Four Jobs I’ve Had:
- Newspaper subscription telemarketer
- Credit information verifier
- Cashier
- Bus driver
Four Movies I Can Watch Over and Over:
- Silverado (the 'form' is Western, but they pack mystery, action, romance, comedy, and a fair bit of intrigue into it)
- Better Off Dead (from John Cusack's teen-movie phase)
- Independence Day (Judd Hirsch is great in this, as are Randy Quaid [yes, really!] and Bill... Pullman? Paxton? I get them confused)
- Canadian Bacon (no explanations, no excuses, I just like it. Michael Moore needs to make more narrative movies. And it's great the way he got Canadian actors to play up Canadian stereotypes -- John Lithgow, Steven Wright, etc.)
- BONUS: The Core (hey, with Stanley Tucci [The Man], Delroy Lindo [also The Man], and Alfre Woodard showing the others how to act, how could I NOT watch?)
Four -- no, Three Places I’ve Lived:
- White Plains, NY, USA
- Fort Bragg, Fayetteville, NC, USA (just a couple of weeks, from what I'm told -- it was supposed to be longer, until my mother saw a mouse!)
- Mount Vernon, NY, USA
Four TV Shows I Love to Watch:
- Monk (Tony Shalhoub is yet another Man)
- My Name Is Earl (small-screen Raising Arizona)
- Half and Half (mostly to stare at Essence Atkins and Rachel True, I admit)
- Caliente (outdoor Spanish-language Soul Train)
Four Places I’ve Been on Vacation:
- Disney World
- Myrtle Beach (SC)
- Virginia Beach (VA)
- Martha's Vineyard (MA)
Four of My Favorite Dishes:
- Beef stroganoff
- Corned beef
- Lasagna
- Stewed chicken (with curry)
Four Websites I Visit Daily:
- DeviantArt
- MySpace
- Jazzyville
- My personalized Google front page -- I have games...
Four Places I Would Rather Be Right Now:
- Hawaii
- Grand Canyon
- Mount St. Helens (Washington State, US -- that is, if it's not about to erupt again)
- US Virgin Islands
Last four CD's I bought:
- Different Strokes by Different Folks, by Sly & the Family Stone with new music added by current stars (some great stuff here, and some stuff better left unlistened to)
- Can You Dig It?: The Ultimate Isaac Hayes, by Isaac Hayes
- Soundtrack from Shaft, by Isaac Hayes (I bought Can You Dig It specifically hoping that it would have the 19-minute-plus version of "Do Your Thing," where the musicians live up to the song's title. But it only had the three-minute radio version. The CD liner notes said the full-length song was on the Shaft soundtrack, so I went out and bought that the next day)
- The Cosmic Game, by Thievery Corporation
