Another 8 Random Things

This post on random things has been making the rounds on various blogs, and the last one I viewed was Jennifer’s over at Life As I Know It. I haven’t been tagged, but I figured I’d join in and give you 8 random things you may or may not know about me….

1) I have lived in the Northeast my whole life and yet cannot stand the cold weather.

2) My two favorite TV shows of all time are The Odd Couple and Mad About You.

3) My favorite movie is Midnight Run. So now you know where this blog’s title comes from …

4) I know lots of useless trivia offhand, mainly because of my borderline photographic memory. I can tell you the teams, scores and locations of the first 41 Super Bowls, which may also just be because I’m a football fanatic. I can also tell you the day of the week of any calendar date since 1981 in about five seconds. I’m not quite sure how or why I know that, though, or why it starts with 1981. At least I don’t forget many people’s birthdays

5) I automatically think of colors when I think of numbers or years. To me, 1 is black, 2 is yellow, 3 is green, etc. For calendar years, I use the last number. 1996 and 2006 were “orange” years, 1987 and 2007 were “black”, 2008 is “red”. It’s strange, I know.

6) I have been working in the press box at Iona College football games on Saturdays in the fall for the past 15 years. I went to Iona for a semester before graduating from Western Connecticut State U.

7) I have never been outside of the U.S. and had never been on a plane until 2000.

8 ) If I were stuck with just three kinds of food, I’d go for cold cereal, seafood and pizza.

That’s about all I can come up with on a Friday afternoon….have a great weekend everyone !
