Thursday Thirteen- My Favorite 80's Movies

I am a shameless child of the 80's. I love 80's music and I love 80's movies. Here are my 13 favorite....

13. Beetlejuice

12. The Lost Boys......I used to think that Corey Haim was sooooooo cute *gag*

11. Gleaming the Cube.....This movie is kind of lame but Christian Slater was in it and he was yummy.

10. Some Kind of Wonderful

9. Goonies....This is just classic, classic 80's.

8. Labyrinth

7. Sixteen Candles... "OH sexy girrrrrlfriennnd!"

6. Pretty in Pink. Shut up...I don't care what you say. This is a great movie.

5. Say Anything...In Your Eyes is just a bitchin' song. That movie has the all time Feel Good Girly Moment of the 80's where we all sighed and wished a boy would serenade us with Peter Gabriel in a boombox.

4. Better Off Dead...can you tell I like John Cusak. This movie is another classic.

3. Real Genius.......This was a funny movie, and VAL KILMER...need I say more.

2. Ferris Bueller's Day Off....This is an absolute classic. I love this movie, it is one of my guilty pleasures. If I am flipping channels and happen across Ferris I have to watch. I just can't help myself.

1. The Breakfast Club.....I don't know how anyone can argue with that.


My life is so exciting. Here are pic from a a trip to.....the post office. How exotic, hahaha. Hang onto your hats.

This is the phone company. This is where you go if you need to pay your phone bill or complain about the fact that you pay $65 a month for 256k DSL but only get 100k, maybe, on a good day! Dangit.

Brrrrr.

Here's the post office.

Well the Superbowl was a bummer.Being the good New England girl that I am (or was, anyway) I of course was rooting for the Patriots. I'm not a regular sports fan. The only time I watch football is when the Patriots are in the superbowl. I have to admit that I was feeling pretty smug seeing how they have been undefeated all season. So much for that.

Today was a beautiful day. Bright sunshine but cold at -25F degrees. Look at this brave fella.

In her blog today, Becky told a story about why she is afraid to fly. Look Becky....here comes an Alaska Airlines jet...your favorite. It's a Boeing 737-400 Combi.

Kinda looks like the thing is coming right at me.

Maybe I am a bit close.

Friday already. It seems like the week flew right by. That is unusual for me. Usually it seems to drag. Maybe it's because it is getting bright out again these days. On the way to the post office today I had to use the sunvisor in the car! Woo Hoo. It's cold again though. Oh well. I might take a ride with the snowmachine tomorrow cold or not...looks like it is supposed to be a sunny day. Here's what our sunrise and sunset data looks like for those who are interested....

As you can see the length of visible light is longer and gaining by about 8 minutes a day. The angle of the sun is higher in the sky. Civil Twilight is our length of visible light...when it starts to get light out in the morning and when it gets dark out in the evening. It's nice to leave work and have it still be light out.


Photobucket
I took a couple photos after work as the sun was starting to set.

It was getting colder and wer were starting to get some ice fog. I'll try to get out for a bit tomorrow and take some pictures.
