Movie Meme

I guess I'm supposed to do this cuz I'm tagged at the bottom of Kylee's list, and cuz its kind of fun.
Its hard to just pick one, and then I always feel like I need to give a reason for each one, but here goes my movie listing of sorts.


1. One movie that made you laugh
Dumb and Dumber, I know its dumb, but some parts of that movie just really get to me.

2. One movie that made you cry
Of Mice and Men probably made me cry more than any other movie, but I was young. I watched it again when I was older and didn't quite get what I made all the fuss about when I was younger.


3. One movie you loved when you were a child
Robin Hood

4. One movie you’ve seen more than once
The Princess Bride

5. One movie you loved, but were embarrassed to admit it
Kung Pow: Enter the Fist

6. One movie you hated
The Notebook. Pretty much every girl loves this movie, but I thought the story was annoying and ridiculously cheesy, especially the ending. Maybe hate is too strong of a word, more of a general dislike. Worst movie ever though was Fantastic Four.

7. One movie that scared you
2012

8. One movie that bored you
X-Men 3

9. One movie that made you happy
Singin in the Rain

10. One movie that made you miserable
The Proposal

11. One movie you weren’t brave enough to see
I don't think I would put it that way, but more like, why on earth would I ever want to watch that. Only one coming to mind is Saw, I, II, or III, or anything made by rob zombie.

12. One movie character you’ve fallen in love with
Belle from beauty and the beast. I don't care that she is a cartoon.

13. The last movie you saw
There Will Be Blood. I still wonder why this movie was called that as there was hardly any blood.

14. The next movie you hope to see
The Dark Knight

15. Your favorite movie
Almost Famous

K, now the rest of the house of Shakim, including Auggie, is supposed to do this which I know they won't, which is lame. I bet Auggie's favorite movie is Airbud.

Park-Park

Chad's in town. Tori's birthday is Saturday and he wanted to give her a good ol' surprise. So he called on us to prepare the curry and promised to bring VooDoo doughnuts and our bellies were quite happy last night. We journeyed to the park with 5 in the back of a truck to watch the Invasion alongside a large group of Christian teenagers. It was chilly but nice out. I'd like to be a park patron. I'd like everyone to be one. Have we forgotten the wonders of nature's (nicely groomed or not) free entertainment? Who would like to help me gather about 50 or more friends for a rousing game of Ultimate Frisbee and a hearty potluck?

I would really appreciate that. Are all my posts a call for something?

Our Dog Is A Cat

Everyone all at once, name a local charitable organization that needs money.

I want call them up and make fun of them for wasting their life.

Kidding. Seriously. I need names.

The house of Shakim went on a nighttime picknick with a couple guests tonight. It was a pleasant lake Lowell experience. We saw a couple birds and some lake water. We also skipped rocks and ran great distances to see a horse and his privates. Diana and I feel guilty for not taking Auggie, but he would have just been a pain. Oh... And by the way, the Irish Cream flavor of Cadbury chocolate is much stranger tasting than it sounds.

This has been Wednesday night in the house of Shakim.
