2 moments in your life you'd like to erase
Only two? Getting married and getting arrested. Not sure which was worse, but I think it was getting arrested. Jane Rat wasn't that bad.
4 moments you'd like to relive:
I'm content having lived most moments once. There are some things I'd like to do again, but reliving previous things is a little redundant if your memory is intact. The memory might be better than the original event.
2 places you wouldn't want to go to/go to again:
Riyadh
Calgary
4 places you can't wait to visit/visit again
Jeez... only four....
Dublin
Iqaluit
Ottawa
New Orleans
2 foods you can't stand:
Fried Liver
Overcooked beef
4 foods you love:
If there are only four I can mention here goes:
Sushi
Rare Filet Mignon
Baked Ham
Pollo Relleno
2 current songs that make you change the station:
What's current? I don't listen to radio because it's either annoying or banal.
I'm in agreement with Sassinak on this one.
4 records you play over and over:
Cassandra Wilson's new CD
Discipline by King Crimson
Brandenburg Concerto #5 (especially the version by Musica Antiqua Koln)
Uninvisible by Medeski Martin and Wood
2 books you'd never finish/read again:
I once read a book by Rush Lumbaugh. What an asshole!
Worlds in Collision by Velikovsky. What an asshole!
4 books you have read more than once, and/or will read again:
Crime and Punishment by Dostoyevsky
100 Years of Solitude by Marquez
The Beginners Guide to Constructing the Universe
The Creators by Daniel Boorstin

I can't complain about Jack's beef. I was thinking more about the dried out roasts my mum prepares. She's from the old-school of cooking where meat is always well done due to longer storage and inadequate refrigeration. Old habits are hard to break, and many folks from my parents generation tend to abuse their food this way. The only complaint I have with Jack's roast beef is the lack of horseradish, which I'll rectify when I go to Anton's at the market.

oooo yes, the really good stuff that clears the sinuses and gets all those little mucus membranes working properly :)
Me mom used to do the same thing, overcooking I mean. Like the all day turkey roast - 10 hours in a slow oven - even a Butterball can't survive the desert cooking technique.
