Four Reasons to Kill a Meme

Blame Tom for the tagging by implication.

Four Jobs I’ve Had

1. Food Service Drone: I won’t say where, but I’ll never eat there again.
2. Attorney General: Florida State had a very well-developed student government – I got paid and everything.
3. Congressional Aide: underpaid, underutilized, but once you get outside the Beltway it definitely sounds impressive.
4. Webmaster: When I worked for a D.C. non-profit, we saved money by having a lawyer – me – maintain the organization’s website. They later had multiple waves of layoffs.

Four Movies I Can Watch Anytime

1. Highlander: The original, not any of the sequels which I have fortunately never seen. There should have been only one.
2. The Incredibles: Great story, fantastic production, and really, who doesn’t have the hots for Elastigirl?
3. Blade Runner: One of the best science fiction movies of all time.
4. Reservoir Dogs: Tarantino’s never been better.

Four Places I’ve Lived

1. Cleveland, Ohio Until I was three.
2. Orlando, Florida Until I was five.
3. Evanston, Illinois With a view of Lake Michigan.
4. Washington, D.C. In the shadow of the Capitol.

Four TV Shows I Love

1. Lost: Now, when anyone asks me for a number between 3 and 43, I have several attractive options.
2. Battlestar Galactica: This version is as good as I thought the first production was when I was a highly discriminating eight-year-old.
3. Entourage: I want Ari Gold to be my agent, just so I can steal all his best lines.
4. Rome: The HBO version is a lot more interesting than the version I learned from my high school Latin teacher.

Four Places I’ve Vacationed

1. The Soviet Union: The summer before the Berlin Wall fell – Moscow, Kiev, Yalta, and Leningrad.
2. China: The following summer – British Hong Kong, Shanghai, and Beijing.
3. Budapest, Hungary: Where my mother-in-law knew just enough Hungarian to call out the waiter for talking about us behind our backs.
4. Salzburg, Austria: Probably my favorite city in continental Europe, especially at Christmas.

Four of My Favorite Dishes

1. Chili: If it’s on the menu, I’m ordering a bowl, because I’m a total chili slut. It doesn’t even have to be good.
2. Steak: Preferably so rare that it complains when I cut it.
3. Dineen’s Sunday morning breakfast casserole: Sausage, cheese, potatoes – everything a man needs for healthy living.
4. Lamb shank: Layalina, a Lebanese restaurant in Arlington, Virginia, serves it up just right.

Four Sites I Visit Daily

1. Redstate: Helps me track the barking moonbats.
2. Deadspin: Because when they make a football pick, I know to bet the other way.
3. Kinja: But I’m not so keen on the way they’ve revamped it, so that may change soon.
4. $mainstream-media-site: Whatever headlines pop up in my RSS feeds that look fun.

Four Places I’d Rather Be Right Now

1. Pretty much any part of Hawaii.
2. Austin because I’ve never had a bad time in Texas – especially in early March.
3. Hilton Head, South Carolina, preferably in a beach house in Sea Pines Plantation.
4. Tallahassee, Florida where you don’t have to look far to find a good party.

Four people I’m going to tag

I think I’m the last person to indulge this meme. If you haven’t, feel free to do so and add a comment with a link.
