*Lights* Camera ◙ Action! Take 3...

Seems like the movie posts have been a big hit in blogger world :)~ so this week, I present to you comedies. We all could benefit from a good laugh or two :) he hee, and like the old saying (that is very true)~ "Laughter is the best medicine." Here are some of my favorite comedies.


"NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VACATION"



"SIXTEEN CANDLES"
LONG DUCK DONG was HILARIOUS!



"KINDERGARTEN COP"
This clip is called *WHO IS YOUR DADDY AND WHAT DOES HE DO? LOL - the last few kids are funny!*


"LIFE STINKS" (1991)
-
A rich businessman makes a bet he can survive on the streets of a rough Los Angeles neighborhood for 30 days completely penniless. During his stay he discovers another side of life and falls in love with with a homeless woman. Although the plot summary doesn't seem funny, there's one scene in this movie that always cracks me up.


"AMERICAN PIE" (The original)

*Winter* S.P.R.I.N.G☂, Summer ☀, or Fall?



Ahhhhh ~ Summer is coming close to an end :( and soon *fall* will be upon us. Fall happens to be my favorite season ☺! I ♥ when the weather is just right. Not too hot, but not too cold. I was born in October and have always been a fall baby. I love taking walks in the park during this time of year, breathing in the crisp, cool autumn air, wearing jeans and a hoodie (ah, my favorite) without feeling like a freak since I even dress like that at times in the summer and I love Halloween. I love the ~eeriness this season brings. I'm going to do a twist and do my 1st poll on here. (Thanks to Eric and his polls, they are now in my head). What is your favorite season? Please list from most favorite to least favorite. A.) Winter B.)Spring C.)Summer D.)Fall

I'll start off.

I HATE WINTER beyond belief. I get the winter blues... It's too cold and when it gets dark by 4:00 in the afternoon, that brings me down.

The *SNUGGIE* ツ...

Evil-E and I were flipping through the channels & came across this commercial for "The Snuggie" (known as the blanket with sleeves) and at the same time we were like "WHAT THE FUCK?" and couldn't stop laughing. At first I thought this was some spoof off of old "SNL" reruns ha ha but unfortunately I was wrong. These people look like MONKS or cult members. Below is the commercial I found on YouTube (not a very clear video, but if you follow the direct link below you will see the SNUGGIE in crystal clear footage). And the greatest part is, it comes in 3 different colors!!! YES, YOU HEARD THAT RIGHT FOLKS ;)!

P.S. Unfortunately I have bad news for my fellow cult members. According to the snuggie site "There is a limit of 6 blankets per order."

Saturday Scavenger Shots #1 (Animal)

This is my 1st for the Saturday Scavenger Hunt & this weeks word is *Animal* which was chosen by Churlita. I'm a huge animal lover :) so this shall be easy. Below is my lil' baby NEMO :)! When I used to live with my mom and step-dad, there were 3 cats in the house. Casper, Nimbus and Nemo. Casper and Nimbus are brothers (they are camera shy so no pics of them), and then we got Nemo a year later and although he's now full size he's so petite I call him my baby :)! He's always hiding so that's how I came up with the name Nemo :)! I love baby Neems :)!



Below is of a baby-tiger (portrait like sketch/etching) I did back in my college days in art class.


This next picture contains two animals ;)! Evil-E (my wild animal ha haa) and their family dog *POOKIE* - pic taken during Easter '08! Don't we make such a happy family together lol ;) ?!?!?


And last but not least, here's my baby Menudo and I (taken several years ago during our skinny days...) He is a Chihuahua (kind of hard to tell in the pic) but now he kind of resembles a polar bear :( since everybody loves to feed him.

One of my favorite animals in the world are baby *orangutans* :)!!! Awwwwwwwwww, isn't this so freakin adorable?!?!? I hope one of these days, I'll be able to hold one of them in my arms (no matter how bad they smell according to a show on Animal Planet) and get a really cute picture :)!

*Lights* Camera ◙ Action! Take 2...

This week, I bring you *HORROR*! Out of all genres, horror flicks is #1 on my list. I love the adrenaline rush I get when I watch these movies. Knowing that these movies are primarily fiction (although some are based on true events) is the main reason I don't get scared by them. Below are some clips/and trailers from my favorites!

"The Strangers"



This douche is no stranger on Mtv's The Hills.


Rob Zombie's "Halloween"





"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (The Original)





"The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" (2003 feat. Jessica Biel)





Some of my other favorite scary movies include "Fire From the Sky", the original "Halloween" series, "Friday the 13th" & "A Nightmare on Elm Street" series, "The Mothman Prophecies", "Wrong Turn", "The Hitcher" (2007) and a oldie but goodie "Wheels of Terror."

What horror movies (if any) are your favorite?

Dolphins to the rescue :)!





Lately I've been watching a lot of shows on Animal Planet and one of the episodes was truly amazing! I've always loved dolphins and knew they were gentle towards humans but I didn't know to what extent how intellectual they really are.


The show was about a group of lifeguards swimming off the coast of New Zealand and a pod of dolphins came to their rescue when a great white shark was swimming underneath them. The dolphins bunched the four swimmers together by circling about 4-8 centimetres from them, and slapping the water with their tails for about 40 minutes. At first the lifeguards had no idea what was going on and they thought the dolphins were going to attack them but then the oldest guy drifted from the group and realized that a shark was near and the dolphins were there to help them.



Below is a clip (the picture is poor quality but that's the only video on YouTube that I could find) from the show.



The show had a happy ending ~ nobody was hurt and if it wasn't for the dolphins saving the lifeguards, who knew what could have happened!

One of the things I would love to do in my lifetime is to swim with dolphins :)! Just not in the ocean ;)! I used to love SEAWORLD but those f@ckers took it away from the location here in Ohio.

*Lights* Camera ◙ Action! Take 1...


I'm a big movie buff and love all kinds of genres - from horror flicks, to comedies, drama and romance, etc. etc... Today's theme will focus on ♥R.O.M.A.N.C.E♥ flicks. Below, I have included some of my favorite scenes from these movies:


Titanic - Heaven Scene





The Notebook- I love when Noah says, "Well that's what we do, we fight... You tell me when I am being an arrogant son of a bitch and I tell you when you are a pain in the ass. Which you are, 99% of the time. I'm not afraid to hurt your feelings. You have like a 2 second rebound rate, then you're back doing the next pain-in-the-ass thing." LOL - on how much I can relate to this quote since I'm a pain in the ass 99% of the time. I don't mean to be :( though!




In this scene - it goes a lil something like this! Young Allie: Why didn't you write me? Why? It wasn't over for me, I waited for you for seven years. But now it's too late. Young Noah: I wrote you 365 letters. I wrote you everyday for a year. Young Allie: You wrote me?Young Noah: Yes... it wasn't over, it still isn't over [kisses Allie]





GHOST

TOP GUN - Take My Breath Away



OK - enough of this lovey dovey shit. Sorry BOYS for torturing you! I will be shocked if you made it this far with the movie clips hee heee ;)! To all my girls out there reading this. Which romance movies are on your list?

Next week, I will choose another genre. Possibly horror!
