I made another impulse purchase while in town yesterday.Now everyone who knows me knows I'm a bit of a geeky sci-fi fan, been into Star Trek and suchlike for as long as I can remember.
Thing is... the one series I never really managed to catch on TV, just coz it was on at unpredictable times, was Babylon 5. Over several years, I think I only ever caught around 3 or 4 eposides... 5, absolute tops... though I really liked what I saw.
So, they've had the DVDs in the shops for some time now, quite often at budget prices, but each shop only ever had a couple of seasons at any one time, and I figured if I was gonna watch them, I wanted to watch them in the right order.
Well, yesterday, as luck would have it, I stumbled across a shop which had all 5 seasons, 4 of which were at bargain prices, and I knew I'd never get an oportunity like that to get the whole lot in one go at a sensible(ish) price.
£170 later, and I have probably a months worth of B5 to watch. All I gotta do now is find the time to watch them all.
Today's been the usual friday rush to get the place respectable looking and get shopping done before Andrea gets here.
What's extra nice is, she has a week off work this week, so we'll have more time to do stuff, and won't feel so restricted by the ticking clock come sunday afternoon.
It should ease the phone bills too, coz by god do we ever talk for ages on the phone during the week. It's actually rather amazing how much we have in common, without even realising it quite often. Many's the time one or other of us will say "You're me, aren't you?" as we seem to have lived paralel lives, with similar upbringings, experiences, and hence attitudes and responses to stuff.
We're both virgos too, and if you really wanna know what happens when two virgos who're a good match get together... well... go look it up :-P
