36 Reasons to Regret Visiting this Blog
Jeff over at ArchaeoTexture has tagged me for a meme, which is a relatively harmless (to me, anyway) excuse to ease back into blogging after yet another prolonged absence:
- Four Jobs I've Held - Disk jockey, gas plant roustabout, multilith operator, accounting systems analyst
- Four Films I Could Watch Over and Over - Serenity; Galaxy Quest; Deep Rising; Tremors
- Four TV Shows I Watch - Numbers, Dancing With the Stars, the 6:00 a.m local news program (CBS), The Office
- Four Places I've Lived - Wheeler, Richardson, Garland, Bryan (all in Texas, and not in that order)
- Four Favorite Foods - Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and Dessert (not in that order)
- Four Websites I Visit Daily - Whatever client sites I'm working on; I no longer have time to regularly surf the web
- Four Favorite Colors - Light black, medium black, dark black, and brilliantly muddy black
- Four Places I Would Love to be Right Now - Standing in line to cash this month's million dollar check from my MegaGigantoHuge Lottery winnings. The three other places would just naturally fall into place at that point.
- Four Names I Love, But Could/Would Not Use for My Children - Sylvestre (like the cat, only classier), Banner (once had a boss named that), Mephibosheth, Jesus
I'd find my Content Free Celebrity Head™ and put it with this post but I'm too lazy. Try to imagine Sean Penn's head right here.
Oh, and consider yourself tagged. Unless, of course, you don't want to be.
You are such a self-initiator. Your boss would be proud. Perhaps you should show him (or her) your post, once it's finished, and point out that it was the result of a self-tagging initiative. She (or he) will be impressed and you'll get a huge promotion and lunch with the Donald.

Posted by: Becky at October 10, 2007 11:31 AMMephibosheth! We happened to be in San Antone one weekend and visited Max Lucado's church, Oak Hills Church of Christ, to hear him preach and he did a riff on Mephibosheth, exclaiming, "They just don't name 'em like they used to."
Me, I was always calling my sister "Dorcas."

Posted by: Bret at October 12, 2007 09:06 AMYou've been there, haven't you?
I actually ended up hitting a kid with a Bible. His eyes got THAT big and he said in a slightly-awed voice: "you hit me with the word of God!"
It was more of a smack, actually.

Yay. :) You're back momentarily at least. I shall consider myself tagged as it'll give me something to do at work tomorrow in between all the other things I do that have very little resemblance to work. :)
As I don't like Sean Penn overly, I'm imagining a Viggo Mortensen head instead. Is that ok?
