Downloads, I Have Them

A few people have been reading my Whip It fanfics featuring Babe Ruthless and Iron Maven without seeing the movie, which is most flattering, but still! The movie needs seeing because it's adorable and Juliette Lewis is hot. lol. I own the dvd so I haven't downloaded any torrents for the movie but a friend says this torrent is of decent quality. You

Nice. I ripped a copy of the dvd so I could watch the movie on my computer. It's nice to have it there easily for referencing when I write. Yeah, I'm that nerdy. lol. I have the sequel to a sequel all plotted out. I just need to get to writing.

I know from the pm you sent me you're aware of the fact I'm a Eurovision fangirl. Anyway, that coupled with my love of imported Japanese horror movies and other things not available in the USA caused me to purchase an all regions dvd player. They're surprisingly affordable. I have two of them now and one I've had for at least seven or eight years without anything going wrong.

If you ever decide to get one I've got mine from regionfreedvd.net and they gave me good customer service both times. I did research on the dvds before I bought from there but the JVC and Toshiba I own worked out really well.

Yes, we should. I tend to start massive Eurovision posting once all of the contestants have been chosen and videos for the song entries are up on YouTube. I throw a viewing party where we hook up my laptop to my friend's HD tv and watch it streaming live. I'm dorky enough that I keep a commentary of what I think as the show airs and then when it's all done with, I post that along with the YouTube videos of the live performances on my LJ.

My Eurovision tag sadly reveals my obsession. I got a LJ message the other day from some group for Eurovoice (?) I guess they're a Eurovision rip off? I'm sad Terry Wogan isn't doing commentary anymore. He always cracks me up. I'm just not as fond of Graham Norton.

I watch the streaming version on eurovision.tv since it has the best quality. I haven't found a BBC live version streaming online thus far. However, I do own a variety of dvds from the shows over the years that have Sir Terry's commentary on them. He was geting really bitter towards the end but, I swear, the 2003 show in Latvia would have been SO boring without his commentary.

There's a eurovision community on LJ that gives pretty good updates. I really want to go see Eurovision live someday. I think it would be the most fun thing ever.
