30 Days of Blog Meme: Day 2
So the 30 Days of Blog continue with the following subject:
Day 2: My Favourite Film
That one, I can give a more comprehensive answer than I could the favourite song. It may not be the one I default to, but the film that never fails to make me smile is Pump Up the Volume, starring Christian Slater and Samantha Mathis.
There are a few reasons I love this film. Firstly, big Christian Slater fan. Fairly unapologetic about it. I think he's quite good at what he does, though I've sort of lost track of him over the last few years. Second, the dialogue never fails to inspire me. I mean, it's not about anarchy exactly, but it is about speaking out about bullshit, even if it's just sounding one's barbarous yawp to anyone who's willing to listen. Whcih I suppose explains my blogging habits and ... you know, me in general. And third, it's always fun to see Seth Green sporting that ungodly mullet, and trying to work out which of the nameless extras is Juliet Landau.
Plus, the music is excellent.
So, for the record, here's the list of topics to which you may look forward:
Day 01 → your favourite song
Day 02 → your favourite movie
Day 03 → your favourite television program
Day 04 → your favourite book
Day 05 → your favourite quote
Day 06 → whatever tickles your fancy
Day 07 → a photo that makes you happy
Day 08 → a photo that makes you angry/sad
Day 09 → a photo you took
Day 10 → a photo of you taken over ten years ago
Day 11 → a photo of you taken recently
Day 12 → whatever tickles your fancy
Day 13 → a fictional book
Day 14 → a non-fictional book
Day 15 → a fanfic
Day 16 → a song that makes you cry (or nearly)
Day 17 → an art piece (painting, drawing, sculpture, etc.)
Day 18 → whatever tickles your fancy
Day 19 → a talent of yours
Day 20 → a hobby of yours
Day 21 → a recipe
Day 22 → a website
Day 23 → a YouTube video
Day 24 → whatever tickles your fancy
Day 25 → your day, in great detail
Day 26 → your week, in great detail
Day 27 → this month, in great detail
Day 28 → this year, in great detail
Day 29 → hopes, dreams and plans for the next 365 days
Day 30 → whatever tickles your fancy
In other news, I have been playing Dragon Age Origins. I generally don't play that sort of thing, butmitchy said I might enjoy it and suggested I poke around with it while she was out. And so ... okay, I admit it - now I want a copy of my very own. I will probably not end up playing melee classes by choice, but given the way the game's set up, I still get to have a poke at all the races, classes and so forth one way or another. *sigh* Waaaaaant.
Well, perhaps soon. There may be good news on the job front. I am not saying too much because I do not want to jinx it. So I'll just leave it at 'may'. And gibber quietly.
