much went on today&#8230;other than the usual purchases of DVD&#8217;s to add to the ever growing collection. :) So &#8212; on with today&#8217;s bits (because I&#8217;m sure you&#8217;re all just incredibly captivated by what I choose to spend my money on&#8230;).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B00005A8TY\/djwudicom-20\" title=\"Amazon: Spartacus\">Spartacus<\/a>: Yet another that I&#8217;ve been crazy enough to purchase sight unseen, based solely on the recommendations I&#8217;ve gotten on it &#8212; though it did seem to go quite nicely with my recent purchases of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B000056BP4\/djwudicom-20\" title=\"Amazon: Ben-Hur\">Ben-Hur<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B00003CXE7\/djwudicom-20\" title=\"Amazon: Gladiator\">Gladiator<\/a>. Besides, it&#8217;s a <a href=\"http:\/\/us.imdb.com\/Name?Kubrick,+Stanley\" title=\"IMDB: Stanley Kubrick\">Stanley Kubrick<\/a> film, who I generally really like, and the DVD is part of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.criterionco.com\/\" title=\"Criterion Collection\">Criterion Collection<\/a>, who consistently does really incredible work with their releases. This is a 2-disc set with an absolute ton of extras&#8230;looking forward to spending quite a few hours delving into this.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B000059XTZ\/djwudicom-20\" title=\"Amazon: Star Trek TOS: Vol. 21\">Star Trek TOS Vol. 21<\/a>: Finally, Paramount releases more Star Trek episodes! I&#8217;m so hoping that when they decide to put out Next Generation and Deep Space 9 they do it in season sets rather than trickling out two discs of two episodes each every few months like they&#8217;ve been doing. Anyway, enough of the soapbox&#8230;this volume contains two of the most known comedic shows that Star Trek made &#8212; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.startrek.com\/library\/episodes_tos_detail.asp?ID=68742\" title=\"Star Trek: I, Mudd\">I, Mudd<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.startrek.com\/library\/episodes_tos_detail.asp?ID=68744\" title=\"Star Trek: The Trouble With Tribbles\">The Trouble With Tribbles<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/B000059XU0\/djwudicom-20\" title=\"Amazon: Star Trek TOS: Vol. 22\">Star Trek TOS Vol. 22<\/a>: Kind of funny, actually, since the first of the two episodes on this one fits right in with the gladiatorial theme I&#8217;ve got going. Two episodes on this disc, as usual &#8212; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.startrek.com\/library\/episodes_tos_detail.asp?ID=68746\" title=\"Star Trek: Bread and Circuses\">Bread and Circuses<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.startrek.com\/library\/episodes_tos_detail.asp?ID=68748\" title=\"Star Trek: Journey to Babel\">Journey to Babel<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, that&#8217;s it. It&#8217;s almost 2am, and I&#8217;m tired.
