Well, the quotes thing was fun for me, but I can understand how it would be frustrating to do another round of guessing, so here's the quotes.  Plus this one time offer of Clarke's quotes absolutely free +S/H.

Clarke's picks:

1. "Infamous is when you're more than famous."
    ¡Three Amigos!

2. "Words create lies. Pain can be trusted."
    Audition / Ôdishon

3. "Wake up, time to die."
    Blade Runner

4. "Ha ha! You didn't count on my loyal army of prostitutes, did you?"
    Dirty Work

6. "There are no more barriers to cross. All I have in common with the uncontrollable and the insane, the vicious and the evil, all the mayhem I have caused and my utter indifference toward it I have now surpassed. My pain is constant and sharp and I do not hope for a better world for anyone, in fact I want my pain to be inflicted on others. I want no one to escape, but even after admitting this there is no catharsis, my punishment continues to elude me and I gain no deeper knowledge of myself; no new knowledge can be extracted from my telling. This confession has meant nothing."
    American Psycho (guessed by godforbid)

7. "Now look! We've figured it seventeen different ways, and each time we figured it, it was no good, because no matter how we figured it, somebody don't like the way we figured it! So now, there's only one way to figure it. And that is, every man, including the old bag, for himself!"
"So good luck and may the best man win!"
"Except you lady, may you just drop dead!"
    It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World

8. "I like these calm little moments before the storm. It reminds me of Beethoven. Can you hear it? It's like when you put your head to the grass and you can hear the growin' and you can hear the insects. Do you like Beethoven?"
    Léon the Professional

10. "Run, runner!"
    Logan's Run
    P.S. Not that hard.  Run's in the title

11. "Baby! Baby...why does he say zis baby?"
    The Producers (1968)

12. "I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass...and I am all out of bubble gum."
    They Live (as pointed out, promptly stolen by 3D Realms for Duke Nukem 3D)

Intermission

Veronica's picks:

6. "How much longer is this bidding going to take? Beside who wants a plum when someone has already had a bite?"
    Memoirs of a Geisha

9. "The thought of busting Batman makes me feel all... dirty. I think I'll give myself a bath right here."
    Batman Returns

Hope you all enjoyed the quotes.  Have a wonderful evening.

Last weekend, Clarke took me on a drive around where he used to live and "A" Mountain and such.
Well, this weekend we went to the Pima Air and Space Museum. I have been wanting to go for awhile. But we never went because Amy's against museums and Arvey...
Anyway, so we went. It was an interesting morning anyway. Clarke's mom calls us and wakes us up, saying her car broke down and when she tried to put oil in it, it fell through engine. So we were going to go get her, but Clarke's dad came to the rescue instead.
So that was that. Awakened early, with a hellish week behind us.
So about 3 or so, we went to the museum. It was cool, too, because the normal admittance is $12 per person, but we got there with an hour and a half to closing, so she let us give a five dollar donation for both of us. Awesome!
We went through the first part. They had parts of planes sitting about. I got to sit in some. I asked Clarke to take a picture of me, but he didn't. I don't know why. They had a flight simulator, too, which I would have gone on, except it was too close to closing and I wanted to see what else there was.
Maybe it's because I'm inside and never on the ground looking up at the planes I take to fly across the country, but plane=big. My heart was thumping like crazy, afraid one of them would tip over and slice me with their ginormous wings. Walking past the SR71 Blackbird was cool, considering the test pilot got to see six sunrises in one day flying that thing. We also saw an A10, which plays a little cameo in the Transformers movie (they take out the scorpion decepticon). Another little (and I mean little) thing we saw was the Bumblebee, which was the smallest flyable plane. I don't think I could have gotten have of my ass in that if my life depended on it. Tiny.
That was inside the main building. This place was HUGE!!! I can't caps it enough. They have four hangars, the outside field, that's as big as the wings of these planes, and a hangar devoted to space stuff, which we sadly didn't get to see.
Outside, the first thing we saw was the Air Force One used by Kennedy and Johnson. I walked through the Air Force One that Kennedy used, people. It was strange...and musty. We saw that plane, then went into Hangar 3, which is where they store WWII planes. Didn't get to go into any of those. But we saw a B29, which was the plane that did the most damage. They had a diagram of the inside. It was just filled with bombs. Pretty cool. They had a wall of the paintings with the names of the planes which was interesting. Lots of women...duh.
When we went back outside, we saw this transport (not people, but stuff) helicoptor. It looked like a huge two legged bug. It was pretty neat looking.
Okay, so the whole reason I wanted to go to the Pima Air and Space Museum was because of this most huge plane that was used to transport tanks and etc. Oh my god!!! It's called the Super Guppie. I got a picalature. The whole front of it opens up to load the thing, including the cockpit.
That's me, waving.





