I'm going to have to disagree with you on two of the movies listed under the third section, "Four Movies I'm Forced to Watch Over and Over," because they really are not good movies. I'm guessing you know which two I'm referring to.
I like "Holy guacamole!" Can I steal that one? I like the next three statements, too, but I think I can do without repeating them on a regular basis.
"muxlfk"--The all-powerful villain from an alternate dimension on the porn remake of Superman.
I meant to say that they're not THAT bad. Well, maybe they are.
You are welcome to steal "Holy Guacamole!" It's one of my favorites, replacing "DOUCHEBAG!!!" which I'm not allowed to say anymore, due to the presence of my almost four-year-old instant playback machine.
I like the name of that super-villian!
Holy guacamole? That's hilarious!
And I haven't read any of those four books! Woo hoo! New books to read!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE Brat Farrar, and I'm very fond of The Blue Sword (though I prefer The Hero and the Crown, and my absolute favorite is The Outlaws of Sherwood - but I think that's too mature to read to my little Robin Hood fan just yet).
So I ran right out and put Pictures of Perfection on my booksfree list. Which informed me that the Stabenow and Maron books are on the way in the next shipment. Yay!
I just lent Brat Farrar to a co-worker last week, and she's loving it, though she thinks she must have read it years ago because certain parts sound familiar. My other favorite Teys are Daughter of Time (of course) and Miss Pym Disposes, but I like them all.
And I could watch those 4 movies over and over too (when you were at our house, you didn't see the Casablanca poster because it recently came down b/c J. didn't like the gun in it). And also can watch and rewatch your 4 kids' movies that haven't hit the limit yet.
I knew we were compatible! :)
Mmmm, risotto. One of those foods I love but sometimes forget about. May have to make it tonight!
This meme has sure made the rounds!
I love your tv answers :)
We say "Holy linoleum" around here, when we're making an effort not to shock the pediatrician. It sounds better when you add "Batman" at the end.
I've never read any Josephine Tey. Is that ridiculous? But I'm proud of myself for having read The Blue Sword, at least.
Favorite Casablanca quote:
"What watch?"
"Ten watch."
"Such much?"
I wish my boys enjoyed Chicken Run as much as I do.
I'm surprised (F***ing) Aladdin wasn't #1.
Fucking Aladdin slipped down a bit since it's no longer his FAVORITE favorite. Cinderella's getting more play lately.
