peanut butter and witches
Published Friday, May 13, 2005 by naptowngirl.
Hi everyone,
I had the most random connection over lunch yesterday with a friend from work. turns out we've both seen this horrible movie called The Worst Witch. The Worst Witch is a really bad movie made in 1986 about a girl who goes to a boarding school for witches and is really bad at it. The special effects are terrible and it's really quite trippy (especially this funky scene with tim curry). AND i happen to own this wacked out piece of film history. (don't worry it was only $9.99) Who would have thought there were other people in the world who would have seen this movie.
So today we were talking about the movie again and i mentioned this other really bad movie from my childhood called The Peanut Butter Solution. Now the other movie was really bad. this movie was bad and creepy!!! what's even funnier is that on the message board at imdb.com there seems to be a common theme to everyone who posted. something along the lines of "i saw this movie when i was a kid and it scared the shit out of me." i happen to have this one on vhs from back in the day. It came out in 1985. weird ass canadian crap!! i have to include the synopsis this girl put on the message board. it describes the movie perfectly...
...The story follows a kid who gave some money to this whino the day before he was burned to death in a fire. The boy is curious and goes into the burnt house and is severely scared by a ghost and as a result of fright, his hair falls out. During the night the ghosts come and give him a recipe to grow more hair, it works...too well. The hair doesn't stop growing...(funny side note that we probably didn't get because were too young was that his little freind asks to borrow the solution for "down there!" and spends half the movie walking around with hair growing out of his pants.) So for some odd plot twist the kids art teacher kidnaps him and all his freinds and uses the boys hair to make magic paintbrushes that turn whatever you paint into reality. The boys freind who is also kidnaped, cons the man into painting the old burned house and going inside. The art teacher does , becomes scared and all his hair falls out. Then the boy goes into the house, confronts the ghosts and his hair stops growing, the cops come and save the kids from the art teacher. Really weird movie.
I wouldnt recommend seeing this movie shortly before bedtime. but might be fun with a pitcher of rum drinks and some friends. if any of you out there have seen either of these movies i would love to hear your options and feedback.

a book quiz...
Published Monday, May 09, 2005 by naptowngirl.
So Carrie did this book meme and i thought i'd do it too... post your answers below in my comments...
A childhood book you read that everyone else read...
Ramona Quimby (...age 8; ...and her mother; ...and her father; ...and beezus; ...the pest) the list goes on...
A childhood book that only you seem to remember...
Z for Zachariah. I just recently bought a new copy to read as an adult. It's a young adult book, does that count? i was 12 when i read it.
A book you've read that everyone has read...
There are lots... but i think The DaVinci Code and the Harry Potter series are probably the most popular. Most recently, i read The Nanny Diaries which seems to be circulating around the female population i know.
A book that only you seem to have read...
um... more recent Nicholas Sparks books like the Guardian, A Walk to Remember and The Rescue. Everyone has read the Notebook and Message in a Bottle. You all should pick up his more recent books, they're excellent.
A book that you've intended to read for years...
Lots of recent Grisham novels, Jane Eyre and this collection of essays about New York that i've had since college. One of my professors is published in it.
A Favourite Poet?.
Shel Silverstein and W.H. Auden. I know they're an unlikely pair. I think Silverstein is inspiring and fun and Auden is just beautiful. I first heard Song IX (Stop all the clocks), in Four Weddings and a Funeral, but when i started researching for my senior project, i used his work and found more beautiful works.
A book you couldn't put down...
Wicked by Gregory Maguire. I know, this is probably not so surprising. Oh well! What can i say? Maybe i'm just THAT predictable.
A book you never finished...
Washington Square by Henry James. This book was hard to get through. I'm not proud of the fact that i havent finished it (yet). But it was hard to get behind the heroine. I found her weak and spineless and felt it was hard to figure out what the point of rooting for her was. Somebody help me out. Maybe when i finish the chick lit fluff i'm reading now, i'll pick Washington Square up again and finish it.
The most pointless book you've read...
That's a tough one... I'd have to say Marianela. It was a spanish story i read in high school. completely depressing story about a disfigured girl who falls in love with this blind man. (he loves her too). In the end, he gets his site back and throws Nela to the curb. It was completely depressing and horrible.
A book that holds pride of place on your shelf...
My Chumash, i think every Yid should have one in the house.
OK. hope you all enjoyed that. now it's your turn!!

in these trying times of political uncertainty one must stop and wonder at a photograph such as this. just what exactly is happening here?
I think this picture brings new meaning to "political handlers." Does the president need some assistance here? on the steps of the white house? and we wonder why the world laughs at us.

matzah brei bob
Published Monday, May 02, 2005 by naptowngirl.
So last night was the end of pesach and you have no idea how happy i was to have a bowl of pasta. now on with the story...
A few weeks ago my friend Karen at work saw this little matzah man at Party City and bought him for me. On Friday we named him Matzah Brei Bob (does he look alittle like sponge bob squarepants?) and taped him up on my door. This morning I brought in the remainder of my box of matzah for the office to partake in "ethnic cuisine" haha! Karen comes strolling up to my doorway with a piece of matzah in her hand and tapes it up on my door so that Matzah Brei Bob is now holding a piece of Matzah. This just gets me... so i had to take a picture of it and share. The saddest thing about this is that that matzah will never go bad.
see you next year Matzah Brei Bob!
