Ahh, yes, I've seen some of those. They're good. :lol:
|
I love that it's mostly history and literature she tackles.
Speaking of: Hark, a vagrant: 44 Cos, you know. |
Ha, that's good. :lol:
Speaking of Orwell, I'm pretty pissed that the DVD of the 1984 version of 1984 seems to be out of print... I can buy it, but for, like, $30. :/ I got to watch it on Netflix, though, and it was really good. I'd like to own it, but... man. |
No way to legally download it?
|
Maybe, but I just really dislike paying for digital copies of things. If I'm going to pay money, I'd like to have it in a physical form that won't be lost if my computer breaks, and that I can take to other people's houses or other players to enjoy.
|
Agreed! I'm a very tactile person. I prefer the actual article too. Being the bibliophile that I am, people have offered to buy me digital readers in the past, but I much prefer to have something I leaf through and smell the ink on. And the same is true of Dvds. I endeavored to get myself a region free DVD player, so that I could watch Boosh and other overseas shows on it, rather than download them.
|
Aren't there Boosh DVDs for our region?
|
Well, now there are. But when I bought them, they were a few months off. I'm thinking about getting the complete collection in region 1 so I could take it with me 'round the states and be able to watch it. Plus it has an additional disc of extras.
|
Oh, phew. I had priced the DVDs and was hoping to nab a few for Christmas. Boosh really has excellent replay value. That's a video game term, but I'm going to go ahead and apply it here. :lol: It doesn't really matter if you've seen an episode five times already, it's still funny.
Extreme sports calendar gets me every time... |
Oh good! They are so worth it. I was actually thinking about it today, in terms of finances, and I thought to myself "you know, the radio show is pretty cheap. Cherry could get a good product for her money with that."
|
Yeah, I'll need to get all such things eventually. But first I must get a job, I'm pretty much out of spending money. :lol:
|
Yeah. Might as well get rollin' in the job market now, get us in the swing of things...
|
Us? How many times have I told you, Biggles! I like you, but I will not marry and support you! I told you that after I bought you that BMW that was it! And, okay, I did go on to buy you that fancy jewelry set and signed mold of Noel Fielding's leg, but really! No more! :gonk:
|
But... I need another anklet so the mold and I can be twinsies! It's rather imperative, otherwise I just look like a gaudy nutter carryng around a hunk of plaster all day. You dream crusher.
Nah, I'm just checking out the classifieds and such. And got myself a food handler's licence if I end up in a restaurant... and such. |
FINE, I'll get you another leg mold, but if you start asking for molds of something vulgar, that is where I draw the line. :talk2hand:
Good luck! I'm beginning to think I'm going to have to settle for a job in fast food if I ever want to be hired. The job market here is the worst. Not even my mom can find a job. |

:lol: Noted.
MAN, NOW I'M GOING TO HAVE TO COME UP WITH AN ENTIRELY NEW CHRISTMAS GIFT FOR YOU! |
Baring a ticket to L-town, there's always this:
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...500_AA300_.jpg how much do I want that |
But how could I buy that for you when I now have to buy one for myself?
|
Buy one get one free? It's a better solution than re-gifting.
|
But what if I want to keep BOTH for myself so I can make Holmes be startled by his twin! Think of all the dramatic fights I can enact between them when they've only got a little cocaine left!
|
That made me laugh. Why does Holmes related humour make me laugh? I have unresolved issues I think.
Here is another exchange I had that still makes me giggle: Quote:
|
On a completely unrelated note, you're an anglophile, you surely MUST love Doctor Who, right?
|
The new ones are quite well done. I'll watch them if I catch them, and I can follow what has been happening with my whole sporadic approach to it. The older ones... well, what lolz.
|
I've been watching them on BBCA, which has been playing them a bunch. But we're losing our satellite soon, so I found a website that has every single episode uploaded. Completely illegally, of course, but the player works really well, and loads fast even on my computer (which is slower than a riding mower)
I've been a bit addicted, honestly. :lol: Just the newer stuff, mind. I haven't watched the older stuff. My mom thinks I should, but uh, those weren't exactly good years for science fiction... :lol: (I mean in retrospect, not at the time) |
