Guess The Movie Game…


My friend Ashley just finished her rendition of this game on her blog so I figured I would continue the trend. Anyway here are the rules if you want to do it yourself:

A-Pick 20 favorite movies
B-Go to IMDB and find a quote from each movie
C-Post them for others to guess
D-Include an actor's name as a hint and check off each quote when it's guessed correctly
E-Enjoy…

1. "You know what music is? God's little reminder that there's something else besides us in this universe…" (Keri Russell)

2. "You always, always say 'Be true to yourself,' but you never say which part of yourself to be true to! Well, I finally figured out who I am: I am your ward." (Samuel L. Jackson)

3. "No one cares about the man in the box, the man who disappears." (Michael Caine)

4. "Me? I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly... stupid." (Geoffrey Rush)

5. "It all makes sense! In a comic, you know how you can tell who the arch-villain's going to be? He's the exact opposite of the hero. And most times they're friends, like you and me!" (Bruce Willis)

6. "I don't exactly know what I am required to say in order for you to have intercourse with me. But could we assume that I said all that. I mean essentially we are talking about fluid exchange right? So could we go just straight to the sex." (Jennifer Connelly)

7. "The game starts now. You have to score one thousand points. If you do that, you take home a tank with a big gun. Each day we will announce the scores from that loudspeaker. The one who has the fewest points will have to wear a sign that says 'Jackass' on his back. There are three ways to lose points. One, turning into a big crybaby. Two, telling us you want to see your mommy. Three, saying you're hungry and want something to eat." (Roberto Benigni)

8. "You've heard of the golden rule, haven't you? Whoever has the gold makes the rules." (Robin Williams)

9. "It's a funny thing about comin' home. Looks the same, smells the same, feels the same. You'll realize what's changed is you. (Cate Blanchett)

10. "I fell so completely in love with these shoes, I bought enough pairs to last my whole lifetime. This is my last pair." (Natalie Portman)

11. "No, sir, I have no experience but I'm a big fan of money. I like it, I use it, I have a little. I keep it in a jar on top of my refrigerator. I'd like to put more in that jar. That's where you come in." (Drew Barrymore)

12. "It was Dad. I swear! Dressed like a homeless man. And you know what else was strange? A business man and a woman with a little dog came out of nowhere and forced him onto a bus." (Ed Harris)

13. "So the combination is... one, two, three, four, five? That's the stupidest combination I've ever heard in my life! The kind of thing an idiot would have on his luggage!" (John Candy)

14. "You only think I guessed wrong! That's what's so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned! Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line!" (Cary Elwes)

15. "Yea, if I could just have the thing and give it to you now, I totally would. But I'm guessing it looks probably like a sea monkey right now and we should let it get a little cuter." (Michael Cera)

16. "I'll tell you what a paramecium is! That's the paramecium! It's a one-celled critter with no brain, that can't fly! Don't mess with me man, I'm a lawyer!" (Dustin Hoffman)

17. "Y'know, this was supposed to be my weekend off, but noooo. You got me out here draggin' your heavy ass through the burnin' desert with your dreadlocks stickin' out the back of my parachute. You gotta come down here with an attitude, actin' all big and bad..." (Jeff Goldblum)

18. "They say that the best weapon is the one you never have to fire. I respectfully disagree. I prefer the weapon you only have to fire once. That's how Dad did it, that's how America does it... and it's worked out pretty well so far." (Gwyneth Paltrow)

19. "Mind tricks don't work on me. Only money. No money, no parts, no deal!" (Liam Neeson)

20. "My balloons. Those are my balloons. He stole my balloons! Why didn't somebody tell me he had one of those... things?" (Michael Keaton)

There's One In All Of Us…


I mentioned this before, but now the trailer has released and it looks amazing. They are turning one of the most simple beloved children's classics into a loving and moving movie. I hope it ends up as good as it looks. I love the design of this movie. You can check out the trailer HERE…

Tagged: Photophiles…

Once again I have been tagged to share a photo from my many files. This time taking from the 6th folder and posting the 6th photo. I usually have a place for photos on my desktop, but since most of you don't care about my mission as much, I will post the 6th photo from the Pictures menu.


This was taken when Tiffiney's sister was visiting us and she wanted to update her Myspace page with more photos. So they got the camera turned on in Photo Booth and began their photoshoot. They had a lot of fun with changing the modes and filters and came out with a lot of good shots. If you look closely I was present, but obviously not as important to the final picture.
TAG, Cheez, Ashley, Julie, and Heather, YOU'RE IT…

*NOTE*
Here is the official 6th photo from the 6th file taken from my photos folder. I didn't take the photo, but I thought it was still kinda cool. My mission president sent it to us when it snowed in Madrid.

Mormon Temples…

It has recently been announced that the HBO series Big Love will be showing what happens in a temple ceremony as well as displaying the ordinances and clothing. The episode is scheduled to be shown this Sunday. The Church has made their official statement HERE and I ask that you read it thoroughly before taking any action.

Being bombarded with a lot of crap on YouTube I was unware of the great things you could find there as well. Apparently The Church has an account and recently updated it with the following video. Rather than follow the negative rumors that will air during the HBO broadcast I felt it would be better to focus on the positive…

Baby Shower, Baby Bed, Baby Countdown…


We recently went to Idaho Falls for a baby shower before the storm. Tiffiney originally didn't want to have one, but since her sister is also pregnant they agreed to have one together. We came away with a lot of cute clothing and a few essentials for the coming newborn. It was nice to get away but wasn't long enough.

After having already bought the crib and bedding we were eager to get home to organize everything the best we could. I say the 'the best we could' because obviously it is difficult to make an appropriate nursery when you live with me. I like to store everything and since I hold onto everything I buy, I tend to run out of space quickly; which is why Lariah will sleep next to the Guitar Hero, iMac, and TV boxes (seen below). Anyway we finally got the mattress and made the bed so we can patiently await our little one;
