meme (from John)

Four jobs I’ve had in my life
-Legal Secretary (blech)
-Guardian (read: babysitter) for foreign high school students
-Janitor (for LDS Institute)
-coffeemaker/server for UCI cafe (funny, a Mo girl doing this job--the first day all of the coffee was full of grounds because I didn't know about coffee filters. One customer told me that he really did like "chewing" his morning coffee)

Four movies I can watch over and over
-It's a Wonderful Life
-George of the Jungle
-Princess Bride
-Lady Jane
-Moulin Rouge
[couldn't stop at just 4...]

Four places I have lived
-Tulsa, OK
-Englewood, CO
-Salt Lake City, UT
-Bakersfield, CA

Four TV shows I love to watch
-What Not to Wear (what can I say, it makes me cry...)
-Deadwood (not for family viewing, but a must-see for a historian of the Am West)
-Thin Blue Line (super-funny Rowan Atkinson sitcom)
-Moonlighting (it's a classic!)

Four places I have been on vacation
-Suzhou, China
-Paris, France
-The Isle of Man, UK
-Canterbury, England

Four of my favourite dishes
-Oatmeal w/fresh fruit from The Stand (vegan restaurant in Laguna Beach)
-Healthy Crunchy roll from SushiWave
-Portobello and ‘Sausage Burger’ at Native Foods
-anything John is cooking

Four websites I visit daily (besides mindonfire)
-dooce
-eee
-freecycleirvine
-chudachek

Four places I would rather be right now
-Cambria, waking up to the morning sun from our campsite in a grassy meadow, then heading off to the TeaCozy to get warm
-Paris, in the Rodin garden. With John, C & E at my side.
-Canterbury, enjoying the dawn chorus and seeing the morning sun reflecting off of the cathedral spires
-lying in a patch of sun taking a nap w/a cat on my back
-riding the electric train down the coast from Laxey, IOM. Where huge fuschia bushes grow wild along the tracks.

Hey Jana,
You are too brief! You have lived in other places, too, and visited other places! I guess you just wanted a few "teasers". Nice list. It makes one think.

Yah, the point of this meme was just as a teaser, or a "get to know you" kind of thing.

I think it's the first time that I've posted one on my blog, but I've passed them around w/friends via email pretty often. They can be v. fun and sometimes surprising! :)
