I’ve been tagged by Grant to participate in one of these kee-razy metadata-gathering memes.  I could pretend like it’s some kind of chore and that I’m oh-so-tired of these things, but I secretly love ‘em, so here goes:

Four jobs I’ve had:

  1. Paperboy - The Kitchener-Waterloo Record
  2. Parking attendant - The Centre in the Square (a part-time job, I might add, that I share with one-time world heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis)
  3. Graphic designer - CHUM Television
  4. Freelance illustrator and cartoonist

Four movies I can watch over and over:

  1. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom
  2. The Hudsucker Proxy
  3. Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory
  4. Star Wars (I resisted putting this one, but I can’t deny it)

Four places I have lived:

  1. Kitchener, Ontario
  2. Toronto, Ontario (Yonge and St. Clair)
  3. Toronto, Ontario (Christie and Dupont)
  4. Toronto, Ontario (Bloor and Bathurst)

Like Grant, I clearly don’t get around much.

Four television shows I love to watch:

  1. Lost
  2. Scrubs
  3. The Amazing Race
  4. The Office

Four places I have been on vacation:

  1. Orlando, Florida (DisneyWorld with the fam!)
  2. Cork, Ireland
  3. Scottsdale, Arizona
  4. Los Angeles, California

Four of my favourite dishes:

  1. My mom’s pig tails
  2. PB&J
  3. Green curry with tofu, veggies, and rice
  4. Cream of mushroom soup

Four websites I visit daily:

  1. MetaFilter
  2. Flickr
  3. IMDb
  4. Cartoon Retro

Four places I would rather be right now:

  1. Typing this from an apartment that’s not in a basement
  2. Any of the Canadian provinces I haven’t visited (read: all but Ontario)
  3. Seeing Elvis Costello in concert
  4. Nowhere (I’m sleepy, so imagining myself being anywhere else other than my bed right now just involves far too much effort)

Four bloggers I am tagging:

  1. Sarah
  2. Eva
  3. Adina
  4. Mark

Thanks Grant!  Grant, it should be said, is a far more impressive type designer than I; the domain gumslinger.com from his list of available domain names was the inspiration for machinegum.com; and I’ve stolen more photos from his Flickr page for desktop wallpaper than I can count.  He also contributes to Veer’s inspirational The Skinny.
