memes are easy. This one came from my buddy Dot, and my answers are below.

Four jobs you've had in your life: Head Usher and Head of Concession at the Parkway II theaters (it's now something like the Parkway 25); Giftware Sales Associate for a cokehead wholesale rep; Temp Dispatcher for a temp agency during the worst unemployment slump in NYC in the past 20 years; Catholic Priest (for real).

Four movies you could watch over and over: To Kill a Mockingbird; Tootsie; Big; Singin' in the Rain.

Four places you've lived: Hickman Mills, MO; Wheeling, WV; Creve Coeur, MO; Berkeley, CA.

Four TV shows you love to watch: My Name is Earl; HBO's Rome; Seinfeld reruns; M*A*S*H reruns.

Four places you've been on vacation: Italy, France, Austria, The Rocky Mountains.

Four websites you visit daily: Google (maps, dictionary, local businesses, images and general searches); NYTimes; Amazon; eBay (selling, not buying).

Four weblogs you visit daily: I honestly check each of the blogs and journals listed in my "Links" column at least once daily. Four that are particularly well-written and entertaining on a daily basis are: Ornithology for Beginners; Fried Green 'Maters ~ Idgie's Place!; Navel Gazing 'R' Us; Tales of Post-Twinkie Ennui. (This list might change weekly, depending upon who's on vacation or who's life drama is keeping them away from the computer.)

Four of your favorite foods: lobster, parmigiano reggiano cheese, any main dishes served with figs, plums or prunes, desserts made with espresso and chocolate.

Four places you'd rather be: home snuggling with Bob; lying on the beach in the little hillside coastal town of Cornelia in the Cinque Terre, Italy; lying naked on the massage table of a big furry masseur; photographing a couple of big hairy nude models somewhere warm and outdoors.

Four albums you can't live without: James Taylor's "JT"; Joni Mitchell's "Court & Spark"; Vince Guaraldi's "A Charlie Brown Christmas" Soundtrack; Elmer Bernstein's "To Kill a Mockingbird" Soundtrack.
