DVDs and Marriage

This past weekend, while NOT going to Disneyland (aka, driving to Anaheim, parking and then being rejected at the front gates…damn you blackout dates!!!) I watched yet another film on TV that I own on DVD…which reminded me of a recent New Rule on Real Time with Bill Maher…

New Rule: Scientists must explain why we will stop and watch a movie on cable even though we own that exact same movie on DVD, and could watch it any time we want. I call it “Shawshank” Syndrome. And I’ve realized that DVD’s are a lot like marriage: when it’s there every single night, just sitting right in front of you, for some reason, you don’t feel like putting it in.

Damn you Ronin. You got me again.