So that was the Pima Air and Space Museum. It was fun. Just walking around, heart pounding, looking at the progression of technology and such. Pretty fucking cool.
On our way out, Clarke saw a sign for some Titus thing. He says it's the missile silo that they give tours of and stuff. Sounds like another adventure to me, but apparenlty it's the fuck away, like I-17 away. For those who don't know, I-10 runs through Tucson, and the connects to I-17 pretty close, if not in, Phoenix. The fuck away. But something I wouldn't mind doing, nonetheless. :-)

Baaaah hahahahaha!

I went lately to a Buffy musical with Clarke. It was actually weeks ago, when Arvey left for Greece. Anyway, the independent theater around here, The Loft, was showing the Buffy musical episode as a sing-a-long. On the same night, a couple hours before it started, they showed the movie Serenity. It was Joss Whedon night, and I think it was because (as someone told me) it was his birthday. So they, the local Firefly fan club, the Browncoats, had presentations about Mr. Whedon's charity, Equality Now, and the local charity they contributed, too. Then they showed the movie. There was a costume contest, in which the Xander look-alike won the Buffy and everyone booed, a girl dressed as River won the Serenity and since everyone booed Xander they split the prizes between them. Then the raffle, in which one girl won about eight bags because she had about a million tickets. She was part of the Browncoats so she gave a bunch of them back to be reraffled. Then they had a presentation, an ode if you will, to Buffy, the movie and the actors from the show. Buffy played Kendall on the soap opera All My Children. Giles was in a series of coffee commerical where he and his neighbor fall in love around this coffee (also he was a Sweet Transvestite). Willow and Oz went on a date together in the movie My Stepmother is an Alien. Spike was a woman in another movie Tara directed, which I don't remember the name of. Anyway, there was the sing-a-long, which had participation with props like Rocky Horror. Good times. I was sitting next to a Dawn fan, so so I was a little more than annoyed.
Anyway, it was a fun night. I got a Buffy poster of the cover of the second comic book in the series, and on the back of it is line art from the first comic.
And that was the Buffy sing-a-long.
Amy came to visit right after that. We played the Wii, she talked about most of it. I haven't been to the Chinese restaurent since. She bought a modulator for the Wii hook-up, which is what makes the next thing so bad.
I hate Clarke! When he found out the Gamecube was hooked up with an RF adaptor, he took the original cord (composite connectors, he says) and plugged them into the front of the DVD/VHS player. He changed the channel and BOOM! The gamecube worked. FURY! We tried every single hook-up in every single way and he comes along and breathes on it and it works! BOOOOOO!
Anyway, it's his birthday today (15th). His party was yesterday. He made his own cake and BBQed his own food. Mmmmm, bratwursts. Tenderloin as well, very tasty, though I was so full I didn't have much. His cake was a free standing penguin, with rasberry/dr pepper/strawberry jello filling.
The first picture is of the layers, before frosting.
This is a frosted penguin.
This is a decapitated penguin, the head of which went into Clarke's tummy.
I met his friends, or should I say girlfriends. By the end of the party, though, only the guys were left, and they were talking about...I have no idea, I couldn't tell. I watched all six Star Wars movies at the same time on the same screen. It was amazing. THey all end in order they were made, except Attack of the Clones was longer than Revenge of the Sith (aren't we all so glad?). It was a good party. I am no longer dating a teenager. ^_^
That's pretty much the it. Here's some pictures of Amy's cake and cake, though she posted some herself, and my car, Shy.

Hahhaha. Okay. I don't like Will Farrell, but I liked Stranger Than Fiction. My favorite line is above. It was just a good movie. So well made because I didn't even wonder how it was he could hear the author. I didn't care about why. Though, I will say that Queen Latifah was given a crap part. She was only there so we could visit the author and the audience be able to hear the author's side of it. I don't think I put that very well, but the point is Queen Latifah = crap part. I laughed hysterically when he was yelling that he wasn't cursing the heavens he was cursing you, you stupid voice. Hilarious. And I loved when he brought her "flours." I almost died from that. I do not like the idea of Maggie Gyllenhaal kissing Will Farrell. Gross. But only because of the latter
However, Kathy, I'm afraid that night you forced us all into hell to watch Mulholland Drive, that picking Donnie Darko instead would not have saved you. Talk about boring! Did I miss something about the ending? That everyone would have been better off if he hadn't sleep walked (or slept walked, slept walk, i'm not sure about the past tense of sleep walk). Anyway, the whole movie was boring, dragged along. And then the ending was senseless. Unless someone can shed light on the ending and make the whole movie good, I didn't like it. Though I didn't hate it as I did Mulholland Drive.
I never thought I'd see the say when Will Farrell did better than Jake Gyllenhaal. Well, Will Farrell after his SNL cheerleader phase, because let's face it, by the time he left SNL he was NOT, repeat NOT, funny.

