For those keeping track (all 0 of you), I managed to finally get back to writing the novel today after 2 weeks of day job hell. Not as deep in day job hell as [livejournal.com profile] pbray at the moment, but it was pretty bad. I think I've settled into the new routine and hope to continue the writing at a steady pace again from now on.

But anyway! What about the geekdom?!?! Well . . . in a fit of uncontrolled geekiness, I ordered a bunch of DVDs during a sale. Some of these I've owned before, but lost in the flood of 2006 (and the subsequent theft of most of what survived). Some I saw and just went "OMG, I remember that! It rocked! I must have that!" so here is my list, with an occasional comment. I expect certain people to re-evaluate how geeky they consider me based on this list:

"Labyrinth"--OMG! I love the logic puzzle with the two doors. And it's mazes!!
"The Dark Crystal"--Jim Henson and fantasy. Nuff said.
"Men in Black"--Just SF fun, what can I say.
"Willow"--I realize that some of your opinion of me may drop on this one, but it was STILL fun and I have to have it.
"Time Bandits"--I don't know what to say. The end is weird, but the story . . .
"The Ice Pirates"--I cannot tell you how much I laughed at this campy movie. OMG. I haven't seen this in ages and can't wait for it to arrive.
"The Beastmaster"--Also campy, and not necessarily in the funny way (not intentionally funny) but there are scenes of this that I STILL remember, so had to get it. Also, there are ferrets.
"Close Encounters of the Third Kind"--I need say nothing about this, I hope.

The only other movie that I'd like to get but can't seem to find is "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen", which I also laughed hard enough to hurt myself on while watching. I'm sure there are other movies out there I'm missing (and there's a bunch that I already own, like "Dragonslayer" and such). But I think this is plenty of evidence of my geekiness for everyone.

Discuss.

My compliments on the entire list. I found Baron Munchausen boring but the rest are spot on.

I love the part in Baron Munchausen where the man who can run fast trips. I would buy the movie just for that scene alone. *grin*
