trinityvixenIn order to facillitate my DVD addiction, I need to find a certain website. Hence, I look to my friends for help.
Is there a website people use to check on various editions of DVD releases to pick the best one? 'Cause I am friggin' sick of the thirteen different releases for movies--each one more ultimate than the last! Anyone?

Can I just say, pet peeve here, as someone who is able to walk and read at the same time (without being annoying or getting in the way or tripping myself up), I really fucking hate people who go out of their way to fuck with me when I'm trying to read?
No, I'm being totally serious here. I can read and rely on my peripheral vision to guide me along and twice in the past two weeks someone (two different someones) have felt the need to throw an arm out in my way. In both cases, it wasn't because they especially needed to talk to me or get my attention: it was just to be obnoxious. Because they either assumed that I'd see them and look up (their motive being to disturb my reading) or that I wouldn't and would, I dunno, flail about or trip and fall (that being their motive). Either way? That is goddamned rude. I don't bother anyone when I walk and read. I walk around people more often than I do through them, and I'm frequently the first person to notice the other (I've had more people just wander into me than I've wandered into others while reading).
Why is this okay to do? Why does fucking with someone who is clearly enjoying something they're reading enough to multitask seem like a cool or funny thing to do? Am I in grade school? Are people going to put "KICK ME" signs on my back when they go by? Or pants me? These are fucking adults here, and they see no reason not to purposefully disturb my reading for no other reason than because they can and because I might fall on my goddamned nose or something.
GRRRRAAAAAAGH

Hmm, I thought I was the only one who went around reading while walking down city streets and the like... yay! Not the freak!
