Movie quote meme

I posted this in a note on Facebook, but I thought I'd toss is up on here too.

This was fun to do (and it's been fun to try to guess other peoples' choices too):

1. Pick 10 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Post your guesses as a comment at the bottom.
5. No Googling/using IMDb search or other search functions.

**********************

1. "What's the point they're all the same, some stupid killer stalking some big-breasted girl who can't act who is always running up the stairs when she should be running out the front door, it's insulting."

2. "I want you to think of what you ate today. Got it? Now cut that in half, this is called a diet, people, everyone start one today! Darcy, you should stop eating. You see, when you skip a meal, your body feeds off its fat stores. And if you skip enough, maybe your body will eat your ass! "

3. "What's in the box?"

4. "Well, yes, ma'am, I do... I mean, I got everything I need right here with me. I got air in my lungs, a few blank sheets of paper. I mean, I love waking up in the morning not knowing what's gonna happen or, who I'm gonna meet, where I'm gonna wind up. Just the other night I was sleeping under a bridge and now here I am on the grandest ship in the world having champagne with you fine people. I figure life's a gift and I don't intend on wasting it. You don't know what hand you're gonna get dealt next. You learn to take life as it comes at you... to make each day count. "

5. "December 24th, 1989, 9 PM, Eastern Standard Time. From here on in, I shoot without a script. See if anything comes of it, instead of my old shit."

6. "All I want to do is graduate from high school, go to Europe, marry Christian Slater, and die. Now it may not sound too great to a sconehead like you, but I think it's swell. And you come along and tell me I'm a member of the hairy mole club so you can *throw* things at me?"

7. "It's a well-known principle that if you keep the flint in one drawer and the steel in the other, you'll never strike much of a fire."

8. "Ma'am, I'm never gonna be an English teacher. But I know why I'm here: to be a pilot. And you don't dogfight with manuals. You don't fly with gauges. I mean, it's all about feeling and speed, and lettin' that plane become like a part of your body. And that manual says that a guy who's a slow reader can't be a good pilot. That file says I'm the best pilot in this room. Ma'am, please, don't take my wings."

9. "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."

10. "Leslie and I have an amazing relationship and it's very physical, he still pushes all my buttons. People say 'oh but he's so much older than you' and you know what, I'm the one having to push him away. We have so much in common, we both love soup and snow peas, we love the outdoors, and talking and not talking. We could not talk or talk forever and still find things to not talk about."

Cupcakes. You're surprised, right?

This afternoon was spent with friends at a bridal shower (which I'll have lots more pictures of, I'm sure, posted on Flickr later).

I was getting my camera and things out of my bag when I looked up and saw cupcakes being delivered. I was then helping with flowers for the tables when I wanted to know where the woman delivering them got her boxes. My mother asked for me, and instead of answering my mom, she looked right at me and answered and proceeded to tell me (something to the effect of) "I saw you when I walked in and I read your blog! I want to know where you got the giant sturdy box you had!" I was absolutely floored and completely flattered that there is someone out there that reads my blog!!

Here she is setting up the cupcakes (I can be sneaky with a camera when I want to be, lol):

and here are a few more cupcake shots!

I am sorry to say that I did not taste them. Not because of any other reason than I don't like cake or other sweets, I very rarely even eat my own cupcakes. I did sneak a taste of the chocolate frosting though off my mom's cupcake when she wasn't looking and it was fantastic! *shh don't tell!*

I'll leave you with one more photo, but it's not of cupcakes. This was the theme to Megan's shower ... "Celebrating Women".

just sharing some photos

I finally got my hands on a copy of Photoshop the other day. Then I downloaded the Photoshop Actions from the Pioneer Woman. I love them.

Here are a few of my favorite photos that I've taken in the last year (some from the wedding I shot in September, some from the Strong Vincent re-enactment I shot in June, I think you'll be able to tell which are which, lol, and one of me, 'cause I'm feeling vain!). Feedback is always welcome!

cupcake video

So, now that my Food Chain video is done and uploaded, I can share it with you! You'll have to excuse Dave's shaky camera work, this really wasn't filmed in an earthquake, LOL.

I left out the outtakes (thankfully, LOL), but still have one of them saved, just in case I decide to share it one day. You won't see me swearing because I screwed up or spilled milk all down the front of me. You won't hear the dog tap dancing through the kitchen because I forgot to put him in his kennel (he's not allowed in the kitchen while I'm baking). You won't hear the kids wrestling above me in their rooms.

Here it is, me, in all my dorky glory, baking in my teeny tiny kitchen!

I got the camera!

My Blake Makes Food Chain camera has arrived!

I needed something good after the week I've been having and when I called Dave as I was leaving work he let me know that I had a package arrive for me at the house. I knew exactly what it was, as I wasn't expecting anything else.

Here it is!

Here's me with the camera .... *ooooh ... ahhhh*

I just had to test it out, to get a feel for it, so I used the subject closest to me, which just happened to be my Milo! It was really easy to use and didn't take much figuring out how to get things working.

Now, if there's anyone local who happens to read this and wants to help out with my video, please let me know - I'd love to have you in it!
