The Downside of Being a Geek

I've discovered a problem with being a married geek with a full-time job. I never have time to go to the movies. When I'm not working, I'm either spending time with my wife, or doing other geeky stuff that I have less time for now. When else am I supposed to build my Magic: The Gathering decks? When do I spend 3 hours looking up astrophysics and gardening on Wikipedia?

In any case, here's the list of movies I haven't taken the time to see, just because I don't seem to have the time. Enjoy; and if any of these are horrible, let me know and I'll yank them from my list. (I did get to see Transformers this week -- Great movie)

TMNT
Fantastic Four (both of them)
Schindler's List (what, this doesn't fit the theme?)
Blade Runner again (Didn't quite understand it the first time
28 Weeks Later (I saw 28 Days Later, and honestly disliked it, but I did like the premise, so I may as well see the sequel)
Spiderman 3
Superman Returns
Idiocracy
The Island
Doom
Man With the Screaming Brain

I'll come up with more later... this is just the last 2-3 years, from Wikipedia's list.

i never have time for movies anymore either. i managed to go see the new harry potter because that was of high priority, but that's about it. i'd meant to rent a bunch for blogathon entertainment, but i never got to the video place.

anyway, hi, i'm katie and i'm your monitor for this year's 'thon, so i'll be around off and on to check in and say hi.
