A meme, gacked from just about everybody.

Pick an interest from my interests page that either 1) you know nothing about but sounds intriguing, or 2) you know something about but can't fathom why yours truly would be interested in it, and request an explanation.

Edit: feel free to choose more than one. I'll happily explain any and all.

Willow is one of my all-time favorite 80s fantasy movies, and has been since I was very small. It's chock-full of great lines and memorable characters. In one scene, the High Aldwin (the village wise man and wizard) declares that he'll consult the bones to tell him what to do. After examining the bones closely, with interested "hmmmm" sounds, he calls over the main character, Willow, and whispers "the bones tell me nothing!" He asks Willow's opinion - and then announces, loudly "The bones have spoken!"

Maybe you had to be there. But it's this really great silly movie moment that my family's been quoting for years, a sort of phrase for when someone acts really pretentious and smart for no good reason. Also, I can't show my appreciation for Willow by simply writing "Willow" - because people always assume it's a Buffy reference.

I have to say, I highly recommend Willow.
