John went and tagged me with the silly-yet-clever 4 things meme. I learned some things I didn’t know about him from his, we’ll see how well he knows his boss…

Four jobs I’ve had:

1. Retail Store Designer (VideoWatch, now Hollywood Video)
2. Do-naut, John’s Space Age Donut Shop
3. Puppeteer, Kansas City Toy and Miniature Museum
4. Bubble Expert, Kay-Bee Toys

Four movies I can watch over and over:

1. Baron Munchausen
2. Spirited Away
3. The Muppet Movie
4. Hudsucker Proxy

(the only) Three places I’ve lived:

1. Indianapolis, Indiana
2. Leawood, Kansas
3. Ann Arbor, Michigan

Four TV shows I love:

1. Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends
2. Fairly Oddparents
3. Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law
4. Daily Show

Four places I’ve vacationed:

1. Disney World
2. Alaska
3. Amelia Island, Florida
4. Chicagoland

Four of my favorite dishes:

1. Eggs Benedict (or Deep Fried French Toast) at Angelo’s
2. Vermicelli with Beef and Spring Rolls (#15 at Dalat)
3. New York-style Pepperoni Pizza (NYPD!)
4. A Northside (the Northside Grill’s signature breakfast sandwich)

Four sites I visit daily:

1. metafilter
2. boingboing
3. kotaku
4. axis.aadl.org

Four places I would rather be right now:

1. Kosmo (closed for remodeling!)
2. Northside (closes at 3)
3. Angelo’s (closes at 3)
4. Cafe Marie (closes at 2)

Man, I didn’t realize I was so obsessed with Breakfast.

Four bloggers I am tagging:

1. Clam Chowder
2. Hidden Peanuts
3. Notational Slurry
4. matth

One thing remarkable about this very webby 2.0-ish exercise is something that is missing, something you would expect to find in lists of people’s favorite things… most versions of this meme do not include 4 favorite books! As someone pretending to be german used to say, very interesting. However, that will never do, especially as this meme winds its way through the library world, so, let’s put it back in this strain.

Four books (or series) I love:

1. Series of Unfortunate Events, Lemony Snicket
2. The Galactic Milieu Saga, Julian May
3. The Culture Novels, Ian M. Banks
4. Anything by Vernor Vinge

Four Videogames I can (and do) play over and over again:

1. Mario Kart (Doubledash or DS)
2. Pikmin (1 or 2)
3. Dance Dance Revolution (Max2 or higher)
4. Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker

Off you go, silly little meme. Write when you infect a brain!

    We are in desperate need of a good doughnut shop downtown (is there one hiding that I don’t know about?)

    Matt, Ann Arbor is a PATHETIC donut town, with the notable exception of Washtenaw Dairy’s incredible Cake Donuts. However, man cannot live on cake donuts alone. Dom Bakeries was not bad before they turned into a Sushi business, but about the closest we get now is Dimo’s, which has the right atmosphere and the right assortment for a a great independent donut shop, except that their donuts are just not that good. They don’t change their oil often enough, and they don’t let their raised donuts rise enough. One of the prerequisites for a Googleplex, reportedly, is a 24-hour donut shop nearby. Perhaps that’s all we need to get the Goog to set up shop in town…

    By the way, Matth, I’m tagging you instead. =)

    There’s not even a single friggin’ Dunkin Donuts in Ann Arbor. *Grumble*

  4. Matt February 6th, 2006 11:10 pm

    As I remember, Google passed up Ann Arbor during one of their site searches because of our lack of a 24-hour doughnut shoppe. Can anyone confirm/refute this?

    Ooops, next-time I’ll read your comment all the way through.

    Kosmo is re-opening 3/1 (or so they plan), see John Hritz’s blog http://jhritz.blogspot.com for the letter from the owner. Not too long to wait!
