Movie Marathon 2008

It's surprising that I haven't written about this at all, seeing as it starts in about 30 hours. It's mostly because I wrote this to death last year, but also because I've been very busy since we got back. This year is going to be a bigger, louder, more viscous affair. We have a projector (thanks, Work!), surround sound (thanks, Joe!), and twelve fairly kick ass movies. The schedule goes:

9:00am - Bloodsport
10:32am - Raising Arizona
12:50pm - Casablanca
2:47pm - Holes
4:57pm - Grey Gardens
7:52pm - The Warriors
9:25pm - Cube
11:10am - Hard Candy
1:09am - Suspiria
4:02am - Sunshine
6:00am - Footloose
7:58am - Hedwig and the Angry Inch

(And yes, your definition and my definition of "kick ass" might differ slightly.)

There'll be no webcam this year, and no Messenger action, but I'll be Twittering up a storm though, and Jorge will be live-blogging it. And we'll offer up the same A.V. fandango as last year, too.

Wish us luck. See you Saturday.

Is there a particular reason that the majority of these movies have one word titles? You know what else has a one word title?

Crimetime.

I'm just saying.

Jorge has been hasslin' me to come, but due to my co-manager breaking a limb and not being able to work, I'm all by my lonesome tomorrow. So, many apologies for not making it AGAIN this year.

Grey Gardens? Cool. Hardy Candy? Someone must record the male reaction to various parts of this awesome flick. Footloose? Man, I totally regret not being able to go!

I should add...

... that two people were instrumental in my joining Twitter. First, Isha . She sent out an article on it when the application was still brand new. (And I remember thinking, "Screw that noise. Like I need more online commitments.) Second was Rebecca . She joined up just a short while ago, claiming she hadn't met a bandwidth she didn't like . (And then she disappeared entirely from the internets .) It looked nice and pretty over there on her sidebar, and then I got a little jealous. The rest: history. And for those unobservant among you ( Jorge ), the Twitter feed is right there on my sidebar, replacing the old Radio 3 player that I loved, but that I think scared the bejezus out of a lot of people. Also, everyone should join Twitter. I'm needing some diversions , people.

Change Two: Drink More Water Such a simple thing, yet something I just can't seem to find the time to do. About the only water I drink in your average day is whatever sweat happens to trickle off my mustache. Hydration (so the smart people tell me) is a good thing. I'm less fatigued when I drink water. I'm less hungry when I drink water. I'm even less grumpy when I drink water. I promise you nothing especially impressive. Eight glass a day ain't gonna happen. I'm shooting for two on average; two trendy, metallic, not gonna bleed Bisphenol A into my system bottles of water. I know were off to a rip-roaring start, what with the list-making and the hydration, but I'll try to get crazier with future changes. Stuff like: go to work drunk more, and buy a pair of leather pants. For now, let me ease into it.
