Never too old for games

The child is the father of the man? Well, judging by the "Tag I'm it - chain post game" that is currently swamping the blogosphere, I guess I was right.

And apparently, it's also the mother of the woman? Anyway: thanks for ruining my weekend, Andrea ;-D. I had sworn not to touch my PC for two days...

Anyway, here goes:

Four jobs I've had:

• Bartender
• Dog-walker
• Copywriter
• "Pianist in a brothel"

Four places I've lived (you'll  notice I'm a real cosmopolitan):

• Aartrijke (Zedelgem) (B)
• Ghent (B)
• Bruges (B)
• Koekelare (B)

Four movies I can watch over and over:

• The Lord of the Rings (1)
• The Lord of the Rings (2)
• The Lord of the Rings (3)
• The Lord of the Rings (4): the one in which I get to kiss Liv Tyler

Four TV shows I love:

• Never Mind The Buzzcocks
• Friday Night with Jonathan Ross
• Fawlty Towers
• Blackadder

Four places I've been on vacation:

• Athens, Greece
• Luxor, Egypt
• Rome, Italy
• Gap, France

Four of my favourite dishes:

• only
• four?
• get
• real!

Four sites I visit daily:

• Bloglines
• VRT
• De Morgen
• Flickr

Four places I would rather be right now:

• on the couch with a good book instead of here, in front of my pc
• on the couch with my headphones on, listening to some great music
• on a terrace in Naples, a bottle of fine Barolo within reach
• in the pub with an Oerbier

Four bloggers I'm tagging:

• let's
• not
• push
• it

Serge, what a good sport you are! You did share interesting things, such as your job as a pianist...

I came this close to naming The Lord of the Rings (yes, all three) as one of my favorite movies. Wish I could have chosen more than four.

By the way, you're weekend isn't completely ruined since you still have Sunday to enjoy (speedshopping, anyone? sorry, I couldn't resist).

Well, Andrea, the pianist thing is a reference to a famous quote by the equally famous Jacques Séguéla, a French advertising guru (the 'S' in RSCG, later Euro RSCG - a.o. the guy behind some of François Mitterrand's campaigns - well-known for his oneliner 'Don't tell my mother I work in advertising, she thinks I'm a pianist in a brothel'). I have, of course, no idea how far the man's fame extends on the other side of the Atlantic.

And as far as the speedshopping is concerned: 23'56" was today's time - not so speedy this morning, but there was a crowd at the butcher's. And I admit I lost quite a bit of time chatting to someone I ran into just outside the shop. Tough call: break a Sunday morning record or be sociable? :-D
