Ten Day Challenge: Three Films

We're nearing the end of this challenge! Ten days that I turned into ten weeks. This week's challenge? My three favorite movies.

1. Say Anything - Love, love this movie. Classic 80s teen romance. John Cusack with that boombox? Iconic. I have a poster of it hanging in my cube at work. Yes, my cube is decorated like a dorm room. "I gave her my heart and she gave me a pen."

2. Princess Bride - Another quirky 80s romance. I have a type when it comes to movies, obviously. There are people out there who have never seen this. WHAT. Get on this, people. It's on TV all the time and occasionally it's on Netflix instant. "My name is Inigo Montoya, you killed my father, prepare to die."

3. Harry Potter - I can't help it, I love The Boy Who Lived. Plus, it was easier to pick Harry than to pick from any of the other numerous movies I love to death. It's weird - the Harry Potter movies make me think of Christmas and winter, while the books make me think of summer. Random. "Of course this is happening in your head, Harry, but why on Earth should that mean it's not real?"

I have a bunch of other favorite movies, of course. I'm sure many of my good friends are reading this saying, "But Katrina! What about The Breakfast Club!?" That movie was my favorite for years. I can probably quote every single line. It's still my favorite, I just felt like branching out a bit.

I've been slacking in the blogging department lately, I apologize. Life just got rather hectic. I've been working overtime at work and have a few side projects that have been taking up most of my free time. I hope to have things back under control for next week, but until then, how about a few little random thoughts & things?

• I admire that KFC is completely unapologetic about how outrageously unhealthy their food is. "We're KFC. Are we adding a 'healthy options' menu? No. We've created a bowl of mashed potatoes and fried chicken topped with bacon bits. You're welcome."

• Are you guys watching 2 Broke Girls? Because it is hilarious, and you should be. 

• My fabulous friend Helen has a blog, and she is hilariously sharing her dating pratfalls. You guys should check it out. It will make your love life look so sane and tame.

• Have you seen the trailer for Hunger Games yet?! I'm unabashedly excited for this. Here you go. You're welcome.

• Thanksgiving is next week. THANKSGIVING IS NEXT WEEK. How did this happen? Where did November go? Truth: not a big fan of turkey. Unless it's fried. But the mashed potatoes and stuffing? That's why I show up. I invented carbo-loading.

don't you forget about me

Just a clip from my all time favorite movie on this dreary New England morning.

Unfortunately, the embed feature for all the Breakfast Club clips has been disabled on YouTube, but here is a link if you are so inclined. It's worth it!
