You know, I'm really loving the invention of the DVD. I can now I start my new year's resolution of cleaning my apartment by tossing my old recorded off the TV TV shows!
This being one of them. The owners of the company I work for gave all of us a little after Christmas Christmas bonus. It wasn't that much, but enough that I am now the proud owner of almost the entire X-Files collection on DVD! (still need seasons 8 &9 but I'm still debating. I didn't really enjoy the last two seasons, so I may go the second hand route again). Needless to say, I bought two seasons second hand and two new. Now my Jewish guilt comes back to haunt me...here's why:
I probably should have spent the money in a more practical manner...
1. Pay Bills...no wait, they're all paid up to date..and my line of credit will be gone by August at the rate I'm going. I owe nothing on my Visa!
2. Buy new clothes. I'm a weird in-between size so shopping is generally no fun for me. It's either way way to big, or my cookie induced hips make it impossible to do things up. Scratch that for now.
3. Music, I haven't bought a new cd for two months now. I must be slipping. (ok, so this isn't really practical, but I digress).
4. Buy the Superdog some tasty yummies. No, wait...I ALWAYS buy him tasty yummies, it's in the budget!
So forgive me oh great guilt gods for purchasing the DVD's of the one show I connected so much with. I remember when it was on Friday nights, I stayed at home. Sunday nights too when they moved it. I had no life, but I lived for Scully and Mulder. And now, as I visit the two of them again, I'm reminded that even though I was a non-social misfit during those 9 seasons, I was so very happy.
