On exams, brothers and bsb files

My exam is DONE! does dance of joy and relief The semester is now over, and it wasn't too bad, pretty straightforward. I finished in a bit over two hours (three hour exam) but certainly wasn't the first to leave.

Stopped by the shops at the station on my way home to grab some lunch, and my brother was there (he was working at a place nearby). We had a good old natter, particularly about my trip, and he bought me chips. He really can be quite sweet when he's not a pain in the butt.

Ok, he then stopped by a while after I was home and didn't leave for ages, even once I started watching some of the BSB videos I haven't seen yet, he kept talking. Back to annoying. Though we had this conversation.
Me: I've already watched their Behind the Music.
Him: So did they all turn out to be gay?
Me: using picture of group on screen, points to Kevin Well, he's married
Him: interrupts To a guy?

Then when I said that Nick had dated Paris Hilton, he commented that he wouldn't look twice at Paris, he really didn't understand the appeal. My brother's ideal woman (apart from my sister-in-law) is Audrey Hepburn.

Everyones posts about buying Never Gone and getting BSB concert tickets make me happy! Apart from some jealousy about getting to see them in concert, but I remain positive that they will tour down here! I'd do a little pitch about buying the album and supporting them, but if you are going to buy it, you have or will, and if you're not, you're not. But if you've been downloading and enjoying the BSB footage I've shared, and the songs that have been around, I hope you are going to buy it :)

For keeping up with BSB news/reviews/articles/links/appearances etc, I recommend nevergone_news, a well-compiled daily newsletter.

AJ and Nick on Rove from last night

According to a variety.com article (gacked from ohnotheydidnt), Court TV has bought the rights to all 22 episodes of "Fastlane," and will air two episodes of the Warner Bros.-produced show each Saturday starting July 2. If anyone wants a fun, incredibly slashy buddy show for the summer and have that channel, you should check it out :)

Also, I've seen mention that the Boys are on the Early Show on Wednesday the 15th, not Friday as originally scheduled. And this reminder probably won't do any US people any good as it's already Wednesday for them. And speaking of the Early Show, can anyone capture the behind the scenes footage of the Boys on the Early Show from the CBS website here? Lots of footage of the fans arriving (::looks at people who were there:: *g*), some cute footage of the Boys including Nick trying to cure AJ of the hiccups and a bit of AJ, Howie and Nick jamming, and a message from the group to fans.

Aussie interview from last night that I just captured and uploaded. Nick compares himself to Jessica Rabbit, Nick and AJ discuss who gets to be the 'bad boy', they talk about the MJ verdict, and the real cause of the hiatus is revealed. The ringtone song is brought up (and sung) again. I'm fairly sure AJ isn't suddenly more tattooed, but that it's a long sleeved tshirt. I only just realised that Nick is wearing a shirt with a skull on it! I bet AJ picked that out for him.

trumpeterofdoom had this up already, but I figured I'd toss it up too.

There are a heap of files available in posts in this journal in the last month. I'm not taking them down before I go, no need. Here's a hopefully-complete list of what's available, if you missed any.
