Four Things

| 3 Comments

Some people are too cool for memes.

I'm not. In fact, I was just waiting on Donaville to get tagged, because I knew she'd tag me. Isn't that sad?

Four jobs I've had in my life

  1. Senior Web Author, Intel Corp. - This is my current job. It's awesome.
  2. Web Technician and Media Designer, Foundation for Teaching Economics
  3. Tutor, Partners in Learning - I know it sounds corny, but helping kids succeed is one of the most fulfilling things I've ever done.
  4. Food Service Worker I, Cuarto dorm area - Everyone starts somewhere. I started behind the French fries and roast chicken.

Four movies I can watch over and over

  1. Willow "What are you gonna look like if this works?" "Don't interrupt." "Sorry." "I'm a young, beautiful woman." "Concentrate, Willow!"
  2. Braveheart "I can fight." "I know. I know you can fight. But it's our wits that make us men."
  3. The Two Towers "Your bodyguard?" "His gardener."
  4. The Bourne Identity "I can tell you the license plate numbers of all six cars outside. I can tell you that our waitress is left-handed and the guy sitting up at the counter weighs two hundred fifteen pounds and knows how to handle himself. I know the best place to look for a gun is the cab of the gray truck outside, and at this altitude, I can run flat out for a half mile before my hands start shaking. Now why would I know that? How can I know that and not know who I am?"

Star Wars didn't make the list. Surprised?

Four places I have lived

  1. Antananarivo, Madagascar
  2. Burlington, Vermont
  3. Nairobi, Kenya
  4. Lovely, lovely Davis, California

Four TV shows I love to watch

  1. Star Trek: Deep Space Nine - I know this disappoints some of you.
  2. Homicide: Life on the Streets - Only ever saw a few episodes, but it was enough to convince me that this was one of the greatest shows ever aired.
  3. Alias - Before it started getting weird, anyways.
  4. The Simpsons - Remarkably perceptive social commentary. And it's funny, too.

Four places I have been on vacation

  1. South Africa
  2. Singapore
  3. Mauritius
  4. Lately...Davis, CA. I should get out more.

Four of my favorite dishes

  1. Honey walnut prawns - Oh man. Confession: I've had them twice in the past four days. Fat's does them just right. Mmmmm.
  2. Chin jiu chicken - from Ding How. Oh yes.
  3. Chow fun - because it's so fun to eat.
  4. A shared Super Giant Burrito - because I figured I should have a non-Asian dish on here.

Four websites I visit daily

  1. del.icio.us/popular
  2. Stylegala
  3. Pandora
  4. Facebook

Four places I would rather be right now

  1. In bed.
  2. In heaven.
  3. Madagascar
  4. Mongolia

Four bloggers I am tagging

  1. My brother.
  2. Brian.
  3. Hmmmm...I can't think of anyone else I know who's actively blogging and hasn't done this.

i had to google mauritius b/c i had no idea of that island's existence before today. it sounded more like the melding of the name of a character on the x-files: maurita covarubius (i think i butchered the spelling of her first name).

i thought you'd list 'gladiator' as one of your favorite movies. i almost did, but fantasia beat it by a smidgen.

Suh-weet! I got tagged! My first tag! I shout for joy! ;-)

It's a good feeling when you can call your job 'Awesome,' isn't it?

Nice list - funny how being "in bed" topped being "in heaven".
What number does being "at work" come to?
