meme of four

Nobody has passed this meme to me, which is, I gather, how it's supposed to be caught. also, I think the blog memes are, um, a waste of time, so I tend neither to read nor write them. Why the meme of four has attracted me to waste my time on it, I do not know, except to say that it's December 24th and what, I'm gonna go shopping?

Actually, I guess the reason I'm doing it is becauseDigby did, and it was interesting.

Four jobs you've had in your life: bookstore clerk, software developer, academic administrator, teaching assistant.

Four movies you could watch over and over: I am completely stumped on this one. I can recall movies from my early adulthood that I did watch over and over, but none that I now would like to watch over and over. Weird. At one time or another, I was really into each of the following four movies: Tank Girl, Dangerous Liaisons, Real Genius, and Better Off Dead. But the most recent movie on this list, Tank Girl, dates from my hippy punkish college days, and so is getting up near 10 years old. I honestly cannot think of a movie that I've wanted to watch over and over that is more recent than this. Mostly, I switched to watching my favorite Buffy episodes over and over (see below, TV shows.) Four favorite Buffy episodes, then: The Musical, Graduation Day (both parts), Hush, Conversations with Dead People.

Four places you've lived: Billings, Montana; Cambridge, Massachusetts; Miami, Florida; Maryland.

Four TV shows you love to watch: We have no television reception. However, on various recordable media we have: Buffy, Angel, Firefly, and Seinfeld.

Four places you've been on vacation: Budapest, New Zealand, Rajasthan, Guatemala.

Four websites you visit daily: (through my RSS reader, NetNewsWire) NYT, Boston Globe, Cursor.org, and the usual lefty blogger suspects.

Four of your favorite foods: stinky cheese, ripe tomatoes still warm from the vine, anything cooked by my mother-in-law, Max's blueberry pie.

Four places you'd rather be: in bed, on the beach on the French side of St. Martin, looking out over a glacier in high summer in the Swiss alps, swimming at Great Guana Cay, Abaco, Bahamas.
