four more questions

again - thanks to the steve!

1) total number of films owned

not a clue - loads on video, not so many on dvd

2)last film i bought

the dreamers - bit of an "art" film haha

3)last film i watched

star wars episode III (at 00:31 on the day it was released - so geeky, but so cool at the same time!)

4) 5 films that mean a lot to me

this is gonna be difficult....

monsters inc (dont laugh!) - film i saw on my 1st date with my 1st boyfriend
secret window - again with a guy. this one helped in my decision to stop goin out with guys just cos they asked me rather than cos i liked them.
star wars episode III - first time i have seen a new film so early on the day of its release.
hitch - seen this a few times with family and friends who mean a lot to me.
phantom of the opera - seen at christmas time with friends who i only see once a year

Four Questions!

thanks to the steve for these!

1) how many song files are on my computer

absolutely loads! we're talking at least 100. thats what comes from having an ipod i guess

2) what was the last cd i bought

well... i bought about 10 all in one go, but i think the last one i picked up was bleed like me by garbage.

3) song playing now

oh yeah by the subways. by the way steve - i give you plenty of opportunity to have a say in what plays, but you always choose stuff i havnt got or you dont choose at all when i ask you!!!

4) 5 songs i listen to a lot or 5 songs that mean something to me

i dont have any meaningful songs (sob!) so guess i will have to go for the 1st option

decent days and nights - the futureheads
helena - my chemical romance
palahnuiks laughter - fightstar
shut up - simple plan
basket case - greenday (although this song is quite meaningful to me - it broke my karaeoke virginity!!)

the day today quotes

MORRIS: Is that worth six months of your time?
BREEN: Well I think it is-
MORRIS: I don't think it is at all! I think the only reason you've done it is to make yourself look important! How dare you come on this programme and say "Hey look at me, I'm raising fifteen hundred pounds for the homeless"! You could make more money sitting outside a tube station with your hat on the ground even if you were twice as ugly as you are, which is very ugly indeed!

MORRIS: Let's see if we can nail this down in terms of this elastic band. [Produces one and twangs on it.] Would you like to see the law tightened up to this tightness, tightness number two, or tightness number three?
MAN: Tightness number three.
MORRIS: Tightness number three. Like this? [Twangs the band again.]
MAN: Yes. I think we've really got to hammer these guys.
MORRIS: So that tightness being an average Post Office band extended over about eight inches?
MAN: Yes, I think so.

MARINER: Yeah, yeah, it wasn't a good performance. I'm going to take a shower now, all right? Thank you.
[He heads for the showers. Partridge follows him.]
PARTRIDGE: Are you going to wash away the stain of defeat?
MARINER: Er, yeah, yeah. Get clean now, and look on to the rest of the season.
PARTRIDGE: But when you get home and go to bed with your wife, and she gets a look at your body and says "Bob, remove the stain", will you remove it?
MARINER: I'm not married, Alan.

PRIEST: In whose voice do you wish justice to be done?
BAXTER: Martin Sheen.
PRIEST: Thank you very much. You may proceed.

POPPSHED: Thanks, Chris. Quick roundup of today's gayness, starting with the roads. The M70, the A3, the B664 and the A48(M), they're all gay as of midnight tonight. The gay elements are potassium, zinc, hydrogen, copper and argon. Quick look at the world's walls - the Wailing Wall is gay, Hadrian's Wall is very gay, the Great Wall Of China, that's not gay, and the Old London Wall has also stopped being gay. Gay cars next, they're the same as last night - all Volkswagens registered between 1982 and 1985, they stay gay for another fortnight. And finally, the gay seas are the Caspian and the Mediterranean, so see you there. Chris.
