Nightly Rituals

This is actually a really cool habit. I’ve got a ton of DVD’s with unwatched bonus features. I’ve considered canceling Netflix for a month and forcing myself to watch all of my DVD commentaries.

I don’t know what it is, but there is something incredibly calming about watching a 30-minute behind the scenes look at the wardrobe department from the set of Lord of the Rings, learning about fabric dyeing and the process of aging the leather of the Rohirrim’s tunics, for example. Or makeup vs. prosthetics vs. masks: a Star Trek alien philosophy. Or the science behind the stunts in the ballet studio scene in Twilight. Every night guys. Not kidding.

Hey, everybody got their something. I’m weird. Deal with it jagweeds.
