Time for DVDs

Damn, it’s raining outside, I was hoping to run to Sam’s today, I need some more blank DVDs. I seem to be using them at a prodigious rate. I now have the entire run of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer, the first 4 seasons of Angel, the 5th, 6th and 7th season of The X Files, the 2nd and 3rd seasons of Coupling, more movies than several Blockbuster Video Stores contain, and I’m now working on the 3rd, 4th and 5th seasons of Star Trek Deep Space Nine. I love Netflix!
But.....
Sometimes I worry that maybe I’m wasting my time with all this. Not to mention that I will never have enough time in the rest of my entire life to actually watch all this stuff. Most of it I've already seen, but I'd rather watch something I KNOW is good on DVD then waste my time watching most of the junk that's on CTV (Crap TV) right now.
And it’s kind of cool knowing I have it, in my hands, to be used at will (book lovers will know what I mean) I sometimes pretend that, in some alternate universe, I’m saving all this for when I take a spaceship deep into outer space and have nothing to do but watch "Night of the Living Dead" while traveling to the next star. Or, to be more altruistic, I’m the only one on the entire planet who is able to save all this stuff for some far future generation of people who otherwise would never have a chance to see “Red Dwarf” or “Pee Wee’s Playhouse.”
