Movies Monday!

Mom loves the Movies. I dunno what this guy, Oscar, has to do with the movies, but she watches him every year.

Last night she watched him again, and she scared me a coupla times when she jumped out of her chair and started squeeing.

What did she squee about?

Slumdog Millionaire (over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over!)

Man On Wire

Heath Ledger



What can I say? She's weird, is all.

Easy Like Sunday

I am playing with my nifty little 'Nip fortune cookie. Mom doesn't understand "Easy." Yesterday she did the Washing Machine Shuffle, went Food Hunting, dragged the Rug Sucking Monster around, and cleaned the Sewing Studio. She and Mr Karate went out to lunch and then Mom watched Tennis in Oz.

Way back in 2005, before I was even born, Mom read this book: Q & A. She loved it. Well, the [in]famous "They" made a movie based on it. Mr Karate & Mom will be going to see it.

I'll be napping, and taking it "Easy."

Thursday Thirteen - 13 Happy Endings

Mom is hijacking my blog to show 13 of her favorite movies. They all have happy endings. As do most of the movies she buys.

Here they are, in alphabetical order:

1. A Room with a View
2. Bull Durham
3. How To Steal a Million (with Audrey Hepburn and Peter O'Toole. Mom says you GOTTA watch this one!)
4. The Illusionist
5. Monsoon Wedding
6. Mostly Martha
7. The Natural (actually, Mom is NOT a baseball fan)
8. Persuasion
9. Pride & Prejudice (she LOVES Jane Austen)
10. Sliding Doors
11. Shakespeare in Love (well, OK, maybe this one isn't quite a happy ending)
12. The Shawshank Redemption
13. Strictly Ballroom
Of course, there are others, but this is a Thursday 13.


And DMM... perhaps a wager on The Game this weekend? Between my Guys Named Pat and your Bolts?
