So, to further demonstrate how much of a geek I am, today at Best Buy Amanda I and were scouring the DVD aisles, a search sparked from conversing about TV shows over lunch and our recent infatuation with the show Veronica Mars, thanks to my Internet pal Monte’s praising of it over on his blog. At the end of one of the aisles was a huge sale on all things He-Man. Unfortunately, it didn’t do me a ton of good, as I already own the entire series’ of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and The New Adventures of He-Man. But, it did finally give me an excuse to stock up on She-Ra!
I got all three sets, totaling the entire 94-episode run of She-Ra: Princess of Power. Besides the awesome sale, which, by the way, was all sets were $9.99 when they generally retail for $29.99 or more, I got a bonus discount as the girl salesclerk didn’t ring in one of the sets I suppose as its not on my receipt and I ended up only spending $21.07! So, I’m now the proud owner of all of She-Ra’s otherworldly adventures, and I only ended up spending about twenty-two cents per episode!
Also, more proof against my coolness, or lack thereof, while at the mall (shooting content for the debut of RTW TV: Weekly Round Up coincidently) I was in a bookstore and recalled getting Goosebumps books there long ago. So, I strolled back for nostalgia and sure enough, they were still stocked in the same spot in the kids’ section—but then I saw something that I hadn’t expected. There’s a brand new Goosebumps series! Titled Goosebumps HorrorLand, this currently ongoing twelve-part series, from author R.L. Stine, features characters and themes from the original series’ books like Monster Blood, Night of the Living Dummy, The Haunted Mask, Deep Trouble, and Say Cheese and Die! I’m not sure when, if ever, I’ll actually get around to reading these; but, I must admit, it was either the compulsory notion recalled from collecting as a youth, or the strength of Stine’s writing and the world he created, but I certainly felt odd standing in a bookstore being excited about Goosebumps again after all this time!
Well, that’ll do it for this embarrassingly nerdy post, be back this Saturday for the debut episode of RTW TV: Weekly Round Up! Be well!
