Stylish Blogger Award

The Mythical Monkey at "A M.M Writes About The Movies" (Which you should definitely check out if you are unfamiliar), so kindly awarded me with the Stylish blogger Award, shucks folks I'm speechless. 
As a recipient I am to post a link to Myth Monks blog and  carry out two duties which are:
  • Pass it on to some 7 stylish bloggers. 
  • and to write 7 random tell all facts about yours truly.



So here we go with some random facts:
  • I have a character/celebrity crush on Sam Shepard as The Farmer in Days of Heaven. I don't know what it is..
  • Rome? or some other foreign land forget about it. I have always wanted to go to States, so I have planned to travel around the USA next year. In the mid year particularly to the Western, Eastern, Southern states. I am looking forward to it so much.
  • Funnies: I really enjoy these reviews from red letter media. so hilarious. If you really have a disdain for the newer star wars trilogy I recommend you watch them.

  • When I was 4 or 5 I stole a packet of those pink hundreds and thousands biscuits from the supermarket because My mum refused the treat. So in my determination I "discreetly" put them under my shirt & I got away with it. So in that case crime did pay and it was delicious! 
  • That Friday song (it sounds like fried egg) has been repeating its self in my head. The tune is by Karen Black whose 13, drives and has her bowl and cereal  and Thanks to my brother introducing it to me I've had it in my head all day and its driving me insane! I think she'd be suitable on a kindergarten show. its goes exactly like this: "Kickin in the front seat, sittin in the back seat... gotta make my mind up which seat can i take"?  "fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun fun". I hate it how its the songs like this that are immediately catchy. 
  • I still live with my "Mommie Dearest" and its not bad, but I really can't wait to move out, mainly so I can decorate my own place, I go pretend shopping for vintage pretty things I dream my house will be consumed by. good times. I'll be 21 on April 20th (same birthday as Adolf Hitler's, I reckon I couldn't share it with a more well known person, even though I would rather share it with a likable chap)
  • Because I don't know what else to share without totally scaring you off:
 "My guilty movie pleasures", they aren't the most sophisticated but to me there's  something pretty great about them, I don't feel particularly guilty for liking them but you know there are drawbacks. Some of these movies serve as delights for personal nostalgic reasons or as shear entertainment for their straight out non stop hilarity and campiness. 
The Goonies, Bridget Jones (1&2), Dumb and Dumber, Steel Magnolias, Don't tell Mom the Babysitters dead, Mommie Dearest, Overboard, Welcome to the doll house, Psycho II. 

  • Movies that are Real Stinkers (for me): I try not to watch bad movies but sometimes they just happen like how Inception happened, it was impossible to like this, I don't understand the hype. Operation Petticoat: sorry fans I couldn't warm up to it even Cary Grant couldn't save this for me and finally the terrible Alex and Emma (Kate Hudson and Luke Wilson), Paris when it Sizzles is waaay funnier than this. 
 and lastly just movies with talking pets well talking animals in general (non animated ones) and Babies that go on trips by themselves, and "talking babies" > Baby Geniuses. Eddie Murphy in a fat suit, Murphy in his films where he plays all the characters in the family etc. and just most of those pointless remakes that have been coming out lately. 


Like Mythical Monkey I follow a lot of blogs so yeah it took awhile to choose..
Drum roll please....
The Stylish Blog awards go to (in no particular order):

Congratulations on your award, and thank you for passing it along to me. I will hunt for appropriate attire to wear to the awards ceremony.

Thanks for the praise!

So easy to love The Goonies, I can totally understand your fondness for it, a favourite of mine too.

Oh, Dawn at Film Noir and Chick Flicks -- another blog I read every day and forgot to mention.

My mistake was trying to finish my post just before I headed out the door to see my tax lawyer -- if that doesn't rattle you, nothing will.

There are a couple of names on your list I don't think I know -- new blogs to follow!

The Star Wars review is hilarious, by the way. I remember seeing The Phantom Menace right at the end of its run -- we'd just moved back from England -- and we went into the theater in such a forgiving mood that if it had been 1/10th as good as Robinson Crusoe on Mars or something, we would have loved it. And we wound up bored out of our skulls. I think Katie-Bar-The-Door fell asleep. I mean, who falls asleep during a Star Wars movie?

I hope you enjoy your trip to the U.S. next year. It's a big country -- 3000 miles from one coast to the other -- but lots to see. However, if when traveling in the South you notice signs urging you to "See Rock City," don't succumb to temptation. It's a classic tourist trap. Right up there with the world's biggest ball of yarn.

On the other hand, the museums and monuments on the mall in Washington D.C. are free. Something to think about.

Lastly, congratulations on the Stylish Blogger Award -- whoever conferred it on you must have supremely good taste in blogs.

Congrats on your award, and thanks so much for passing it on to She Blogged By Night! You know, I feel the same way about "Operation Petticoat." I don't really hate it, but it did very little for me. Sometimes, a boring movie is worse than a bad movie.

Thanks Guys! :0

Myth Monk: I know so many places to go and see, (thanks for the tip btw lol) I hope we will be doing the trip all at once, if so I should be over there for awhile which would be soo great.. Still have so much planning to do (not to mention money to be saved)...

The star wars episodes are awful, those reviews are funny and informative and just make you want to re-watch the originals.

Kelley: Thanks you so much for being a fan of my blog, I actually just realized I don't follow you, I thought I did, so i fixed that!! :)

Zoë Walker said...

Stacia: Yes the problem with Petticoat is the length, despite the pink sub, its dreadfully boring glad your with me on it!

Millie said...

And, for some CRAZY reason I was not following your awesome blog. FIXED.
