I swiped this idea from Melyssa’s site. The 100 top rated films at IMDB are listed within and I’ve bolded the ones I’ve seen. I’m kinda surprised I haven’t seen more. I’m a self-proclaimed Box Office Whore. ;)

Insomniac
I haven’t been sleeping well the past few days and I can’t figure out the cause. So now I’m just torn between “giving in” and taking a valium, or some Nyquil, to ensure I don’t toss and turn all night long, or just stay up later than normal to force myself to exhaustion. This is so frustrating for me because I used to fall asleep within minutes and not wake up at all during the night. Now I take forever to fall asleep and I feel like I’m half awake the entire night. Nothing in particular is on my mind so I don’t think it’s anxiety. I don’t know what it is really. I’ve even taken baths latey to try and make me sleepy but it’s not working.
Estimate
Well it’s going to cost almost $3000 to have my poor baby fixed. The girl’s policy (we have the same insurance company) will cover it, as well as the rental car I will need while my car is in the shop. I spoke to the body shop today and they have to order some parts so I won’t be able to bring my car in until either late this week or next Monday. I so hate driving around in a wrecked car. I want to put up a sign that says “this just happened and it wasn’t my fault!”
Tequila Chicken
Lately we’ve been trying out new recipes here and there because we’re tired of the same old food day after day. Plus, it’s healthier to use fresh ingredients. I can’t tell you the last time we ate Hamburger Helper, and that’s a good thing. Tonight we tried a recipe that was on a recent low-carb special on the Food Network – Tequila Chicken. It turned out delicious and will definitely be a frequent dinner choice. The chicken was very juicy and had a fantastic flavor. The recipe is only available for a limited time on the Food Network site so be sure to print it out if it looks appealing.
“Looking so long at these pictures of you”
As some of you are aware, The Cure re-released Pictures of You on January 6th. I originally pre-ordered it from CD Universe but then cancelled it because I am cheap. I didn’t want to pay shipping on it and then pay for shipping again on the 27th when the b-sides box set I pre-ordered was released. I figured I’d just get both around the 27th to save the $3.
But then I found out that this single is really difficult to find because only a limited quantity have been issued, and no reprints will be made. I checked some local stores and every music store online that I could think of to no avail. So yesterday we’re at the mall and Joe suggested I check the FYE. Of course they didn’t have it. As we’re leaving, we passed a really tiny (FYE is easily five times bigger) Sam Goody store (aren’t they owned by the now defunct Musicland?) and he suggested I check there. I said, “Why bother? There is no way they’d have it.” He suggested I check just in case and wouldn’t you know it, they had not one, but two copies. So yea, I bought them both. Just think about how much this gem will go for on ebay down the road! I’m pure evil.
