I record the show on my tivo and spend a quiet hour in my room watching it each day. Sort of a mediative thing. I missed a lot of the shows in the first 3 seasons when they aired the first time because we lived out in the country and couldn't pick up the Atlanta stations. But I really, really enjoy the characters and writing, especially Delenn and Gkar. Collecting the B5 stuff just kinda happened when the spousal unit started buying the ships, then my son brought me some autographs from the actors, and it mushroomed from there. >I have some sorta collector's items - out of print old >model kits of Star Trek props, bridge, shuttlecraft, >etc., and a bunch of similar Star Wars models - droids, >Vader, ships. But I intend to build them, not keep them >for collector's value. Spouse also has a bunch of Star Wars stuff, and even some stuff from the Space 1999 series, including a huge replica of the ship. He also builds miniatures, so the collections around here are pretty overwhelming. >re: the light sabers, shame they don't actually work ><g>. but then there's the temptation of the Dark Side... One of them sort of works, it has light and sound effects, but I don't think it would do much damage. It would be neat to build a real one. >we've been less selective at our house, and have been >collecting clutter. We're working on eliminating our >collection or finding ways *not* to display it <g>. I'm on a cleaning spree myself. I decided I really no longer needed client files or software from the early 80's. Anyone want a copy of the original disks for Lotus 123 or Windows 1.0? >actually, we started getting some better wine, and built >in some shelves to display it. don't know if that >qualifies as collecting, certainly not in same league as >what you're doing... Good wine collections are nice. Proper wine storage can get real pricy though. Maur ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
