Head Tale

As I mentioned
in my last entry, there's a web meme going around in the
blogosphere.  As I am with blogs, I'm also sort of ambivalent
about these types of memes.  But since I'm in a “let's play this
game” mode right now, here we go…

Four Jobs I've Had
I've got some listed on my resume elsewhere on this site (not linked
from the blog at this moment but will be eventually – definitely by the
time I do my 505 Web Design assignment – hint, hint) so let's pick four
wacky jobs I've done instead…
–
garbage dump supervisor (such as it is – mainly just collecting a
loonie from people who wanted to dump their garbage at our town dump
one summer)
– removing church pews and pulling up carpet at a  Catholic church
– door-to-door cable TV salesman in rural Saskatchewan
– goal judge for a senior men's hockey team

Four movies I can watch over and over
Princess Bride
Trainspotting
Star Wars (at least I could when I was 10!)
Brassed Off

Four TV Shows I Love to Watch
The Daily Show
Survivor (I know, guilty pleasure)

(Those are the only two I watch without fail every week)
Corner Gas
Hockey Night in Canada

Four Places I've Been on Vacation
Mazatlan Mexico
Mayan Riviera Mexico
Cancun Mexico
and…Hawaii

Four Favorite Dishes
Anything Shea makes (that sounds like a kiss-up but she's an awesome
wicked cook.  Specialties?  Jambalaya, kung-pow, chicken corn
chowder and more.  Her buffalo burger might be the best thing I've
ever had in my mouth in my life.)
Korean Beef
Orgasmic Potato (a baked potato with everything – I mean everything –
on it: cheese, sour cream, tomatoes, mushrooms, corn, hot sauce, salsa,
pepper, salt, bacon bits, onions, peppers)
Pizza (any kind but usually Canadian or spinach/feta)

Four Websites I Visit Daily
Google (this is a cop-out pick – who doesn't?)
Metafilter
CalgaryPuck Message Board
Canoe News (it's the default page for my e-mail program)

Four Places I'd Rather Be
Right now, it'd be nice to be back in Saskatchewan as it was my mom's birthday yesterday.
London, England instead of London, Ontario
Playa del Carmen, Mexico
Perth Australia

Four Books I Recommend
Skipped Parts – Tim Sandlin (Fiction)
Down To This: Squalor and Splendour in a Big City Shanty-Town – Shaughnessy Bishop-Stall (NF)
Behold The Man – Michael Moorcock (SF)
Space-Station Seventh Grade – Jerry Spinelli

(God, that was hard to pick just four.  I could list forty.)

Four Bloggers I'm Tagging
Not sure if I will or not (probably not since I didn't get tagged to
this in the first place) but maybe Jillian Bell, Jason Bird, Jennifer
(aka Canuck Librarian) and Quinn?  Oh, and look what I found on
Jennifer's blog – some confused-looking guy at the Ontario Library
Association conference…
