so this blog was nominated for a liebster award


 
my friend Cassie Carnage nominated me for the liebster award, and according to that i have to answer 11 questions and nominate 11 blogs for the award.




so ive heard this before but i don't see anything special with the number eleven but seven sounds more mysterious to me

Now here's the obligatory answer and question round, and my list of nominations for the passing of the Liebster Award torch:


The Rules:
There’s no obligation to participate.

The bloggers who have been nominated must link back to the person that nominated them.


Nominees must answer the eleven questions given to them by the person who nominated them.


Those nominated must choose eleven of their favorite bloggers who have less than 200 followers to answer their own set of questions.
The Questions:
1. What angers you the most when watching a movie in theaters?
This ones rather easy when people bring toddlers to films and they start crying throughout the movie, after a while it can become quite annoying.

2. What do you love about watching movies in theaters?
Seeing and anticipated film and enjoying it throughout specially with a crowd that's not noisy and enjoys the movie for what it is, and discovering a new favorite film. 
3. Name a movie you never want to watch. Ever.
i have had my fair shares of bad films, but one i would never want to see would be Freddy got fingered that has to be the epitome of comedy suicide.

4. Name a movie you're ashamed you haven't seen yet.
Logans Run, all my life ive been a scifi fan and there's a lot of classic movies from this genre i haven't seen, the one mentioned being one of them. 
5. Favorite weekend hangout?
to be honest i don't go out in the weekends and when i usually do , i go to a movie with my sister so that would be it. 
6. Favorite band or music artist for the past week?
been listening to imelda mays past album mayhem in anticipation for her new one, and a lot of ska specifically mad caddies and Mustard plug..





7. 3D. Yay or Nay?
i think the problem isnt yay or nay but the overuse in 3d specially in movies that dont need it, which has become a problem recently with a lot of films.
post-conversion 3d looks awful case in point clash of the titants a movie that didnt need it and was tapped on it just because.

8. Name a movie you wish you could have been on the set while it was filming.
Thats and easy one High fidelity mainly because it would have been fun listening to music inside the record store and interacting with the cast.
after that one star wars to know how they made the costumes for the aliens and the props, etc
  9. How do you stream movies (Computer, Blu-ray Player, Game Consoles like PS4 and Wii)?
Computer
10. What are your top five favorite movie podcasts to listen to?
well i used to listen to two but now they're gone they were everything made by the people at spill.com and yeah its that bad.

well nowadays i sometimes listen to digital noise and oneofus.net and the movie reviews of korey coleman and martin in his soundcloud page  . 

11. Who is your movie celebrity crush? You have to answer for both guys and girls.

Guy crush: Chris Hemsworth (Thor). His performance as Thor made the Character cool and kind of a badass and his performance on rush was excellent.

Girl crush: Alison Brie, she hasn't made a lot of films but i liked her performances in the boys of summer and the five year engagement and has been doing a great job as annie in the tv show community.

My nominations for the award would be

Memories from my trip to Peru

so recently i was in Peru for two weeks with my family, we went to Lima and a small town called ica that's like a few hours away from the first part i mentioned.













so the first day in Lima was pretty much exploring the places near where we were staying, among them a mall that was kind of underground which was strange but different.

a place called pachacamac thats a few hours away from lima where various pyramids made out of sand are still intact from ancient civilizations that lived there a long time ago.












we also went to downtown lima where there were a lot of places that sold traditional arts and crafts from the country that had figures like llamas and something called cholitas which are locals that knit clothing as they walk, they can be seen in machu pichu and other locations around the country.

after visiting another mall that seems to be the largest mall in the city , and tasting some local drinks mainly chicha morada and inca kola we traveled to ica thats like two hours by car from lima.

its known mainly for its vineyards and the route of the pisco which is traditional alcoholic beverage made there, there are various places where its made where you can see how the process done to make a bottle of pisco is and also taste different variations of this traditional alcoholic drink.

there was also a festival called the vendimia that celebrated grapes and wine, that was being held at the time we were there among the events held was a beauty pageant,  and concerts with local bands and international artists.

Near ica there's also and oasis which contains the lake of la huacachina where people from all over the world go to do extreme sports, and to anyone interested a few hours from ica there's Nazca where the famous lines of Nazca where made.
