pondering ponderables
Jan. 25th, 2005 10:31 amSo we got to talking at work yesterday about books, movies and music - as you do when you work at Borders, since we sell all those things. And I was asked why I buy so many DVDs. I told them I don't rent. People were surprised, and just looked at me. They asked how did I know I would like something ahead of time, since I also rarely go to the theater (which I blame on the tiny theater that gets very few movies) - I told them that I had a group of friends that have seen pretty much everything and I trust their opinions. Yes, that would be all of y'all. That and the fact that I used to go to the movies twice a week for about three years.
I told them that if I buy something I will be watching it more than once, otherwise why pay that much money. So they asked if I have watched everything more than once. I honestly have to say bno since I actually have some movies that I haven't watched at all yet, but off the ones I bought before the big spending spree I can say "yes, I have". So then they grilled me about which ones I've watched the most. I was going to answer but the guy with the gun showed up to pick up our deposit and I went back to work.
Then I couldn't get to sleep last night thinking about it. Eventually I did. So, out of sheer boredom today (I'm doing laundry) I give you:
( The movies Lincoln watches and watches and watches )
