86 Movies

So on the Alter Realms boards someone posted a list of 208 movies that they had gotten off a website. Apparently according to this website if you've seen over 100 of these films then you have no life. I thought it would be interesting to give it a try and as it turns out I've seen 86 of them. So officially I have a life... now all I need to do is figure out where it's hiding! Here's my results in case you're interested (the ones in bold are those I own on DVD).

Run With Us

For a while now a colleague at work has been trying to remember a song. The song in question is the theme tune to a classic 80's cartoon called The Raccoons. While I remember the cartoon fondly, I too was completely stumped when it came to remembering the actual theme tune. And although she has asked me several times to try and find it online, I have consistently forgotten to do so. Until today, when for some reason or other it just popped into my head to search for it. And I found it. Not only have I found the lyrics to this tune, but I found an mp3 of it for free download too (which I've grabbed). This is a really good song. Hope you like it too:

Run With Us by Lisa Lougheed

When darkness falls
Leaving shadows in the night
Don't be afraid
Wipe that fear from your eyes

The desperate love
Keeps on driving you wrong
Don't be afraid
You're not alone


You can run with us
We've got everything you need
Run with us
We are free

Co-co-co-come with us
I see passion in your eyes
Run with us


When the cold wind blows
Turn your collar to the cold
Don't be ashamed
If you need someone to hold

If you're sinking in quicksand (quicksand... quicksand...)
And its dragging you down
And you feel you're going under
We'll be around

You can run with us
We've got everything you need
Run with us
We are free

Co-co-co-come with us
I see passion in your eyes
Run with us


When you're behind closed doors
All alone by yourself
And you're longing inside
To be somebody else

You pick up the telephone
And theres no one on the line
Don't be afraid
Cos there's still time

You can run with us
We've got everything you need
Run with us
We are free

Co-co-co-come with us
I see passion in your eyes
Run with us

You can run with us
We've got everything you need
Run with us
We are free

Co-co-co-come with us
I see passion in your eyes
Run with us

I Belong to Ravenclaw

Which Hogwarts House Would You Be In?

The Sorting Hat would put you in Ravenclaw. You are wise, perceptive, and quietly brilliant. You may not always be noticed right away, but you are widely respected for your humor and brains.

10 Things Women Say

1. Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

2. Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only ever five minutes, if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

3. Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

4. Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don't Do It!

5. Loud Sigh: This is not actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to #3 for the meaning of nothing.)

6. That's Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a woman can make to a man. That's okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

7. Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say "You're welcome".

8. Whatever: Is a women's way of saying _____ YOU!

9. Don't worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking "What's wrong?" For the woman's response refer to #3.

10. You're right: Which usually means you know you're wrong, but I am tired of fighting with you and you are being an idiot and not getting it.

Philosophy and Women

I found these quotes online and thought they'd make for a good blog post.


“It is a law of nature that women should be held under the dominance of man.” ~ Confucius (ca. 500 BC)


"Your desire shall be for your husband, and he shall rule over you." ~ Genesis 3:16


"A proper wife should be as obedient as a slave." ~ Aristotle (384-322 BC)


"The male is by nature superior and the female inferior; one rules and the other is ruled."
~ Aristotle: The Politics, Book I


"Men's courage is shown in commanding and women's in obeying."
~ Aristotle: The Politics, Book I


"Fortune is like a woman; if you wish to master her, you must conquer her by force. Moreover, she is more willing to be conquered by forceful men of ability than by timid cowards." ~ Niccolo Machiavelli (1469-1527): The Prince


"Woman in her greatest perfection was made to serve and obey man, not rule and command him." ~ John Knox (1505-1572)


"The husband hath by law power and dominion over his wife, and may keep her by force, within the bounds of duty, and may beat her, but not in a violent or cruel manner." ~ Sir Francis Bacon (1561-1626): Maxims of the law


"Love well, whip well." ~ Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790): Poor Richard


"Nature intended women to be our slaves. . . They are our property, we are not theirs . . . They belong to us, just as a tree which bears fruit belongs to the gardener." ~ Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821)


"Woman is by nature meant to obey." ~ Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)


"You go to a woman? Do not forget your whip."
~ Friedrich Nietzsche (1844-1900): Thus Spoke Zarathustra, XVIII: Old and young women


"Woman is essentially a Phallus worshipper . . . permeated with a fear like that of a bird for a snake. . . It has never until now been made so clear where the bondage of women lies; it is in the sovereign, all too welcome power wielded over them by the Phallus." ~ Otto Weininger (1880-1903)


"Women, by nature, want to be dominated." ~ Jayne Mansfield (1933-1967)
