Last night I had a bowl and a mugful [don't ask] of my homemade chicken noodle soup...while lacking in carrots [or "feet-ass" as Stu so colorfully phrases it], it tastes alright...it's simple and is done in 30 minutes, just boil the chicken/chop it up while waiting on the noodles, plop them in the broth and heat it up while adding in pepper, parsley, salt, & onion powder. Tasty...except I always want a grilled cheese sandwich with it.
I dreamed last night about playing harp and then it turned into something else...it was much more epic and quite lengthy but I had to do a lot this morning and promptly forgot. Anyway...that's another food to add to your list of "good for dreams eating."
Today I decided I was going to write more of Violet's Monster [beginning book II] and opened a blank word document to find...that I didn't want to write after all. The muse is gone, at least for the moment, and I've been procrastinating all day. :P Sigh. I do have about 3 weeks to revise/edit the first one so I can hand it in to my English prof...I mean, NaNo helped me write it but I do have a due date. So it looks like I need to spend about $3.50 and print out a copy. I'm getting more excited about it and I know when it's all printed out I will spend some time reading through it...at least ten minutes. XD
Anyway, what was I saying? I had something specific in mind when I opened up this post...ah, well...it's an update, right?
SEVEN CHRISTMAS MOVIES I MUST WATCH THIS [AND EVERY} YEAR:
1. The Muppets' Christmas Carol - arguably the best version. And my favorite Christmas movie...ever. Followed closely by:
2. The Grinch [the cartoon] - Not the one where it's just the book illustrations, but the actual green Grinch. Not the live-action one either, although baby Grinch is absolutely adorable.
3. Merry Christmas, Charlie Brown!/Charlie Brown Christmas - I love Linus in this one. I can also play the "Linus and Lucy" song on the piano.
4. While You Were Sleeping - hold on, hold on, it DOES take place at Christmas, and my brother and I had a tradition of watching it every year around this time. What's NOT to love about a Sandra Bullock/Bill Pullman movie?!
5. Rudolph the Red-Nose Reindeer - The clay-mation movies are throwbacks to my childhood. I love this version of the story and I'm fascinated with this type of animation.
6. A Christmas Story - I know, I know, everybody [or it seems like everybody] hates it and does not understand why it's funny, but...I have a soft spot for it.
7. Elf - Stu's favorite Christmas movie and also one of mine...Will Farrell is terrific, and so is Zooey Deschanel. Their duet and Buddy the Elf's one-liners are my favorite things about this movie.
Runners-Up:
It's a Wonderful Life - only because I really like "You Can't Take it With You" more.
Christmas Vacation - funny, but...still, it's Chevy Chase.
Shrek the Halls: Shrek's Christmas Special - just caught part of this last night. So ridiculously Shrek that I loved it. I <3 Fiona as an ogre. And Shrek is awesome. But I didn't see all of it so...can't go on my tops list until I do!
What are your favorite Christmas movies?
Chicken soup doesn't make me hallucinate. (it makes me want to puke, but that's another story.) I think maybe your dreams are caused less by food and more by you being a freaky dreamer. :P
ReplyDeleteLOL @ Abbie. You're probably right...except I have noticed that my dreams get crazier if I eat certain things right before bed...maybe it's a combo...:P
ReplyDeleteI want to hear the chicken noodle = puke story. What is up w/ that?!
