Courting disaster, DVDs, and why I can't get right

I have this three part introspective dissertation on my job & line of work, but it's tied up right now in my hard drive ... at work. Yep, was writing it in-between sessions. It's pretty caustic ... but it might have to wait until next week starts up in full for me to be able to post it here.

Until then, regale in stories of, yep, my ongoing DVD purchasing habits:

1) Just got my copies of the Superfriends DVDs, "United They Stand" and "vs. The Legion Of Doom." Good times, great memories. Set me back all of $8 from ... I hesitate to admit this ... Walmart.com. I might as well have sold my soul, but shit, 2 DVDs for $8, when in the store they were selling for $5.50 and $7.50, respectively? What would you do?

2) I ordered about 5 movies over the course of two separate orders from Deep Discount DVD, and they were all on backorder ... okay, now, they are all coming back in stock at different times. I now have 5 separate shipments coming to me, all consisting of one DVD each. In this order: Repulsion; Dracula Has Risen From The Grave; Curse Of Frankenstein; Curse Of The Demon; and, Cemetery Man.

3) Buy 3, Get 1 Free sale at Ring Of Honor!

4) Buy 2, Get 1 Free sale at Barnes & Noble!

5) TNA: Against All Odds 2006 (the one where Christian wins the title & the fans flood the ring) out July 4, only at Best Buy!

Man, damn! I'll be glad when I get my effexor prescription filled ... it won't be long before I'm throwing dead midgets out the back door.
