Postcard Decorating Thingy, and a Movie Meme
Howdy, peeps! It's Monday, President's Day, so of course that means we're expecting a snowstorm. This day is cursed! So many storms on President's Days since we've moved here. Ironic, as "here" is the home of the President. At any rate, janie_tangerine posted this fun movie meme and I totally needed to copy it, plus awhile back I said I'd do this postcard collage thing, and I did the first half of it this weekend -- everything except North America:
The beam in our living room. It starts out Australia/New Zealand, then Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Europe and South America. We also have a lot of books and cat toys, it seems.
Meme first, actually! B/c it's wicked fun!
1. Pick 15 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search functions.
I'm REALLY going to try not to do the most obvious of obvious choices. But. Probably not. (I failed.)
1. Hey listen, if you guys do something later, can I join you?
-- We're not gonna do something.
No, I know, but if you do, can I join you?
-- We're not gonna do something later.
Okay, but, if you do?
-- Okay.
Cool.
2. People who get the calls are good. Not flashy, good. They get in, they get out, nobody knows a goddamn thing. You understand? Boom, boom, boom. Three in the head, you know they're dead.
-- You know, that's kind of catchy.
Yeah? Well I'll make you a fucking bumper sticker.
3. Would you look at that body language? Legs crossed towards each other. That is an unequivocal sex invite. -- "Clueless" from kel_reiley
4. Ever fired your gun in the air and yelled, 'Aaaaaaah?' -- "Hot Fuzz" from dremiel
5. I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that. -- "Say Anything" from count_to_seven
6. You always pick the wrong women.
-- Hey, I picked you.
Yeah, I know, we got divorced.
-- 'Cause you were impossible to live with.
"I was impossible to live with," I love this. You couldn't figure out whether you wanted to be a psychoanalyst or a writer!
-- So I compromised, I became a writer and a patient. -- "Everyone Says I Love You" from kel_reiley
7. My friend here's trying to convince me that any independent contractors who were working on the uncompleted Death Star were innocent victims when it was destroyed by the Rebels. -- "Clerks" from count_to_seven
8. You'll become one of those hunchbacked, lonely old men, sitting in the corner of a crowded cafe, mumbling to yourself, "My ass is twitching. You people make my ass twitch."
9. This is the Bridal Suite. Would you send up a couple of caviar sandwiches and a bottle of beer?
-- What? Who is this?
This is the Voice of Doom calling. Your days are numbered, to the seventh son of the seventh son.
-- Hello? Hello? -- "The Philadelphia Story" from dremiel
10. All around this house I see the signs. My daughter looks but she does not see. This is a house that will break into pieces. It's not too late. All my pains, my regrets, I will gather them together. My daughter will hear me calling, even though I've said no words. She will climb the stairs to find me. She will be scared because at first her eyes will see nothing. She will feel in her heart this place where she hides her fears. She will know I am waiting like a tiger in the trees, now ready to leap out and cut her spirit loose. -- "The Joy Luck Club" from count_to_seven
11. Ohana means family, family means nobody gets left behind. Or forgotten. -- "Lilo & Stitch" from misswinterhill
12. Now it isn't that I don't like you, ***, because, after all, in moments of quiet, I'm strangely drawn toward you, but - well, there haven't been any quiet moments. -- "Bringing Up Baby" from janie_tangerine
13. If we bring a little joy into your humdrum lives, it makes us feel as though our hard work ain't been in vain for nothin'. Bless you all. -- "Singin in the Rain" from topgeargirl2
14. There is no charge for awesomeness... or attractiveness. -- "Kung Fu Panda" from kel_reiley
15. All me life flashed before me eyes. It was really borin'. -- "Chicken Run" from dremiel
Okay, picture time!!!
Okay, we have New Zealand/Australia and then Africa (Ghana and Uganda) and Asia (Thailand and Singapore).
Here's the Middle East (Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan, Bahrain, United Arab Emirates, Oman) and Europe (Italy, England, Wales, Germany, Finland, Portugal, Spain).
And wrapping it up with South America (Peru and Brazil). And a random wall hanging in my bedroom that I finally hung up after buying it, um, a wicked long time ago.
Adorableness! The dogs conked out on my bed while my quilt was in the wash. Milo gives me a handsome look.
Willow joins us (b/c my bed is where the party is). Willow asserts herself.
In other news, I made more cupcakes this weekend. They turned out ... not the best. I have lots of experimenting to do, I suppose. And for everyone waiting for me to go through my closet, I finished! Now I need to inventory. :)
