About Last Night

Terry Teachout on the arts in New York City

OGIC: Long time no meme…

December 19, 2005 by Terry Teachout

But this one appealed: courtesy of Girish, the Meme of Four.


Without further ado, and very much off the top of my head:


Four jobs you’ve had in your life: antique store shopgirl, technical writer, assistant editor, managing editor. Yes, most of these are practically the same job.


Four movies you could watch over and over: Out of Sight, The Lady Eve, Celine and Julie Go Boating, Kicking and Screaming.


Four places you’ve lived: Chicago, New York City, Cambridge, Providence.


Four TV shows you love to watch: Gilmore Girls, Hockey Night in Canada (when in Detroit), Da Ali G Show, America’s Next Top Model (there, I admitted it).


Four places you’ve been on vacation: Prague, Edinburgh, Las Vegas, No. Whitefield, Maine.


Four websites you visit daily: Colby Cosh, The Gurgling Cod, Outer Life, Pandacam DC.


Four of your favorite foods: golabki, jambalaya, caesar salad, coconut cake.


Four places you’d rather be: Leelanau County, the Hall of Fame, the British Museum, and the place I’m going tomorrow, and not a moment too soon: Sterling Heights, Michigan.


Perhaps Terry will play. We can hope, but he also needs his rest. All other bloggers are not excused.
