Which Movies Do I Watch Repeadedly?

08.15.2003

Last night I finally got around to updating my DVD list (god help me but I've passed the 400 movie mark), and I started to think about what my favorite movies are. I get asked this all the time - one of the things about having so many movies I guess. I've devided them into different categories, because I don't think different genres should compete against one another.

Sci-Fi - Fifth Element. I can't count how many times I've watched this. To me it has everything that a movie should - action, romance, comedy, a minimum level of nudity, plus I really like the soundtrack.

Comedy - Happy Gilmore. I don't care any about golf. Adam Sandler doesn't do much for me. Put the 2 together and I can watch it over and over again.

Drama - Forrest Gump. This may be borderline for a drama, but no matter how far into the movie I walk in, I'll always stay and watch it through the end.

Action - Desperado. Iwas surprised I didn't pick Lethal Weapon, but it hasn't aged as well. Desperado is another of those that haseverything put together to make a great movie. I'm also looking forward to the next installment of the El Mariachi/Desperado saga: Once Upon A Time In Mexico coming this September.

Steve, one of my favorite people in the world, lost his father over the weekend. It makes me realize how insignificant my sore back is.

I hope you're doing ok buddy.

There's a temporary shortage of hilarity and hijinx as I try to recover from once again throwing my back out.

Stupid back....

Lord of the Dead Flies

08.07.2003

It happens to me about once a year. It's got to be one of the quirks of living out in the boonies.

I get invaded by flies. Big flies.

I got home yesterday and looked up to the ceiling and saw a fly. I got up to get the fly swatter from the top of the refrigerator (where all of us boonie-dwellers keep the fly swatter) and while passing by the back door saw that it was covered with flies (covered = about 7 flies). I looked at the back window and saw that it too was covered.

Luckily, these are big, stupid, slow flies and easy to kill. Swat Swat Swat and down they started to go like... well, flies! By the time the massacre was over, Ihad killed 21 of the little buggers.

For the 3rd year in a row, I'm still wondering how they all got in. Is there a trap door I don't know about? Am I running a fly hotel while I'm at work and nobody clued me in?

Luckily,I've got old swatty to help me keep the peace. Swat swat swat.

Camtoon Tuesday

08.05.2003

Another installment of the ongoing camtoon saga is up and available.

Yestderday I finally finished one of the websites I've been working on. All that's left now is whatever little mistakesand tweaks they want vor the next couple of weeks. I've still got 2 other (maybe 3) sites to work on, but this was the one taking up most of my spare time for the last month, so I'm glad it's finally done.

Now I might get a chance to catch up on goofing off in my spare time! Maybe.
