Hello, hello, hello!

Apologies for absence, I would have responded earlier but Ex wife, her son and her current boyfriend arrived unexpectedly so I had to make them watch "Trash". Forgotten how funny it was!

Now, in all seriousness, my last post contained absolutely no whining or dark sarcasm (which should be kept in the classroom as far as I am concerned), merely a genuine regret. Especially as I would have been able to show off my new Blue Sun teeshirt!

I would looove to come on Wednesday however, there is a distinct possibility that I could be sent to Edinburgh.
Sadly, this would be for a conference on bendy buses, not a premiere about fireflies.

If the worst comes to the worst, I will be there in a zen way.





Now I'm learning about scary

Emma!

Forgive me (please!) if I'm mistaken.
But... didn't I just see your name on the screening list for August 20th in Amsterdam?

And if it's you ... aren't you happy I told you to register and be put on the waitinglist???
Eh? Eh???
Oh, and no subtitling for the movie, they haven't finished it yet.

(Or is it old news and did I miss it? I checked this morning if your name was on the list and didn't see it. But I'm a bit sick. Really! And you could ask, after that, why are you up so late, if you're really sick? Well, I slept a lot today. So... not tired. Grrrr. I think I'll empty my bottle of very fine rosé, that would help!)
Anyhoo, I hope it's you, and not another Emma!

To all the others: you keep impressing me with all randomness! I tried to keep up in the beginning, just after Starfury, but... I can't!
Just too randomn!
I'll catch up when November draws near!

Don't you hate it when you stay out late for bowling and then lose anyway?

I have no such pains as I was out playing Bridge and won, won I tell you.

Keels, your link just demands your password, you need to either tell us it or unlock the directory to be browsable.

Oh yes, I sent a DVD along with lots of Firefly/Serenity bits, stuff that is generally available like the three trailers plus stuff from the old Fox website including cast interviews. And the full length outtakes video.

I didn't know Emma had proposed when I wrote the letter. In fact, I still haven't gotten back to her about that. Oh well, I'll put it on my to-do list.

Now to brace myself for tomorrow. It's my sister and mother's actual birthday so I have yet more running around to do although we're going to see an open air production of Shakespeare so that should be quite cool.

I've almost finished my very first ever music video thingy. As soon as I get it sorted and have uploaded it somewhere, y'all be the first to know. Or near enough, in any case.

I need to get a proper website for this kind of thing...

Bridge. You know, Bridge, card game, like a sophisticated version of Whist?

It's a bit of an old man's game but I enjoy it. Plus I get to win a fair bit.

Isn't that the game old ladies play?

And this is what I learned today: Fritos do not a dinner make. *ick* I feel a bit sick now.


Also: Open air Shakespeare, so nice! *jealous* again. I think my eyes may have turned green from all the jealousy I've been feeling of late. Shindigs, creme eggs, Conventions, DVDs made by everyone's favourite doctor, amusing cats.

I was in a Shakespeare play once. I am very proud of this. In high school I was in Tom Stoppard's "A 15 Minute Hamlet" (I was Horatio.) and then several years later I did "Pericles" in a community theater in Philadelphia. I played 9 different characters in Pericles. Pretty much ran on stage, delivered a few lines, then ran off, threw on another costume and ran back on. It was GREAT.

Who-what?

The only card games I know are snap, shithead, go fish, and bullshit. I force them upon people at shindigs.

Also, Karl, kudos for doing a music video! I tried fruitlessly a while back, but I just couldn't get the materials. Its very hard work and takes patience! I can't wait to see it.

Its also the game that Omar Sharif is world class at, so kind of cool. A little smooth, Bondlike villain type charm. Totally in character.

COOOL MAN! Can't wait to see!
If you want to use any of my webspace feel free. I've got about 50Mb most of which is unused at the moment.

To all the picture posters, cool, very good/amusing... plus I told you not to take pictures of me .

I was Bud Light in Romeo and Jullie. Does that count? I had to wear high top roller skates, short shorts, and a helmet with a light (kind of a miner's hat thing). It was fun! Except when I almost skated off the edge of the stage

I'm going to the Dutch screening *does Alex dance*

yey me!

very scared though, I also have feelings of guilt and may become a catholic to learn to deal with them - my sister who is my favouritist girl in the whole world can't go to any of them. Wretched woman is going to reading festival next week and canada on the 7th october. How do I tell her I am seeing it three months before her? We share everything - oh dear

Dr.Gorgeous why am I on your to do list? Its because you are a girl isn't it. I knew it *sulks*

I have tried to put my photos into photobucket and make them accessible to other people. I have never used this before though and have no idea how it will look to somebody other than the creator so apologies if it messes up.

How exciting!

I can see why the unwrapped creme eggs disturbed you...it was a bit odd. In my mind, i wasn't really picturing the peeled eggs properly. But there they are stacked, nekkid, on top of each other in a box. Cool. Odd. But cool.

Where are the pictures of all of you stacked, nekkid on top of each other in a box?

Ooh, so much to catch up on!

Em - hurrah! Am so happy - when Dineke said "no subtitles" though, does that mean no Dutch subtitles or no English subtitles?!

PR - which screening you going to hon? And of course well done to you too! Now we all have tickets!

Whoever tried to give Sean joint credit for the Nathan game - TAKE IT BACK! We girls had that sussed out Sat night.

Back to Em - some great (and some not so great...) photos there. Jaina does look like an evil genius in that photo!
