Four Things

I’ve been tagged by Laura! Eek!

Jobs:

Music and news librarian
Academic librarian

Yes, I’ve only had two proper jobs. I went straight from school to undergrad to library school to work. I spent my teen years being rejected from Target, Miss Maud’s, Big W and other fine retail after-school jobs, so instead I spent my time volunteering with the Girl Guides. I’ve also been a director at a public radio station, but I didn’t get paid for it so it doesn’t count.

Movies:

Rear Window
The Wizard of Oz
Cinema Paradiso (original, not the awful director’s cut)
Lost in Translation

Four Places I’ve lived:

Wanneroo, Western Australia
Kallaroo, Western Australia
Mullaloo, Western Australia (see a pattern here?)
Sydney, Australia

Four TV shows:

Arrested Development
The X-Files
Family Guy
Mysterious Cities of Gold

Four places I’ve vacationed:

New York, USA
Paris, France
Tokyo, Japan
Montreal, Canada

Four of my favourite dishes:

Zaru soba and tempura
Sashimi
Risotto
Lebanese cabbage rolls

Sites I visit daily:

Figure Skating Universe
Sydney Morning Herald (in lieu of buying the paper)
Bloglines
mail2web

Places I would rather be:

New York
At the rink
An aeroplane heading somewhere new
In Torino, watching the Olympics

Books:
Microserfs, Douglas Coupland
Metamorphoses, Ovid
The 13 1/2 Lives of Captain Bluebear, Walter Moers
Sandman, Neil Gaiman (though that’s cheating, as there’s 10 volumes)

Songs:
Paranoid Android, Radiohead
This Flight Tonight, Joni Mitchell
Nolita, Keren Ann
Negative Folk Song, Benjamin Biolay

Cars:

None. I got a license at 17 like almost everyone else, but I never owned a car. I only drove once after I got my license, in the car my dad bought for the kids to drive (1974 Honda Civic) but it sat unused in the driveway - I was too committed to public transport.

Four bloggers I’m tagging:

Apologies if any of these have already done their dash on this.
