Such Great Heights

Because everything looks perfect from far away.

Copping out. May 25, 2007

Filed under: Me! Me! Me!, Snippets — Clink @ 1:55 pm

Stolen from the Internets because it is almost 2pm on a Friday before a three-day weekend and I plan on leaving at 3pm to start drinking and really, at this point, I think I should focus on the task at hand for the next hour. (The task being online shopping because as much as this great weather makes me want to LICKNEW YORK, I do need some clothes of the short- and no-sleeves variety in order to not boil to death. Or something.)
 
See y’all on TUESDAY. (That makes me so happy to type. So, so, so happy.)
 
Four jobs I have held:
 
(1) Executive assistant to the creator and executive producer of a major children’s television show (my first and, to date, most favorite job); (2) Casting producer for a major network reality show (“Hi, are you crazy? Great, I’m going to book you on the show”); (3) Sales associate at Victoria’s Secret (sigh, those were heady days of a corporate discount, my parents’ limitless credit card and a newfound enthusiasm for lacy undergarments); and (4) babysitter (“So, do you know where Mommy keeps the chocolate?”)
 
Four movies I can watch over and over:
 
(1) Sliding Doors; (2) Newsies (shut up); (3) Clueless (they called me Cher in high school; the fact that I actually used “as if!” and “what-EVER” as serious forms of communication could’ve had something to do with it. Plus, long blonde hair) and (4) Layer Cake (not so much that I want to watch it over and over, more that my boyfriend watches it over and over and I am usually with him when he does and therefore have proven that I can watch it over and over, albeit somewhat reluctantly).
 
Four places I have lived:
 
(1) New York; (2) Pennsylvania; (3) New Jersey; and (4) London.
 
Four categories of TV programming I enjoy:
 
(1) Reality (ANTM, Pussycat Dolls, Project Runway, Top Chef, Real Housewives of Orange County, Work Out, The Hills, the list goes on and on and on and on (and on)); (2) Action/Adventure/Drama (Heroes, 24); (3) Cooking shows (Ina, Nigella, Giada); and (4) Did I mention reality shows? Maybe I should one more time.
 
Four places I have been on holiday:
 
(1) Greece; (2) Brussels (accidentally); (3) Amsterdam; and (4) Wisconsin.
 
Four of my favorite dishes:
 
(1) The four-cheese gnocchi at Bianca; (2) pizza; (3) cheeseburgers, made by my mom and grilled by my dad; and (4) anything that involves something warm (brownies, pie, cobbler) coupled with vanilla ice cream. 
 
Four websites I visit daily:
 
(1) Gmail; (2) New York Times; (3) Gawker; and (4) My kick-ass (and growing!) blogroll.
 
Four places I would rather be right now:
 
(1) At my family’s house in Greece, reading on the veranda; (2) next to my boyfriend, in bed; (3) eating any of the above favorite dishes; (4) in Target (duh).

    Leah: Favorite movie of all time, hands down. I can still quote almost every line and can most definitely still sing every song. I had a whole little Newsies fantasy world in my head when I was younger and (again, WHEN I WAS YOUNGER) used to pretend they were singing about me when they said “a Saturday night with the mayor’s daughter!” as I was, at the time, the mayor’s daughter. Sigh.

    KB: Yeah Wisconsin is a SLIGHT departure from the others. The truth is I’ve been almost everywhere in Europe and almost nowhere in the US (outside of either coast), so I felt compelled to include it.

    I can recite the entire script of Clueless, word for word, backwards and forwards. Love!

    Oh Target, how I love thee. TB and I are going tonight to get bed risers so he can store shit under his bed. Also, I realized mid-morning that I am wearing khaki capris and a red shirt so I’m totally gonna look like I work there. Awesome.

    Happy Weekend!

    Sliding Doors - of course. I still own it on VHS, because I haven’t gotten around to updating my movie collection yet.

    And warm chocolately goodness with vanilla ice cream? I am drooling.
