Everybody has that one pair of socks that always fall down or that undershirt that has shrunk from ten thousand washes. Well today, because I’m way behind on my sock/underwear laundry. I’m wearing the bottom of the drawers. Uncomfortable boxers, undershirt, socks, and somehow I think my jeans have shrunk too. Lengthwise (not the waist, wiseass)

It’s going to be a long day.

I cant shake it. That need to buy new DVDs and products from movies. Even as I’m packing up the first shipment of DVDs to send off the that great disc buyer in the sky (buybackmadness.com) I still want new ones! I read an article about Matt Groening and the new Futurama movie coming out soon and I thought “Wouldn’t it be great to have all those movies sitting along with the series DVDs” That was my first thought, not “I hope this one is good” or “I can’t wait to see it” but “I want to have the whole set”

Is there some kind of pill that I can take that will make me slightly less OCD about this kind of thing. I still need to be a little bit obsessed in order to get all my projects done… but I just don’t want to keep collecting junk so that I can have the full set.

I’m not going to buy that dvd, mostly because I haven’t bought the others. But really because I have a plan for a cheaper, better, all-digital lifestyle.

Later!

IT’S LIKE DRIVING AN ICE CREAM TRUCK FULL OF BEES!

genius.

I’ll defend Idiocracy until the end of time, it’s so difficult to make a good satire and I think on repeat viewings the movie gets better and better. It’s weird that the movie came out (what seems like) 2 years ago and now the tie in products are hitting the internet. Could be a shrewd marketing move though. Also the only thing better than actually making funny products from movies is hiring guys from internet memes to write the commercials. The Powerthirst videos were the most awesome use of the internet evar.

“Kick em in the face with your POWER LEGS!”

This description of his dream is pretty funny and surprisingly similar to dreams I have had. But I never seem to get Celebrity guest stars in mine, I must not have the budget.

Stupid basic cable dreams.

the Sansa e260 that I’ve been using has recently bit the dust with a very inconvenient “blue ring of death” and my old Ipod had an unfortunate accident while snowboarding (more on that later) So I’m without any music on the Metro, which hasn’t been a problem. until today, when I met “loud obnoxious music guy” while stuck on the orange line for an hour and a half. After listening to other passengers confront him and hearing his douchy “It’s a free country” response I decided to try out the restrained “Mark-hulk” approach… and that slowly deteriorated into “im just going to stare a hole through your head until YOU punch me so I can literally throw you off the train” but alas… that didn’t happen. And I decided to take myself out of that situation and get on the next train. But it’s about time that I get my headphones back… for the saftey of the (douchbags) public.

I’m trying to restrain the 6’5″ sleep deprived Mark-Hulk, but it’s getting harder DC…

Laurel has been pushing the idea of getting rid of the cable for some time. All the time actually. She didn’t have much more than basic cable growing up and even later in her life. I on the other hand have never been deprived of the magic of cable channels and a big library of VHS tapes. It’s not like she’s one of those people who spent their nights reading Tolkien and playing Frisbee golf. But when she moved in with me I introduced her to the wonder that is DVR.

I sort of feel like a drug dealer… telling her, “you know you need it, look how cool this is”

Cable is one of those things (like purchasing an Ipod) where you can start out wanting to spend $40 and end up with a bill that’s over $100. If cable had “A La Carte” pricing for channels I don’t think I would be having this conversation, but the cable industry won’t listen to that until it starts shedding subscribers. Even then their first reaction will probably be to raise the prices on Internet service. My biggest sticking point for keeping cable will be how will I watch sports. There’s not really that many options for live sports online. But really I don’t watch them enough to justify $100 per month.

I could just cut down on the channels and cut out the DVR, but I would rather watch nothing than watch without the ability to rewind. I’m still making the preparations for this plan (along with the DVD selling) so I’ll be updating on my progress.

later!
