Four Things
30 May 2006FOUR JOBS I HAVE HAD IN MY LIFE:
1. First Year Camper Instructor, BSA Camp Roy C. Manchester
2. Snack Shop Clerk, Pool Area, Mayfield Golf & Country Club–the coolest job ever.
3. Team Member (Did Everything), Harkins Theatres
4. Webmaster Programmer, [work-related] (Current)
Had four other jobs, but these are the best cross-section.
FOUR MOVIES I COULD WATCH OVER AND OVER AND OVER:
1. Amelie
2. Serenity (plus the whole series of Firefly)
3. Chasing Amy (or anything Kevin Smith)
4. Good Will Hunting
Could easily pick several others… The X-Men movies, Se7en, Saving Private Ryan, Love Actually, When Harry Met Sally… I’ll stop now.
FOUR PLACES I HAVE LIVED:
1. Mayfield, KY
2. Hickory, KY
3. Mesa, AZ
4. Oh yeah… Apache Junction, AZ (I was just a baby! I swear I live in East Mesa now, not AJ!)
FOUR CURRENT T.V. SHOWS I LOVE TO WATCH:
1. My Name Is Earl
2. Firefly–Fighting a battle I’ve already lost… Yeah, well I’m known for that.
3. Friends
4. American Inventor… Perhaps the only reality show featuring people who actually want to do well for the world, not just for themselves. Brilliant.
FOUR PLACES I HAVE BEEN ON VACATION:
1. North Dakota
2. Arizona… Hey, it counts when you aren’t living there.
3. Space Camp (Huntsville Campus)
4. Ohio. (And I will again, apparently.)
FOUR WEBSITES I VISIT DAILY:
1. Google News
2. SMART-POPCORN.com
3. MySpace (with a pained heart)
4. Does [work-related] count? I’m working on it most days. Otherwise, I guess LJ or Engadget.
FOUR OF MY FAVORITE FOODS:
1. Pizza
2. Tuna Patties
3. Torpedo Sub from Steve’s Krazy Sub
4. Anything cooked on a campfire: s’mores, beans, tinfoil burgers, etc.
FOUR PLACES I WOULD RATHER BE RIGHT NOW:
1. Wyoming.
2. Camping… anywhere cool & woodsy.
3. France… Just to visit, sheesh.
4. Hmm, maybe New Zealand, so I can experience all those cool things I’m apparently missing.
4b. Or Russia. Because I love their culture, their accents, and their vodka. (In no particular order.)
FOUR FRIENDS WHO I WANT TO TAG:
Considering I don’t have four friends on LiveJournal, I’m willing to bet this thing will end with me.
New Video Blog
20 May 2006…and a new address, too! This oughtta be the permanent location.

A New Experiment
16 May 2006…really just having fun with my new toy… err, productivity tool.
http://thom.smart-popcorn.com
Don’t get too attached to that address. I’ll probably get a new spot for it.
Suh-weet
12 May 2006Typin’ this on my MacBook Pro! Yep, I saw the light, or joined forces with the dark side, however you wanna see it. Pretty sweet though. In fact, I’m posting this from a Dashboard widget, which is only cool if you know what Dashboard is. :-P
Bush Flu Plan Puts State, Local Officials in Charge
3 May 2006( link )
Yeah, because they’ve done such a great job with disaster recovery (Katrina, anyone?), border security, and the likes. Then again, they’ve done no worse than the feds.
In other news, I may be migrating my LJ to my own hosted solution in coming months. Stay tuned.
