Paper Houses
On Monday I went to the local HMV to pick up the second season of Chuck (I love him so) on DVD, as I'd heard that was when it was going to be released. They didn't have it and, being male, I didn't ask. After checking another couple of shops I returned home empty-handed. They did, however, have the fifth season of House.

Upon my returnage (from the French verb returner, which I totally just made up), I found that the release date for Chuck S2 had been put back a week! I can only assume that was so it didn't clash with House S5. That annoys me somewhat. Are the Great Gods Of DVD Box Set Release Dates thinking people will be confused? Like, someone's going to send an unknowing relative out with the instruction "Yeah... it's a TV series, with five letters in its title... it's about a guy with an amazing talent who has problems in his love life... there's also a hot chick... yeah".

It's not so bad, though, because Cowboy Bebop finally came out in one box set on the same day! I totally own its ass. And also its right ulna, left retina and brainstem. Further in TV land, I'm making my way through Prison Break. I politely asked Helen to put a couple of eps on the most recent time I was in London.

DIGRESSION ALERT: She was also kind enough to indulge me with some French Doctor Who. I somehow held it together and did not explode in a geeky supernova.

And now I'm addicted! I went out and bought the bucket (that is, the complete box set of all four seasons) to get my fill - currently six or seven episodes into the second season. I maybe a little late to that partickler party, but that don't not mean I can't still have me some fun.

I think that's enough negativity to turn it positive again. If not, please write your congressman. And by that, I literally mean the words "your congressman". Like, on a Post-It note, or something.

Ballster out.

	Good luck with Prison Break. They have the WORST cliffhangers I've ever experienced. Unbearable, I tell you. Enjoy your new purchases and diversions! (Reply to this) (Thread)

I would have paid good money to see geeky supernova explosion! 3. I think I suggested Prison Break to you and something else, and you chose that. 4. Yay for enjoying and buying! I only have s1-3, and haven't seen s2 or 3 yet, so you're ahead of me! 5. To paraphrase The West Wing: Sam: "Well let's not dwell on the fact that you're late to the party, and embrace the fact that you showed up at all." CJ: "That's what I say." 6. I forgot Chuck s2 was to be released! I was so busy with the Frankfurt workshop - but it looks like I have some time if it's not out yet! I must look at s5 of House too, I'm sure I saw an ad in the oaper, saying Blockbuster were selling it for £19.99. Not sure where Blockbusters are though! (Reply to this) (Thread)
