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.

I'll get you another leg mold, but if you start asking for molds of something vulgar, that is where I draw the line.

If I ever make such a request, I'm asking you now to shoot me right through the frontal lobe. I don't ever want to degenerate/deteriorate to that level of... that.

: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:


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:

Kevin: I've sent for Dick Tracy. He's coming up the elevator now
Biggles: Oooh. On the detective front, I wish you could have sent for Sherlock Holmes <3
Kevin: Ok. -something of a long pause- I think the elevator is stuck
Steeve: Hah. Deduce yourself out of that, Holmes.

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)
