Mmmm, looooong weekends are the best

I've been drinking champagne, sorry, sparkling wine (bloody French), on and off all afternoon. This was good champagne, I never used to be much of a fan, but this stuff I could keep drinking, even without peach or guava as mixers (my favourite way to drink champagne normally *g*). Funny how your tastes in food and beverages keep evolving, keeps things interesting. Thank god I finally learnt to like more vegetables than I did as a kid (ie very few). What the fuck did I have against pumpkin, seriously? Such a yummy inoffensive vegetable.

The excuse for the daytime (not gaytime, as my first attempt was) drinking was a small family lunch for Easter. We don't eat meat on Good Friday, for no real reason other than tradition and it's a good excuse to eat seafood (for the rest of the family, I'm a changling and don't like seafood).

Oh, does anyone know what was the last episode of Lost shown in Australia before the Easter break? A friend of my sister's wants some eps.

Yay, my sister has just ordered the first 3 seasons of Due South on dvd, I don't need to buy them myself anytime soon. Though technically I've bought them at the moment, as we used my amazon.ca details and credit card. Hmmm, this is dodgy ;) But its a show the whole family loves, so it's all good.

Is it wrong that I dearly hope all this BSB love and enthusiasm might translate into some good intra-BSB or crossover fic? I swear I saw someone suggest a "Backstreet's Back" challenge somewhere, I would so get behind that. I'd even say I'd try and write for it, but a) that's probably the champagne talking, and b) not a good inducement.

It might be a little late now, but did you have a look at the user reviews of dS3 on Amazon.com? Apparently the picture quality is a bit ordinary - might be worth looking into.

Pumpkin - yuck! :-P

I didn't see that, but I have sinbrat's copy of S3 at the moment, and we haven't had any issues with it, didn't notice the picture quality :)

Oh cool, that means I might get it after all.

...damn :-)

I hope it's just not that I'm unobservant about such things. But I don't recall those who own them mentioning anything, so here's hoping :)

I think the last lost episode was Episode 07: The Moth. If I can remember right, unless I missed the one after but I don't think I did. You can view the episode screen caps at this site: http://www.lost-tv.com/episodes/

Due south! I so missed that show it was like a ritual I used to share with my sister to watch it every week.

I hope it does, because I am missing the joys of bsb slash these days. No one seems to be that into it anymore. :-\

Oh and hi, I added you. :-)

Hey, welcome to the insanity. And thanks for the Lost info. My sister and I both loved Due South when it was first on, then we drifted away in the second season, and rediscovered it in the RayK era (where we were initially very confused *g*).

Once you find the pleasures of a good champagne you never look back. I'm warning you. ;-) Aaah the memories.

And thankyou for the birthday wishes earlier in the week, they were much appreciated. :-)

Chandon Pinot Noir 96, I think it was. Very rich colour. Still hasn't supplanted a good semillon in my affections, but I no longer regard champagne as little better than dishwater ;)

Mmmmm, bubbly.

And the best part about daytime drinking? You've recovered by the time you go to bed and there's no hangover *g*.

Good thinking! I gotta remember that!
