So I have achieved new levels of geek status. On Saturday I became the proud owner of the first four seasons of Smallville. As if this wasn't enough to secure my geek-dom, I bought them for about 40% of their retail price off of a deal I found on Craigslist (not just for creepers anymore).
Now. I know that Smallville isn't exactly the best of television, but I absolutely love this show. I love the characters. I love the cheesy special effects (a car blows up or crashes nearly every episode). I love the fact that everyone in the cast is unreasonably beautiful.
I'm sure that some psychologists would tie my undying love of this show to my childhood obsession with Superman (hey. even I might tie it to that) but regardless of why I love this show despite its many shortcomings, I do. I like knowing that the bad guy always loses. I like that it is set in Kansas. I like that the people, despite being ridiculously good looking, have problems and issues in their lives.
I just love this show.
So don't call me for awhile. I intend to hide myself away with my obsession until I am ready to go buy season five.

Wow, I could have just loaned you my six seasons (well, once Tommy Todd has returned the last few that is). Then again, that wouldn't assuage your desire of ownership. While I like this show, I also recognize its pitfalls. There is better writing out there. There is better acting out there. That still doesn't diminish my enjoyment of the show.
Oh Pete.
if I had known that you owned all six seasons, I probably would have borrowed them from you. However - we dont' see each other nearly enough. How would I ever return them? Now that I own four out of seven seasons - getting the next three doesn't seem too daunting.
I needed to get the first four anyway, because I didn't start watching the show in earnest until half way through the fifth season.
It's ok. Like I said, this is something you'd want to own anyway, so no harm done. To rectify the whole seeing each other thing, well, you could always come see a Tantrum show. I will try coming to the club sometime on a night that I know you'll be there. When's Leah's next performance (after this weekend that is - I'm in Illinois at the moment)?
I actually am playing the 5 o'clock show at the new club next Saturday. It's been awhile since I've played a show up here. I'm all used to jiving with the Springfield cats.
Afterwards I was planning on going to the Loaded Dice show afterwards at the Westport Coffee House. Maybe I'll see you there?
I have family coming into town to visit me and we're heading to my cousin's new house that night. It looks like I'll have to catch you another time.
