Most of these wouldn't be considered "art." They don't necessarily have some huge message. But they make me laugh. And sometimes that's all that matters. Most of these also fall into the "movies-I've-seen-so-many-times-I-can-recite-the-dialogue" category.
1. So I Married an Axe Murderer
2. Better off Dead
3. The 'Burbs
4. Pretty in Pink
5. Back to the Future
6. Grease
7. Breakfast at Tiffany's
8. Moonstruck
9. When Harry Met Sally
10. Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure
11. Beetlejuice

The Thursday 13: Mental Vacation
I'm trying to be a good little worker bee, really I am. But I am feeling a bit restless and in need of a day off. So I thought for today's Thursday 13, I'd let myself think about all the places I wish I was, in the hopes of temporarily getting it out of my system. Then maybe I can get back to work. Maybe.
Physically I am at the computer, but mentally I am here:
1. At the State Fair.
2. At the Million Dollar Museum in White's City, N.M. (They had mummies and a really cool fortune-teller machine.)
3. Anywhere my dogs are welcome. : )
4. At any one of the, like 50, concerts I've missed lately.
5. At Starwind, which used to be my favorite store but no longer exists.
6. Anywhere that requires at least an hour's drive.
7. Roller skating.
8. At an arcade.
9. At a midnight showing of "The Rocky Horror Picture Show."
10. At the library.
11. At a poetry reading.
12. At a thrift store, antique shop or garage sale.
13. Somewhere where there's no Internet or cell phone.

The Thursday Thirteen - Why I Like Being a Freelance Journalist
Sure, I'll play. I've seen this meme on other blogs, and thought it looked like fun. Every Thursday you make a list of 13 things on the same subject. And away we go!
Thirteen reasons I like being a freelance journalist:
1. I get paid to learn about everything from art to historic preservation.
2. I meet people I would never meet otherwise.
3. Sometimes, these people become friends.
4. Since I work from home, my "coworkers" are my dogs and cats.
5. Every day is different.
6. I can ask all the questions I want without being considered "nosy."
7. Plus, people don't notice that I rarely talk about myself. Ha! Aren't I sly?
8. I help people tell their stories.
9. I can spend all day at a museum and call it "research."
10. I've written about so many subjects, I can make small talk on almost any topic.
11. This makes me seem A LOT smarter I am. ; )
12. I can do my work at midnight if I'm so inclined -- and I frequently am.
13. Sometimes I get free stuff!
