Meme of Four

C’mon guys. If you want to spread an internet meme, you should pass it on to more than one person at a time. I’m gonna steal the ball from my buddies John, Jane, & Kevin, and add the bonus question from Peter Daou :

Four jobs you’ve had in your life: Sandwich artist, dishwasher, movie theater projectionist, systems administrator

Four movies you could watch over and over: Goodfellas, The Wizard of Oz, Rushmore, Citizen Kane

Four places you’ve lived: Tulsa & Stillwater, Oklahoma, Burbank & Pasadena, California

Four TV shows you love to watch: Arrested Development, The Twilight Zone, The Kids in the Hall, The Daily Show

Four places you’ve been on vacation: Italy, Venezuela, New York, Hawaii

Four websites you visit daily: Boing Boing, Eschaton, Google News, Washington Monthly

Four of your favorite foods: Sushi, Saag Paneer, Ice Cream, Salmon

Four places you’d rather be: Riding my bike along the beach, skiiing on a decent slope with perfect snow, my wedding reception (it was a blast), my new home completely unpacked and fixed up.

Four albums you can’t live without: The Beatles’ “Abbey Road”, The Ramones’ “Leave Home”, something more recent like Superdrag’s “In The Valley Of Dying Stars” or the first Ben Folds Five album, & probably something fun from the 30’s like Harry Reser, Cliff Edwards, or George Formby.

Since this is the meme of four, I’m going to pass this on to Ezra Klein, Oliver Willis, Atrios, & my friend in TMW-land, Tom Tomorrow.
