When you live in a town like college station where there is almost nothing to do, movies start to sound like the greatest thing ever.
Usually when you pay $4.68 to rent a movie from blockbuster, you expect a certain amount of quality assurance.
When I say "quality assurance", I'm referring to small things like DVDs not being scratched, the right movie being in the case, etc.
It's beginning to seem to me that the blockbuster corporation is involved in a conspiracy against me that involves the intentional scratching of particular DVDs that they know I'm going to select.
take this scenario as an example: It's been a long week of classes, it's really hot and humid outside, and all you want to do in that moment is sit on the couch and enjoy Denzel Washington shooting people. so you get in your car, sit in traffic because you forgot that the city of college station is doing construction everywhere, finally arrive to blockbuster to select your movie of choice, sit in traffic on your way home from the store, put in the movie, and then realize that the disc is skipping and there is no way that you could possibly enjoy the entire movie like this.
AWESOME.
am I the only one who has experienced this?!
it drives me absolutely crazy!
i think that my girlfriend dayna somewhat receives joy from watching me get upset about such petty little things.
I'll go ahead and step off of my soapbox for now......but seriously blockbuster. get it together.

1. join netflix. for only $15/month you get 2 unlimited DVD's w/o the hassel associated w/ the mentioned blockbuster fiasco.
2. try flushing said scratched dvd, it works to clear up the mess. place the dvd flat in the toilet, flush and then pull out. this will relieve the scratch until netflix arrives.
My favorite is when the bb employees insist your dvd player is faulty...
I know you are not married. BUT try this one on the brain. You put your favorite movie in...it is coveted over all movies...it is hidden in the top back part of the 'movie shelf' so the kids don't destroy it. You are going to watch it and for some reason ONLY known to God and the little child...they take it OUT of the dvdplayer..why? Again,God and Lil'kid. And they lay it on..THE FIREPLACE..And you find it ...minutes later.AND there it is scratch..and it now skips in the worst places and all you can do is throw it away and buy a new one... that makes me pop a vein!
