Oh yeah, and I burned myself with phenol this morning. I was dropping things left and right. Gaah. All that work for nothing.

I really want the LotR:FotR dvd. Both of them. All of them. Why can’t I be rich?

Happy birthday, Harry Potter! Too bad I’m not a naturally talented, slightly disheveled, orphaned but rich as Rockafeller wizard. I can read the book though. All four that are out in paperback, anyway.

Yes, I realize he’s just a piece of fiction, but he’s a damn well written piece of fiction. And the fourth book came out yesterday, so I had to get it. And The Bourne Identity. I love bookstores. I should just work for a bookstore and get loads of books. Of course, I’d never make any money cause it would all go to books. Sigh. I almost wish you could read more than one book at a time. I don’t mean read one book for a while and then read another then go back to the first, I mean two streams of novels would go into your head at the same time. But notice I said almost. Then you wouldn’t get to enjoy them so much, and you’d have less to read later. Books will never go out of style. They’re the original portable 🙂
today was a load of work for nothing. The bacteria still haven’t taken up the DNA in the right way or something like that. All that work so we can take a picture to see that nothing’s like the way it should be. Arrgh. Which means I have to pick more colonies. Another day of fun for Jenn.
Lammster and Kitt… thanks for your commenting sprees 🙂
I really really want: Carol Berg’s Transformation and Revelation, Dave Matthews Band’s Busted Stuff (which is a studio version of The Lilywhite Sessions, go fig), Goo Goo Dolls’ Gutterflower. And I really really really x1000 want the Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring DVD (theatrical and collector’s editions), the dvd player to play it, and the Art of the Lord of the Rings coffee table book. Donations cheerfully accepted.

This or That…

something new

1. Charlie Chaplin or Buster Keaton?

Keaton, only cause he could do that trick with the building falling on him but he’s standing in the window space so he doesn’t get hurt.

2. Laurel & Hardy or Abbott & Costello?

Abbott & Costello… who’s on first?

3. Marx Brothers or Three Stooges?

I hate slapstick.

4. David Letterman or Jay Leno?

Jay Leno.

5. “Saturday Night Live” or “Mad TV”?

SNL, although I hardly watch it.

6. Adam Sandler (“Mr. Deeds”) or Mike Myers (“Austin Powers”)?

Mike Myers. I don’t like Austin Powers though.

7. Jerry Seinfeld or Ray Romano (“Everybody Loves Raymond”)?

Raymond. I don’t like seinfeld, he’s too abrasive.

8. George Carlin or Bill Cosby?

Bill Cosby. I grew up with the Cosby show.

9. “Monty Python’s Flying Circus” or “Rowan & Martin’s Laugh-In”?

Monty Python.

10. Gone but not forgotten…John Belushi or Chris Farley?

Belushi, I guess. Animal house, baby!

Ring Thing…

Are you buying both the August and November DVD (or VHS) releases of the
film? If you are just buying one, which will it be and why? Is the content
of the different versions (different cuts of the film, different extras,
etc.) good marketing or corporate greed?

I will probably end up buying both the editions, if just the August VHS anyway. I’ll probably try to bum a August DVD viewing off a cousin or friend just so I can see the 10 minute preview. I am definitely buying the collector’s edition, cause I want the National Geographic dvd and the Argonath bookends. And of course, the 30 or so minutes of extra footage. Oh yeah, my name will be in the credits of the Nov. editions… so I’ll just have to get those. I like the different editions, although I’ll admit it does seem a little excessive. However, in this case I’m glad. There was so much more that needed to be told…

please buy something from my affiliates at left… I’d like to go to UPenn in the fall, and I realize that this won’t help too much, but at least it’s something… it’s worth a try.

there’s a new layout at Aspire II if you’d like to check it out. Also uses layers, hopefully everything is in its correct spot. I miss ethernet. If you want to pay $10 more each month you can get dsl for more than one comp. Then you’d only be paying $60 a month, sigh.
I really want to go to UPenn. but it’s so much money. I need to win the lottery. Or get a new job. erm.
