My Mind...

Have you ever wondered why I am the way I am?
I have wondered that myself actually.
I am 50 years young/old? I was born and raised in California, From California I moved to Pennsylvania at 16, lived there for 3 years and then we moved to Colorado. I met my husband when the Internet was young. Got married in the early 90's. We then moved to West Virginia and I have been here ever since.

3. "My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die."
4. The movie that made me remember "Don't You Forget About Me" by Orchestral Maneuvers In The Dark.
5. One scene became the logo for Amblin Entertainment and Reese's Pieces became a household name... much to the chagrin of MM/Mars for turning down that offer of product placement.
6. So many spoofs from that Boulder Scene, and why you should NEVER EVER open the Ark of the Covenant... nor trust a cute monkey working for the SS.
7. A preacher who oversteps his authority and gets schooled.
8. Chubby kid does the "Truffle Shuffle" and befriends a gigantic fellow while his friends go spelunking...
and evading nasty crooks, too!

10. Be careful who you invite into your house... or you'll get it in the neck!
11. It's so hard when the one you love is a hawk by day and you're a wolf by night.
12. How Sigourney Weaver became a household name and a kicker of Xenomorph ass!
13. "Here's Johnny!!!" "Come play with us." Poop-your-pants scary.
14. "They're HERE!!!" Another scare-the-crap-out-of-you movie... and you'll never want to be in the
same room with a creepy clown doll innocently grinning at you. EVER.
15. David Bowie at his best. Memorable and fun. Avoid the Bog of Eternal Stench!!!
16. "TETSUO!!!"
17. The movie that made me learn a song "Danke Shoen" by Wayne Newton.
18. Trying to hide from the Red Bull with the help of mage and a girl and elude an evil wizard, too.
A classic from Rankin-Bass animation.
19. Don Bluth at his finest.
20. A crossover of multiple sorts where a toon rabbit must rely on the help of a bitter detective.
Saw the BTS long ago, which did the movie justice. All-time favorite.
