SO I'M REWATCHING LIFE ON MARS, IS MY POINT.

[daygloparker]

Okay, so like, I am equally INCREDIBLY EXCITED and FEELING INCREDIBLY STUPID at the time same.

Back in January, when I raced through Life On Mars, I figured that I would a) definitely want to watch all of this again; and b) didn't have the space on my laptop to accommodate keeping both seasons + whatever else I'd want (namely: all of Doctor Who

One day, I am going to open a company called "Slap-to-the-head-o-gram" and you will be a beta. Just sayin.

YOU HAVE TO UNDERSTAND, THIS IS THE SAME DVD PLAYER THAT, WHEN YOU PUT A REGULAR DVD IN, IT WILL RANDOMLY SELECT A CHAPTER TO PLAY INSTEAD OF STARTING FROM THE BEGINNING.

So, like, that was the level of quality I thought I was dealing with!

Er.. tons of Divx-playable dvd players do that. It's a quirk of the programming. *eyes* Did you READ THE FRONT OF THE DVD PLAYER that should say 'Divx'? Because if that word is on your dvd player ANYWHERE, I will despair of you.

...OKAY TO MY CREDIT, it is:

a) not on the front of the DVD, but on THE TOP OF IT? Like, in a place that is right now covered up by a stack of DVDs, and if I hadn't just thought it was really strange that there's nothing printed on the front of my DVD player, I would have maybe never thought to look there because who DOESN'T put that on the front?
b) very, very difficult to read on account of it being ON THE TOP of the DVD player and therefore in shadow.

Can you tell that I watch 85-90% of my DVDs on my laptop, by the way?

I'm just going to sit over here and laugh, okay? Possibly for a very long time.

It's not my fault that I paid $25 for this thing and didn't expect it to do much else other than play regular ordinary DVDs!
