sauntering vaguely downwards

so, i was already working on this thingy and then truecrystal tagged me, so...

that music meme thinger:
1. Total number of music files on your computer? home: 4606 "songs", 19.81GB (half of this is my entire HP audiobook collection); work: 119 songs, 429.9MB (i really need to remove these)
2. The last CD you bought was: jack johnson, "in between dreams". haven't listened to it yet, though.
3. What was the last song you listened to before reading this message? well, i'm still listening to it... "sleeps with butterflies," tori amos.
4. Write down five songs you often listen to or that mean a lot to you.
"a tear in your hand," tori amos
"last goodbye," jeff buckley
"maxwell's silver hammer," the beatles
"three little birds," bob marley
"when you give your love to me," kevin gilbert

i left off #5, which is where i have to name three people to pass on the meme. i figure you guys are big people and can do the meme if you want or not. :)

in other news... ( NUMBERS TONIGHT WHEE! )

words cannot express the love.

eta: OMG I ALMOST FORGOT: numbers on at 9PM ET/PT, not 10p like usual. thank you, dctemo_13.

all right, here's the final list. i've taken out the folks who guessed and added in my "why do i love this movie" commentary. all the guessing winners are listed back in the other post.

of all the movies on the list, i was most shocked that no one guessed or knew #12. casablanca, man. afi's #2 movie (which i think is ROBBERY).

i think y'all just need to come over and watch movies with me more. i have wine and my kitty is cute (but she serves the dark lord, so be sure not to stand in front of any dark drapery).

1) ( blue velvet )

2) ( blade runner )

3) ( garden state )

4) ( the lion in winter )

5) ( zoolander )

6) ( HACKERS )

7) ( the american president )

8) ( say anything )

9) ( rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead )

10) ( the princess bride )

11) ( shakespeare in love )

12) ( casablanca )

13) ( sunset boulevard )

14) ( heathers )

15) ( star wars )

16) ( raiders of the lost ark )

17) ( annie )

18) ( chasing amy )

19) ( clue )

20) ( help! )

so, i've buckled like a cheap belt. but, as is typical when i do these things, i couldn't keep it to 12 movies, and i think you will just have to deal with that.

lovingly borrowed from just about everyone on my flist...

the rulez:
- i list 'em, you guess 'em.
- once the quotes are guessed, i'll strike it out and post the name of the guesser.
- after each is guessed, i'll let you know why it's in my list, but i'll do it in a separate post. :)

( the music meme, or how enkeli likes to break the rules to suit her )

i always forget how much i love music until i start something like this. :)

seen on notlefthanded's journal...

So, say you were meeting a new person - blind date, new friend, who knows. And you wanted them to have some idea of what kind of person you are, and who you are. But you can't actually tell them in so many words. Instead, you have to give them a box, with a dozen things in it for them to ponder over.

What would you put in the box? No cheating - you're not allowed to include things such as links to your livejournal.

( my box o' stuff )

everything i picked has a great story that goes along with it. some items have more than one story.

i figure the dude's in a dead run by item 7.
