I have a confession to make: I saw a chick flick tonight and liked it. I feel so dirty.
The film: Julie and Julia.
It's about a blogger and a chef. Who never meet. It's pretty much a good movie (Julia) and a decent movie (Julie) smashed together. Julie Powell had two things I don't have: a set objective and a deadline. I can't even imagine what my objective would be as a Nerd Girl: read every Star Wars book? Watch every episode of every Star Trek? Not interactive enough.
Blogging is about passion. It's about having a vision, much clearer than the one I don't have. All I have are a few key facts. I'm a female nerd. There aren't many of us, but we're vocal. I read XKCD and laugh. I go to midnight showings of the appropriate movies. Every summer, I reread the entire Harry Potter series (at the cost of reading more books, usually.) For the next year, I am going to write about something at least three times a week. The news, the movies. Something. Anything.
Starting tomorrow.

HBP Clusterpost Part 1: Trailer Park
Part One of the four part extravaganza Harry Potter post! The review of the Trailers!
SHORTS: this is the movie your eight-year old brother wants to see. everyone else in your family wonders if they can sneak to another theater.
WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE: Jury's out on this one. I know Kevin Smith is crying tears of joy over it, but this could be really lame. The trailer is Max running a lot. Like a whole lot. I wonder if anything else happens. Or maybe this kid just runs a lot.
SHERLOCK HOLMES: DO WANT. I like RDJ, Law is great, I just want to be watching it right now.
DESPICABLE ME: Computer animated flick starring Steve Carell as a villain who steals the Great Pyramid. Interesting little vignette teaser. I don't know if I got it.
2012: Another disaster movie. Who cares?
FAME: Looks very generic, but had a really clever Harry Potter lead-in
NEW MOON: Ugh. I hate Twilight. At least the werewolves look better than the Harry Potter ones.
9: looks pretty great. Elijah Wood is a great adorable hero voice. Looks like a logical followup for kids who liked Nightmare and Coraline.
