I watched the lunar eclipse tonight. It was very cool and cold. I had wanted to try out my new tripod and take a few pictures, but was dismayed to find that the batteries in my good camera were dead. Since they were Lithium batteries, I couldn't just turn to my substantial stash of double As to save the day. My little digital of course was not meant for moon pictures, and wasn't even worth trying out. Instead I stood on the back porch and enjoyed the weird sort of darkness under the reddish moon. I picked out Orion and wondered if the flickering planet I was seeing was Venus or Mars or whether I was completely wrong and it wasn't flickering at all.
Sherrie gave me (well, Driftwood Dragons) an E for Excellent today over at her blog. The meme there is to give an E for Excellent to 10 of your favorite blogs. It occurred to me that I probably don't read ten blogs, so it'd sort of be a pointless exercise, as I would have to name every blog I read. So...umm, let's see. I read Sherrie's blog with I've already linked to. I read Sherrie's other blog too. Then there are the people on my friend's list here at LJ, who you can see by clicking on the little "Friends" link on the side there and ignoring the BoingBoing and GreatPoets feeds. Then there are my sister's blogs over at Myspace and my brother's picture of the week. That's basically it. There are a few others that I read every once in a while, but I don't really feel like tracking down the links...so, yeah.
There's another meme going around where you take your 15 favorite movies, get quotes from them, and then have people guess what movie it is. So, I've done that below. What I discovered was that it is very hard for me to think of 15 movies that I would consider favorites. So, these aren't in any sort of order, they are quite literally the movies that I could remember liking. I'm sure there are far more, or even some movies that I like better than the ones on this list, and I'm sure I'll think of them later and kick myself.
So, there are the quotes. If you know the movie, comment, though no one ever really comments...so... if you, like many of my family and friends, do not like commenting, then simply guess in your head and never tell me what you think it is - that way, no one will ever know, not even I, whether you are right or wrong.
Oh yeah, just a tip: Not all these movies are actually in English. Some of those quotes are translated.
