Four Things…

Tami figured out the secret. The best way to get me to do something is to tell me I either can’t or won’t. Mutter.

Four jobs I have had in my life (not including your current job):

  1. Want fries with that?
  2. Tutored some math and physics at MSOE
  3. Ran a skate rental shop. Gave lessons. That was a lot of fun.
  4. Acted (Tripped and fell into a few tiny paid things - I was my friend’s ride to an audition. Got called up and cast.)

Four Movies I have watched over and over:

  1. Princess Bride
  2. Scent of a Woman
  3. Serenity
  4. Fletch

Four places I have lived:

  1. Milwaukee, WI
  2. Irvine, CA
  3. Costa Mesa, CA
  4. San Diego, CA

My family is half afraid that if I keep up this trend, my next move will have me living over the border in Mexico

Four Shows I love to watch:

  1. House
  2. Heroes
  3. Rescue Me
  4. Daily Show

Hm. I notice a misfit theme…

Four Places I have been on vacation:

  1. Orlando
  2. Acapulco
  3. NYC
  4. One trip hitting as many places to ski in Colorado as we could fit in

Four of my favorite foods:

  1. Chipotle
  2. CPK - Chopped salad. (Read: Meat, cheese, and just enough lettuce to where they can use the word “salad” without openly laughing.)
  3. Most any beef that lands on a grill
  4. …or misses it entirely, come to think of it. (Ruth’s Chris‘ carpaccio. Not on the menu, and not all will serve it. A much food-wiser friend taught me that and made me try it. If she reads this: Thanks!)

Four favorite drinks:

  1. Diet Dr. Pepper
  2. …with Malibu. Failing that, some other rum + diet brown mix.
  3. Don Francisco’s Vanilla Nut coffee. Grind it yourself-style.
  4. You really only need those three to subsist very comfortably.

Four places I would rather be right now:

I’m really not a places person. It’s less about where you are than who you’re there with. Any old place can be awesome.

Four People I Command to do This:

…they’ll all have been sufficiently commanded by now… :P

    Scott when you lived in Milwaukee did you ever go into a game store name Adventure Games Plus?

    It sounds really familiar — Looking it up, I bet I did stop in there once or twice, having friends in that neighborhood.

    The shop that ended up getting a ton of my money over both the AD&D and M:tG years was Napoleon’s. :)

    I owned AGP for 10 years finally selling out to move on to a real job, LOL. I seem to remember you coming in at some point. Napys finally called it quits a few years back. Keep up the good work!

    And you rocked, TYVM.

    AGP… Where the hell was that? I could swear I used to buy Star Wars books there.

    Ok, I was with you with The Princess Bride and Serenity, but I haven’t seen Fletch in ages to the point where I can’t really remember a darn thing about it, other than I think Chevy Chase was actually still funny at that point. Scent of a Woman.. isn’t that the Al Pacino flick? Actually haven’t seen it, but I guess I should go grab it off Netflix now..

    I’ll let you know what I think.. It feels kind of odd, because I’ve seen A LOT of movies!

    mmmm… Ruth’s Chris… can you believe I’ve lived here for over a year now and have yet to eat there? What’s WRONG with me?! I think there’s actually a conflict between the part of me that remembers the $50 bill just for my dinner, and the part that remembers the buttery juicy tastiness. Not sure if the chain in general is that expensive or if it was the fact that the one time I ate there, it was at the location in Beverly Hills. I don’t know, but I really ought to correct this oversight post-haste! =)

    That’s enough out of me! ’til next time! Same bat time… same bat… ugh.. that joke sounded much better in my head. =)

    Cheers,

    Nick

    Ok I’m kinda freaking out right now…

    Fine, you lived in Milwaukee - lots of people have. That’s cool but nothing earth-shattering.

    What’s sending my brain spinning is seeing both Acting and Star Wars RPG books mentioned in correlation with someone named Drew Campbell, which was the pseudonym of an actor/gamer I went to high school with in Milwaukee’s northern neighbor Mequon, but haven’t seen since a GenCon MANY years ago.

    ….Could it be that my world just got a whole lot smaller?

    Hi Scott, btw - looking forward to reading your future blogging! :)

    You should watch Californication on Showtime, great show and it certainly fits into the theme of the above.
