April is more than halfway gone and it still feels like it's crawling. May 1st marks a monumental day in the long, sorted history of the DoNothingMan; I'm finally moving out of the campus area to a more adult residency. Gah, that already sounds boring as hell.
Part of the challenge in moving, at least for me, is eliminating all the excess crap that I have accumulated over the years; trimming the fat, so to speak. Under the most scrutiny right now is my collection of DVD movies. A couple discs will be kept; there's no questions about the South Park seasons. But most can be sold; probably only for a buck or two. So, I'm dividing the my list of DVDs. The first section contains the DVDs that I am definitely selling:
- Appleseed
- Batman Begins
- The Covenant
- Escape from New York
- Harry Potter 1
- Harry Potter 2
- Harry Potter 3
- Leverage Season 1
- The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
- The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers
- The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
- One Hour Photo
- Pan's Labyrinth
- Pathfinder Unrated
- Spider-Man
- Spider-Man 2
- Wanted
Previously, this list included Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park: The Lost World which I picked up in a box set. When I showed by stack to-sell DVDs to my roommate he immediately asked if he could buy the Jurassic Park pack. Knowing that he would give the movies a good home, I just let him keep them. I'm just that nice.
Now for the tough part, the next list consists of all the DVDs I intend to keep. It's still a long list and I would like to weed some more out, but I don't think I can. Maybe sharing will spark my desire to downsize.

Holy crap, that's a long list. There are, of course, some funny stories associated with many items on this list. I picked up the
Indiana Jones Quadrilogy reluctantly, asking the clerk in the movie section of
Hastings if I could get it without the fourth film-astrophe. She laughed, but she wouldn't let me open it up and leave the fourth movie in the store. I guess I would have done the same, had I been in her shoes. To this day, I have not watched the fourth movie (and I know that some on this list are probably worse films) but curiosity will eventually get the best of me and I'll watch it, my eyes will bleed, and I'll melt into a puddle of special effects goo.
