Vyvyan, I've just received this meme-o.
I have been tagged by Name Hidden.
Four jobs you've had in your life:
The weirdest ones were: Lab Technician at PPG, wherein I investigated new chemicals for paper recycling. My job was to make paper every day, all day. It was really interesting for about a week. High school Physics teacher. Meat slicer at the Shop 'n' Save Deli. Marketing Coordinator for GAI Consultants. This was the most uncomfortable job of my entire life, and I only lasted a year. If I started ranting about THIS company, I'd need a whole separate blog. This was the job that convinced me, finally, that self-employment was my only option. It is also probably responsible for at least 40% of my current misanthropy. Fighting... urge.... to.... start.... RAAAANNNNTING!
Four movies you could watch over and over:
Real Genius (How embarrassing, but I DO watch it over and over. It's light and it makes me laugh every time.) Persuasion (Captain Wentworth, take me away! Seriously. Please.) The LOTR Trilogy (Counts as one. Sue me.) To Kill a Mockingbird (Grgory Peck at his sexiest. I love him.)
Four places you've lived:
Pittsburgh, PA. Latrobe, PA. Morgantown, WV. Export, PA. I've never moved very far. But I have travelled!
Four TV shows you love to watch:
The Office (Any version. See 4th job, above). M*A*S*H (Any time, any place, any season, I love it. I think Hawkeye Pierce might be the only liberal I could ever love.) American Idol (Again, sue me.) Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Of course.)
Four places you've been on vacation:
Kill Devil Hills, NC. The British Isles (London, The West Country, Stonehenge and Dublin). The Alps (Slovenia, Austria, Germany). Las Vegas (Viva!)
Four websites you visit daily:
Many of my blogroll, Pogo (games), Merriam-Webster Online, Weather Channel (I'm a gold member. I'm geek. I'm wearing a Weather Channel hat right now.)
Four of your favorite foods:
Pasta Marinara (My own - would you believe it?). Dalawi from Aladdin's Eatery in Squirrel Hill (Vegetarian stuffed grape leaves. So tangy. So delicious.) Portobella and Tofu Fajitas from Mad Mex (Again, so tangy, so sizzly, so spicy.) Snow Crab Legs (if they are done in a steamer, by someone who knows how to handle seafood properly. But I admit it, a good crab leg lets me get out my inner cavewoman. I like to snap them and dip them and eat them. I like to grunt while I do this. I like to pound the table and make guttural noises when I'm ready for another beer. Then I go back to tofu and civility.)
Four places you'd rather be:
See vacation spots, above. Add Hawaii.
Four albums you can't live without:
Crikey, I dunno. There are so many.
Four+ to pass this meme along to:
Darrell, Wendy, Lorna

Come on!!! Rant about GAI!!! Let's hear it!!! ;)
"mmmMMMMLazlo BUDDY!!!" Excellent movie.
So do you prefer snow crabs over king crabs?
Great list.
I've never had king crab. It looks hard to crack. I'm a bit of a crab NEWBIE. ha ha
I may start ranting about GAI. It seems silly, though, because it was like 10 years ago now.
OOOooo! To Kill a Mockingbird. I LOVE that movie. I actually did the play before grad school. I played Boo Radley. The director wanted to use me as Atticus but she said I was too young (I was 30 but if you know me, I look about 10 years younger, so yeah, I was too young.) So I asked if she used me if I could play Boo. LOVED playing that role. Last two minutes of the show but talk about impact. Never failed to get a gasp out of folks when they saw me for the first time. Fun, fun, fun play and a BEAUTIFUL story.
Mmm, Captain Wentworth. Oh yeah.
I'm always in the mood for a good rant. Let's hear about GAI. :-)
Ahh, my verification work is drkno. Dr. K No! Why is this freaking me out?? I don't know!
Hey, finally getting around to checking e-mail, blogs, posting movie reviews, etc... I'll do this Saturday. I hope.
Finally!
If Hawkeye Peirce is the only liberal you could love, is there any hope for socialists in that GIA-ruined heart?
