UNO

The classic card game. I've played this game for years. I can't really remember the first time I played it, but I've always enjoyed playing the game. It's a lot of fun playing with a group of people, however, you can play with just one other person. There are some different rules for a 2-player game. I actually own three different versions of the game and they all have a special card with special rules. That adds a new aspect to the game. I also own a version for my iPhone. Every version is fun to play. 

Breakfast Cereals

Cereal is my favorite thing to eat for breakfast. I've been eating cereal since childhood. As a child the cereals I ate were mostly sweet cereals. These included Capn crunch, corn pops, sugar smacks, frosted flakes, frosted cheerios, crispy critters, alpha bits (with and without marshmallows), froot loops, etc. I also had cereals that weren't sugary like kix, corn flakes, cheerios, and rice krispies. Now a days, I still eat the cereals that are not sugary and sweet (rice krispies mostly), and sometimes for breakfast I eat toast. I am currently eating rice krispies. This has become one of my favorite cereals to eat. I still like to eat a sweet cereal once in a while and it is usually corn pops. Cereal and milk for breakfast - a piece of my childhood.

Star Wars

The first time I saw a star wars movie, I think I was in the Jr. High or in the beginning of high school. That is when my family purchased the VHS tapes in the photo. The tapes are of the original trilogy without any of the changes made later, like all the added CGI and stuff. I have seen all the films. I saw "The Phantom Menace" and "Revenge of the Sith" in theaters, and the rest of them the first time I saw them was at home. My favorite movies are the three in the "original trilogy". I thought the "prequel trilogy" was ok  but not as good as the originals. As a result, I have seen the "original trilogy" many more times than the prequel one. My favorite character in the series is "Yoda". He's just a cool character. 

Word Search Puzzles

I like doing word search puzzles. I have always enjoyed doing the puzzles even as a kid. I actually have a big book of word search puzzles that I like to do once in a while. I even have a few word search puzzle games on my iphone. This is one of the things I like to do in my free time. Word search puzzles have always been the only word puzzle game that I like. I don't like crossword puzzles or sudoku,or whatever. Just word search puzzles. Doing word search puzzles helps me to relax and I think the puzzles are fun.

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

One book, two movies. I actually saw the movies before I read the book. My first experience with this story was seeing the movie "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory" starring Gene Wilder from 1971 when it aired on TV in the 1990s. After that I watched it every time I ran upon it while watching TV. Next I saw "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" starring Johnny Depp when it opened in theaters in 2005. I liked the film and decided that I should read the book. I really enjoyed and after reading it, discovered that the 2005 movie was more faithful to the book, however, I still like the 1971 movie better because I liked the music in that movie. You can't beat "oompa loompa doopa dee doo".

Mint Mentos

I like eating mentos, specifically the mint flavor. Even as a child this was my favorite flavor. This is probably because I like eating mint candy/breath mints (not gum, I don't chew gum). My favorite flavor of mint candy would be peppermint. I don't like spearmint or wintergreen flavored mint candies, or the kind of mint that is not minty enough and is just sweet. I also enjoy eating the peppermint hard candy with the red stripes on it and, of course, mint candy canes.

Movies I like to watch, oops.

This blog will be about my interests including books I like to read, movies I to watch, etc.
