INTERMISSION: ME ME MEME

 

So, I just reopen the doors and I'm already taking an intermission? Sure, why not, especially since our old pal Archistrategos over at Ecce Ego, Quia Vocasti Me has decided to tag me with another meme. This one appears to be one of those "get to know me" type of things, which is kind of funny considering I use an alias. (Sort of. Mwa Ha Ha!) But, let's give it a shot anyway and see if I can stay in character while giving honest answers.

WHAT WAS I DOING 10 YEARS AGO?
In April of 1998 Netflix went into business with a whopping 900 titles. I couldn't have cared less, though, because I was still going to the movies at that time and I was getting really psyched for the release of the American version of Godzilla coming out in May. Come on, those adds were really cool. I'm much wiser these days.

FIVE THINGS ON MY TO-DO LIST:
[1] Watch more movies. I've been working too much lately. Besides then I'd have more reference material and could blog more. [2] Blog more. Seriously. Blogging keeps me studying religion and I've got so much more to learn. [3] Pray more. Cause blogging and books only get you so far. [4] Confess more. Cause it's easy to make praying all about yourself if you're not careful. [5] Quit accepting memes that are all about me!

THINGS I WOULD DO IF I WERE A BILLIONAIRE:
[1] Make a lot of family members and friends very happy. [2] Make a lot of charities even happier. [3] Since I wouldn't have to make a profit, probably open up a small theater showing my kind of movies just for the fun of it. (There had to be a selfish one in there, I'm not a saint you know.)

THREE OF MY BAD HABITS:
[1] I often end up watching "just one more short movie" before I go to bed and end up not getting enough sleep. [2] I drink way too much Diet Coke. [3] I refuse to acknowledge any possible connection between my ingestion of liters of caffeine and my inability to sleep.

FIVE JOBS I'VE HAD:
In no particular order: [1] Stock Boy. [2] Staff artist at a Happi Names store. [3] Graveyard shift worker at a door factory. [4] Real Estate Appraiser. And, wait for it... [5] Asst. Manager/Projectionist at a few movie theaters. Didn't see that one coming, did you?

FIVE SNACKS I ENJOY:
Also in no particular order, my favorite munchies when it's time to pop in a DVD: [1] Chips & salsa. [2] Gobstoppers. [3] Doritos. [4] Peanut butter & saltine crackers. [5] Popcorn. But not with buttery flavored topping on it, because, thanks to a previous job, I know darn well what's in there.

FIVE PLACES I HAVE VISITED:
[1] Panama City Beach, Florida. Where they filmed 1972's Frogs. (Heck yeah!) [2] St. Augustine, Florida. Where they filmed 1955's Revenge Of The Creature. (I even went to Marine Land!) [3] Houston, Texas. Where they filmed 1976's Futureworld. [4] Savannah, Georgia. Where they filmed 1982's The Slayer. And most important of all... [5] Nashville, Tennessee. Where they filmed 1974's The Burning Hell! Oh, the worms, the tormenting worms!

FIVE PLACES I'VE LIVED:
[1] Phenix City, Alabama. Where they filmed 1955's The Phenix City Story (I grew up in "Crime City". Hooray!) [2] Columbus, Georgia. Where they filmed 1976's Kiss Of The Tarantula. [3] Stone Mountain, Georgia. Where they filmed 1987's Voyage Of The Rock Aliens. [4] Waveland, Mississippi. Where they filmed 2005's skateboard epic Call To Fly. [5] Orange, Texas. Where not only did they film the 2007 documentary Southern Fried Bigfoot, but they used to have a cool roadside attraction called Swamp Thing (that's him in the photo up at the top, just in case you were wondering what that was all about).

And that's it. Whew, that was a pretty hard one and it really contains way too much about me. Time to get back to my anonymous seat in the dark where I belong.
