Day Forty-Eight! Wow. :D

[tabaqui]

Heya! Looks like I took a wee break from posting, eh? But - still here, still sneezing.
The worst thing about this allergy-from-hell reaction this year, is *I feel sick*!! My nose is alternately running or stuffed up, my throat hurts (and itches), my ears are sort of clogged and they *also* itch, down inside, I cough, I sneeze, I feel...blech.

But no fever, no aches, I know I'm *not* 'sick', but I just feel like shite. ARGH.
Plus - name-brand allergy meds are *hella* expensive, jeez.

Anyway - I'm back! And I'm going to start off with this movie meme, snagged from sweptawaybayou. Who, btw, is still *here*. And now she's posted! Go say hi. :D

Also, check out the awesome Alphabet Meme sparrow2000 is doing!

So - on with the meme!

Favourite movie: Omg, really? ARRGH. Okay...'Auntie Mame'.
Movie that makes you remember your childhood: 'Jaws'. It's New Hampshire, it's the beach, it's voices like my dad's family, like every summer at the beach at Hampton ever, and the woman with the curly, dark hair, who in the town meeting says 'I don't think that's funny at all'? Is a DEAD RINGER for my Aunt Mabel. So...yeah. :D

I love so many of these movies, too!

I'm sorry you feel wretched.I hope the allergies pass soon.

[tabaqui]

So many good ones!

Man, it's ridiculous - I've never had allergies this bad for this long.

I woke up today with my chest feeling tight and my head feeling a bit stuffy. This has been going off and on since the end of February. I'm sure it would have bothered me at any time but this is a time when we're paranoid about all symptoms.

[tabaqui]

Right?

Plus it's just...NEVER ENDING. I am just so over these fucking allergies.

[ruric]

I find it so difficult to do fave movies or books - my opinions change on a daily or even hourly basis depending on mood!

Might have a go at this!

Psst - I disagree with your overrated movie *G*

[tabaqui]

It is hard, yes! I certainly have more than *one* favorite!

BWAAAAAAhhahahahaahhaahaaaa.
Omg, I remember watching ....that overrated movie (and I literally cannot think of the name. I never can!) and just going 'gods, is it over yet? now? is it done now? holy fuck!'

I like the *idea* of it, but the execution left me utterly flat. My ex-SO and i both were very underwhelmed.

[trepkos]

I can never watch "The Abyss" - they were so cruel to the rats.

[tabaqui]

Awwww!
Well, just one rat, and that scene bothered me, too.

But i love the story too much, so i just ff through it. The marines are all bad guys, anyway (mostly), so i can just hate them more.

[trepkos]

Knowing that the rat was really harmed for the film makes me hate everyone involved.

[tabaqui]

Arrrgh! I hadn't heard that. Yuck.

Sadly, the Humane Society monitoring is not always used, and even when it is, sometimes their requirements aren't very stringent. At least, last time I read up on it.
