Happy (slightly belated) Birthday and Serenity Day, raynedanser! Happy Birthday, ukcalico!

I really am a bit slow at times. I got a flyer about my school reunion a fortnight or so ago, but I've been having problems remembering the date (when I thought about it, which isn't much, as I have mixed feelings about it *g*). I checked the flyer again last night and it finally clicked why I was having problems remembering - Friday October 18th isn't a real date this year. I've emailed the organiser, but really, as our year goes (and our attempted reunions), this is pretty much par for the course.

You know, I hope one of the videos for I Still or Crawling Back To You (I'm assuming they'll make one) has Howie drinking tea. From Millenium, the Show Me The Meaning video has it, and from Black and Blue, The Call (tea of dooooooooom!) It'd be a shame to break the trend.

Club rugby grand final this afternoon. C'mon Eastwood (though Uni beat them convincingly two weeks ago, so my hopes aren't strong)! I'd like one team I support to make it this year (NSW almost did, but Wallabies were never in it).

We now have divx capable dvd player. Thank you to everyone who offered recommendations - I went with the Pioneer DV-383 as it was available from JB Hifi for a nice price and the Pioneer we have has been so reliable. I've only come across 2 avi files it hasn't been able to play properly, Moebius parts 1 and 2. The audio is very out of synch and the video is weird too, it might be the frame rate or something? I'm gonna try re-encoding them and see how they go.

I really should get back to my study before the rugby. Bah.

They are making I Still, though I do not know about any tea.

Oooh might want to try that. How much was it?

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

$139 at JB Hifi. The other most recommended models were the Philips DVP500 and an LG model.

I checked it out and does this mean that it'll play burnt data cds with avi. files? Sorry for the rather silly question but I'm rather clueless about this and I'd rather find out from someone who knows than someone who's paid to tell me what they think I need to know.

It'll play burnt cds or dvds, with most mpeg and avi files (ie most of the formats that downloaded shows or movies are shared as).

That's great then. Thanks for reassuring me. I'll prob check out JBs tonight. LOL, doesn't hurt I also wanna get Nintendogs from them.

I rather liked the non date... means I could argue that I tried to attend, but the laws of physics, gravity and thermodynamics ganged up on me at the behest of space/time in general and compelled me to stay within the bounds of reason.

Heh. I'm pondering that I can't have been the first to point the mistake out to her, since the invites came out a while ago, but we haven't received a corrected flyer or anything. I'm a-thinking this reunion is gonna go the same way as the 5 year non-reunion *g*.
