A Snapshot of Time

Written words, a photo, both capture a moment that could only happen once

LBC

I headed to Chicago yesterday with my friend Rachel to see my first concert! (I don't count Rockapella) We hung out downtown for a few hours, it was raining so we didn't do much. Plus it was a bazillion degrees in Macy's. (not exaggerating).


Went to see Lucky Boys Confusion. Had a good time once we found a wall (aka, a stocky guy) to stand between us and the moshers. We also feel that we should have gone on 18 and over night instead of the all ages night. For a while we felt like we were surrounded by 12 year olds, not joking. Other than that we had a blast!

Movies- The answers

I am appalled to announce that I forgot The Princess Bride... Pick your favorite quote from one of the best movies ever made and I'm sure it is one of my favorites too.

the rules
1. Pick 15 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quotation from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. NO googling/using IMDb search functions. Cheaters go to hell (even if you don't believe in it).

1- Love Actually- "Lets go get the shit kicked out of us by love"

2- Boondock Saints- "It is your corrupt we claim." "It is your evil that will be sought by us." "With every breath we shall hunt them down." "Each day, we will spill their blood till it rains down from the skies." "Do not kill, do not rape, do not steal, these are principles which every man of every faith can embrace." "These are not polite suggestions, these are codes of behavior and those of you that ignore them will pay the dearest cost."

3- Die Hard- "You just got butt fucked on National Television"

4- Sleepless in Seattle- "You don't want to be in love. You want to be in love in a movie."

5- The Lives of Others- "Hope always dies last"

6- Run Lola Run- "Who are we? Where do we come from? Where are we going? How do we know what we believe to know? Why do we believe anything at all? Innumerable questions looking for an answer, an answer which will raise the next question and the following answer will raise a following question and so on and so forth. But in the end, isn't it always the same question and always the same answer? "

7- Juno- "That ain't no etch-a-sketch. This is one doodle that can't be un-did, homeskillet."

8- ConAir- "Put the bunny down."

9- Mamma Mia!- "Bugger" "My sentiments exactly."

10- An Affair to Remember- "Winter must be cold for those with no warm memories... And we've already missed the spring!"

11- Second Hand Lions- "Well there was this one traveling salesman"

12- Forest Gump- "I'm not a smart man... but I know what love is"

13- Ever After- "Yes, I shall go down in history as the man who opened a door!"

14- Billy Elliot- "Like I feel a change in my whole body. And I've got this fire in my body. I'm just there. Flyin' like a bird. Like electricity. Yeah, like electricity."

15- National Treasure- "Look... Stairs"

16- Cars-"I create feelings in others that they themselves don't understand."

17- Shrek- "We can stay up late, swapping manly stories, and in the morning, I'm making waffles! "

18-Grease- "Tell me about it, stud."

19- Dirty Dancing- "Me? I'm scared of everything. I'm scared of what I saw, I'm scared of what I did, of who I am, and most of all I'm scared of walking out of this room and never feeling the rest of my whole life the way I feel when I'm with you. "

20- The Rocky Horror Picture show- "Hot patootie, bless my soul! I really love that rock n' roll!"

Shoes

Just sharing a random thought on my mind.

I got a good laugh today out of the clip showing Bush dodging the shoes being thrown at him.

Vaclav Havel

"Hope is a dimension of the spirit. It is not outside us, but within us. When you lose it, you must seek it again with yourself and in people around you- not in objects or even in events."

"The Butler Plague"

So over the past view days Butler has been hit with a massive infestation of a norwalk virus. We've been getting updates on the sickness and how its spreading but the official diagnosis was just made a while ago. I've said from the beginning that it was the "cruise ship virus" thank you very much. I'm just glad I go to class and that is about it. I'm glad that I 1- Don't live with anyone else 2- make my own food and 3- Don't really go onto campus except for class. Crossing my fingers I don't get it b/c the idea of having another gastro thing this semester is enough to make me.. ok I don't really know what it would make me do but it wouldn't be good.
