Life's Like The Money Pit



The Money Pit reminds me of my place. This is my shower in the last 24 hours:


Dundadundun. Money Pit? Looks like. That's what happens when you have a leak in the pipes and the wall gets really soft and gushy and crumbly. Good times had by all. It could be worse, though. The ceiling could have fallen in as I was taking a shower! I wonder what's next?

It's looking like the bedroom closet doors are about to fall off their hinges. My money is on them!!! I hope I fair better than Tom Hanks and Shelley Long did in the movie!

The Money Pit on imdb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091541/

Life's Like Julie & Julia



Julie & Julia...sigh...who doesn't want to believe that a year with an insane challenge and a crazy blog can change your life? I believe!!!! Thus, this whole entire blog about crazy challenges and going out of my way to take pictures, videos, and stories all in the life is like a movie theme! SEE, LIFE IS LIKE A MOVIE!!!!!!

P.S. And, Meryl Streep should have won the Oscar. She's amazing as Julia Child.

I also recommend the book Julie and Julia: My Year of Cooking Dangerously by Julie Powell. Her side of the story is told better than it was in the movie and it's a great read if you're in a quarterlife crisis. And, I'm about to read My Life In France by Julia Child, which I heard is amazing as well. So, there you go, get your reading on too!

Life's Like Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory OR Charlie And The Chocolate Factory

Yesterday's blog was all about how Life is Like Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory.

And, there-in lies THE DEBATE:


Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory VS. Charlie And The Chocolate Factory:


Watch both trailers...and make your choice known. Which do you think is the better movie? I have obviously made my choice in yesterday's blog.


Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory, 1971
 


Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, 2005



OR, Read The Book and of course it's SEQUEL, Charlie and The Great Glass Elevator!

Life's Like Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory



Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory....who doesn't want a Golden Ticket!!!

Sing along: "The Candy Man Can Cuz He Mixes It With Love And Makes The World Taste Good!!!"

So, I went to a candy store. I mean, that's what the movie is about after all - candy, glorious candy!

Like a kid in a candy store...


How can you choose just one piece?


Rainbow lollipops.

A Wonka Bar!!!!! I got a Wonka Bar!!!!

Did I get a Golden Ticket???? The suspense.... Do I tear it open slowly or rip it apart?!?!?!?


Sigh, no golden ticket for me. Just chocolate. Ah well, there's always pinball!!!!


Who doesn't love a trip to the candy store?!?!?!?! When was the last time you went?
