It all started so innocently...Went around Queens trying to find one silly little Pulse dvd. As Friday lagged on, it got infinitely worse and I couldnt find it. So after working out on Saturday, I decided to go to Manhattan to see Running Scared and pick it up. Wouldnt you know, no one had it there, except the shitty little porno stores on 8th Ave. in Midtown. So I bought it. Well cut to today. In Target on Queens Blvd. and guess what's there? That's right, 4 copies of The Pulse. So after listening to my wife bitch at me for 10 minutes, I decided to say fuck the budget and went on a DVD spending spree. I picked up Sin City extended Ed., The 3 Extremes R1 for the Miike commentary and full length Dumplings to compliment my Megastar HK release, Saw 2, and The Ultimate Avengers at Target. The went to BB and picked up Exorcist the Beginning, Alexander DC and Transporter 2 used for $15.00 bucks because I havent seen them and they were cheaper than renting. And to top it off, picked up Deftones B-sides and Rarities and Saw uncut because if Im going to have 2, I need to have 1. Nothing like blowing the budget for a little catharsis. Anyways, back on the wagon tommorrow, just had to vent. I have to say, it sure felt fucking good getting that many dvds in a day again, its been a while.

Nothing like getting bitched out to bring on a DVD spending spree

Feeling depressed? Spend! Feeling happy? Spend!

DVD's are my therapy, screw a $100/hour therapist when you've got a $15/2 hour movie.

wait a second...so you had a hard time finding a dvd, you got in a a porno shop and you saw the dvd in target a few days later and decided to go on a dvd spending spree...that doesn't make much sense to me, could you explain?

After your wife finds out that you went on a DVD shopping spree, your wife is going to bitch you some more

No problem. It will simply bring on another DVD shopping spree.

The circle is complete...

The porno stores in and around time square sell regular dvds as well as all kinds of other crap. When I went to Target on Friday, they didnt have The Pulse and I asked if they had any in stock and they said no. On Sunday, lo-and-behold, they had 3 on the shelves.

Eh, I figure if I am going to get bitched at, I better make it worth my while. Anyways, she bought clothes so now we are even.

Yes when all else fails...talk them into going cloths shopping Then they can't complain

I do this when my "To Buy" list is over, but I have the sudden urge to buy something...anything!

Walmart's bargain bin was kind to me this weekend:

Willard (Crispin Glover) SE - $3.50
Panic Room (Superbit) - $5.50 (!!)
Rent (2 disc) - $14.69 (or thereabouts)
Street Fighter/Return of the Street Fighter - $0.99

Don't worry; it happens to me as well. I'm not married, so I don't really get nagged about budgeting (except from my parents,) but I've gone into a store to get one DVD and come out with about $100 worth of DVDs.
