Thinking in Fours

Z tagged me with a meme, and I always complete my meme responsibilities, even while on vacation! So here it goes!

a. Four places I go over and over again:

1) School. Getting kids to school in the morning and picking them up in the afternoon. Preschool requires a drive; elementary school requires a walk.
2) She-ra's house. She feeds me, she gives me wine, so why not?
3) Starbuckies. Bad habits can be oh so hard to break.
4) My garden. Some days I just go and pace, wander, walk. I just need my time out there.

Four people who mail me regularly:
This is sad. I don't have too many "personal" people I connect with with a special regularity.

1) She-ra. Yes, I know she lives only a mile away. Sometimes email works.
2) Freecycle group digest mails.
3) My students for one reason or another, and blog readers with comments on my blog.
4) Anu Garg, with her Word-a-Day digest.

Four of my favorite places to eat, (apart from home):

1) Arties. And family (Coastal Flats, Sweetwater Tavern, etc.)
2) CPK. Killer salads, love the Margarita Neapolitan pizza.
3) La Tolteca. Authentic Mexican by Mexicans, not Hondurans or Salvadoreans.
4) Bombay Bistro. Love my Indian food.

Four places I'd rather be now.
This is hard because I'm on vacation at my friend's house, but I'll speak in general terms:

1) Perú.
2) Sitting in an outdoor natural hot spring in volcanic mountainous central Japan.
3) With friends drinking wine or coffee or tea...depending on the time of day.
4) Skiing.

Four favorite TV shows:
I don't watch too much TV. But here it goes:

1) Gray's Anatomy. I really need my smut fix.
2) AFV. The kids LOVE the funny videos and I love sharing the laughter and joy they get out of others' misfortunes...!!
3) The Electric Company. Grew up with it, those shows were awesome.
4) Three's Company. I loved that show. The Ropers rocked. John Ritter was a talented man.

Four movies I would watch over and over again.

1) Fantasia. Only the original...the 2nd isn't as good.
2) Foreign films that I use in class, like Motorcycle Diaries, La historia oficial, etc.
3) Japanese films like Tampopo, Kappa, etc. No samurai flicks.
4) Other good foreign movies, I suppose, or things I can relate to like Lost in Translation, or that can evoke memories, like At Play in the Fields of the Lord.

Four people I would like to tag:
We all know how tough this is!!!

1) She-ra! (since she's been mentioned so much here!)
2) The Exception
3) Old Crone
4) Harrassed Single Mom

Have fun, y'all!
