Today, I finally got around to buying that second DVD stand I've been threatening to get for weeks, and I arranged all of the DVDs in a nice order so that they fit evenly between both stands. And of course, they're both the same style, 'cause God knows what I would have done with two mismatched DVD stands. *eye roll* Sheesh, I'm such a geek. (Of course, now they look kind of empty to me, but I'm obsessive like that.) And while I was there, I ... er, bought Amelie. Well, at least I've got my DVD list updated, so I've got that going for me. *DVD nerd mode off*

To-do list for tonight: Finish the Jurassic Park review, write the I, Robot review, and get more of the next round of the Pairing List done. (I started getting it together before the movie today. I've said that you people scare me sometimes, right? Just checking. :))

EDIT: Am watching A Knight's Tale. (Yes, again.) It's a Very Alan Tudyk Weekend for meeeeee.

THIRD COUSIN, TWICE REMOVED OF EDIT: Via anne_jumps, if you've ever wanted to stop masturbating, here's how. Satan never gives up!

If you are associated with other persons having this same
problem, YOU MUST BREAK OFF THEIR FRIENDSHIP.

Yeah, so... don't have ANY friends.

When you bathe, do not admire yourself in a mirror. Never
stay in the bath more than five or six minutes -- just long
enough to bathe and dry and dress AND THEN GET OUT OF THE
BATHROOM into a room where you will have some member of your
family present.

And don't masturbate THEN either!

Never read pornographic material. Never read about your
problem.

But... but... aren't we doing that RIGHT NOW?

When the temptation to masturbate is strong, yell _STOP_ to
those thoughts as loudly as you can in your mind and then
recite a prechosen Scripture or sing an inspirational hymn.

I'll be sure to do that (not that any of this is directed at females) though it may alarm the shit out of my roommate.

For example, if you are tempted to masturbate, think
of having to bathe in a tub of worms, and eat several of
them as you do the act.

But don't REALLY eat worms. Ignore the fact that we said "eat" instead of "eating," thereby nearly suggesting that you eat worms!!

Reduce the amount of spices and condiments in your food.
Eat as lightly as possible at night.

Ummm, it's news to me that A1 makes people want to masturbate.

Avoid people, situations, pictures or reading materials that
might create sexual excitement.

So don't go anywhere or do anything ever.

In very severe cases it may be necessary to tie a hand to
the bed frame with a tie in order that the habit of
masturbating in a semi-sleep condition can be broken.

Annnnd.... what about the other hand?

Especially if you do it constantly. *nods solemnly*

Mormons obviously have some very unique fetishes.

So don't go anywhere or do anything ever.


Except to church, 'cause nobody ever thinks about sex in church. Well, unless the priest is wicked hot or something.

Annnnd.... what about the other hand?

That hand will, of course, be jacking off the person next to you.

Yeah, this particular text doesn't seem to address handjobs involving others....

I'd also recommend trying to recall the entire "Ceremony" speech from Henry V. Trying to remember all the twiddly bits regarding fevers and beggars' knees (the other bits, featuring a) ceremony and b) gods of battles and why they shouldn't fuck him over cause it was his dad's fault anyway) are easy) will quite thrust all OMG IMPURE thoughts from the mind. If this fails, try the St. Crispin's Day speech. I guarantee you will be too busy trying to recall if he told you about the scars before or after the drinking to consider sins of emission.

Yes, I meant "emission," not "omission."

Yes, I have been wandering around my apartment in a corset and trying to remember said speeches for the last hour.

that? was a whole world of wrong. im now tramuatized.

and giggling hysterically over tying one of your hands to the bedpost. so, masturbation is evil and wrong but bondage is perfectly fine? what if you get off on being tied up? wont that make you want to masturbate?

AMELIE! *SQUEE*

I ADORE!

[silent-sybil.livejournal.com]

I used to be Mormon... *flush*

Who's that in the icon? She's purdy.

*remembers the tenets of the article*

Amelie, incidentally, is a favorite of mine. It gave me the quote in my email sig ("Times are hard for dreamers") and I've slowly but surely been conceiving a musical version.

What kind of DVD player do you have? Because a lot of my DVDs are fucked up, and I'm thinking it's because of my cheap DVD player. :(

Any recs?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I actually use the portable Kawasaki DVD player my parents gave me for Christmas (because I don't have a TV), but I probably wouldn't have picked it if given a chance. The screen is nice and crystal-clear, but I think using it at least once a day is wearing it out.

What I'm hoping to do is save up for a TV and a real DVD player, hopefully the same kind my parents got me a few years back that I had to sell because I was broke. I can't remember the brand name, but it played beautifully, the DVDs never skipped (unlike with this one), and it was very compact and stylish. It was smaller than other DVD players I've seen, but lengthwise, not heightwise. I wish I had it back. It was lovely. *sniffle*

[pervinca.livejournal.com]

Yeah, the problem with mine is the skipping. It's driving me insane. :)
