I just posted a comment on Wheaton's blog about a silly, perverse and seriously wrong Hugh Grant poster. I'm sure it was not authorized. Anyway... that post leads to this admission of Geekdom...
I have a notebook with every movie I own in it. Yes... I have a list of movies. They are not alphabetically organized within a dewey decimal for movies system. But they are organized in such a way as to make me into a huge geek... beyond the pale.
First by genre: British/BBC, sci-fi, classic lit, 80's pop, tv by genre; action, mystery, sitcom, cartoons/kids programs. Within each genre, movies are further organized by actors.
I put them into a notebook so that I could keep track of what I have to make shopping easier... no dupes. Once I get hooked on an actor then I tend to find everything that they have done that is still in print.
I could be so obsessive as to put it all alphabetically like Meg Ryan in when Harry met Sally. But I watch tv by season and mood. Sadly, I even cross referenced seasonal episodes and movies by holidays to make it easy to overdose on Halloween and Christmas: VanHelsing, the Bride and several unsuccessful costume party episodes of Frasier for Halloween. For Christmas, Patrick Stewart's Christmas Carol, White Christmas, Holiday Inn, severeal botched family gatherings at 1901 Elliot Bay Towers (Frasier), the epsidoe where MacGyver makes eggnog in chemistry set before he and his Grampa Harry take off for a hockey game only to be stalked in the Phoenix building, the episode where Holmes and Watson chase down a Christmas Goose to retrieve the Blue Carbuncle... you know all the classics.
I am so a geek...
