Of Tetris and Movies
I have recently been reintroduced to Tetris and consequently become readdicted to it. You may now take some time to add that to the list of things I do instead of updating this blog. During this iteration of my crippling Tetris addiction I find myself breaking new ground. Rather than sitting in a dark corner, gameboy clutched in hand, pushing at buttons like a madman, and hissing at all who come near in my solitary pursuit of tetromino organization, I have actually been playing Tetris with other people. Thanks to the magic of the internet I can actually play Tetris against or even with people. I still sit in a dark corner hissing at anybody who gets too close, but now I feel like I am communicating with somebody as I slowly alienate everybody I know.
Another recent occurrence: my keyboard has become rather unresponsive. Perhaps these events are related?
I have, of late, been trying to organize a movie night of sorts, specializing in movies of a lesser known variety. One might call it an Obscure Movie Night. My main trouble in organizing such a thing, aside from getting anybody to show up (a minor problem) is deciding on some method to measure obscurity. Without some universal measure of mainstreamness, it only becomes a matter of time before somebody brings in The Shawshank Redemption, believing it to be an indie film due to its distinct lack of explosions. My ultimate goal in this endeavour is to have a person with whom to discuss my favorite films with, none of them having been watched by a human being. I could just recommend movies, but where would the fun be in that?
