various and eventuals aka catching up, holidays, movies and whatnot

[janie_tangerine]

Alright, vacation with friends is over and I'm alone in the city again, with a heat that raised up at least three grades in the last week. *sigh* Right, it's August and I'm in Italy and it happens every time, so I should be expecting that and I was but argh, it's becoming unbearable this round. I just hope it cools off a bit soon.

Woo! GO you in catching up! I'm nowhere near even trying to read them all - I make it easy on myself and only read the slash! And I know I won't get much more writing done, but I do have one for you at beta right now, and I'm hoping to maybe do one or two others... perhaps! ;-)

When you say records, do you seriously mean records, or are we talking cds? If you like women singer-song writers, you should love the Carole King! And yay for Steve Earle! I must seriously get some of his stuff too. So many artists, so little money!

Yay for your birthday trip - I hope it's awesome! ;-)

[janie_tangerine]

I talk cds, even if I'd rather buy vinyls. I'd love being able to buy those, but I don't have a player. So cds ;) and I'm so definitely checking out Carole King as soon as I get out the Lucinda Williams phase. Steve Earle is the most awesome thing ever. And I don't have as many cds of the guy as I'd like but here you don't really find many *sigh*.

And fic? YAY! *rubs hands and waits* and I really hope you like the entry below this one ;) ♥

Your birthday vacation sounds lovely. Do you know which operas you'll be seeing?

I was at a music store last week and they had a bunch of Copperhead Road CD on a wall for $5.99. I thought of you (and Bubs)!

Other than what was posted today, I think I've finally caught up on the luau in terms of reading but I have one more story to write for Zelda. Unlike you I couldn't handle writing for all the Queens, as I am just barely coping with the ones I did do!

When I saw Maybelline New York in Batman, I was like, no worries. The Joker can't kill him. He's immortal!

Since I'm returning the day you're leaving, I'll say good-bye and Happy Birthday now.

[janie_tangerine]

Yeah, as long as something new doesn't turn up I'll be seeing three. This, this and this. I don't know the last one but if I manage to buy it before fine, if I don't I trust the music to be good anyway ;) The first one is a good one while the second is some of the best he wrote, even if it's kind of not mentioned anywhere.

Oh, so many Copperhead Roads are a very delightful vision! And I need to watch some Wire before going -nods-. I need to write Zelda's story, too, and there are at least another couple I'd like to get done, but I'll see.

Ha, was the same for me with Maybelline! Though watching him dubbed was so strange. I couldn't place the voice and I think I need to watch it in original, I so do.

Happy birthday to you too in advance then! Though I hope to have something up for you when you come back, if I manage. But I should, if everything goes to plan.

[elliotsmelliot]

Oh, a birthday treat from you would be delightful!

I've skipped ahead and I'm re-watching season 4 of The Wire which is my favourite.

Half of Mr. Maybelline is his voice!

I don't know any of those operas but enjoy!

[janie_tangerine]

I have two ideas actually. I don't know which one I'll go for but I think they might be suited ;)

I hope to at least finish 2 and start 3. The former should be doable, the latter I don't know. And dubbing is evil, if only the friend I had with me understood English enough to see a movie without subtitles.. I'd have gone there in the first place but no such luck. I hate dubbing. And thanks, I'll sure enjoy my opera time! ;)

[falafel_musings]

I liked Dark Knight also. I was shocked that *cough! cough!* was killed off. I like Maggie Gyllenhaal sooo much better too. But yeah, Heath Ledger's Joker stole the show and Gary Oldman was great in everyman!hero mode. I may be the only person on LJ who feels very 'Meh?' about this Maybelline man.

Enjoy your holiday!

[janie_tangerine]

Maggie surely can act MUCH better than that other one. Who was actually the main reason for which the first Nolan Batman ranks below both of the Burton movies while this one is probably my second favorite. Heath Ledger was so stealing the show indeed, and Gary Oldman is one of my favorite actors so I just might be biased, but he plays Gordon so well. And well, Maybelline probably isn't the best thing ever but I enjoy the character a lot and I find him pretty interesting. Also, I love his eyelashes, but that's taste ;)

thanks!

welcome back :)
Ash and Ellen were so awesome!!! I want Andy back too :)

[janie_tangerine]

I sooo want them back too. Resurrection anyone? ;)

[polvodestrella]

It's very hot in Spain these days, too. I guess it's the damn Mediterranian weather. I spend the whole time sitting in front of the fan and drinking water. If I could, I'd live in the tub with cold water in it.

[waine]

Oh Janie, poor thing. Its hot here too. I live in the South, so its hot. Today we play mini golf and I was soaked at the end, and so was my friend, and it was in the shade. It was almost 100! When I go away to Universty(the second uni I am going to)my building will have no ac. Gasp. Guess I need lots of fans! Wow, so where did you go with your friends? Are you uberrich? You always traveling. : ) Buying Cds, going to Concerts. Is Pesso in the Italian Rivera, or around south Italy Like Capri. Those are my favorites places in Italy, besides my favorite city which is Venice. Ok, and on the Supernatural note, some good news and bad news. I was reading the supernatural Magazine today, and it said, Ash may not be dead, that all that was found was a charred hand, so he may return. so kudos. I want Ellen back too, but where the heck is Joe? Andy was kinda creepy and got on my nerves. I say bring back Ruby, but its confirmed shes done. Also seeing theier dad again whould be nice, hes really hot. Hes Irish too. In season 4 its gonna focus a lot

[janie_tangerine]

Haaaa, the glossy pic! YUM! I'd totally gush over that too.

I echo on the fans. I actually keep mine always on, I can't do otherwise. And no, I'm not uberrich. My friends were here at my house and now I'm going with my parents in a place that they're lending them, so.. ;) Pesaro is in the center of Italy, more on the Adriatic side.

I'd trade Ruby willingly if it means for Ash to be back -nods- and Dean climbing up from hell looks awesome. I mean, who the hell else could? ;)

[janie_tangerine]

God, I did the same thing. Also, today I needed to go to the post office, went, and it was hotter in there than outside. I second the tub idea!
