Oh. My. God.

Ok, they finally aired the finale of "Friends" here. I used to never miss that show, and while I didn't regularly watch it the last couple of seasons, I wasn't missing this. And luckily, I was pretty unspoilt for it, despite the huge delay in it airing, so that was nice.

First, we get a phonecall halfway through. I rush over, and it was fricking market research - I think. The guy got as far as "Hi, this is Some Guy and I'm from AC Niel-" and I was "really. bad. timing. It's the final episode of Friends!" and hung up.

Then, in the final ad break, before everything got resolved, they were advertising the dvds of Friends. They had a split screen, top half showing the Rachel in her wedding dress coming into Central Perk in the first ep. The bottom half had, you guessed it, a shot from the very end of the episode. Thanks a fucking lot. That's right down there with the lotto ad in the ad break of the episode of "Mad About You" where they had their baby, and they told us in the ad that they had a girl - deliberately spoiling the show. That was years ago, and we weren't that big fans, but my sister and I still hold a grudge about that, it was the stupidest, most pointless ad ever. What the hell does it have to do with the fucking $2 lottery anyway???

In nicer news, i_naiad and girl_clone came over, and we watched Pros and Sentinel and pop, and there was much squee.

Oh, another question, have we had the final of 'sex and the city' yet?

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

yes, I only remember cause my sister watched it, and she never watched SATC. Not sure why she wanted to see the last one...

Damn. That was another one dad was going to tape for me.

I could try looking for it online if you like?

Like shareaza or something? That'd be cool.

I've decided to upgrade to ADSL soon - it costs the same as ihug's dial up, and ozemail have said that way I can keep my website, even if I abandon my email address (too much spam).

Haven't been able to find it on Bit Torrent :(

Thanks, hnix made it for me years ago, and I don't use it often, but I have to keep it for moments like this ;)

BTW: I just now watched the TRL Italy clips I downloaded the other day and neither winamp nor windows media player will play the Interview 1 clip.
Did anybody else say something about this or is just my download messed up? The other clips work perfectly fine.

Plays in WMP for me, and no one has said anything. I'd try downloading it again, maybe?

[saba1789.livejournal.com]

Okay, I'll try that. Thanks!

Hope it works this time!
