My Birthday :-)

First, I want to thank each and every one who attended my birthday party, and those who didn't but would have liked to, or meant to. I had a great time, surprisingly good, and at some point, in spite of what I would have expected, the different people from different aspects in my life meshed together oh so well.

Thanx to Eze for coordinating this, and thanx to my mom and to my sister, Chichi. They all worked to make this birthday one of the best yet. :-D

Now, since this is the kooky blog by me (as opposed to the more personal one), now this is what I got (^_^ weeee!):

By Eze:



(up 'til now, this album sounds beautiful, specially the song featuring Damien Rice, The Power of Orange Knickers - kooky title!)

By my Mom:

A Samsung DVD player (woot! at last my OWN dvd player, if only de AUX panel on my TV set would work... but no worries, mom is willing to exchange her TV set for mine).

By my sis:



(started watching it, weirdly compelling, this take on Jesus Christ's story is in context pretty much by the book, but the outlook and the way they filmed it is not only humorous at times, but overall a crack trip! plus, watching Victor Garber play Jesus - after watching him play Jack Bristow in ALIAS - is totally mindboggling)

My sis also gave me two bumper stickers (Gawd bless Betty Paige) and a humongous [Betty Paige] sticker (still dunno where to stick).

By Vivi:

a pair of wonderfully delightful barrettes (little Lenore-like skulls with bows stuck to their heads, will take pic and post later, ok?) and little apple earrings (to match my gift to myself, heh heh!)

By Alfonso:



(leafed through it a bit, wonderful photography, at times mesmerizing, at times inspiring, overall incredibly colorful book on interior design and architecture details... have to see it more detainedly... Thanx, Fonz! :-D)

By myself:


Powerbook G4, 12 inches ... and me so fucking happy to have it I'm even overlooking the price ... for now.


I think I'm not forgetting anyone's gift. Still, if you wanna see more on my b-day, go to the other blog.


Ta ta!

A doll you don't play with

My sister did me the "favor" to introduce me on Saturday to two new kinds of dolls resembling the Blythes: dollfies and pullips (view last entry, that would be Alice Pullip) ... expensive as hell but beautiful.

This here is a dollfie:


... a doll you cannot play with but damned cute! ^_^

Fell in love all over again

With Pullip dolls! Specially this one:



I LOVE her I LOVE her I LOVE her! I WANT one I WANT one I WANT one! Bua!

Thump thump!

Your Seduction Style: The Coquette

You are a pro at playing the age old game of hard to get. Your flirting style runs hot and cold, giving just enough to keep them chasing you. Independent and self-sufficient, you don't need any one person to make you compelte. And that independence is exactly what makes people pursue you.

What Is Your Seduction Style?

Your EQ is

113 50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick! 51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese. 71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely. 91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that. 111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt. 131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin. 150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar.

What's Your EQ (Emotional Intelligence Quotient)?

The Fucking Big Blog Entry

Why? Because it's mine, because I'm home, happy and have tons of time to spare!

I made a list of the movies I own, and I wanted to share what they are and my fave quotes of them (this is so airheaded and high schoolish, but fuck it!)

so...

DVDs:


Labyrinth

"I ask for so little. Just fear me, love me, do as I say and I will be your slave."(sexy quote of forever)




Requiem for a Dream (Director's Cut)

"You smug fuck!" (now, I know it doesn't say much, but it's a very striking combination of words spoken by my one and only goddess, Jennifer Connelly)




Happenstance (or, by it's original title: Le Battement d'ailes du papillon)

Little tidbit: the american DVD cover (not the same as french edition) doesn't even correspond to the movie, apparently it's either from another movie, or casting photos for Audrey Tautou.




Amelie (orig. title: Le Fabuleux destin d'Amélie Poulain)

"Sorry madam, I don't work on Sundays." (this coming from a beggar refusing money is kinda funy and cute)




Death to Smoochy (full-screen version ... I REPENT!)

"It's a shame this happened. Okay, now let's go pray and get shitfaced." (classic, mafia-style grief)




The Way of the Gun

"Can't you people see there are guns here? Get, the fuck OUT! GET OUT!"




Hannibal

Hannibal Lecter: Would you ever say to me "Stop. If you love me, stop?"
Clarice Starling: Not in a thousand years.
Hannibal Lecter: "Not in a thousand years"... That's my girl.
(so romantic, I wish they'd had left the original book ending)




Institute Benjamenta


It has no close captions, no subtitles, so this is a movie to watch calmly and at a reasonable volume, which I haven't been able to do yet.




The Brothers Quay Collection

Just pure genius without words.




Alice in Wonderland (Masterpiece Edition)

"Curiouser and curiouser." (this is just plain trademark, wish they'd had put in "We're all mad in here")




Jesus Christ Superstar

"Every time I look at you I don't understand why you let the things you did get so out of hand? You'd've managed better if you'd had a plan. Why'd you choose such a backwards time in such a strange land? If you'd come today you would've reached a whole nation. Israel in 4 B.C. had no mass communication."




The Ring

Aidan Keller: What happened to the girl?
Rachel Keller: Samara?
Aidan Keller: Is that her name?
Rachel Keller: Mm-hmm.
Aidan Keller: Is she still in the dark place?
Rachel Keller: No. We set her free.
Aidan Keller: You helped her?
Rachel Keller: Yeah.
Aidan Keller: Why did you do that?
Rachel Keller: What's wrong, honey?
Aidan Keller: You weren't supposed to help her.

That final line is fucking spooky.




