Since last week was my birthday, I decided to treat myself to a small vacation, and took Wednesday through Friday off to enjoy some leisure time. A mental health holiday, as it were. It I had quite a good time doing it, too.

So, its time once again for the monthly movie night. Once a month, kitanzi and I toss open our doors and invite you all in to watch a movie, chat, hang out, snack on fresh baked goods, and generally have a good time.
What have you missed by not coming? Here’s an incomplete list of previous screenings:
Hot Fuzz
Shaun of the Dead
Kinsey
Copenhagen
Harold and Maude
Once
Juno
In almost all cases, the films were something that most of the attendees had not seen. We do tend a bit towards quirky films that one might not gotten around to seeing otherwise. (The entire point of this monthly party was to actually get through some of the DVDs we’d been piling up after all.)
This month, in the spirit of the July 4th holiday, we’re screening the wonderful musical 1776. So if you’re free on Wednesday, July 2, drop by our place after 7, and we’ll have food, entertainment, and good company for you. If you need directions, just drop me an email or leave a comment.
Hope to see you there!
Entertainment Weekly put this together as a list of the 100 best films of the last 25 years. As expected, what was included and what wasn’t both strike me as somewhat questionable. Still, I love movies, so I’ll go through the exercise. You’re supposed to bold the ones you’ve seen, underline the ones you’ve started but didn’t finish. I’ll put an asterisk next to the ones I own.

Hysterical video that I picked up from jeriendhal.
If you read this, if your eyes are passing over this right now, even if we don’t speak often, please post a comment with a memory of you and me. It can be anything you want — good or bad. When you’re finished, post this little paragraph on your blog and be surprised (or mortified) about what people remember about you.
This weekend, two of my WoW guildmates, Silverfoot and Aeshna, got married. They’re a lovely couple, and I wish them all the best
Anyway, also at the wedding were some other TGC members, and one of them had a video capture device, which is a good thing, because otherwise, we’d have only heard about, and not seen, this.

I’m gasping for breath. That was *astounding*. Way to go, guys. May your ever day together be full of magic.
It’s been a pretty social week out this way, which has been a lot of fun, on the whole.
Seen in many, but taken from the adorable vixyish
1 – Go to Wikipedia’s “random article” link. The first random article you get is the name of your band.
2 – Go to Random quotations. The last four words of the very last quote of the page is the title of your first album.
3 – Go to flickr’s “explore the last seven days“. Third picture, no matter what it is, will be your album cover. (I cropped mine to be proper album dimensions.)
I’m actually rather pleased by this one:
