AceCaseOR's Journal: My first Entry

Alright, hello, my name is Alex, and I'm a geek (Hi, Alex).

I might as well tell you a little about my self. I'm a high school student in Oregon, I'm a fan of SF (I prefer to call it in text instead of Sci-Fi), I watch anime, I listen to classic rock, and I'm a fan of wrestling. I also don't think Bill Gates is the antichrist, don't like KoRn, and don't have a connection faster than 56K.

I had heard about Slashdot, but what really encouraged me to venture forth hereis Jon Katz's book "Geeks", which I feel is an excellent book, and anyone who says otherwise is entitled to their opinion.

I'll let you know in advance, I'm not good at really organizing myself, so my updates will be really infrequent.

I figure I'll start out my journal with a movie review. I recently saw the movie "UHF" again. It is a hilariously funny movie starring "Weird" Al Yankoivc, and Michael Richards (more commonly known from his role on "Seinfield"). Al plays George Newman, a fellow geek who gets made station manager of a UHF station by his Uncle. The station was on the verge of bankruptcy for years, but George makes it the biggest station in town with oddball and bizarre programming.

This film is a good family movie (aside from one scene), and I reccomend it to anyone who finds "Weird" Al's music funny, and is enjoy's rather odd comedy. The film is out now on DVD (I got it at my local Fry's for $9.50), and is rated PG-13.
