Four Jobs I've Had:

1. "Editor" for an online company to which students submitted writing (both college application essays and academic work) and got back a much more coherent and grammatically correct version. It felt vaguely unethical, but not quite enough to stop doing it. I did stop when I entered grad school, though.
2. Singer in a professional Episcopal church choir. I am your typical atheist Jew, but they sure paid well, and were (and are) a kickass choir to boot.
3. Cleaner of college dorm bathrooms (when I was an undergrad). Girls were messier overall, but boys had the real stinkers.
4. Admin assistant in the PR department of a large performing arts organization. They expected me to start caring about my job, so I quit.

Four Movies I Could Watch Over and Over Again:

1. Pirates of the Caribbean
2. Singin' in the Rain
3. The Triplets of Belleville
4. The scene with Bill Murray, RZA and GZA from Coffee and Cigarettes
