Technofetishism II
My new DVD player and VCR arrived yesterday, thanks to 800.com and UPS. Awesome! I hooked 'em up to my TV and stayed up late watching the Beastie Boys DVD, "Rock 'n' Roll High School," and "Best in Show." So late that I slept through my alarm this morning. I fell asleep during "Best in Show," so I'll have to watch it again before I return it to NetFlix. Usually can't do that with a rental movie.

I'm not much of an audiophile or videophile when it comes to the actual equipment, so I don't really know how good these are, but so far, I'm pretty pleased with them. I got a Toshiba SD1700 DVD player and a Toshiba W705 six-head VCR, which isn't listed on Toshiba's Web site. Woohoo!
