I dreamt last night that my mother had gotten me the DVD for Tin Man for my birthday, and I had to sit there and smile and pretend it was great. Because my mom hears me talk about stuff and then rushes out to put more of it into my life (this is why I have Spider-Man towels, y'all).
The casing was bright golden yelllow, which I guess was the yellow brick road or something, but completely unlike any promotional material I'd seen for the miniseries. When I went, gamely, to open it to watch in front of the family (to prove that I REALLY LOVED MY PRESENT, MOMMY), I saw that the bottom half of the casing had been pried apart. The clear plastic packaging was ripped and the plastic DVD case was gaping open. The paper DVD case cover was ripped (man, I hate that), too. Long story short, no DVD left inside.
This lead to me having to find an excuse to return it, which I was still embarrassed to admit in front of my mother lest she think my returning the DVD for being, you know, missing meant I didn't still want it.
My neuroses, let me show you them.
