Ugh. I'm trying to resist. While shopping in Walmart today (why are there so many horrible animated movies out but no copies of the Road to El Dorado, I ask you?!) I saw The Stand on DVD for $13.00. I came close to buying it. It's got two tracks of commentary! And my taped-from-television copy is really annoying at times with all its repeating commercials and promos and things. And there are times I really wish I could watch it on the computer rather than listen to it from the other room or behind me on tv.

So I was going to buy 'Road' on amazon.com... but then I'd have to pay shipping and handling as it's under $25. And they have The Stand for only $12.28. And then I wouldn't have to pay s&h and would pay the same extra over the $25 as I would for s&h. Funny how it's suddenly a better deal to pay $30 for two DVDs? Gah. I dunno. I'm relatively broke. But it's tempting, just the same.



The 9/11 coverage is still very haunting. I don't need it quite as thick as they're giving it on tv... but it's been a very somber day in general around here. Of course I live about 10-15 minutes from the Pentagon (and Arlington) so there were flags put up everywhere today and there was a ceremony there today. It was nice. Very sad... but nice. It's starting to get painful to watch tv, though. If I had a quarter for every "It is a different nation today than it was three years and a day ago" *pulls out hair*
