Agonizing over something stupid...
Apr. 7th, 2006 10:28 pmWe've been making an effort to go through the massive collection of videotapes we acquired through the years and get rid of the ones we now have on DVD. So far, so good, right? Well, we've started delving into the tapes I made of BtVS and Babylon 5... when they first aired.
Oh yeah, the agonizing part has started.
And it's just so stupid.
I *have* those episodes on DVD now, with commentaries and extras and no commercials... and yet... and yet... there's just something so totally *wrong* about simply throwing the old tapes away. The ones that I painstakingly labeled. I even bought special Avery VHS labels that I printed off, neatly listing the episodes on each tape in my favorite font du jour (which was usually Comic Sans, but not always).
Thankfully, I did do a pretty decent job of listing all the contents, so I can tell which tapes I need to keep because I recorded JM on the Craig Kilborn Show on it or, earlier, I happened to record Gillian Anderson on the Tonight Show (my X-Files!Love somewhat overlapped my BtVS!Love) or something of the sort.
But I know in a day or two, I'm going to have to force myself to toss all the other ones that I don't need anymore... and I don't know how I'm going to do it. And yeah, it's stupid, but it doesn't make it any easier.
