More Treats for Me

Back in December, I wrote about my discovery of the full set of Red Dwarf DVDs. Well, I decided that in addition to the new pots and pans, I would finish buying the DVDs on my list of stolen DVDs (backstory here) AND buy that Red Dwarf set. I look forward to going throught all of the 8 seasons (that's 48 or so episodes, I believe). Squee!

Oh, and I ordered the Canon A720. Thanks for your advice, guys!

I am soooo, so jealous. I used to have the entire series. It was VHS but it was complete. Then I loaned it to some friends. Who somehow managed to melt the majority of the tapes. Now, these are really good friends so I haven't asked for a replacement set. But, wouldn't you feel so guilty that you'd replace them without being asked? And I am so jealous of your brand spankin' new DVDs! I miss that show.

I presume you especially recommended this show to them, so they knew you liked it (enough to have the whole set!), so *yes* I would definitely try to replace it. I wish I could share the DVDs with you! Where's that teleporter when you need it?

Yep I did and yep they did. Here's the other factor: it happened like 4 or 5 years ago. When they first told me, I got the standard lip service to "we'll replace them" - but nothing since then. I'm actually having dinner with the wifey on Saturday so maybe I'll just casually mention that I want to also pick up the non-melted tapes.

I swear I haven't spent so much on postage as in the last year or two. DVD sharing amongst internet friends in far-flung locations is a challenge! It seems I'm always sending out loaned sets and sending back borrowed sets.

Oh, I never thought of that! I could try to send you the first season before I leave for India, but I'm not positive I'll remember. (Usually when I say that, I end up managing it, but I make no promises!) Send me your address, bel, and I'll try to make it happen. :)

OK, I just sent off an email to my friend, jokingly (I hope) bringing it up. We'll see what happens. Thanks for the offer to loan yours to me! What day do you leave? It's May something, right?

Anne C. said...

Yep, I leave May 7. We can start the AnneFlics program when I get back (end of May), if you want to wait and see what your friends do.
