Completion, if not success

So at long last I've finished documenting and making fit for public consumption DVDSoon.com's particular sins against me. I actually started at the beginning of this week, but kept putting it off. One of these days I'll have to do something about my tendency towards self-sabotage.

In any case, all the files are annotated and uploaded, a succinct dunning letter has been sent, only slightly delayed by my having to retype it after losing the first draft. Never fight a land war in Asia, and never save your only copy to a remote server which may or may not be responding.

I've given up on bad TV shows. At a certain point, I asked myself, “Why am I wasting my time on this if I don't really enjoy it?” and I realized that I no longer needed to actually watch them.

Whether it's the overwhelmingly “all of these people should have Darwin Awards” quality of Lost, or the “Sturgeon's Law in action” demonstration that is Smallville, I just don't care what happens next and that's X hours of my life I'll never get back.

Sure, I'll still occasionally tune in and then tune out while I'm doing something in the same room, but lingering remnants of morbid curiosity can be satisfied by the recaps on Television Without Pity, which are practically guaranteed to be vastly more entertaining.

As it is, I just don't watch that much television, and they cancel everything I like anyway, so I look forward to watching much less. I can now use that time for viewing classic films from the library, or the good parts of PBS, or something similarly worthwhile.

Now to finally get some sleep.
