I think that the Meredith Brooks' song, "Bitch," summarizes me rather nicely. Or, if you prefer, X. dell says I'm a life-smart literary scholar with a low BS tolerance...that also works!

Damnit, I'm tagged!

Ok, so I just found out that Angie tagged me, so here we go!

1. The total amount of DVD's, videos, films I own: I have no idea. I would estimate approximately 30 VCR tapes and 50 DVDs. Most of the DVDs are kids' movies, of course.

2. The last film I bought: Good question. OH, wait, I remember! Thomas and Friends: songs form the station. My son collects Thomas the Tank Engine stuff, and THIS dvd came with a SPECIAL EDITION platinum Percy! OOHHHHHH AHHHHH!

3. The last film I watched: Yesterday. Herbie: fully loaded (I think that was the full name...can you tell I have kids yet?)

4. My favourite five films of all time: See, now, this sucks. I don't like "favorites" lists because I'm too indecisive for them. I'll name off five I really, really liked, ok? Star Wars. LotR (don't make me select one of the three). Bend it Like Beckham. Princess Bride. Flesh Gordon. Just kidding! I think I've only seen like two porn flicks in my life, so no porn on my list. Hum. My last one would be... uhhh....Spirited Away. I know a lot of you probably haven't seen either Bend it like Beckham or Spirited Away. The former I think most people would enjoy. I make my classes see it for a "multicultural" movie. The latter you'd only like if you think anime is good. It has a good message and is intriguing in how it unravels, and it totally lost me in it when I watched.

I have different criteria for "favorite" movies...do you mean my favorite movies I love seeing because I lost myself in them? or favorites because they make me think? or favorites because they make me laugh? etc. For that last list, I chose the first type: favorites that I watch because I get lost in them and fully entertained.

Ok, so, now I tag two folks, eh? Laura, April! Enjoy!

Which ear did she put the tag through? Or did she put it through some other body part?

This list requires Boondock Saints, methinks... I mean, homicide by toilet and the old man with the guns, how can you beat those?

I have wanted to see Spirted Away and Bend It Like Beckham. A doesn't want to see the Beckham movie because apparently there's some big competition between femaled soccer players and female basketball players in this area. (Makes no sense, huh?) Hopefully she'll eventually like to see it. I miss them being young enough to make every new Disney movie a big event...

Gold star for you!

I would just have to add Willow myself.

April tagged me too. She's also the reason I stopped over here, she told me your blog was good.

And, she does quote Princess Bride...a lot.

I'm gonna keep checkin' out your blog if you don't mind!

Actually, Kira, I was thinking of those insecticide tags they put in animal ears. And you know that gets me hot. :;

Ency: easy to beat. There's no chocolate covered weasels in it, right?

Angie: BOTH of you would love it. It's well-written, funny, good story, and lots of interesting tidbits about Indian culture. I'll ignore stressing the good soccer scenes due to her rivalry issues, but I haven't had a single student so far say anything but, what a great movie! after seeing it.

Alex my love: you're so funny about your Willow! Yes, Mad Martigan dear ;)

April: I can't remember how it was spelled in the book for sure (if you haven't read the book for The Princess Bride, do so! I read it long before the movie came out...good stuff), but I think it was Indigo Montoya. I use that line too. Also, "I do not think that word means what you think it means." haha!

Laura: and you just did a 100 item list! Well, you're a good sport, so thanks!

Fyrchk: hopefully April's recommendation is on target. April is in charge of my ego. She is to feed it three times daily, and so far she never forgets ;)

Amanda: gee, and why is that? Tech usually does such a GREAT job of picking out books to use and movies to view! :)

Joe: yes, and I clearly remember how erect you get about those tags, but did you really want all of blogworld to know about it? :D
