Post a Comment On: Confessions of a Restaurant Whore

So a reader of mine (Debbie over at www.ourspecialkids.blogspot.com), tagged me for this meme. I couldn't think of anything better to do than bore you with the sordid details of my life, so here goes:

Four Jobs In My Life
Working in a beauty supply store in the mall while in high school. We got about 3 customers a day. I mostly spent the time painting my nails and then having sex with my boyfriend in the back room after the store closed. And, yet, somehow, I was still their best employee.
A nanny. In total, I worked for five families, during summers and as my first "day job" upon moving west. This is what has kept me childless all this time.
Touring the country doing children's theatre. With a budget of $45 a night to spend on lodging, it's a wonder I didn't return with crabs.
Working as the office manager for Jon's office. This kicked ass because I barely had to do anything. I mostly planned our wedding and went on auditions during this time. Of course, I wouldn't go back to it even if I could because I ADORE my current "day job" of teaching acting and can't imagine not working with my little cherubs.


Four Films I Could Watch Over and Over
The Wizard of Oz. I still run screaming and crying from the room when the flying monkeys come on, but I'm a sucker for that yellow brick road. Austin Powers. Jon and I watched this EVERY NIGHT during our first two months in SF. We'd make milkshakes, unpack and watch this movie. In fact, I cannot hear the music that accompanies the New Line Cinema intro. without saying "it sounds like home." The Apostle. One of the finest pieces of acting. Ever.
Finding Nemo. Every film, animated or not, should be as well written as this one.


Four Places I Have Lived
Boston, Massachusetts for the first three years of my life.
After that we moved to the very conservative suburbs of Boston. Hence my need to fight back with the aforementioned sex.
Ithaca, New York. For college. Easily the most progressive and interesting place I've lived.
San Francisco, CA. My current home, and the place I'd like to remain. Why, you ask? Isn't it obvious? The food.


Four TV Series I Like
Lost because it keeps me on the edge of my seat
Scrubs because I always laugh out loud and cry during every episode
The Amazing Race because it's my travel porn (I actually applied with my best friend -- they must not know good TV when they see it).
Law and Order, Special Victims Unit because Christopher Meloni and Mariska Hargitay are hot.

Four Places I’ve Been on Vacation
Bangkok, Thailand where I left a piece of my soul. Florence, Italy where I ate myself sick. London, England where, at the age of 13, I ate every possible candy bar that existed in their country and not mine. Maui and Kaua'i, Hawaii because, well, it's Hawaii for fuck's sake.


Four Foods I Love

Are you fucking kidding me? I have to pick only four? OK, fine.
Caviar Lobster S'mores French fries Preferably all at once.


Four Websites I Visit Daily
Google. Duh. The stock page for Google. Double duh. SFGate. Because I needs my news.
The Superficial. It's like my crack.


Four Places I’d Rather Be Right Now
In bed In a restaurant Doing my show In the ocean


Four Bloggers Who Should Play
Fatemeh, because she's my girl.
Shuna, because she'll have way better answers than me. Catherine, because she could use a little fun these days.
Jennifer, because she's just super.
