I'm It

Curses, for I have been tagged by my fiendish Younger Younger Sister. Damn blog tag. Whatever happened to TV tag? Very well, then.

Four jobs I’ve had

  1. Music teacher (chorus, orchestra, band, and currently guitar). Despite what you may think, this requires an entirely different skill set from being a . . . .
  2. Musician.
  3. Production assistant for With Good Reason on WCVE-FM Public Radio. Yeah, it only lasted 2 weeks, but I learned how to splice audio tape. On a 15-ips reel-to-reel. With a white grease pencil and a razor blade. ProTools, my ass.
  4. Video store customer service associate. Be kind. Rewind.

Four movies I can watch over and over

  1. It's A Wonderful Life. Easily in the top five movies ever made, and if you can't at least appreciate why I say that, then you have a mildewy dishrag for a soul.
  2. Aladdin. No, I can't explain why. Saw it 6 times in the movie theater when it came out, with different people each time. Guess it was just good times.
  3. The Shawshank Redemption. Go ahead, try and turn it off when it comes on TNT for the X-teenth time this month. I dare you.
  4. Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Insert your favorite line here. ("Couldn't I just have a little peril?")

Four places I’ve lived

  1. Robinwood Drive, Chesterfield, VA
  2. Cloisters West AND Cloisters East, Richmond, VA
  3. Chase Wellesley Drive, Richmond, VA
  4. Braeburn Drive, Richmond, VA

Please do not mock me.

Four TV shows I love

  1. The West Wing
  2. Homicide: Life On The Street
  3. The Daily Show
  4. Scrubs

If you haven't seen them, go forth and do so. Catch West Wing quick before it goes off the air in May. As for Homicide, stop by, I'll lend you my DVD's.

Four places I've vacationed

  1. Cancun
  2. Staunton, VA--don't knock it till you've tried it
  3. Nags Head, NC
  4. Charleston, SC

Four of my favorite dishes

  1. Pizza. The 4 greatest words in the English language? All together now: Pizza Hut Lunch Buffet.
  2. My lovely wife Jen can make all kinds of awesome stuff, but I'm an especially big fan of her pumpkin bread. Ask my co-workers--they'll tell you.
  3. I make a lemon parsley chicken dish that rocks, thank you very much.
  4. There is (I assume there still is) a restaurant in Nags Head called The Dunes that makes the best hush puppies on the planet. Siblings, can I get an a-men on this?

Four sites I visit daily

  1. Frazz
  2. The Musical Instrument Makers' Forum
  3. My local weather
  4. IMDB

Four places I would rather be right now

  1. Right now I'm home with my wife and my cats, and that's pretty cool with me. But if I must choose 3 alternatives . . . .
  2. Jamaica
  3. The moon
  4. Onstage

Four bloggers I am tagging

Dammit, all the bloggers I know have been tagged, except my wife.
