So I get all excited when the season one and two of Dead Like Me arrives today.
I pop the DVD into my player only to find out it has died. No big surprise as it was acting strangely the other day not wanting to let me select some menus on the DVDs.
Run out to Best Buy and buy the cheapest DVD player that they sell. Get home hook it up only to find out its video out is fucked and everything is too low on the screen and in black and white. I fuck around with its menus for awhile and change cables around but nothing fixes it.
So I go back to Best Buy where I get to wait in line for almost 30 minuets. I'm stranding there thinking that my time is really worth more then the $40 the DVD player when the woman finally tells me it is my turn.
Not wanting to go through this a second time I decide to get the next model up figuring I would stand a better chance of this one working when I got home. So I go looking at the DVD players again only to see that the next model up doesn't have S-video out so I go one more model up.
Go back and get in line again. 30 minutes later it's finally my turn. I pay the $20 more that this one costs and leave the store.
Traffic is still backed way up from the dead body in the road earlier and it takes me 30 minutes to get less then one mile to my house.
So two dead DVD players and one dead body later I'm finally able to watch a couple episodes Dead Like Me.
