very few people i know like fargo. and they always look at me strangely when i say i like fargo. of course just goes to show i'm keeping the wrong kind of company, eh? ;)
I will have to come back and finish reading this but for the moment I am busy shaking my head... Bill Clinton ... really? ugggg did you live in the US then - really ewwwwwwwwwww
ok. sorry - it is your meme. I'll be back ;) promise. Just need to go scrub my eyeballs and bleach my brain and then skip that part to finish reading it all later :)
oh I am nasty today!
w.v. stione.... can't make this stuff up.

This is lovely--half of these I have never heard of, but I am loving that some of my fave cult-classic movies made your list. (Princess Bride & Napoleon Dynamite, I'm looking at you.)
xox
PS I have taken to calling my adorable--but drooling--niece The Dred Pirate Bubble Beard.
I LOVE homemade pizza with odd ingredients too. Friday nights have been "make-your-own-pizza" nights at my house for a while. I like avocado, tomato, and shrimp best. Mmmm.
fun, fun, fun! i'm playing too! but i spent too much time posting a video on my blog tonight, so i'll work on it tomorrow afternoon (have to work in the morning.)
Hmm, a little confused about what a "meme" is, maybe I too much of a newbie. I can tell you that in Maori though, it means to go peepee. So this post had me giggling like a little girl.

molly (my very first follower) made up a meme. all by herself. and i mean, why not? someone's got to do it, right? well, she didn't actually tag me for it, but i'm going to do it anyway because i'm the fairy blogmother and i can do stuff like that. and plus, i'm going to pick up my blog campers today and so it makes for an easy scheduled post.
[Image]totally gratituous rock shot
here's what molly says about her brand spankin' new meme:
I've always had the problem of not being able to pick a favourite. I don't have one favourite movie or one favourite book, or one favourite food. Life's just a bit more complex than that for me. I'm 75% Gemini - go figure.
So the idea here is that you list 5 items in each category, a favourite 5 - but not necessarily in order of favouriteness - to show the diversity/similarity/hilarity/polarity/ or extreme same-ness of your personal likes.
And then tag 5 peeps to do the same. And feel free to add or subtract categories as you like. Down with meme imperialism!
and here are my favorite things....
5 favorite songs (this list would be different if you asked me in an hour or a day):
1. Hotel California - Eagles
2. I think I'm in Love - Beck
3. Citizen of the Planet - Alanis Morissette
4. Express Yourself - Madonna (this song saw me through a bad breakup)
5. My Sister - Juliana Hatfield 3
5 favorite films:
1. Fargo
2. The Princess Bride
3. Afgrunden (The Abyss) (1911 danish silent film--i loved it before i ever even came to denmark)
4. The Castle (it's a hilarious australian film)
5. Napoleon Dynamite
i had total deja vu writing this...but i think it's b/c of saturday's scheduled post (another meme).
5 favorite books:
1. Pushkin House (Pushkinskii Dom) - Andrei Bitov
2. The Corrections - Jonathan Franzen
3. Wind up Bird Chronicle - Haruki Murakami
4. Love in the Time of Cholera - Gabriel Garcia Marquez (just kept this one here from molly's list)
5. What I Loved - Siri Hustvedt
5 favorite crushes (there is a distinct old man theme going on here):
1. David Letterman
2. Hugh Laurie
3. Bill Clinton
4. Todd Benjamin (saw him moderate a panel last week at Nor-Shipping--i'm a sucker for a smart one)
5. Fox Mulder (yes, i realize he is a character played by David Duchovney, however, it's Fox, not David that I'm crushing on.)
5 favorite (random) things:
1. my pet rock
2. perfume
3. iPods
4. my Macbook Pro
5. iPhone
5 favorite things to eat (you knew i was going to have to add one of my own):
1. mango (especially in the philippines)
2. salty almonds
3. homemade pizza with wacky ingredients (pears & salad - potatoes & chicken)
4. watermelon
5. tapas - garlic shrimp, chorizo,...mmm, just thinking about it makes me hungry
and i thought that i would tag three new bloggers that have discovered me i've discovered recently and two old friends:
15 Comments
Close this window Jump to comment formLOL I knew that Todd chap would make an appearance here. Surely a temporary crush though, not a long lasting passion?
I love the stone wearing a wee hat, so sweet.
All set for the big day? Loved the live prep via twitter last night!

What I Loved - Siri Hustvedt :: love that book too! But actually can't remember much about it - just know I loved it. Think I'll go read it again...
June 19, 2009 at 10:03 AM
Oh, and have a blast today!
June 19, 2009 at 10:04 AM
So excited, I've been tagged too. It'll have to wait until after Fragrant Friday. I love wacky pizza too and Fargo!
I'll be at a college orientation all day so I'll have to catch up on blogcamp excitement tonight!

June 19, 2009 at 4:47 PM
mmm... I never would have thought of putting pears or potatoes on a pizza but now I'm wondering if breakfast is to early to try...
I really do need to read Love In A Time Of Cholera. I've been meaning to for a long time but something else always comes up.
June 19, 2009 at 6:41 PM
deep breath...this is cool.
