Waking The Dead, Series 3
House, Series 1
Kung Fu, Series 1
Star Trek, TNG-Season 1, 2, 3 and 4 (all second hand)
Cadfael, The Complete set
Supernatural, Season 1
Battlestar Gallactica, Season 1
Star Trek, DS9, Season 1 |

What do you suppose is at the root of this need to possess these things?
(I collect empty containers, jars, boxes...)

I collect those things too! I have never met anyone who shares that interst with me. Especially boxes, mostly wood, but I like glass jars too.

I have three shelves devoted to DVD boxsets.
Not individual DVDs, just boxsets.

I love the weight and the individual slimline DVD cases you get in boxed sets.
The Star Trek ones are all so large too. IT is strange. I find individual DVDs messy and a waste of money but boxed sets...you can get like over 1000 minutes for the same price. |

Love boxed sets also
Planet Earth (Documentary BBC FABULOUS!!!)
All seasons of The X-Files ( love where the kid is a vampire,"Bad Blood" I think it is, and the baseball playing alien,"For the Love of the Game",the "Cops" one isn't too bad either)
My Name is Earl (raised in Kentucky so Jamie Pressely cracks me up always.)
House 1&2
Boston Legal (Always makes me Laugh a lot  ) "Denny Crane"
The Daily Show w/ John Stewart "Indecision 2004
South Park 1,2,3
Koyaanisquatsi & Powaqqatsi
But my Favorite of all time has to be "What the bleep do we know, down the rabbit hole, the quatum edition"
It's what I got all my co-workers for christmas.
I used to collect little tins, and boxes, once when me and my Future X to be was fighting when I came home from work he'd smashed them all up cause he knew it would hurt me more than his words ever would. (I'd learned in High School how to block out the words)Now that I'm away from him maybe I'll start collecting again.
