Note to DVD companies and video stores: It's nice that you want to put those DVDs in those paper sleeves, even if they are pretty much useless, but if you do, you mind not putting any stickers or pricetags on it? 'Cause some of us collectors are clinically insane and peeling them off without damaging the sleeves does nothing for our mental health.

*sigh* In any event, stopped at Suncoast and picked up a few movies, which I won't name because I'll probably be reccing them on movie_recs. Yeah, that No Movies rule would have lasted longer than an hour if it hadn't been the weekend The Incredibles opened and I hadn't signed up for the Action/Adventure recs -- and now, once approved, the War recs -- on movie_recs. (What does it say about me that out of all the film categories listed, the two the cute, tiny little woman picked 'cause they're her favorites are Action/Adventure and War? Sheesh. ;))

And, because I was thinking about it on the bus, a little Charlie/Claire ficlet ... :)

****

All Claire can think about when she looks at Charlie now is Pavlov's dog.

Somehow, with Charlie shoveling imaginary peanut butter into his mouth with his finger, she'd practically been able to taste it. Yeah, practically, she thinks with a hint of wry amusement. She could taste it, nutty and creamy and melting in her mouth.

Charlie gave her that, she thinks, and now just looking at him brings up the remembered taste of sweet, wonderful peanut butter.

And every once in a while, she wonders if she can close her eyes and kiss Charlie and find out if he tastes like peanut butter, too.

I wanted to make myself a peanut butter sandwich last night but I figured that would be unfair to Claire because I couldn't give her half and God knows how I'd react because now peanut butter=Charlie=mmmmm.

No, I'm not obsessed. *eye roll* ;)

::snort:: Yeah, yeah, tell it to the judge. ;)

*raspberry*

And it'll get more fun next week when I get paid, because I'm loathe to rec a movie unless I've seen it once beforehand as a refresher and I suppose I'll just have to rummage through the War section of Suncoast for movies, 'cause there's only so many submarine movies a person can rec. Not to mention Holocaust films ... for crying out loud, there are other war movies out there. I'm missing out! It's a travesty!

Ahem. :)

I've been told if you aim a hairdryer at the sticker for a few seconds, you can get the label off without damaging the cover. I presume it melts the glue. Never actually tried it myself, but it makes sense to me.

Hi! After you cropped up on two of my friends' journals (cleolinda and milestogo13), I got curious and jumped over to your journal.
And now that I've perused a bit...I'm friending you! Mwahaha.
Hope you don't mind.
No need to friend back.
Unless, you know, you actually want to.

There is a miracle worker chemical you can get at office & craft stores called Undu that will loosen the adhesive without damaging the dvd cover.
