Movies, Movies Everywhere

Pam from Beancounters says that really, I need to put a picture up to document my claim of 400 dvds. In response I sent her the results of a handcount (supplemented by a guess of what's on the bottom shelf behind the box of vcr tapes that are being packed up for storage). Since I don't have a speedy way to take and post pics I'm going to do a wee bit more documentation to hold me over until I get the pics working. You can't tell WE'RE bureaucrats, now can you?

Wee bit of documentation? The titles from the first shelf:

13th Warrior, The A-Team Season One, The A-Team Season Two, The Best of Bud Abbott and Lou Costello Volumes 1 through 3, The Musters (Papa John's promo dvd), The Abyss (Special Addition), Ace Ventura Pet Detective, Africa Screams, Air Force One, Airplane!, Alice in Wonderland, Aliens, Aladdin, America's Sweethearts, Antitrust, Apocolypse Now, Apollo 13, The AristoCats, Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Austin Powers, Austin Powers in Goldmember, Babylon5: The Complete First Season, Back to the Future: The Complete Trilogy, Bad Company, Battlestar Galactica (the original movie), Battlestar Galactica: The Complete Epic Series, The BeastMaster, A Beautiful Mind, Beauty and the Beast, Bedazzled, Bellydance: Fitness for Beginners, Beverly Hills Cop, Beverly Hills Cop II, Bicentennial Man, Big Trouble in Little China, Lewis Black Unleashed, Black Beauty, Black Hawk Down, Black Hole, Blade, Blade II, Blazing Saddles, Blown Away, The Body, Bourne Identity

I Need Me Some Truthiness

I've been sitting on this info for about a month.

I got tickets to The Colbert Report!!!

January 17th, the same day that Titus Season 2 comes out. What a great day.

Unfortunately I requested three tickets and was only emailed about two. They ignored my follow-up email. So now we have to figure out if the third person will go up to New York with us and luck into stand-by tickets.

But.... I GOT TICKETS TO THE COLBERT REPORT!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've Been Memed

I've already done the Meme of Fours once, but when Pam tagged me she had a couple of questions on hers that weren't on the one I did before. And this also gives me a chance to make more comments.

Jobs: Want four more? I can probably do that in the mall alone. Bookstore sales for Waldenbooks, shoe sales for StrideRight, nuts and candy sales for Morrow's Nut House, and import crap sales for World Bazaar (where you got papasan chairs before Pier 1 and World Market existed). Every time I hear the BNL song Never is Enough I get a little nostalgic for "eating in a food court with the old and the bored..."

Movies I can watch over and over: Since I didn't point it out last time, I want to make this clear. Serenity, Serenity, Serenity, Serenity. I also liked Pam's choice of Dogma. That movie kicks &$@ and I love Kevin Smith (even though he has a potty mouth).

Places I've lived: Want four more? I just stuck with states last time to cover as much territory as possible. Let's look at some of my Mississippi towns of residence: Nicholson, Picayune, Hattiesburg, Diamondhead. Yes, it's like a Katrina hat trick and an extra point.

Shows I love to watch: Firefly (you can't take my show from me, I now have a dvd...), Titus (season 2 is out on dvd January 17th! and his stand-up will be on Comedy Central this weekend), Stargate SG-1 (yes, I have science fiction addiction, although I'm less enamored now that Stargate has become Fargate... bonus points if you get that joke), and Star Trek (the original series)

Places I've been on vacation: Greenbrier County West Virginia, Los Angeles, New York City, St. Augustine Florida

Websites I visit daily: mine, Google News, IMDB (pro version - what else would the girl with 400 dvds want?), dictionary.com

Favorite foods: yogurt, sushi, black bean burritos, and the mighty potato

Places I'd rather be: working for Mutant Enemy (grrr, argh!), at a cabin in the mountains working on my fiction, chillin' on a sailboat in the Caribbean mon, or anywhere my sweetie wants to be

Albums I can't live without: Just FOUR??? Oh, the humanity!! Nickel Creek's self-titled album, Brian Regan Live (yes, it's comedy, your point?), Shepherd Moons by Enya (Marble Halls was my wedding march - it was perfect for a sweet little medieval wedding), Nothing Like the Sun by Sting

Put That in Your iHole

You may have noticed that I'm a Joss Whedon fan. Via fireflyfans.net I found this article Joss wrote for TV Guide on what we have to look forward to on TV in 2006. Pretty much every part of the article put me on the floor, but my favorite line is:

Also, the constant slew of cable mergers will result in the creation of CinePax, a channel that's just very confused about its morals.

Go forth and read the Jossy goodness already!

Break!

I don't know about you, but I had a very satisfying winter break. Mostly I just stayed under the radar and rested. I didn't realize how much I needed that.

Happy New Year!
