Do re meme
February 5th, 2006 ~ Just a slice of heavenOkay, I’ve never had to do one of these before, but since I’ve been tagged, so I guess I can do my time:
- Four jobs you have had in your life
Letter-reader for Robert Schuller Ministries
Print spotter for a photography studio — you use dyes and a paintbrush to paint in the white dots made on the print when there’s dust on the negative. I’m sure this job is done much more accurately by computer now, but it was a good entry level job for a graphic artist. Mind-numbing, but steady.
Credit card inspector
Newspaper advertising artist - Four movies you could watch over and over
Amadeus
Glengarry Glen Ross
Beauty and the Beast
Groundhog Day — and no, I did not just say that because Orthodixie said it. - Four places you have lived
London, England
Dhahran, Saudi Arabia
Huntington Beach, California
Hobart, Indiana - Four TV shows you love to watch
My Favorite Martian
Black Adder
British Men Behaving Badly — BBC-America doesn’t show this nearly as often as it should IMHO
The Bugs Bunny/Roadrunner Hour — okay, I’m going back a few years here, but y’know, good times! - Four places you have been on vacation
Carson City, Nevada — mom’s house :-)
British Isles
Newport, Rhode Island — my favorite stop on a New England cruise
Lone Jack, MO; Sedalia, MO; Warrenton, MO — my favorite road trip so far - Four Websites you visit daily
Drudge Report
Townhall
Yahoo News
Those are the only ones I could say I do daily. But on the “very frequent” list: Orthodixie, Michelle Malkin, Orthodoxy Today and too many others to mention. Oh, and Dictionary.com and Thesaurus.com. What, you think these entries write themselves? - Four of your favorite foods
Krunchie bar — British chocolate bar. Too good for words
ClaimJumper Chocolate Cheesecake — It is a complete disgrace that the ClaimJumper restaurant chain hasn’t made it to the Midwest
Won ton soup
Panera’s tomato bisque soup - Four places you’d rather be right now
Hmm. Well, in bed, for one. It’s late and Greg has already gone, which means he’ll have hogged all the covers by now.
Carson City, Nevada — it’d only be 9:15 right now, and my sister and I could yak for a couple hours
Kauai — the Garden Island of Hawaii. I’d like to think if I could find some balmy, isolated spot to lie on the sand and look at the stars
some unnamed meadow — I’ve always had a pastoral hankering for a place so completely quiet that it only exists in my mind, in a painting … in Psalm 23: The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; He leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul. - Four blogs you are tagging
Wellll, like Fr. Joseph, I wouldn’t want anyone to feel like they had to, but let’s see about:
Pithless Thoughts
Journeyman James
Morning Coffee (heck, Alana, you were complaining about not having anything to blog about!)
Minor Clergy
There! I suppose this is just a step on the road to ruin. Next, I’ll probably start actually forwarding all the e-mails I get that say, “Don’t delete this!! THIS really works!!! If you don’t send this to ten people in the next twenty minutes, you’ll wake up with FERRETS in your pajamas!!!”

Ya. I was an army brat, so we got around. I just picked a few for fun. My father was a military attache, so my first memories are from England. After he retired from the military, he joined the Arab American Oil Co., and I got a summer in Saudi Arabia — NOT a good place in summer. Settled in southern California from 19-36, then to NW Indiana, then to the Midwest. I’m an old middle-aged lady now and I think my rolling-stone days are over. But I like to travel a bit anyway.

BTW, thanks for accepting the challenge. :)
And, furthermore, Fr Elias *was* surprised (shocked, I believe you’d said) when I greeted him in your name.
Keep up the good work, Grace.
