I seriously need to stop going there...but Paris has very few options when it comes to movie and game rental...

Today, I rented Clerks., Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Dogma, and Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back. All were on DVD, 'cept Chasing Amy, which was on VHS. I also bought a used copy of Clerks: The Animated Series (from GameXchange, using store credit from a few GBA games I traded in).

Clerks. probably works fine, but I'm saving that to watch with a few friends who haven't seen it yet (I've already seen it). Me and Dillon watched Dogma and Mallrats okay. Then the trouble began. I couldn't get my VCR to work, so Chasing Amy was out of the picture. Then when I put the Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back disc into the DVD player, the menu showed up, saying "DISC 2: BONUS MATERIAL!" ...I looked for Disc 1, and it wasn't present. Gahh!

Luckily, The Animated Series saved the day in the end. That was awesome.

But, seriously, I rented this stuff from Hastings. I've had bad experiences with Hastings (them forgetting to take off the security things, scratched discs that make them unplayable, and missing discs [but that had previously only been limited to special features discs missing]). This is the last straw..actually, I think they didn't give me the right change either, 'cause the receipt says I should've gotten 8, but I can only find 3 in my pocket...

But in the end, I shouldn't be so trusting of Hastings. I should check the movies and games before I leave the store...I'd take my business to Blockbuster, but movies would be more expensive there.

Actually, Hastings's prices is whack, too. I found a new copy of Killer7 for 19.99. I looked at the used rack, and found a used version of Killer7 for 19.99. And right next to it was a clearance rental version for 19.99. WTF?

There's also some sort of conspiracy of never having Negima number 6. They always have volumes 1-5, and 7-whatever number it's up to now. I need number 6!

Yep, that's my rant.

Also, I hung out with Jessica today, too. It was cool, though too early (1 PM - 4).
