Summers Come And Summers Go

The most dreaded countdown of the year has begun.  There are only 3 more days left of summer vacation.  And this back to school season will be extra stressful.  Not only am I coming back to my two jobs on the 4th; I am starting my first semester of the Rutger's University Online MLIS Program the day before!!  Don't get me wrong, I am extremely excited to start the new school year; but I wish everything wasn't being thrown back at me all at once.  I almost wish the MLIS program started a week earlier so I could get myself on a study schedule before going back to work.  Oh well.  I am ready.  I am motivated.  I have a ton of support, and it will all work out!!  Besides, Fall is my favorite season.  The crisp cool air, the gorgeous colored leaves, and the smell of apple cider, pumpkins, and fresh pencils and notebooks!!  I just want to go for long hikes in the woods, carve a pumpkin and make apple pies.  Something tells me this will be a Fall I will never forget!!  

One? Two? Three?

When it comes to a movie, how many copies does a person need?  One? Two?  Apparently, we all need three copies of a single movie.  One Blue Ray copy, one DVD copy and one Digital copy.   I went to buy a movie that just came out Blue Ray.  I could not, for the life of me, find it on Blue Ray by itself.  I could buy it on a single DVD, but I have a Blue Ray player, so why would I buy a DVD copy?  In the end, I reluctantly bought the triple package sure never to use the DVD or Digital Copy.  I suppose I could find friends to give the superfluous copies to; but until then, they will take up space in my movie case.  I just wonder if I will have to go through this every time I want to buy a new release.
