happy december.

things are slow so far up at work, so i figured i'd do some namedropping to convey what kinds of geeky shit i'm into everyday. expect this to be quite random.

right now i'm listening to the fight club soundtrack, if i had to list my top 5 movie soundtracks (that i can think of at this second), they'd be --

Fight Club [IMDb] (1999)
Magnolia [IMDb] (1999)
Requiem for a Dream [IMDb] (2000)
Ocean's Eleven [IMDb] (2001)
High Fidelity [IMDb] (2000)

i haven't really heard much buzz about last.fm, but i link to my last.fm page on the left of this page. i actually think it's a fantastic idea. there's a great description of how it works on wikipedia. i just like the idea of sharing with the world your own personal music tastes.

you might notice that i link to wikipedia a lot. i've actually grown to kinda rely on it at this point. the idea of an encyclopedia that anyone can edit (within reason) is pretty cool, and it's probably the best site you can get lost in for 2 hours without realizing it. if you ever need to kill any amount of time, check out the wikipedia unusual articles listing, always something entertaining there. if you require more instant entertainment, check out fark or waxy.

that should hold you over for now.
