Okay (Deep breath...

So, clearly it's been a while. And I'd like to hopefully get a couple of things taken care of here, but we'll see.

First off, just to get started again, I'll pick up where Rob left off, tagging me:

4 jobs I've had:
-Field Hand, commercial hog farm: I learned very quickly that I would rather make my living with my head, rather than my back.
-Foodservice: dishwasher, salads and bread, line cook, sous chef, Asst. Chef, waiter/server, bar-back, bartender, doorman, even BOUNCER for crying out loud!!!! Anyway, I've had them all. Not a bad way to get through high school and college.
-Car Rental Agency, Branch Manager: No, really. Only not for Enterpirse, though. So just get that "We'll pick you up!!" bullshit out of your head.
-Pyramid Huckster: Umm, yeah. That lasted about a day. But I've got to come clean and get it out there.

4 Movies I would watch over and over again:
-Apocalpse Now. Since I've had to answer this question so many freakin' times, I have to have a #1.
-The Shining. Can anyone say "Lonliness is a bitch?!?!?"
-The Hunt for Red October If only for the fact that I've already watched it over and over, while laying on the couch over lazy weekends.
-Heat. Because I want to be Neal (Robt. DeNiro), ...only not die.

4 Places I've lived:
-220 E. M. A large 5 bedroom, two story prairie house. Hardwood floors and 10' high ceilings.
-913 N. P. My folks bought the pool. The house just happened to come with it.
-1041 7 A. A four-plex. My next door neighbor (& fellow bartender) and I would see who could make their girlfriend come loudest on any given night, then compare notes the next day.
-523 E 44 B. My current abode. Too bad I don't own it, because it's got some real potential.

4 TV Shows I Like:
-West Wing, although I've only watched up throught the 3rd or 4th season.
-South Park, becasue it's insolent
-The Colbert Report. The man has figured out how to work both sides of the aisle.
-Law and Order (the original) It's the US legal system in bite-sized, easily digestable portions. Nothing whatsoever what the REAL system is like. Or is it?

4 Favorite Books:
-The Stand-Unabridged, Stephen King. Same with Movies above, I've got my stock answer.
-A Sense of Direction, William Ball. An afirmation that I truly did know what I was doing, arriving at just the right time to be effective.
-It's A Magical World-A Calvin and Hobbes Collection, Bill Watterson. Yep!
-Never the Sinner, John Logan. Never has a piece of literature moved and compelled me as this play did.

4 Places I've Vacationed:
-Washington, DC
-Playa del Carmen, Mexico
-Nassau, Bahamas
-New York City, NY

4 Websites I visit daily:
-The Facts
-The Local Canon
-A True Believer
-Mary Tyler Moore

4 Favorite Foods:
-A great steak, cooked to order.
-A properly prepared pasta.
-A frresh, energetic and receptive yanni.
-A well-crafted cocktail or well-aged wine.
