\nBabylon 5.
\nDVD.
\nPre-order.
\nToday.<\/p>\n
The first DVD has both the pilot episode, The Gathering<\/i>, and the TV movie In the Beginning<\/i>, offered for only $15. Could that mean that, when we get to the eps, we’ll actually get 3 or 4 eps per disk? That might make it worth it.<\/p>\n
Btw, The Gathering<\/i> shows as having a production date of 1993<\/b><\/i>. Ye gods. A lifetime ago, almost literally for me. I mean, in 1993 I was doing Oracle DBA work in Pasadena, living in a condo in Phillips Ranch, CA, and married (rockily) to Cheryl. Now I’m an IT Manager in Denver, living in a house, with Margie my wife and Katherine my baby.<\/p>\n
Wow.<\/p>\n
Still a few constants. Mist, for one, who turns 10 this week. Comic books. My employer (if not my position).<\/p>\n
Wow.<\/p>\n
What I’ll regret if I replace my home-taped tapes with DVDs is (believe it or not) watching, via news blurbs, the progress of the whole OJ Simpson murder, trial, aftermath. Weird.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
