Movies and Terrorism

This picture shows President George Bush getting off his private helicopter, getting ready to make a public announcement.

No terrorists attacks so far.

Maybe tomorrow.

There's nothing better like a turkey and cheese sandwich with some mayonnaise (real mayonnaise, not that miracle whip slime) to start the day right. I filled my shatterproof pop-top drinking cup with some apple juice and started drinking away. Oh my, how the taste of food in the morning just wakes you up so good and tastes so new. It's like you're eating for the first time in hours.

Did I mention that I stopped drinking so much soda? Yeah, I used to drink probably about twenty a day (I am in no way joking), or probably more. But, people tell me that it's bad for you, and I don't want to do things that are bad for me, so instead, I choose to do things that are good for me, i.e., apple juice, Gatorade (which I hear mixed reviews on if it's good for you or not), LEMONADE (which is still not in the fridge yet), and, well, water, eventually. I'm hoping to wean myself off all this garbage. I really love eating healthy. I buy everything either light or low fat. Yes, I can taste a difference in the food products, and no, it may not taste as good. However, if you eat if for a

while, you tend to forget how the fat-packed version tastes and you like the new ones. If you just force yourself to buy it at the store, and you just eat it, there's little you can do about it. I've never been one for addiction -- except maybe soda -- so when I start changing my diets, I'm pretty easy-going. But that's not to say I'm not a picky eater. My goodness, how I love Italian food (don't we all?). I think I could live purely off Italian food -- namely pizza, kids. Ah, the joys of food.

To be perfectly honest in a very, "please-don't-feel-bad-for-me" sort of way, I sat in my room all day. I went out a few times to go to the bathroom, but, other than that, nope. I sat here, eating, typing, working on some various projects I had to do. So, there's nothing good to post in this entry. However, I did finish my list of my favorite one hundred movies of all time. The thing about this list is that it could be wrong. I may be forgetting a movie, not thinking of one, or simply didn't think too hard about which movies I liked over the other ones. I tried to get some varying genres in there, and that can cause problems. But, for all intents and purposes, here is the list:

If, for some reason, I'm completely mistaken in my movie judgment, or have another suggestion to throw at me, I'd be happy to hear from you and possibly put it on my list. That'd bump another movie off, but that's cool as long as it's better than any single movie on this list (and I agree, and I've seen it).
