Creative? Me? Er, If You Say So...
I recently got a Creative Blogger award from
Lynn, the nice lady who runs the
Violins and Starships site. Normally, I would be tempted to quibble but my parents taught me better than that so I will just hush up and say, "Thank you."
Apparently I'm now obliged to mention seven facts about me that I have not mentioned thus far and to pass the award on to seven bloggers that I do not normally link to. (I'd like to include
Lynn,
Jaquandor and
Samurai Frog on that list but I suspect that would be cheating since they all already have one.)
My seven facts:
1.The first film score I ever owned was John Barry's score for
Goldfinger.
2. The first movie I ever saw in a theatre was
101 Dalmations.
3. The first R-rated movie I remember seeing without my parents was 1976's
The Omen.
4. The first movie poster I ever bought was for 1976's
Carrie.
5. The first old movie I ever remember making deliberate plans to see on TV was 1955's
Tarantula.
6. The first DVD I ever owned was
The Terminator III: Rise of the Machines. (It was a present.)
7. The first TV set on which I ever watched anything was my parents' old black and white set in Detroit -- and that one also had a built-in record player.
As for the seven bloggers I choose to pass on the award to, I pick:
1.
The Flick Filosopher. One of the first web-critics I ever read and still one of the most innovative.
2.
Brilliant at Breakfast. Pioneer political blogger and web-critic who can wax philosophical like nobody's business. Every time I think I have her pegged, she surprises me.
3.
Self-Styled Siren. Creatrix of the best old movie blogs ever. If there is an old film she does not yet know about, the chances are it is not really worth knowing about.
4.
Thrilling Days of Yesteryear. Creator of one of the best old TV show blogs ever. Not to mention the distributor of more info about TCM and Facebook than you'd ever want to know.
5.
Shanna Swendson. My favorite published author/blogger. Not only a source of valuable writing advice and literary recommendations but a heck of a movie/TV critic to boot. And her insights on local Texas culture ain't bad either.
6.
Lylee's Blog. Another blogger who generally goes anywhere her imagination takes her. Blogs about movies, show tunes, music competitions, court decisions, you name it.
7.
Jon Swift. Possessor of a Sahara-dry wit and proof that twenty-first century political satire does not have to be stupid.
Of course, I suspect some of these bloggers might find this award to be redundant but, hey, it is always good to be noticed, right?
