Do you guys include any reference books you might read? I'm currently reading Nordic Runes by Paul Rhys Mountfort and can't decide whether or not to include that in my list.

If you read it cover-to-cover like any other book, I don't see why you shouldn't include it. The only reference book I'm reading right now is an almanac and I only skim through it for what I need to know, so I wouldn't include that. But if I was reading through my copy of The Witch Book: The Encyclopedia of Witchcraft, Wicca and Neo-Paganism, I would probably include that.

Every year I forget to start keeping tack until the end of January...so the first few movies I watched this year don't have a date attached. Just early January. Also, as every year, I'm only counting movies I haven't seen before...because otherwise this would climb pretty high. Ratings out of five stars.

1. Moneyball (?/1/2012) ****
2. Pitch Black (?/1/2012) **
3. Sling Blade (?/1/2012) *****
4. Prince of Persia (?/1/2012) ***

5. Toy Story 2 (29/1/2012) ***
6. Mission Impossible (29/1/2012) ***
7. I Am Number Four (30/1/2012) **

So I came back earlier today to post, but was immediately confused by the Inception theme. What was up with that? But after consulting the bottom of a bottle of Malibu I figured out if I just changed the theme, I might be able to post. Yaaaay.

All you motherfuckers are gonna pay. You are the ones who are the ball-licking geeks. We're gonna fuck your mothers while you watch them through your geeky glasses and cry like little batty bitches. Once we get your geek mothers impregnated with some real DNA, we're gonna put down all you nerdy asswipes... By making you pimple infested nerds eat our shit, then shit out our shit, then eat their shit which is made up of our shit that we made you  eat.

Then you're all you motherfucks are next. Love The Clit Master....
