Jenn Martinelli Blogging in Boston

I stole this from Sarah because I felt guilty about my recent mean posts and thought I owed it to my devoted readers to give you a little fun. So, here are the rules for this game:

1. Pick 15 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for everyone to guess.
4. Strike it out when someone guesses correctly, and put who guessed it and the movie.
5. NO GOOGLING/using IMDb search or other search function

OK, have fun!

1. "I won't tell your mother about this. Right now, I'm going to bed. And take that stuff off your face before your mother sees you." Dirty Dancing - Clementine, Melissa
2. "How do you shoot the devil in the back? What if you miss?" The Usual Suspects - Sheilagh
3. "You're probably just having a mid-life crisis. Did you buy a Porsche yet? "
4. "You're not a god. You can take my word for it; this is twelve years of Catholic school talking." Groundhog Day - Kathy and Dilman
5. "Don't you ever say never to me."
6. "What's your rush, dollbody? What do you say we slip in the back seat, and make a man out of me?"
7. "You call this a happy family? Why do we have to have all these kids?" It's a Wonderful Life - Melissa
8. "Oh, I'm not trying to land him, I'm just using him for sex." Pretty Woman - Clementine
9. "I find your lack of faith disturbing."
10. "Don't point that gun at him, he's an unpaid intern."
11. "This was the moment I'd been dreading for the past six months. Well, actually for the past 22 years." Father of the Bride - Clementine
12. "We don't even care whether or not we care."
13. "I've been nothin' but myself since the day I was born, and if you can't see that it's your failin', not mine."
14. "In a good shoe, I wear a size six, but a seven feels so good, I buy a size eight." Steel Magnolias - Clementine
15. "I'm Brigitta, she's Louisa. She's thirteen years old, and you're smart! I'm ten, and I think your dress is the ugliest one I ever saw!" The Sound of Music - Clementine

(The real challenge here will be if enough people read my blog to guess all of these! I can't make Clementine responsible for all of them...)

1. An alarm I set on my dumb cell phone never went off so we overslept.
2. The Brueggers we went to for bagels has fruit flies.
3. When we tried to go to Panera Bread for lunch we found that every fucking student in Boston was already there taking up every single table and there were additional students standing around with plates of food hoping for a table to open up.
4. When we instead went to the Prudential Center there were too many fucking people there and I was heard to declare, "I hate this stupid city!" and "I hate Christmas, get these people away from me!" and "I wish all these stupid people would just die!"

Good times, people. Good times.

Anybody use liquid fabric softener? Congratulations, your clothes are coated in animal fat!

Gross.

What about dryer sheets? Are they fat-free or not? I really don't enjoy clothes washed and dried without any fabric softener but I don't want animal fat on my clothes because that's gross. So if it's everywhere I need to do something else like get one of those dryer balls or something.

Regarding a professional basketball team Mr. Burns just won in a poker game:

Oh no, no more bees? Now who will sting me and walk all over my sandwiches? - Homer

I don't even think I need to explain the problems with this. Read from the bottom up.

Subject: Re: macbook for sale
To: jerk

The going rate for the same model computer with only 1GB of RAM and 120GB hard drive refurbished is between $929 and $950. So, $800 for 4GB of RAM doesn't sound like I'm ripping anybody off. Actually you should make it your full time job to report everyone who's selling MacBooks for more than $550 to the Better Business Bureau. It will keep you pretty busy. Personally, I wouldn't buy a MacBook for $550 because I'd wonder what was wrong with it. Like I said, best of luck.

Way to rip people off. I should report you.

Regardless of what you think of the asking price, $550 is certainly too low. Apple sells the current low-end MacBook for $1000 not considering any sales and no portable computer from Apple ships with 4GB of RAM. If you can buy one of the new low-end MacBooks for $800 with 4GB of RAM I would say that's the best deal you're going to see and you should probably do it. Best of luck.

Hi -

I'm interested in the macbook you have for sale. I'd like to have a look at it but I'm only offering $550. I can buy a new one for what you're asking.

Let me know.

We are on the train at Lechmere, there are no seats, my foot fucking kills and we've been waiting for the train to leave for like ten plus minutes.

If it doesn't leave pretty soon I think I will get off the fucking thing and lie down in front of it.

No, it's not a hymn or a song about reindeer. I love Fairytale of New York by the Pogues. Of course, please do yourself a favor and just stick to the original version, don't subject yourself to a post-Kristy and post-Shawn-McGowan-having-teeth version.

Here you go, kids:

Hope you have a great day! (Even though it started off badly with me dragging you out of bed to escort me and Billy outside at 6:30 because I thought there was a drunk homeless guy lurking in our building. Awesome!)

It's happened, I'm in love with shoes. The change of the seasons always makes this happen (any change in the seasons).

Whether it's casual boots, basic pumps, fancy stiletto boots or kicky party shoes, I'm in love with them.
