Auntie Meme
It's been quite a while since I've done one of these Internet weblog meme things. But since Rick of Stuck on the Palmetto "tagged" me (as I understand it, that's how the cool kids say they want you to play along with their game), I'll play along. Work has drained me of any sort of creativity for today, anyway.
Here are Rick's answers to the 4 Things Meme, for reference. And for what it is worth, here are mine.

Footnotes
1: These are not the longest lasting or most interesting jobs I've held, just those I can mention publicly. 2: These are not necessarily my favorite movies, just films I can watch over and over again. 3: I don't have cable, so I don't watch current TV much at all. I enjoy my DVDs of the old Twilight Zone episodes and the original animated Batman series, and wish terribly that they would release a decent edition of Twin Peaks. Frank's Place is one of my all-time favorite TV shows, but it's never been syndicated or released on VHS or DVD, so I can only watch it in my memories, these days. 4: I like to eat, so these are four out of dozens.

Okay. So how does one "tag" another? How, exactly, does this meme work?
I was supposed to name four bloggers to propagate their own versions of the list on their own sites. As a side effect of being a mail administrator I tend not to forward these sort of things, but for you I'll make an exception. Consider yourself tagged.
whyever would you want to go to such a place as vancouver, bc? i hear it's cold and people live in igloos there.
Yes, but I like cold weather. besides, I hear those igloo-dwelling women are sometimes grateful for a little warm-blooded companionship.
Negril Jamaica???? You don't like heat!
but he likes rum...
nut roaster! you never told me!
I want to play because I shut down my site but am obsessed with lists:

OMG! I have two of the same movies as halfmad! But I am such a loser, I have only ever lived in three places, and then I have only had four jobs, and blah blah blah. I might tag myself just for shits and giggles.
