Add one more to the list of my web addictions...

This time my addiction is the movie ranking website known as FlickChart.

The premise is simple. After you register, the site will give you two movies. If you've seen them both, click on the one you like better. If you've seen one but not the other, click the "haven't seen it" button under the one you haven't seen until you get two movies you have seen. If you've seen neither, click the "Haven't seen either" button.

Once you start ranking movies you've seen, they will start to form a dynamically changing ordered list of your favorite movies. At first, some movies might be a lot higher than you expected, but with time, and use of the right filters, these movies will find it to where they belong.

Right now the friends features aren't too robust, but they plan to add a lot more to it, like where you can see a composite ranking of the Top Films of All-Time just based on the rankings of your friends. That is something I'm really interested in, and so I'm hoping to get as many of my friends and family into this as possible.

Doing this has made me realize there are some movies that I like a lot more than I realized I did. And movies that I didn't realize I liked so much better than everyone else. On Flickchart, Driven was one of the 40 worst movies of all-time. However, I rate it at #45 on my list. I really, really liked it. But those things happen here and there. Still, it makes for good debate. If you do join (and please do), let me know your username so I can add you as my friend.

I'm not obsessed... but I am getting a little irritated.

So, it's been over a week since I've actually been able to get on Facebook. Supposedly there is "site" maintenance on one of their servers that some user accounts are on, mine obviously included. I've heard rumors that that server may have crashed and that they may have lost a lot of account data and whatnot. They're keeping it pretty quiet, and it's really bugging me. I'm not one of those obsessed people who can't live without it; I've obviously gone 8 days now without the darned thing. But I now feel like I don't know what people are up to.

This is gonna seem weird, especially coming from someone who detests smoking like I do. However, one of the greatest smells in the world has to be the smell of a pipe being smoked. In an even crazier notion, they should make a pipe smoke smelling air freshener.

This one left me a bit speechless this week -- a little dog came running up to me, barking and growling at me as I was delivering mail. When I get up to the house where he belongs his owner comes out and says. "Don't worry about him; he wouldn't hurt a flea!" Say what??? What is this dog's problem? All I care is that he won't be nipping at my heels, as one usually gets rough looks when he attempts to punt a canine across a yard. But how weak and unmotivated can a dog be to not even combat his own flea problem? At least my dog scratches at them whe she gets fleas.

Columbus Day is tomorrow, so no work for me! Nothing better than celebrating a holiday for a person who really didn't do anything! So he sailed 3 ships; big whoop. You can't exactly discover something that people are already inhabiting. Heck, he thought he was in the East Indies, hence why he called the natives "Indians". Regardless, I'll take a paid day off work any time they'll let me.
