so after reading the Dark Tower for almost 30 years of my life, starting with The Drawing of the Three(1987) until The Dark Tower ends(2004), re-reading it several times, even now while i writing this, to find out that Roland wont have those blue bombardier eyes, and what goes next… and what for Susannah in this sake..
How do they expect fans to react, shouldn’t i feel tricked, should i threw my books wait for the movie to change my long life imagination of the Gunslinger?

In an effort to make more storage space at home, I have sold 97% of my entire (1500+) DVD collection.
The entire lot has been bought at once (including 3 of those “Billy” Ikea bookcases) by my brother-in-law, who has now tripled his collection (with probably about 200 duplicates included).

I’ve only kept most of my animated films and other children’s movies, you know, for the kids.

It hurt.

But at least I know they’ve gone to a good home.




And in other news: April 11th - Zoë‘s first day of nursery school - can’t come soon enough. She’s the oldest at the daycare center right now and she’s starting to get bored there. Which means she rebels at home when we have to take her there.
I practically had to drag her along this morning.

That girl has got some seriously horrible morning moods, and she’s stubborn as a mule. She’s just like her dad…

You can now start your Blu-Ray collection

Physical media are dead.

Besides, the missus wanted Netflix.

Wow, Timo!  That must have been a real wrench to get rid of that collection, but at least you can visit it once in a while. 

Zoë may be bored, but she could also have had an incident with one of the other kids that upset her.  Hopefully a change in environment will help.

Well, the missus has asked me to get rid of it for a while now, and ever since she coined the idea, my brother-in-law had been interested in buying it (he mainly became a film nut because of my influence).
It just took me a long while to cave in.

Zoë may be bored, but she could also have had an incident with one of the other kids that upset her.  Hopefully a change in environment will help.

No incident. She’s just 4-5 months older than the second-oldest toddler there and she misses her best friend (and probably future boyfriend) who started going to school a month ago.
Only a few more weeks left…

If someone asked me to get rid of my collection of adventure games (2 billies) just to make room for something else, I’d ask them to move out!!

Well…

Or I’d put them in boxes and store them under the stairs, in the toilet, under the bed, in the attic, in someone else’s attic, anywhere. But I would NOT sell them.

Boxing part of it away was phase one.

Actually, apart from DVDs for the kids, I had watched less than 10 DVDs in the last two years. The collection has been doing little more than collecting dust these past years.
In fact, most of the time I watched something that I had on DVD, it was because they were playing it on TV, not because I had bothered to pop in the disc. My collection was going to waste.

Now it’s in the hands of someone who has time to binge-watch films.

Besides, I’m not one for sentiment, and we’re in the digital age. No more physical media if it can be helped.

So…? It’s a collection. You don’t have to do anything with it if you don’t want to. I buy most adventures online nowadays.

Besides, I’m not one for sentiment,

Right… that’s why selling your collection hurt so much and you told us all about it…

You didn’t rip all of them, like most people did with their CDs early in the millennium?

Nah. Other people have done that for me online.

Also, Netflix.

It’s been a couple of days. I’m over it now.
