A Meme; or, Ms. Reads Feels the Burden of Work

I have Just Been Tagged, Gentle Reader, by Supadiscomama, and as she controls the Reads' access to Her Adorable Child, I thought that I should comply, forthwith.

4 jobs I've had in life:
1) Like all Liberal Arts Majors, I have worked in retail, selling entertainment.
2) I have also waited tables.
3) Teaching, of course.
4) Answering phones.

4 places I've lived:
1) Louisiana
2) Small College Town in Big American State
(that's all, sadly)

4 favorite foods:
1) Indian (esp. curry chicken and tikka masala)
2) Greek/Lebanese (esp. gyro and falafel)
3) sushi
4) fried shrimp po-boys

4 places I'd rather be:
1) Scotland
2) the Pacific Northwest
3) London
4) Chicago

4 movies I can watch over and over:
1) Moulin Rouge!
2) North and South
3) The Princess Bride
4) Pride and Prejudice (BBC)

4 t.v. shows I like to watch:
1) Buffy the Vampire Slayer
2) Firefly
3) The Office
4) Deadwood (which Mr. Reads and I are watching currently)

4 websites I view daily:

4) My Dell laptop (currently)

4 people to tag:
Hmm, let's see. I'm really Not Sure who has done this already, so I Apologize if I tag repetitiously.

1) Matthew at Legion Abstract
2) Mr. Fanboy at Mister Fanboy
3) Robyn at First-Person Narrator
4) Ragtime at Comic Book Thoughts


Unfortunately, that is all I have the mindset for today, given the heat (!), my dissertation chapter revision (!!), and my still-baffled thoughts on the conclusion of Amazons Attack (!!!).

Hi Matthew,

No worries! Thanks for playing along.

I, too, love chocolate milk, particularly the kind you find in cafeterias.

Mr. Reads and I just had a conversation today about the term "record store" versus "CD store." We both determined "record store" was infinitely more descriptive.

I adore That Thing You Do! Excellent choice!
Ciao,

Hi Swinebread,

I do! Desperately and completely. I abhor the sun (That Wicked Dayball as We Reads call it), and only enjoy its rays when it is blissfully cool outside. I do my best thinking when it's raining, and as My Profession requires Lots of Thinking, then rain, rain, rain all the time is preferable.
Ciao,
Amy
