I feel the need to emphasize once again that I do not watch TV and movies all the time. I maybe watch one hour a day of TV during the week. A little more on the weekends. We are busy and don't have tons of time. I have been known to pop in a movie or series in my portable dvd player and have it playing on the kitchen counter while I'm making dinner. Or folding laundry. I have to multi-task.
So even though I am not spending 24/7 in front of the screen, I still add to my collection. I think it started when I was living in my first apartment and had no money, no cable, and no internet. But what did I have? I had a tv and DVD player. That was my entertainment. Movies and TV series that I already owned.
So, when I realized that I got 3 paychecks this month, I set aside $100 for myself to spend at Amazon and Target to splurge a little. My bounty came today!
Never Been Kissed - on sale for $4.75 on blu ray at Target. I couldn't pass it up!
Parks and Rec, Season One - this is becoming my new favorite comedy series, so I decided to slowly buy them on DVD. SUCH a funny show!
How to Make an American Quilt - an oldie, but goodie.
That Thing You Do - Another great one! And who doesn't love Tom Hanks?
Mad Men, Season 6 - I got sucked in after the first season. (sigh)
The Young Riders, Season 2 - My favorite series as a 12-13 year old. They released season 1 a few years ago, then season 3 a few months ago, and then season 2. So, a little out of order, but my series is complete now!
So maybe this weekend I'll have some time to watch some of them - after work on Friday, dinner with friends Friday night, French service Saturday, French Bible reading class, then meeting. Hmm. I better fire up the portable DVD player!
(p.s. - all of the above came in well under $100, thanks to my free shipping on Amazon and sales at Target!)
