Information about me no one needs

I got these questions from Spinning Girl and they seemed like good questions so I answered them. Like her, I added a bonus answer to each of the questions. Let's see what I came up with:

Four jobs you have had in your life:

Radio copywriter/producer/voice
Bookstore manager
Freelance writer
Corporate stooge (as in manager – whatever the hell that means)
+ Surgeon (most amusing since blood makes me faint)

Four movies you could watch over and over (and have):

The Party (Peter Sellers)
Planes, Trains and Automobiles
My Man Godfrey
Once Upon a Time in the West
+ Sin City (Yes, I’m the only person who thought it was ca-ca)

Four places you've lived:

Burlington, Ontario
Toronto, Ontario
Ottawa, Ontario
Edmonton, Alberta
+ in a Pacific Rim brothel

Four TV shows you love to watch:

Firefly
Columbo
Letterman
+ Entertainment Tonight

Four places you've been on vacation:

Maritimes (Prince Edward Island, New Brunswick)
Rimbey, also Caroline, Alberta (vicinity of both - the middle of nothing)
Kaslo, British Columbia
Tobermory, Ontario (I seem to be restricted to Canada)
+ Disneyland

Four websites you visit daily:

Good grief. Better to ask for four I DON’T visit.

Four of your favorite foods:

Raspberries
Raspberry-peach cheesecake
Stuffing – with turkey, mashed potatoes and white wine
Salmon (preferably with little fancy-ass dressing up – just the salmon)
Oysters – especially the ones I use to get at the Mikado in Edmonton
+ cauliflower

Four places you'd rather be right now:

On a beach, late afternoon, waves shushing on the shore
On a beach, late afternoon, waves shushing on the shore
On a beach, late afternoon, waves shushing on the shore
On a beach, late afternoon, waves shushing on the shore
+ in a crowded noisy bar, fucking bass pounding like a hammer

Update: I just had to add this ... I found a little something my personality type (INFP, if you're familiar with the Meyers-Briggs things). One of the things it says is:

"When it comes to the mundane details of life maintenance, INFPs are typically completely unaware of such things. They might go for long periods without noticing a stain on the carpet, but carefully and meticulously brush a speck of dust off of their project booklet."

I howled! You've no idea how dead on that is!

  • I'm going to Letterman on Tuesday in NYC. I promised a big shout out to Egan if I get any face time.

    I noticed that you didn't list salt, butter and sugar as any of your favorite foods. Hmmmm....

  • It's hilarious actually ... A few years ago I had some friends over and made coffee. So I've cream but one of them asks for sugar.

    "Sugar? Uh ... I don't have any sugar."

    So the next day I went out and bought a small bag of sugar for such possibilities. It's still sitting in a cupboard. I'm not sure if I ever even opened it.
