"As if you have a choice..."
Well, it is no secret the new Star Wars DVD box set just came out. I am not a fan of all the changes that Lucas put in the transfer, but I rarely watch tape, so this was really the only way I would be able to ever see my precious Jedi (see a theme in my posts yet?)
Well interestingly enough, my wife an I are poor. Not super poor, but we hate not having a certain amount of money in the bank and while I am in the job transition (a.k.a. no money coming in) we have promised not to spend recklessly.
Fast forward to today and I am hanging with Kevin @ Best Buy. I knew I shouldn't have, but he needed to get something and it was a break from K.O.T.O.R.. I pass by a display for the new box set and then a TV running the menu for Empire.... By now my heart is racing. I know I cannot buy the DVD. I promised not to get anything and make rash spending choices. At the same time the Lucas marketing machine has me by the balls and is using the Force on me. What is this weak minded pawn to do? Give in? No! Call my wife to hear her shoot me down! That will ground me back to reality.
I call the wife. I comment "I am at Best Buy with Kevin..."
She in turn cuts me off and says, "Go ahead: buy the DVDs!"
Wow. Even C-Money told me to give in to the dark side. The world is a twisted place.
