i'm trying to put off wrapping my christmas presents. you would think this might be something i look forward to, but since i have all the wrapping talent of a limbless orangutan, and my presents always end up looking like something that came out of the Children's Home for Retarded Woodchippers, well, i don't.

so i'm going to copy the meme kevin drum put up today:

Four jobs you've had in your life: real jobs, relatively few. so i'll include a couple of internships. CIA intern, intern at washingtonpost.com, elementary teaching assistant, editorial assistant.

Four movies you could watch over and over: pride & prejudice the six hour version. pride & prejudice the new two hour version. princess bride, the sound of music (well, the first half anyway) (also i realize these answers make me thoroughly detestable but, uh, fuck off)
UPDATE OHMIGOD forgot bring it on. that is actually at least probably #2 for me on the rewatchable movie meme.

Four places you've lived: washington, d.c., milan, italy, charlottesville, va, chicago, il.

Four TV shows you love to watch: veronica mars (well documented here), lost, grey's anatomy, america's next top model. (ack. have to make it five. forgot futurama)

Four places you've been on vacation: i won't count italy since i've been all over the place there, so: wyoming, cape ann, ma., scotland, slovenia

Four websites you visit daily: washingtonpost.com, dcist.com, gmail.com, bloglines.com (sorry, but if you've got bloglines, what else do you need? i admit sometimes i'll visit unfogged.com outside of reading its entries in bloglines to see what is going on the comments, but i can rarely keep up, so usually not)

Four of your favorite foods: pizza, cheese, grapefruit, chocolate

Four places you'd rather be: i could give four locations in italy as an answer, or i could say, at this moment: at a bar, in a pool (in 85 degree weather), on a train (i love riding trains) or back in bed.
