so, there i was in the shower this morning and the theme song from St. Elmo's Fire came on. 1st off lemme say i love that song. it's right up there with "Don't You Forget About Me" from the Breakfast Club and "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" from Mannequin in terms of best movie songs ever. anyhoo, it got me thinking (at 5:40am when i'm painfully susceptible to tangential thoughts) what a stupid title St. Elmo's Fire is. then i got to thinking if they ever explain what the title has to do with the movie or what St. Elmo's fire actually is. it's been years since i'd seen the movie, so i couldn't quite remember if they did or not (all i remember is Demi Moore and some middle eastern oil barons, and Mare Wittingham wearing a girdle or something), so when i got to work i promptly Googled for a picture of St. Elmo's Fire and this is what i found:
that explains everything, doesn't it? have a great weekend!

The Breakfast Club and The Mannequin are two of my favorite movies of all time.
Gosh...I used to go to Macy*s when I was a kid and I really wanted those things to come alive. But they never did :(
I should have known I was a little Lezzie.
Man in Motion is my Karaoke song. Just for the bit where you get to stand on a chair, thump your chest and go... "just once in his life, a man has his time, and my time is now - I'm coming alive!"
Ahhh.
