saturday-8 :: movies and oil...



1. today i am going to see the movie "troy," as it stars my favourite actor of all time, the british sex god sean bean. are you planning on seeing it? why or why not? Although I like Brad Pitt a lot, the film makers seem to have taken too much liberty with the story and history. This will be a DVD rental for me. I'm just not feeling it.



2. the other day i purchased gas for $2.07 per gallon. i about threw up. what is the current gas price in your area? (please specify grade) Regular grade gas is selling for $2.25 in the Los Angeles area.



3. sean bean is my lust, and the german actor thomas kretschmann comes in at a close second. who are your first and second actor/actress "loves"? There aren't any that I lust over, however, I really enjoy Brad Pitt, Nicolas Cage, Sean Connery, John Travolta, Robert De Niro and Marky Mark.



4. i am going to canada via syracuse, ny in july, and had to purchase my tickets WAAAAAAY early because we're afraid the ticket prices will go up dramatically due to the rising oil prices. are you travelling this summer on a vacation? No. I'm remaining close to home and enjoying it.



5. is there any movie this summer that you're looking to see this summer, or any books you want to read that are going to be printed & released this summer? tell us about them... I don't even know what's being released, so I can anticipate seeing /reading it! LOL I'm too far behind and have my hands full with other pressing issues.



6. what is your favourite vacation destination, and why? Don't have a favorite. Something new, something different is always exciting.



7. have you heard about netflix.com? if so, have you joined/are you planning to join, and why/why not? if you haven't heard of netflix.com, go there and tell us what you think about it. personally, i'm an addict on the "5-out" programme... I've heard of Netflix and know subscribers. Of course, they tout the no late fee mantra, where they keep a movie for two weeks plus. However, I challenge them to tell me how the "no late fee" applies, when they're paying $19.99 monthly fee regardless, of which DVDs are in their possession?



Also, Netflix is increasing it's membership fee to $21.99 per month. I'm not paying a monthly fee for the luxury of keeping the latest blockbuster for two or three weeks plus. During this time, I can't receive any new selections until the old ones are returned to Netflix and by my calculations, I could've simply gone out and bought the movie!



8. are you a good flier? i have problems on takeoff, but landing and flying are no problem. I don't do flights exceeding three hours. So, you know I haven't been to the east coast!







Daily Dirt

Party Like It's 1999...

1. Do you party a lot? No, my partying days have eneded. However, when I partied, I partied hard!



2. If Yes: Do your parents disapprove? If No: Would you like to? I don't miss it. I've been there and done that.



3. When was the last time you went to a party? Can't remember. I'm sure not counting birthday parties.



4. Would you rather go in a big group of people or just a few close friends? At this stage, a few close friends. Of course, they'd be the loudest of the bunch, so we'd make noise like a huge crowd.



5. Is there a party you regret going to? No, even the most boring ones had their poignant moments!



6. (Bonus): When was the last time you threw a party (if ever)? I never have.
