One of my shames though, is a stack of VHS tapes that I still have.
I avoided any guilt over my collection of videotapes by incorporating them into my living room design scheme.
Lorne: Take care of yourself and ah, make sure fluffy is getting enough love. Gunn: Did he have anything? Fred: No. And who's fluffy? Are you fluffy? Gunn: He called me fluffy? Fred: He said make sure…wait. You don't think he was referring to anything of mine that's fluffy, do you? Because that would just be inappropriate.

I should probably get rid of most of my VHS tapes, but the vcr will be staying until I suck it up and spring for TIVO (or TI-Faux, or whatever). I actually use it to record video, although not as much as I used to now that I can stream most of what I want from hulu or wherever.

If anyone out there has stuff on VHS tapes that they want to keep and have converted onto DVDs, let me know--earlier this year, I bought a DVD/VCR combo that lets me rip discs. I'll be happy to do so for anyone out there!!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
We are about to purge all VHS that mac no longer wants. I'll keep the VCR as long as it works and I can get cheap videos of kid stuff he has never seen. Street sales in our hood have lots of these.

It wasn't that long ago that we were still using a VCR, but now a VHS tape feels like bronze age technology.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Perkins, I do not understand your mom. Knowing they are from you explains why they are early? Is early a bad thing? She doesn't think she should now thank you?
I don't really either. I think early may be bad here, though I am not sure why. I suspect she is waiting to thank me on Mother's day, as a way of making sure I will call, which makes Momsense.

Am I the only one who finds VHS more reliable than DVDs? Sure, the quality ain't as great, but most of my DVDs are starting making problem after 6-12 months. And that's with several DVD players experience.

Oh, lords of interior design porn. I wanna a. move in, b. go back in time and make sure Baudrillard will see this before writing his doctoral thesis, c. fuck a., when can you come here and design my apartment for me?

Thanks msbelle. I do have time to myself finally again this weekend, because theatre is over for the year. For those of you who did not know... msbelle is wise.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That's... odd. Are you talking about DVDs you recorded?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm really pleased with myself for having bagged up the many shoes I haven't worn in years, even if the bags haven't made it out of my house yet. And even though all of the shoes were living in the bottom of my closet, so I never really saw them. Progress!
I wonder if anyone on eBay would want to buy my Buffy VHS tapes? I am also super excited about having listed two things for sale on eBay, even though it's only two, and only one has a bid. The auctions end in a couple of hours, and each has several people watching, so I have hopes...
