I've been memed

Ed tagged me and since this is a fairly painless and amusing meme, here goes:

4. mommy

4 TV Shows I love to watch:

1. (Back in the happy days when we had HBO) The Wire and
2. Curb Your Enthusiasm
3. (Now that we are HBO-less) 24
4. and Arrested Development (I know, I know the series finale just ran so I won't have this little corner of televised comfort to flee to anymore, damnit).

4 Places I would rather be right now:

1. A clean, well-lit place with a comfortable chair and no one asking me for a beverage, or crayons, or for help going to the bathroom.
2. Talking with a friend, sitting on her deck in Berkeley, with a cold beer.
   
3. Watching a really good play.
4. Hiking in some non-snowy mountains.
