So, You Think You Watch Movies?

I decided to put together a little game today to let anyone see if they know movies as well as my roommates and I do. In one column I have put quotes from a variety of movies. In another column there is a list of movies that the quotes come from. See how many you know!

1. "Pinecones!"
2. "Everything in this room is eatable. Even I'm eatable, but that's called cannibalism and that's frowned upon in most societies."
3. "But Lloyd, Petey didn't have a head!"
4. "Who is the most beautiful woman in the world, Jacob?"
5. "Prepare to dive!"
6. "The world must be peopled!"
7. "Hi, how are ya?"
8. "Just call me Joe."
9. "We want a shrubbery!"
10. "I like talking about nothing. It's the only thing I know anything about."

A. The Brothers Grimm
B. Ice Age
C. Much Adu About Nothing
D. An Ideal Husband
E. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
F. Down Periscope
G. Sahara
H. You've Got Mail
I. Monty Python and the Holy Grail
J. Dumb and Dumber


I'll put the answers at the bottom of my next post. If you haven't seen any of these movies, I highly recommend them. They are hilarious! Have fun!

"Chewing gum is really gross. Chewing gum I hate the most." -Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

One of the assignments in my women's health class this semester has been to write down everything you do for one week. So as a responsible person I did the assignment. When I looked back through my schedule this is what I found.
Tuesday:
9:30-10am Wake up, eat breakfast.
10-11:30 "homework," watch T.V.
11:30-2 homework, watch a movie.
2-3 shower, get ready for the day.
3-4 class
4-5 homework, watch T.V.
5-5:30 take a nap
5:30-7:30 homework, watch T.V.
7:30-8:45 Enrichment
8:45-11:15 Go to a movie.
11:15-1am homework, watch T.V.
1-8am sleep.

How pathetic was that day?! Okay, so I was sick that day, but that's no excuse! I think I'm also rebelling subconsciously because my parents never let me do my homework in front of the T.V. So now that I'm on my own what do I do? I only do homework in front of the T.V. Its amazing to me that I'm still able to keep descent grades. Well, I'm about 50% sure that I have good grades.

Not only do I watch way too much T.V., but my roommates and I watch a plethora of movies. Kat, one of my crazy roomies, has 220 DVD's and Videos up here! 220! We've probably watched at least 50 of them. So, since we watch so many movies, we have come to quote them incessantly. We have a "quote" board on our door and we have written all the funny quotes that we love from the many movies we have watched. We love to quote these movies so much that we can literally have full fledged conversations just from quoting movies. People that come over cannot keep up with us. This is possibly why we usually don't have many guests. Here's just one example:

Our home teachers came over and as usually we just casually chatted before they got into the wonderful lesson. Well, they noticed our quote door and inquired about it. We explained that we just write quotes up there that we like. Then the annoyingness that we are ensued. We began quoting movies. It went on for about 10 minutes. At one point I looked at our home teachers and the looks on their faces was a little too similar to those of a deer in the headlights. But once my roommates and I get going on quotes, we can't be stopped. Luckily we were able to calm ourselves and realize that our home teachers were still in the room and they probably had a lesson they wanted to share with us.

As much fun as I have watching and quoting movies, I feel that I should probably do something better with my time, like knit a scarf or actually read a book. But who has time for that anyway?

In conclusion, watching movies is really fun.

Wednesday Top/Bottom

Dominoe's

Top:
1. Free Food
2. Getting a paycheck.
3. Working with hot coworkers.
4. Free food
5. Oh, did I mention free food?

Bottom:
1. Having a stupid boss.
2. Having an ugly boss.
3. Being forced to wave a stupid pizza sign on the corner.
4. Washing trays.
5. Getting paid minimum wage.
6. Working with annoying people.
7. Getting chastised for not tucking in my shirt when everyone else's shirt is untucked.
8. Admitting to people that I worked at Dominoe's.


As you can see, my top list is much shorter than my bottom list. Also, I would like to note that it took about twice as long to come up with the top list for things about Dominoe's than it did for me to write my bottom list. Coming up with crappy things about working at Dominoe's came very easily to me. Just so you know, I quit my job at Dominoe's, but that's a story for another post.
