*flop*
We're officially out of Starsky and Hutch episodes XD But that's okay, because I'm using my B&N gift card to get some seasons on DVD (they're surprisingly cheap, bwee!) Anyone in the area - Barnes & Noble is having a sale starting June 2, I believe, and the dude at the store told me it'll be going for most of June, where you can buy two DVDs and get a third free. This also counts with box sets and seasons of TV shows.
I need to search LJ for icon communities and make some screencaps. caitirin is having a marathon crocheting session, working on this awesome shawl, and one of the episodes we just watched was one where Starsky got injected with some poison and had 24 hours to live. I knew this was the first season, for heaven's sake, but it was so freaking stressful XD I need to watch it again now that I know how it turns out so that I can appreciate all the hugging and hand-holding and declarations of friendship.
And only tangentially related - 70's detectives to 30's detectives to a hard-boiled style of narration to Corwin - I've been rereading the first five Amber books, like you do, and I keep noticing all of these new things. Like the fact that Corwin has this long mental monologue about how his current basic philosophy depends on the idea that people can truly change, not just modify existing traits, and then in the next book, he finds out that Julian - with whom he's had a relationship of constant mutual animosity since, as far as we know, birth - no longer hates him and actually wants to help him. Ahaha continuity = love. It's so nice to be rewarded for paying attention when you read something. I <3 these books.
