New trivial things to obsess over.

My Netflix Queue. I'm on the 3-at-a-time plan, which, with shipping times, averages out to be 3 discs per week. I get dvds of tv series, and I try to stagger them so that I get one dvd from a series per week, so that every week I get an disc of X-Files, a disc of Stargate, etc. Naturally, it takes forever to get the Queue arranged properly, but I don't want to risk getting too many of any one show all at once. So, I'm almost done with Babylon 5, and Stargate will run out soon after that. I've added The Lone Gunmen (an X-Files spin-off) to take the place of Stargate, and I've added a dozen actual movies to come in later. Still, I'm staggering these so that every week I'll get "series #1", "series #2", "movie". Months down the Queue, Millenium replaces X-Files, I finally catch up where I quit watching Star Trek years ago, and I see what the big deal is about Alias. But! what if I don't like Alias? What if Jennifer Garner gets on my nerves after I've gone to all the trouble to stagger it against Millenium and Deep Space Nine? What if I get two discs of the same show in a row? Oh! the risks we take! Ah, yeah, so anyway... oh nevermind.
