MOVIES

I was inspired to list some movies (books and music etc.) that I really enjoy/ed after reading a cyberfriend’s MySpacer list…. Maybe, if I get around to it, this summer, I’ll come round and add reviews, and try to rearrange the way this is listed in the blog. Ha! Yah, right! Who am I kidding? I realize that each of our likes and dislikes are obviously borne of a complex cocktail of memories, experiences, sensory pleasures, but who has the time to write these out? Oh wait! I was challenged to write this blog…Dared, actually, so maybe I should, uhm, make the time…
