As is customary during those times in which the not-uncommon combination of (a) it being time to update with something because it's been forever since I last have, (b) the extremely adept skills I have at avoiding whatever it is I told myself I'd do, and (c) a lack of time (and/or the presence of guilt) to write-up a real post, I have some memes for you. :) I thought I'd stick to the topics I probably know best: movies and music. One's participatory on your part; the other's more of a spectator sport. Here goes. (In other news, I'm not a big fan of the word "meme", but I don't know what else to call these things.)

Movie Quotes Meme
Here are the rules:
A. Pick 11 of your favorite movies.
B. Pick one of your favorite quotes from each movie.
C. Post the quotes in your journal.
D. Have your friends and visitors guess what the movies are.
E. Either strike out the quote once it has been correctly identified or place the guesser's name directly after the quote.
F. Extra points for knowing the actor or character's name. (I don't know what the extra points will get you, exactly, but sure.)

Most of these are ones I've seen recently (within the last few months or so), if that helps any.

1. "My father was a writer. You would've liked him. He used to say that artists use lies to tell the truth while politicians use them to cover the truth up."
