So you want to know more about meme?
Four Jobs I've Had * Dramaturg for Palestinian/Israeli co-production in Jerusalem after Oslo (and then journalist for international pub's about all the projects going on around town like it).
* Assistant to a multi-millionaire (mostly, following her around to figure out where she left her glasses and going to black tie parties that didn't interest her).
* Teacher (my favorite) -- yoga to very small kids, drama in the South Bronx as a visiting artist, critical thinking and writing at Brown, educational consultant to teachers in the UK and to people in business.
* Content developer for a web shop (before there were such things as information architects and everyone wanted a corporate site). Teams consisted of a content person, a tech person, and a designer, and we considered EVERYTHING content.
Four Movies I Can Watch Over and Over * Singing in the Rain
* Days of Heaven (although that narrator's voice can rankle)
*Swing Time
*Truly, Madly, Deeply
Four TV Shows I Love to Watch * As Time Goes By
* MacNeil Leher News Hour
* Roseanne
* Bill Mahr
Four Places I've Been on Vacation * China (on my own, 2000 -- and I don't speak Chinese. Went to see how Jews pray in Beijing, and individuals from the service took me around for the rest of the trip. I'm not at all observant, and neither are they -- they just seem to show up to see who's in town.)
* Topanga Canyon
* The mountains in Idaho
* Edinburgh (well, working vacation -- at the Fringe)
Four Favorite Dishes * Sea urchin -- any shell fish or raw fish works, but this is my favorite.
* Bo luc lac (chunks of beef marinated, but the beef has to be amazing) or fabulously cooked lamb (on meat, it's a toss up)
* Any fish cooked beautifully with steamed kale on the side. Brussel sprouts work, too.
* Warm chocolate cake (the kind with the chocolate dripping out the middle -- the best one made either by my cousin Sue or at Fairway's cafe)
Four Websites I Visit Daily * NPR
* The BBC
* The New York Times
* PricewaterhouseCoopers (I work on it every day -- it's my job)
Four Places I'd Rather Be * England (all over the place, particularly the North -- lived in the midlands, and have friends everywhere. Miss it like mad, but it sure has changed).
*South of France (Who doesn't love that??? Nice in particular, where my aunt lives.)
* Tuscany
* Northern California
