Monkees season 1 DVDs get! Ah, they're so purty--apparently, they're the exact same discs as in the old box sets, only in affordable packaging (seriously, $80 for a set with pretty packaging was ridiculous; I much prefer the less-pretty packaging for $30, thanks...). So there are some eps with commentaries--for anyone who has the eps, which are ( Read more... )

I finally made shelf space to fit the new Kolchak books in! I haven't even started on the Kolchak: the Night Stalker Compendium book yet--that book really is so huge, it's daunting--at 670 pages, I've had college textbooks shorter than that. I did read through the Monsters Among Us graphic novel, though--aside from a couple of objectionable ( Read more... )

The 30-Day Disney movie, Day 15: The first movie you saw

Beauty and the Beast. This was, indeed, my very first Disney movie, and one that I absolutely adored. And it shows--Belle is my favorite Princess, Adam/Beast is my favorite Prince, and Lumiere, Cogsworth, and Mrs. Potts are my favorite secondary characters ( Read more... )

So, response to the first chapter of the wax museum fic is going well so far. X3 Glad I decided to post it today; I'd like to get the ghost town fic updated for the actual Halloween update, since Kolchak and Halloween go hand in hand...

And speaking of Kolchak, I saw Darren McGavin's ep of Murder, She Wrote, which is my first official MSW ep. ( Read more... )

I am amused. Looking through my purchasing history on Amazon reveals very clearly how my main interests have changed throughout the last five years. Behold:

2007--Various Disney soundtracks, plus a couple Pokémon-related things
2008--Whole bunch of Yu-Gi-Oh and Tintin books and DVDs
2009--Whole bunch of Rockapella CDs and Legend of Zelda manga, ( Read more... )

So, yesterday, I was discussing with iris_happydays and hogan_macgyver about Murder, She Wrote, and how I hadn't seen anything of it. Well, they both recommended it to me, and I have good news for them: next Saturday, my satellite provider will be showing the 1992 ep with Darren McGavin guest-starring. So, naturally, there's no way I'll be missing that! I'll let you both ( Read more... )

The 30-Day Disney movie, Day 10: Your favorite love song

Definitely the title song from Beauty and the Beast. It's a very sweet song with and amazing animated sequence to go with it. The lyrics are also very thought-provoking and make yet moving at the same time: "Bittersweet and strange/finding you can change/learning you were wrong...In other ( Read more... )

30-Day Disney movie, Day 9: Your favorite original character (Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy, etc.)

This was a tough one, but I ended up choosing Donald. I have to admit, it's not for his cartoons (though I've learned to like them), but for two other reasons. The first reason is that he has the most awesome extended family ever--Scrooge McDuck ( Read more... )

Aha! I *knew* there was a subconscious reason why I decided to name my Articuno in my Nuzlocke run after Tony Vincenzo. I DVR'd Simon Oakland's ep of The Outer Limits, where he plays the bird-like Empyrian, and when I watched it again, I couldn't help but notice that the crest of feathers on the Empyrian's head does vaguely (yes, it's a bit of a ( Read more... )

I was very pleased to see yesterday that there is yet another new LeBeau-Newkirk friendship story out there! I was telling Faye that before this past June, if you put LeBeau and Newkirk's names in the character filter, my fics numbered as 7 out of 11. Now, if you put their names in the filter, my fics are 8 out of 20! Loving it. I hope this ( Read more... )
