You know what’s really stupid?

Regionized DVDs. I just tried to watch McVicar* on my laptop (knowing that I couldn’t play it on my DVD player, as it is a region 2 DVD) and I got the same error message I’ve always gotten when I’ve tried to play it, even back on my Dell. I had to switch regions, which, all right I don’t have a problem doing. I’m not that lazy. But it tells me that I can only switch back and forth between regions a certain number of times before my laptop explodes.

Or something.

This is a disgrace. Why make regionized DVDs? I really don’t get why it has to be done. In an age where I’m still not allowed to go around taking care of people who irritate me, can we not make DVDs that play anywhere? They make players that are all region friendly; why can’t that be the norm?

Speaking of me not being allowed to take care of, to “end” if you will (to quote the crazy cat guy --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23Te7QAsH6w) people who annoy me. Um… where was I going with this…

That’s right. I have a Christmas list and it’s short, really. Yeah I’m a girl and I don’t want a lot for Christmas, how about that? Anyhow. On my list. I want a genie to grant me three wishes. Any three I want, excluding the “infinite wishes” bullshit. Hell yeah, three wishes.

*McVicar was only made on Region 2 DVDs, apparently because they only thought that English women found Roger Daltrey hot. There's a scene in the movie where he's doing pull-ups, and you can see his entire body bulging with muscles. Now, I'm not one who's generally into bulging muscles, but seriously! And there's even a page on some dude's blog dedicated to Roger Daltrey's arms, I kid you not. Even now, when he's in his mid-60's, he's in incredible shape.

Myself, I'm more of a Pete Townshend lover. Always have been -- the dark hair and the blue eyes, the voice...
