100 Things About Me (76-100)
I realized I never finished my little 100 Things About Me posts, so here's the last batch.
76. I have conservatively been hired for a hundred or so jobs. I haven't worked at hundred jobs, but I've been hired for them - some I never showed up for, some I went through training and bailed, others I just wanted to see if I could get the gig. It sounds like a large number until you take into account I've been working more or less since I was 14. I'm 35 now, so that averages around five gigs a year.
77. I'm seriously thinking about going to culinary school.
78. The logic behind culinary school is if I get a gig doing something I actually like doing, I might go through fewer jobs.
79. Still, I kind of enjoy being a jack-of-all-trades. I don't have a great deal of experience in any one thing, but I can do a little of everything.
80. I don't believe in regret.
81. My favorite TV show to date is Northern Exposure. Props to Universal HD for airing reruns.
82. Twin Peaks is a very close second.
83. I always thought it was ironic that my two favorite shows were filmed miles apart from each other.
84. I've been to both filming locations.
85. Speaking of Twin Peaks, when the hell is Season Two going to come out on DVD? (Okay, I just checked Amazon and found out it's coming out in April... about time!)
86. I live in perpetual fear of bad air. I can't eat Whoppers anymore and when opening Pringles, I hold the can as far away from me as possible then poke it with a knife to avoid inhaling any canned air.
87. This paranoia is a major source of entertainment for my daughter.
88. The paranoia is made even more ironic by the fact that I smoke.
89. I'm trying to quit... for real this time.
90. I like to blame John for lots of stuff, he's like a pusher. Garth Brooks 'Friends in Low Places', American Chopper, Flickr. Fuckr.
91. For some reason I left Phoenix, Arizona from the number one entry on this list. I lived there for a couple months back in '89. I was attacked there, harassed by cops and temporarily arrested for a mob fight I had nothing to do with. Fun town.
92. I think there should be a law requiring any movie with narration to be narrated by Morgan Freeman. In a separate bill, all movies not requiring narration shall have Morgan Freeman providing the DVD commentary tracks.
93. Along with a friend, I tried to steal an entire hospital piece by piece. Over time, I managed to get a small suitcase worth of loot - stethoscopes, tongue depressors, etc.
94. I've always wanted a telescope. I'd love to get into astronomy, I just haven't gotten off my ass to pursue it.
95. And a submarine. Every year I ask Santa for a submarine, but never get one.
96. I have some kind of reading disorder. I used to think it was dyslexia, but after doing some research, I don't think it is. I'll do a post explaining it in a day or two, maybe someone out there will know what it is, if anything, and can fill me in.
97. I've been obsessing on the Beach Boys lately. I always like Good Vibrations, Kokomo, etc., but I never realized just how mind-blowingly amazing they are until just recently.
98. I'm making sourdough bread as I'm typing this.
99. I made a sourdough starter a few days ago. I wish I realized how nauseating that stuff smells.
100. This space intentionally left blank.
