HERE'S A FEW OF MY FAVORITE MOVIES
…If you havn't seen them yet, maybe check them out one boring weekend when every one of your friends decide to go out on a date with Fabio !
Now you can tell what I do during my weekends, specially winter when the streets are cold and wet -- and I meant watching movies. Good for you if you have someone warm and cuddly to go out with or to share the sofa and popcorn, otherwise you are stuck with a bottle of scotch or whatever, a computer and a modem. What do you do? Surf the net and maybe attempt to expand your horizons and get enlightened and bedazzled with the free form of information now available online. Although still some of us are inclined to socialize (the animals that we are) and press that button that says "CHAT". You'll never know, you can actually meet Tupac or Elvis online, next thing you know you are doing some virtual interaction of some kind I'd rather not talk about. If you have a partner, you can run into some really deep shit. Really now, how many stories have you heard about couples separating, people marrying, broken hearts, love affairs only made possible by "the generation" technologly called e communication? Bla bla bla My point is, take my advice and give that modem a break.
Get some microwave popcorn, your favorite ice cream, try cookie cream commotion, 2L bottle of coke, nachos with heaps of cream and guacamole, a warm doona and one of these movies:
