Justice League: Doom

Watching DVDs on the computer is nice but sometimes it's better to watch them on TV. So after some thinking, I decided to get myself a new DVD player. This one is by Sony and it only set me back $40.

Batman has taken measures to stop each member of the Justice League should they ever go rouge or sub-come to mind control from outside forces.

It's just that, 9 out of 10 times, they always get broken. I've never  kept a single year year's resolution that I've made and I can't even remember what half of what them were. Most of them were probably broken in a week or less anyway. Just what is it about a new year that makes us so eager to change ourselves or strive towards new goals? Does a new year bring a fresh start? A chance at a new begin
