stream of consciousness

Tag, I'm it.

Four jobs I have had:

• Handbag sales associate at Macy's in high school and freshman year of college
• hostess at a now-defunct asian fusion restaurant in nyc
• model for cache
• public relations intern for a brokerage firm on wall street

Four movies I could watch over and over:-

• goonies (oodles and i have this in common)
• shawshank redemption (love me some tim robbins)
• BIG (gotta love tom hanks)
• ice age

Four places I've lived:

• jersey city, nj -- till wee age of 2
• clifton, nj -- up until the tender age of 17
• new york city -- from 17-23
• washington, dc/silver spring, md -- 23-present

Four TV shows I love to watch: (i'll limit this to current shows)

• Lost (though i hate storylines centering on charlie and jack)
• my name is earl
• gilmore girls (it's lost some of its initial appeal but i still love the show maybe only b/c everyone says i talk like lorelai)
• project runway (the one reality show where people are competing for a job by demonstrating actual talent
  

Four places I've been on vacation: (in order of most recent to least)

• miami
• new orleans, la (i'm so grateful to have visited one of my favorite cities while it was still the same big easy we all remember)
• acapulco, mexico
• orlando, fl

Four of my favorite foods:

• anything with cheese
• anything with mushrooms
• anything with shrimp
• anything spicy

Four places I'd rather be right now [this one stumped me b/c i've never been to wish i was elsewhere. i'm happy with my location at all times (generally speaking). i'll assume this means places i'd like to be at some point in life]:

• argentina
• czech republic
• morocco
• malaysia

Four sites I visit daily:

• gmail
• bloglines
• westlaw/lexis nexis
• dlisted

Four books I can reread perpetually: (i added this since i'm not going to tag bloggers):

• anna karenina (any book or movie that refers to my all-time favorite book is a-ok with me! even if it's music from another room)
• a separate peace (gene had it right, saracasm is a defense for the weak)
• oh the places you'll go!
• a fine balance (anna karenina is my favorite novel to read but this is my other favorite novel b/c if i had an iota of rohinton mistry's talent, i'd be writing in this style).

Four bloggers I am tagging:

• it wouldn't be right for me to tag anyone for 2 reasons: 1) my infrequent updates give me no right to inflict this on someone else; 2) everyone else has probably already done it by now
