Fantastic Four?!?!

Per whats-his-face’s request.

Four jobs that I’ve had

  • Radio Announcer
  • Webmaster for a College
  • Teacher
  • Racquet Center Manager

Four movies I can watch over and over

  • Star Trek II – The Wrath of Khan
  • Airplane!
  • Sgt. Bilko
  • Spaceballs

Four places I have lived

  • Sioux City, IA
  • Grand Island, NE
  • Sloan, IA
  • Moville, IA

From longest to shortest. I lived in Sioux City most of my life.
Four TV shows I like to watch

  • Star Trek: The Next Generation
  • Good Eats
  • Whose Line Is It Anyway? (Both the old and new versions)
  • Charmed

Funny thing? My TiVo only records ONE of those shows.
Four foods that I like

  • Steak
  • Pizza
  • Rice Stick Noodles
  • Tastees (A very rare treat that can be found in my hometown, or in Lincoln, NE)

Freakin Pansies – I can actually come up with four foods and not have to resort to beverages.

Four websites I visit daily

The Latter two? I consider them two of my best online friends (probably IRL if I lived closer to them, but cest le vie)

Four things I want to do before I die

  • Get COMPLETELY out of debt
  • Travel Abroad
  • Live in a large city
  • Work in radio again
