For the first time in quite a while, it snowed here in Raleigh. Its not something that happens too frequently, so when it does, it’s a big deal. I went out this morning and took some pictures. Here they are for your visual stimulation.
On January 13, 2008 I saw my 1000th movie, The Brothers Solomon. Today, January 13th, 2009, I saw my 1130th movie, Friday the 13th Part VI: Jason Lives. If you do that math, that’s 130 unique movies seen in the last 366 days (2008 was a leap year); a new movie every 2.8 days. Admittedly, I tend to accumulate things in a more marathon fashion rather than a regular viewing schedule. It’s not uncommon for me to get three or four movies at once from Blockbuster and watch them the same day, or go to see all 14 movies in the theater in six days.
You may be saying to yourself, “That’s incredibly sad. Don’t you have anything better to do with your time?” We can’t all have noble and philanthropic baby-seal-saving and homeless-shelter-building hobbies like you. My only regret is that movie watching is an incredibly passive hobby to have. Maybe in the future I’ll start offsetting my time spent movie watching with beach volleyball or croquet.
