Reader beware - this is a terribly uninteresting post

[erilyn]

In lieu of real content, I will share with you all some of my goals for the weekend.

# Finish fandom project
# Finish non-fandom project
# Figure out how to convert stuff to dvd format and burn
# Buy clothes, particularly tops for work - failed, there was nothing worth buying
# Watch new eps of Lost, Veronica Mars, more DS and Pros, preferably with company
# Usual boring shit around the house

What would greatly facilitate me reaching these goals would be for the annoying headaches that have been bugging me all week (I even missed some work) to go away.

How about a meme too?
Name a CD you own that no-one else on your friends list does:
Babylon 5: Z'ha'dum by Christopher Franke. Soundtrack to the final ep of Season 3.

Name a book you own that no-one else on your friends list does:
A century-old two-volume Chambers Encyclopedia. Ok, that's more of a family thing. How about the novelisation of the pilot of Space: Above and Beyond.

Name a movie you own on DVD/VHS/whatever that no-one else on your friends list does:
"The Slipper and The Rose". A musical of Cinderella starring Richard Chamberlain as the Prince, and Annette Crosby as the Fairy Godmother. Lovelovelove this movie, it's fabulous. Pity the dvd is kinda crap, and our over fifteen years old taped-from-tv copy is dying.

Name a place that you have visited that no-one else on your friends list has:
Rocca di Orca - a ruined fort on a high hill in Tuscany, that loomed about the farmhouse that my sister and I stayed at. Gorgeous view, and bloody impregnable looking (it was only taken once, through treachery). And I quite possibly spelt that wrong.

Tell me if I'm wrong about being the only one for any of these *g*.

me? mememe pick me? Although possibly you feel you would rather stab yourself in the eye than drive to my lovely home suburb again that soon, which I would certainly understand. But I have all those things! And also you could see my NEW CAR, which is very SHINY and PRETTY and ADORABLE and also SHINY <33333 yes. so.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Yes, yes that is exactly how I feel about driving to your place, I have to spork ready and waiting actually.

But to see the NEW CAR, I'll put aside my qualms.

sleep is for the weak!

I have to spork ready and waiting actually.

Ha, a spork is exactly the eye-stabbing implement I was picturing; clearly we are PSYCHIC TWINS. Also, car beats spork yay! It's like a surrealist version of rock paper scissors. car spork fish.

Er...right. So, Saturday or Sunday?

But insanity is for everyone!

And I'm so glad that our psychic bond meant you could translate that, as it is possible I meant to type 'the spork'. But I admit nothing.

Either day is fine by me, cause I have nothing else planned yet am a generous and accomodating person.

Tomorrow, then? Might work better, because Chris is coming by to give me a driving lesson (in my CAR! which is SHINY!) at 12 on Sunday, and I'm not sure how long that'll take.

Re: But insanity is for everyone!

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Sounds good! Have you got Lost and VM, or should I be finding a torrent stat? *g*

OH MY GOD, THE HEADS! ARGH!

Re: But insanity is for everyone!

[hnix.livejournal.com]

Nope, I've got 'em. I was saving them to watch on the weekend, happily enough.

NO-ONE EVER EXPECTS THE HEADS! MUAHAHAHA!!!heads!

I LOVE that movie.

LOVELOVELOVELOVELOVELOVE!!!!!

I have owned it in some form or another for years now.

I may have cheered in the store when I discovered the soundtrack was available again.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! Most people have never heard of it, apart from a bunch of my sister's friends who we addicted to it when they were in high school *g*.

After I posted, it did occur to me that if anyone else was going to have it, it'd probably be you :)

And the soundtrack is available? Oooh.

[lincolnkw.livejournal.com]

The Sherman Brothers can do very little wrong musically. And Gemma Craven's song "Tell Him Anything" is one of my all-time favorites.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Tell Him Anything is fantastic. Actually, I boo-boo'd in my original post, I have two VHS copies, one off tv, one bought. The sound is pretty crappy on the bought one, the main reason I haven't gotten around to getting the dvd yet. Have you got the dvd? The reviews on amazon are mostly positive (except for the colour).

[lincolnkw.livejournal.com]

The DVD is unedited! They put back in the footage that is missing from the VHS, mostly small stuff and bits of songs that were trimmed but I think it amounts to about 13 minutes or thereabouts.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Time for some shopping at amazon! :)

[lincolnkw.livejournal.com]

lets see,

Original full-length British version (143 minutes)
audio commentary by the director
"making of" featurette
widescreen format
interview with the Sherman brothers

What are you waiting for???

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

To figure out what else I'm gonna get from amazon at the same time. I'm definitely sold on the dvd now *g*.

[claire.livejournal.com]

so when are you going to be free so we can wallow in the Pros and DS and boy footage?

Hmmm?

(I am crawling out from under RL and trying to immerse myself back in fandom. Also I need a shower).

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

I might be free later on today, if I get some shit done (how's the story going?). But we need to do this soooooon, definitely :)

[claire.livejournal.com]

The story is going suckingly, thanks for asking, and that's not suckingly in the fun way either. If Chris doesn't start behaving I'm gonna have to spank him.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Spanking? Spanking would be good :)
