The '4' Thing

The only thing worse than a chain letter is the word "meme." Nevertheless, I'm going to participate in the "Four Things" thing that's been going around for a while, partly out of amazement that it reached me at all, partly because if it's good enough for Disquiet, it's good enough for me.

Four jobs I've had: "“Busman"” (not busboy) at a pathetic country club... Counter guy at Famous Cookie Company in a mall. (Fired.) ... Cashier/stocker, Walgreen's ... Typesetter

Four movies I can watch over and over: Stranger Than Paradise. Stardust Memories. After Hours. Nights of Cabiria.

Four places I've lived: New Orleans. NYC. Jersey City. Katy, Texas.