Everyone knows how much I love music videos. I should never have been introduced to youtube. Almost every night, I get on and watch the same few videos.
This is a Queen video (Amy, if you can just sit through the beginning, I think you'll like it.) I hear tell that it's about one, or the first, of Freddie Mercury's affairs with a man. I just recently found out that Freddie Mercury (lead singer of Queen to those who do not know) died of AIDS. As the woman I work with says, "Being gay sometimes does that." (side note: she's evil.) OH, and some might recognize this song from Shaun of the Dead.

This is one that no one will like, I think, but me because it's Tori. But I put it on here because I find it very moving. The song itself is one of my favorites of all time, but this performance just blows me away, not sure why. I have trouble listening to the recorded version because it's so much better. I like the girl in the front row during the bridge. She doesn't know the words, but she's singing along anyway and they are taping her. Gives me a giggle.

Well, I hope it brings mild entertainment. I guess the one thing that can be said of my love of music videos is how would we ever have met Mr. Brightside without it?

Well, I drove to work three days last week. As most who read my livejournal probably already know, I've hit someone on the second day.
I got in my car, turned on just the battery, put in a cd. I was just sitting there for a minute, then took the car out of park, and coasted back...into a green truck parked across from me.
I started to panic a little, turned the engine on and drove back into my spot. I ran to the apartment, and wrote them a note with my number. I taped it to the truck and then collected the pieces of my brake light cover. That was when I decided to take stock of what happened to my car. The whole cover was broken up, and that corner was knocked in. The bumper is all kind broken up. It's not so bad, but I could be pulled over for there being no red on my light.
I was in a state. I went to work. Around 3:00 p.m. she called me back and said she didn't care that I hit her because it was just a scratch on her car. Her lights still worked and she could still put her tailgate down. I was very relieved because she could easily have been a bitch about it.
Phew.
Anyway, I just taped it the cover back together and plan to duct tape it to the car. It's ghetto, but it'll work until my next paycheck. This paycheck I had to spend all my extra money to go to the clinic. I've been sick for a little over two weeks. At first, it was just a sore throat and a kind of drained feeling. I thought it would be strep throat. But after a couple days, it went away and turned into a cough--a horrible cough that shakes my entire torso. The cough stayed around, but it added a head cold of sorts. All kinds of congestion. I started taking this cough syrup to get rid of the phlegm (tasty, I know), but it stayed around. By the end of the second week, I was coughing all the time, dealing with one nostril plugged up at a time, and just not sleeping well because of both. So I went to the clinic, got a antibiotic, and I'm already starting to feel better. This morning, I slept until 10, which I haven't been able to do since I got sick. I always end up waking up at 6 and not being able to get comfortable enough to fall back asleep. Ah.
I got the new Tori album, the actual album, not a burned copy. :)

I'm driving to work tomorrow. It's so liberating.

I searched a bit on Craig's List and found a few cars under $600 I could buy, which it what I had saved up. I called them and left messages but no one called me back or anything.
Saturday was blah. Clarke had to work until noon, so he stayed with his parents so he could use the car. He was gonna take me around to shop for cars, and fun stuff too. I sat around in the morning watching TV and then Arvey came home and we put in an episode of Voyager. Clarke came over in the middle of it. After it was over, he was looking around on Craig's List and found a '99 Toyota Camry for $5500, power everything (even the seats have power adjustment), over 131,000 m. This is where my thinking gets a little erratic. I wanted the car and thought it was a good deal. So I decided to go look at it, even though I didn't have enough saved up and little chance of getting a loan for it. I called the guy anyway, went and saw it, and said I would buy it.
So I...no one judge me, remember the desperate hatred of the buses...transferred the money from my credit card to my checking account, got a cashier's check for the guy, and now I own the car.
I bought a car with my credit card.
The weirdness I feel about how I obtained the car does not quash the joy of actually having it.
This morning, I picked it up, and this afternoon I looked up car insurance quotes (Progressive is good!). He he.
So I now have a car. Tomorrow I'm going to ask my boss if it's ok if I come in late so I can take care of the registration so I can buy the insurance and hence DRIVE IT!!!!!!
I'm so relieved that it's over. It's such a nice car, despite the number of miles on it. The only thing I have a problem with is the passenger and driver side windows make weird noises when they go up and down. Gotta have that looked at. But otherwise, it's soooo nice.
Yay! I've already driven it too much. I took Clarke home (it was nice to say a good goodbye instead, "Love you. Bye. Don't miss the bus.") So many pros, but not enough time. I've work tomorrow and it's already 11:00 p.m.
Anyway, I'll see what I can do about pictures. :)
