Aug. 16th, 2005 08:20 amFirst a big thank you to
tersa for linking to
paidmember, which posted about a great deal if you switch to automatic payments. Three months free, woo! Did that this morning and got my user pic upgrade because I need all those icons...really, I do...
Ahem, anyway, I got fuck all done last night except kickass Dr. Who updates to my Barnes and Nobel and Amazon UK wish lists. All the books, dvds, etc. I need are now in two handy locations. And ok I did break down and buy one book, "The Gallifrey Chronicles" with the eighth Doctor which supposedly explains his role in ending the Time Wars with the Daleks, which I'm dying to find out about. Found a used copy and the seller's already popped it in the mail for me, yay! I nearly broke down and bought "Empire of Death" as well, which is the Peter Davidson Doctor but supposedly involves Adric's ghost, and how can I possibly resist even a spiritual appearance by my best beloved companion? Maybe I'll treat myself to a copy after DDF as a gift for making it through.
Apparently both Seasons 2 and 3 of Blake's 7 are now out on dvd. The temptation was nearly overwhelming, let me tell you. Hmm, maybe I'll take up a collection for Xmas this year, the "Buy Ellie more B7" fund in lieu of gifts. Yeah, I could go for that. When I was discussing the series with
tamago Saturday night it hit me that my growing adoration for Severus Snape has some precedence in my worship of Kerr Avon from the series. Think about it, the two could've been seperated at birth, two bitchy, snarky, brainy, dangerous men with unfortunate hair and a wardrobe filled with black outfits. Heh.
Which reminds me, I will not be going to Hungary right after the show, thank the gods. However, I'm renewing my passport (just need the photos at this point) to have on hand so that I can go after that if need be. And it's a good excuse to renew the damn thing anyway, never know when I might need it.

Date: 2005-08-16 04:22 pm (UTC)Ireland is actually where I really really really really really want to go, more so than Scotland or England (although, Wales is probably second on the list :). I would be more than happy to go to Ireland for a week or more and do this. ;)
I'd love to join, though I received no email regarding it so I'm glad you posted here :) I just tried to join and it said "No!" and gave me your and Raven's names to ask, so consider me asking.
Bastards. But I am clever.

There should be a button there for you to accept the invitation.
Oh yes please invite divine_debris, missjones, and enuffistoomuch if you'd be so kind.
They are invited, and if LJ isn't sending out notifications :P, they should go to the same URL to accept the invitation to join. You may also need to add it as a Friend to be watching it. Aelf's got some kind of weird set-up where she joined as a member but it's not on her Watchlist.
