02/25/2003 Archived Entry: "DVD player"

I JOINED THE LATE TWENTIETH CENTURY TODAY: That's right, I finally broke down and bought a DVD player. It came by delivery this morning so I'm eagerly awaiting the opportunity to tear apart my home theatre system just to install a component I swore I would never buy until I could record (I time shift my television watching) on it so that I could ditch my VCR.

That said, Future Shop offered a pretty sweet deal on a Samsung unit so I decided to pull the trigger. Remember, every time you delay a purchase the terrorists win. Tonight's viewing? Either Fight Club, Unbreakable, Lawrence of Arabia or Dark City. The early favourite is Fight Club since I feel in an anarchistic mood this morning.

Now the question is what is the first thing I'll buy for it. My first tape was Bruce Springsteen's Born in the USA, my first CD was U2's Achtung Baby (well, that's not true but it was the first new CD I bought for it) and my first DVD? Probably Fight Club.

I'd go for the Dixie Chicks new DVD of a concert they did lately. Actually, I just bought it and love it.

You had at least progressed to VHS before today, right? :-)
