This is a list of my top five something. Most of the time my lists are pretty static, but sometimes I do change my mind. While I do try to apply some logic to my choices, sometimes I pick things that make no sense and for no good reason other than “I like it.”

Normally I would include links to these sites as a courtesy, but I’ve decided to make you guys work today. Some of these are so familiar that there’s no reason to wonder about them, but in case you are wondering, please go check them out.
Here is approximately 100 – 150 words from a randomly selected original piece for your enjoyment. These samples can include excerpts from my all my WIPs and my Eternal Curse Series, but only as works in progress (not the final products).

Eternal Curse: Giovanni’s Angel chapter 7.1 (wip)
Mira looked at Giovanni and reached for his hand. “The creation of life is one of the few things most people in the world will agree is a happy thing. Bringing in a fresh new harvest or seeing a young child; it’s all new life and it’s all beautiful,” Mira explained. Then, Mira’s hand finally touched Giovanni’s and a jolt of energy rushed through her body; and for the first time, Giovanni felt something, too.
Mira was actually beginning to enjoy and look forward to the sensation of Giovanni’s touch, while Giovanni was beginning to experience a new sensation of his own. His hand grew warm and he became dizzy. He didn’t understand it; he knew there was nothing physically wrong with him, but this new warming and dizzying sensation lingered a bit as he continued to walk along beside Mira holding her hand.

The internal laughs of anguish just keep on rolling on…But serieouly I will get myself together. As you may or may not have noticed, I forgot to post my movie review yesterday. Well, I forgot to watch the movie also. Luckily, I watched this movie about a year an a half ago and still have some images lingering in my mind. So for today, I will not do a full review, but will simply share some things I remember about this film: Better Off Dead.
Wikipedia
From what I remember of this film it’s an atypical, but typical 80s film. I think it’s kind of a spoof on the teen dramas of that time and so it’s very funny. But like the others of its time, this film has an underdog, a popular guy/villain/guy to beat, a pretty unobtainable love interest (a popular girl in this case), and quirky or deep supporting characters that make the rest of the film interesting.
Here are the things about this film that stand out in my mind:
“Two dollars. I want my two dollars!”
Ricky’s parents using their foreign exchange student like a mail order bride.
Lane thinking of some odd ways to kill himself.
As is typical with these types of movies, the stupid teenage boy who’s been killing himself the whole movie trying to win the affection of the popular girl, eventually realizes that the best girl for him is just next door. Oh and there’s a ski race.
It’s a sweet and funny movie; one I’ll probably watch again at some point.
MOCK! and The Armchair Squid are proud to introduce Mock Squid Soup: A Film Society. Each month, on the second Friday, we shall host a bloghop devoted to a particular movie. We invite others to watch the same film and post their own reviews…Don’t be shy; come join the fun! 😀
