I like movie music (and I'm from Texas), so screw you

I will admit it: I like movie music. I like soundtrack music. I like it so much that I downloaded every piece of Star Wars music there is (except from Shadows of the Empire and the Holiday Special) onto my iPod.

Yes, from all six movies. Every piece. And I listen to them all.

And yes, I have gotten laid sometime since Bill Clinton was in office. But I digress.

I have always liked good soundtrack music. Star Wars, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Rocky, even a little Top Gun (NO, "Playing with the Boys" IS NOT SOUNDTRACK MUSIC AND DOES NOT COUNT). So allows your mind to drift someplace else when you're working on redundant, cumbersome tasks. Even when your pug insists on sleeping on your arm (as he is right now).

It's the right mix of attention-keeping and relaxing, as opposed to the general monotony of something like Brahms or the more pulse-pounding stuff like Metallica. So I like it. And I'm a bit of a geek (though I'm pretty sure I'd be able to duel you if you accused me as such).

So, when Sirius and XM combined, I was excited--until I found out that they'd taken Cinemagic, the movie music station off the playlist. I was very, very upset. My wife, rejoicing, nixed any idea of its return, saying, "You're the only person in America who listens to that shit."

Apparently there must be one other person, because I checked today online and it's back! Rejoice! So, as I sit here typing this, I'm listening to the score from The Fugitive...wait, it just ended. Now it's Indiana Jones! WOOHOO!

I am pumped. I am productive. I am a geek. And I will still duel you if you try to call me one.

If I had the time, I'd listen to it too, my brother from another mother. The first two CD I ever bought were soundtracks- Jurassic Park and Wayne's World.
