One thing I really wanted for Christmas (-besides relief from the torture Flori-duhh puts me through) was a Best Buy (or Wal Mart) Gift Card, worth at least $100, so I could "beef up" my DVD library some with missing, but wanted DVD titles.
I KINda got it... -I got two Best Buy Cards, worth $20 each.(drat, cool, drat, cool, drat, cool...)
(-I, later, asked them to let me keep the holographic one, which I have placed inside one of my purchases along with a hand-written note, listing the four DVD's I purchased with it)
So, I ventured off to Best Buy this morning with the $40 worth of gift cards, and spent $59 on four DVD's.
1) Full Metal Jacket. -I've had it on videotape for quite some time... I wanted the DVD, but there were others I was pre-occupied with. -Nice addition to the library!
-Me love it long time!
2) Blade II. -Another I've had on videotape for quite some time, and I'd already bought "Blade", and "Blade "Trinity", so this one finally completed the original trilogy.
3) Friday The 13th part nine: Jason Goes To Hell. Yep! -I've had this one on video for quite some time, but I hadn't been able to find this on DVD ANYWHERE 'till I saw it this morning. -I have the 5-disk "From Crystal Lake To Manhattan" Box Set, and I've had Friday The 13th part 10: Jason X on disk, but I couldn't find this DVD for well over 2 years. This was the pivital version that showed Jason's mask being grabbed by Freddy Kruegar, which was the "lead-in" to Freddy Vs. Jason. (-which I also have) This purchase completed my "Friday The 13th Series-on-disk". -I'm glad to have finally found it!!!
4) Harry Potter And The Order Of The Phoenix, 2-disk Special Edition (-Just like the 1st four I have) -This is the one I'm keeping the holographic Best Buy card in. This DVD also looks much better than the editor's version I was given online months ago!
Now, the DVD's I wished I could have picked up were "Married... With Children Seasons 7 & 8", "Tales From The Crypt Seasons 6 & 7" (-There's rumours of a soon-to-be-done third "Tales..." movie...) "The Simpson's Movie" with the Simpson's figurines (-I hope it's the version that didn't edit out Bart's nekkid-little-cartoon-pee-pee, but I'm not sure yet) "South Park: Season 10" and "Anatomy Of A Drum Solo" by Neil Peart. -So easy it is to fall behind on your favorite series...
-Eh, I'll catch up again...
My sister sent me a few DVD's for Christmas...
She sent me the movie "Serenity" (-which I've had in the DVD library for quite some time now) and the four-disk Box Set of the series "Firefly", which I hear has something to do with the movie. Even 'tho I had the movie (now I have two of them...) I haven't watched it yet, nor did I know anything about any series. -I ought to be able to get to it this weekend...
Re-focusing on real life, I have one more visit to the Physical Therapist, and I see the Specialist January 14th. -Hopefully, I'll be back to work by February. -Let's see what happens...
The nicest thing I got for Christmas was the knowledge that my niece returned from deployment alive, and all in one piece. (-I took comfort in the FACT that she hadn't been deployed with idiots, but well-trained members of our armed services.) I'm GLAD she's home, alive and well, and I wish I could see her NOW!
-Maybe someday soon...
Today, SHE is my Hero!
Once again I say, and wish, Happy Holidays to everyone!
-May we all do, and get better next year!
