A Meme for August

Wed., August 9, 11:06 AM

This meme is well-traveled, I think, but I found this version with Kitchen Logic. I do these things to remind myself that it wasn’t as boring as all that…and because I love to write code and pretend that I’m a programmer.

FOUR THINGS YOU MAY NOT KNOW ABOUT ME:

Four jobs I have had in my life: This is hard for me, because I’ve written about most of my jobs already – usually in detail.

  1. Database builder for the Christmas Seals association. (It was so long ago that we didn’t even know the word database!)
  2. Kitchen assistant in a college dorm.
  3. Typist in the Mathematics Office. (I typed math exams, among other things.)
  4. Proofreader. I’ve always done it as part of anything else I was doing, but I may as well mention – once more – the book I worked on most recently. Home

Four movies I would watch over and over:

  1. A League of Their Own
  2. Somewhere in Time
  3. My Fair Lady (or any good musical)
  4. Field of Dreams

Four places you have lived: If you read many of my posts, you’ll know I can list the individual buildings on my fingers. But the cities…

  1. Stamford, Connecticut
  2. Storrs, Connecticut
  3. New York, New York
  4. New Haven, Connecticut

Four TV shows you love to watch:

  1. CSI – all of them, but especially Las Vegas
  2. NUMB3RS
  3. Match Game or Password (old versions on the Game Show Network)
  4. Eureka (new on the SciFi channel)

Four places you have been on vacation:

  1. Los Angeles and San Francisco, California
  2. St. Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands (a week for us and families, courtesy of my employer)
  3. London, England
  4. Portland, Oregon

Four of my favorite foods:

  1. Ice cream, of course
  2. Eggplant, Romanian style
  3. Broiled beef, especially a good steak
  4. Stir-fried vegetables

Four songs that remind me of summer: Four? The radio was on all the time! And my dad sang. Not to mention that I brought a collection of lyrics whenever our gang had a party. I’ll tell you about one.

When we were in high school, we spent a lot of summer days on a boat that belonged to the family of my friend A. Whenever I hear “Hey There,” from the “Pajama Game,” I remember sitting on the deck with my friend Michael, working on the duet. I don’t know what happened to Michael; his name is too common to search for him.

Four places I would rather be right now: (Almost anywhere, right?)

  1. London
  2. New York
  3. San Francisco
  4. The international space station
