Wouldn't you say my collection's complete?

I know that in 3 years, I won't have regretted this purchase at all, but right now, I'm trying my darndest to justify it. Stupid Borders and their 40% off coupons!

Yeah, so I bought this big Alfred Hitchcock box set. I have been wanting to buy several of the films separately for awhile (Psycho, The Birds, Shadow of a Doubt, etc.), and the cost of the set was a few dollars cheaper than buying them separately... (justification continues).

Just in case you were wondering, here are the other titles included:
  • Saboteur
  • Rope
  • The Trouble With Harry
  • The Man Who Knew Too Much
  • Marnie
  • Torn Curtain
  • Topaz
  • Frenzy
  • Family Plot
  • Rear Window
  • Vertigo
It's a pretty good collection all in all, and when you add to it the films I already have (Dial M For Murder, I Confess, Strangers on a Train), I have the start of a nice little Hitchcock collection. I actually already have copies of Rear Window and Vertigo, so for anyone out there who is interested in buying a used DVD or two that are in excellent condition, they're going cheap! I'm thinking $10/DVD, but that's negotiable, as long as you're willing to go up.

A ton of useless information

Here's a collection of random facts and events that have been a part of my life lately:

I think my new cell phone is sexy, but it has serious T9 problems, which led me to restoring it to factory presets, and being mildly amused at the following message.
A few years ago, this Seattle building did not have a picture of Ichiro on it. In fact, this is where I confronted the Giant Head of Donny Osmond. It was as big as Ichiro.
You can buy "Space Noodles" at the Space Needle.

They even kinda-sorta look like the Space Needle.
Apparently that Peruvian band that is always in Times Square has a franchise in Seattle.
Seattle also has a Todai. Nothing better than all-you-can-eat sushi!
This is the jersey that I recently bought off eBay. Why do I love jerseys so much?
