Bits and bobs

[_jems_]

My mother called me earlier and right after I hung up I realized it was my parents' wedding anniversary. They're not big on celebrations (and, in fact, forget it more often than not) so I'm not too bothered. I make a note to call her when I've finished Conan

Anniversaries are strange like that. Glad you figured something out with your parents.

As for FNL--I'm glad you're keep watching, even if you aren't in love with the show. Smash could use some more fans, but whatever.

I think their anniversary is extra forgettable because it's such a random date, not at all the usual time for a wedding anniversary.

FNL really doesn't work as well for me as it does for others, but once I started thinking of it as a fandom show, things went much more smoothly. I do wonder if it doesn't benefit from marathoning, though, at least for me.

Um, STOPPED thinking of it as a fandom show.

Okay, that's it, off to bed with me!

You totally made me remember that my order of FNL is coming probably tomorrow or on wednesday.
:P

What do you work with??? I totally remembered that I have haven't asked you that before. ;)

Now I'm gonna' switch to swedish:

Hur mycket är frakten om man beställer från amazon.co.uk??
Funderar nämligen på att beställa Tru Calling - complete series. ;)

Where did you order it from, if I may ask? I love AxelMusic, but their recent rash of back-ordered items (ALL the DVDs I ordered back in June/July didn't reach me until at least a week after the US release date, when before I've always gotten them a week early) has me worried.

What do you work with???
I'm a translator, mostly for TV (TV4 in particular).

Frakten på Amazon är oftast mellan £2-3 om man bara beställer nån enstaka sak. Men det stora problemet är att de lägger på momsen, så Tru Calling blev att kosta över £8 innan frakten ens kommit till. Nu fick jag ju den gratis, men så är det. Play har gratis frakt och om man handlar för över £20 betalar de också momsen (är jag rätt säker på i alla fall. Jag kan ha blandat ihop den sajten med nån annan). Men jag kollade på deras pris på Tru Calling: £34.99! Men annars känns det som om de försöker hålla jämn takt med Amazon vad gäller prissättning.

I order it from AxelMusic, it was SO cheap that I couldn't resist.
I payed 234(SEK) for it.
Next up I think I will buy either Heroes s1 or Dexter and The Black Donnellys.

Cool work!

Jag tror nog att jag håller mig till Axelmusic.com och Discshop.se, då slipper jag ju momsen. ;)
Discshop har ju en del grejer man kan beställa....typ Dead like me s1 för 199:- som var mitt senaste inköp. :P

Heh, I think I paid about 40 for FNL. (But that was because I had a voucher from a movie I'd canceled.)

Tja, på Discshop får du ju betala moms, men den är ju inbakad i priset, som vanligt. Själv har jag nyss köpt några säsonger av Cityakuten på CDON.com, för de hade det billigaste priset (visserligen på den norska versionen, men vad bryr jag mig? Den har ju originalspråket och texten tar jag alltid bort).

Wow, 40 years?! That's totally amazing. My parents got divorced after 27.

[_jems_]

It is kind of amazing. I never did understand why a couple would stay together for so long before divorcing. But then again, I've never been married...

[pastaqueen]

Yeah, it struck me as odd too. I think my dad just finally went off the deep end. He told us he was going on a business trip to North Carolina and never came back. Never went to North Carolina either.

But hey, 40 years! Way to go!
