Not a lot of news, really. My stuff was moved from residence to my "new" house. I'm here at home with my parents until next Tuesday, doing very little of anything at all.

Sadly, the movie buff that I am..I haven't even seen 1/4 of those movies.

Perhaps AFI should make a list of the 100 worst movies, I'd probably have watched more of them ;)
