DVDs
Hooray for used DVD sales. I picked up three movies I otherwise probably wouldn’t have (The Fellowship of the Ring two-disc set, Hellboy two-disc set, and Takashi Miike’s Audition), all for about $20. Discs are immaculate, too. w00t!

Thomas Jefferson would stab you in the neck with a spoon if he heard you say that. That’s a point I’ve tried to make in conversation, but it […]