Benny & Joon

"They used to be fat and juicy and now they're twisted. They had their lives stolen. Well, they taste sweet, but really they're just humiliated grapes. I can't say I am a big supporter of the raisin council." (this line is referred to in Pirates of the Caribbean, deleted scenes)




Charlie's Angels

Guilty pleasure .... **blush**

"I signed that release waiver, so you can just feel free to stick things in my slot."




The Man Who Knew Too Much

Haven't watched it yet (shame on me!)




Night of the Living Dead

Field Reporter: Are they slow-moving, chief?
Sheriff McClelland: Yeah, they're dead. They're all messed up.

JAJAJJAJAJAJAAAA!




Return to Oz

Jack Pumpkinhead: If his brain's ran down, how can he talk?
Dorothy: It happens to people all the time, Jack.




Clockwork Orange

"The Durango '95 purred away a real horrowshow. A nice warm vibraty feeling all through your guttiwuts!" (that composite word "horrorshow" is just sticky candy in your mind)




Jojo in the Stars

Just a beautiful movie, no quoting from its running 11:45 minutes needed. It breaks your heart and mends it in just one sweep.




Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2-disc Collector's Edition)

"Constantly talking isn't necessarily communicating."




Queen Margot (orig. title: La Reine Margot)

Henri: Your mother hates me.
Margot: Yours hated me.
Henri: Yours killed mine.

Hee hee! Such murderous plot... all sprung from the St, Bartholomew Massacre (August 24, 1572) in Paris.




Casshern (copy)

What quotes? This movie is all about the visuals!!!




In the Mood for Love (orig. title: Fa yeung nin wa)(copy)

Another movie that doesn't need quoting. It's all about the ... moods.




Legend (Ultimate Edition)

Princess Lily: You are nothing but an animal!
The Lord of Darkness: [laughs] We are all animals m'lady.




Donnie Darko (The Director's Cut)

Donnie: Why do you wear that stupid bunny suit?
Frank: Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?




White Oleander (full-screen version, dammit!)

"Don't look at me like that. You're no different than I am... you just don't know it yet."




VHSs

Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid

Don't have quotes nor the cover yet, but will do, I promise.




Wayne's World

Wayne Campbell: Am I supposed to be a man, am I supposed to say, it's OK, I don't mind. I don't mind. Well I mind! I mind big time? And you know what the worst part is? I NEVER LEARNED TO READ.
Cassandra: Is that true?
Wayne Campbell: Yes, everything except the reading part




Wayne's World 2

Wayne: Who are you?
Jim: I'm Jim Morrison.
Wayne: And who's he?
Jim: A weird naked indian.




Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure

Bill: Socrates: "The only true wisdom consists of knowing you know nothing".
Ted: That's us, dude.




The Secret of NIMH

Mrs. Brisby: You keep making all that noise, and Dragon's sure to hear you, if he hasn't already.
Jeremy: Wouldn't you sing too? I mean, if you felt...
[laughs]
Jeremy: if you felt the call of the wild?
Mrs. Brisby: I would not, if I knew there was a cat nearby.
Jeremy: But she's out there, somewhere. And when I find here, I'll feel it way down in my wish bone. I - -What cat?




An American Tail

Tiger: Listen, I like mice.
[Fievel cries]
Tiger: Oh, no. Not like that. You see, I don't eat red meat at all. I'm a vegetarian. Oh, a little fish now and then, but what I really like is a nice piece of... shh... broccoli.




Quills

"Why should I love God? He strung up his only son like a side of veal. I shudder to think what he'd do to me."




The Goonies

Irene Walsh: Pants and shirts go in the... oh, forget about it. Just throw everything into cardboard boxes. Clark, can you really translate all that?
Mouth: For sure, Mrs. Walsh.
Mouth: [in Spanish] The marajuana goes in the top drawer. The cocaine and speed go in the second drawer. And the heroin goes in the bottom drawer. Always separate the drugs.




Fight Club

"Tyler sold his soap to department stores at $20 a bar. Lord knows what they charged. It was beautiful. We were selling rich women their own fat asses back to them."




Monty Python and the Holy Grail

This is such a quotable movie, I wouldn't know where to start. But here goes one of the best:

Lancelot: Look, my liege.
[trumpets]
King Arthur: Camelot.
Sir Galahad: Camelot.
Lancelot: Camelot.
Patsy: It's only a model.
King Arthur: Shh.




Stigmata

"The kingdom of God is within you and all around you. It is not within buildings of wood or stone. Split a piece of wood and you will find me. Look beneath a stone and I am there."



12 Horas

For which I found no cover nor quotes and Eze thinks it's one of the worst movies ever made.




Zoolander

Matilda: I became...
Hansel: What?
Matilda: Bulimic.
Derek Zoolander: You can read minds?

Recent Buys

Jojo in the Stars
Which I haven't received yet, not yet not yet... Sent for it from the UK (got charged in Libras, which amounted to almost $30, but it's good, I hope it's worth it ...



The Little Mermaid

Japanese animation version! I remember watching this video over and over again when I was just 6 or 7 years old. I was OBSESSED with mermaids, thanks to the movie Splash (Darryll Hannah, Tom Hanks, John Candy ... remember?)... I started drawing mermaids on every scrap of paper, I asked for any mermaid-related item or toy I laid my eyes upon, I played pretend with other kids when I was in the water that I was a mermaid... if only I had learned to swim back then (... but no! I had to wait 13 additional years for that...) Well, you get the picture of how important this movie was for me ...
