what are DVDs for, anyway?

[oiran]

I'm wondering if I'm doing this wrong. I've been getting some really disgusting disks from Netflix, and I'm starting to wonder if I'm doing something aberrant by simply watching DVDs and being really pretty passive about the whole DVD experience. Based on the condition of the things I get in the mail, I'm not nearly as interactive with the DVDs as some of you (general, in a world sense, not just an LJ sense) seem to be.

I am trying to watch Angel S1 disks and I have to repeatedly smear them with this nerdy audio/video goo that Mr. Glove has around so that I can get them to play at all. I'd say that at least three-quarters of the disks we get from Netflix have serious problems with crusted splooge of one sort or another, as well as deep gouges that seem to have been gnawed into them. People, if you don't like the movie, please don't take it out on the disk.

Ah, Edward. It really pleases me that he's straight. Which is odd, as I usually feel the exact opposite.

I have not turned in my homework yet. I am editing still. I hate it. Do you hate yours? Need eyes? I am willing to help.
Thank you! Cool. I hate it - what it is, which is sweet f.a. - and am nowhere near the middle, but it'll be short, i think, so... I'll write for a while and mail you. Do the same if you want an un-jaundiced eye for yours, okay?

Yes, and yes. I'll fiddle a bit and mail you. Mine is a big, fat experiment and possibly a big, fat failure.

Oh, and a big YES on the Edward, too. He oughtn't to be sexy, but I do indeed wish to fuck him. If he didn't wear lipstick, I doubt I'd feel that way.
