I am doing the same thing for new TV shows -- even in the DVR/PVR Age, I don't have time to pick up every show that looks watchable, and once I make time, I'd much rather go on a DVD binge than have to keep a close eye on the DVR buffer... I spoiled my wife the same way when I introduced her to BTVS (she too was caught up in how bad the Buffy movie was, and didn't know how much better the TV series was than that movie); she got to watch the first 3 seasons on VHS and then had to wait for the season 4 premiere like everyone else ;-) We got binge-burned again when we finished BG 2.0 just before season 2.5 was released... luckily we only had about a week of withdrawals... I lost my momentum after Azkaban as far as the HP books are concerned; I did enjoy what I'd read of Goblet when I got started, but then we had to move, and a bunch of other stuff happened, and I barely have time to read any Spider Robinson, let alone HP. More things to defer until retirement. -Ankhst > X-ASG-Debug-ID: 1166827572-1618000e0000-6KopCH > X-Barracuda-URL: http://dakia3.marvell.com:80/cgi-bin/mark.cgi > X-Barracuda-Connect: unknown[65.98.82.44] > X-Barracuda-Start-Time: 1166827572 > X-Spam-Checker-Version: SpamAssassin 3.1.0 (2005-09-13) on lists.looneylabs.com > X-Spam-Level: > X-Spam-Status: No, score=0.8 required=5.0 tests=AWL,HTML_MESSAGE,NO_REAL_NAME autolearn=disabled version=3.1.0 > X-Original-To: something@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > Delivered-To: something@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > From: cballowe@xxxxxxxxxxx > To: "General Wunderland.Com Discussion List" <something@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > X-ASG-Orig-Subj: Re: [Something] And the new Harry Potter book is called... > Subject: Re: [Something] And the new Harry Potter book is called... > Date: Fri, 22 Dec 2006 22:45:49 +0000 > X-Authenticated-Sender: Y2JhbGxvd2VAY29tY2FzdC5uZXQ= > MIME-Version: 1.0 > X-BeenThere: something@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 > List-Id: "General Wunderland.Com Discussion List" <something.lists.looneylabs.com> > List-Unsubscribe: <http://lists.looneylabs.com/mailman/listinfo/something>, <mailto:something-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe> > List-Archive: <http://lists.looneylabs.com/mailman/private/something> > List-Post: <mailto:something@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > List-Help: <mailto:something-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=help> > List-Subscribe: <http://lists.looneylabs.com/mailman/listinfo/something>, <mailto:something-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=subscribe> > X-Barracuda-Bayes: SPAM GLOBAL 1.0000 1.0000 4.3430 > X-Barracuda-Virus-Scanned: by dakia.marvell.com at marvell.com > X-Barracuda-Spam-Score: 4.89 > X-Barracuda-Spam-Status: Yes, SCORE=4.89 using per-user scores of TAG_LEVEL=3.5 QUARANTINE_LEVEL=5.0 KILL_LEVEL=7.0 tests=NO_REAL_NAME > X-Barracuda-Spam-Report: Code version 3.02, rules version 3.0.29464 Rule breakdown below pts rule name description ---- ---------------------- -------------------------------------------------- 0.55 NO_REAL_NAME From: does not include a real name > X-Barracuda-Spam-Flag: YES > X-OriginalArrivalTime: 22 Dec 2006 22:46:14.0624 (UTC) FILETIME=[FC3D7600:01C7261A] >
