Superman Doesn't Return in Mosul

Out of all weeks! The PX (Post Exchange) in Mosul has been great with DVD releases since I've arrive. They would even have the DVDs on the shelves on Monday instead of Tuesday in the states. But just my luck, this week they did not have the Superman Returns DVD nor any other new media releases for that matter.

Now I know Casie will be buying my Superman: Ultimate Collector's Edition 14-Disc Box set this week at Best Buy, but I just wanted a glimpse. Can't a man salivate at the DVD cover art of his boyhood hero's return to DVD? Somehow looking at this cover art spread online doesn't do it justice.
I know, your thinking poor Ben. I know things could be worse (read previous entry), but it is the simple things that keep me a little happier about being away from home.

You're not making yourself sound like the coolest guy in the world. Drooling over a DVD?

I didn't realize it was a 14 disc set until I was talking to Chris earlier today. At first I thought, "HA, funny." Then I realized...at some point, I'm going to be forced to watch ALL 14 discs. While nothing can be worse than the 1988 "Adventures of Superboy," I'm not looking forward to 14 DVDs of Superman.

Don't worry, I'm still going to buy it for you tonight...or will I?

uh, superboy is the bomb and Casie knows it. Didn't we watch like 5 episodes one afternoon and I cooked the rotten mac and cheese. Who knew it could go bad in the box! haha.

14 discs...wow stop buying crap I won't be able to get you anything for Christmas...not that I would condone this behavior! ;)


Take care!

Hey Ben,
Glad to hear you are doing ok. I love that you have the rapping jingle bells dog in your "second library". I do believe those are only available at LOWES where I happen to work. I bought one how can you resist the rapping doberman??? Well I wish wel for you and your fam for the upcoming holiday season.
