    Serenity Now/Equality Now screenings

    It's a squarish red basket she's in and she's looking through one of the handles. I just like how her eyes are so centered in the opening and her little ears just peek over the top. It's like some one set it up, but no... that's just my cat for ya. :D

    Mirrormask

    I saw Neverwhere on DVD and that turned out pretty good. You could tell it was done it was done in the UK, and maybe it even helped. It was kinda weird, but now so much that you got lost. I'm waiting for the book version from the library now and the TV series also inspired me to check out all...

    Serenity Now/Equality Now screenings

    Oh, well I'll be the chick in the black Amy Brown fairy tee. :) I never got to see Serenity in the theaters, but I have seen the DVD 3-4 times. I haven't been to a movie in years, so I'm treating myself. Plus, we're (my mom & I) are going to my Aunt & Uncle's in the Catskills for the whole...

    Serenity Now/Equality Now screenings

    I was just wondering if anybody on the boards was going to any of the screenings of Serenity that are going on June 22, 23, and 24. I'm going to the one in Albany, NY on the 23. It's to raise money for charity. I'm half asleep now, so my memory of the details is bad, but the website to go to...

    What are you reading? [June]

    Right now I'm reading the FR novel The Dream Spheres by Cunningham. I read the others in the series a while ago. I've also been checking out graphic novels from the library and I read them as I get them. Mostly it's Neil Gaiman lately. Don't know what I'll read next. The library system by me...

    Mirrormask

    I still waiting for this from the library, but I did take a look at the book. I couldn't read it. It was like a cross between a graphic novel and a collage/scrapbook done by a crazy person... I just could follow it. I'm hoping the movie is better. As for Labyrinth, it's one of my favorite...

    great names in movies, books & tv

    Author's names I have a subscription to Locus magazine and I always mark the really cool author names. I'll try to post some of them later, since right now I'd have to look for a couple of issues and I'm way to tired to do that now.

    Sorcery and Cecilia, or the Enchanted Chocolate Pot

    3rd book in series coming out I'm waking this old thread up to post that a third book in this series is going to be coming out this year. The newest issue of Locus came this weekend it shows "The Mislaid Magician, or Ten Years After" by Wrede & Stevermer to be coming out Oct. '06. I'm pretty...

    I've finally moved from Buffalo... it's about time too!

    It's not that I didn't like Buffalo, I loved it (although the local gov't is totally messed up these days). I had to move because I didn't do well there. It had tons to offer, like a great mass transit system, about a dozen colleges (which I still intend to eventually attend), I had a great...

    I've finally moved from Buffalo... it's about time too!

    Ok, so here I sit in my parent's house in Carmel, NY and most of the past few weeks are a stress filled blur. I only had to wait around since April for my family to figure things out on how to get me home, and while they got me here, it was pretty much a huge cluster ****. Granted, I have a...

    Things that are better with bacon

    Well, I've now added bacon to my grocery list, of which I'm going to go do later, thanks to this thread. ;) Of course, in this weather, I have no idea how I'm going to cook it since I found my fav. way was to bake it, on a cookie cooling rack, on a cookie tray. I suppose I can nuke it. I will...

    Muppet Show (Season 1) on DVD August 9th! (Got it!)

    On one of the "Best of..." DVDs is Linda Ronstat (sp?) and she sings "Blue Bayou" in a swamp setting... old cabin, swamp, cattails, and LOTS of muppet frogs. Well, the frogs go "ribbit...ribbit, ribbit" during the chorus and now whenever I hear the song playing in my local Wegmans, which is...

    Muppet Show (Season 1) on DVD August 9th! (Got it!)

    That's also true, but "Best of the Muppets" was better than NO Muppets at all. ;) I think this better too, but the other DVDs were nice to watch while we waited for seasons to come out.... which I'm pretty sure most of us knew would happen eventually.

    James Marsters to join the cast of Smallville

    He's going to be 43 in August...if what I've read is true. Some places don't mention his DOB or at least most don't list the year, but the last I read makes him 11 years older than me. :( And don't get me wrong, he still looks great, but most of the new pics I've seen of him are of the new do...

    Muppet Show (Season 1) on DVD August 9th! (Got it!)

    Actually, they've had "The Best Of The Muppet Show" DVDs out for a while (you might have seen the infomercials on TV). There's 3-4 episodes on a disc and I've taken 2 or 3 of them out from my library. I forgot how funny they were. Some of the guest stars I saw were Steve Martin, Carol Bernett...

    James Marsters to join the cast of Smallville

    I read somewhere that originally, he used a Southern accent for Spike... glad they didn't go that way. And yes, he got better at the accent by hanging around with and listening to Tony Head. He'll be shown a bit in the first Episode of SV, but it's not till the third that he has more of a...

    MTV---Rembember when it was cool?

    Yup, videos and cartoons.. that's what I loved about MTV. I liked Clone High too, and Daria, and the short lived Down Town. I also like the video countdowns (like the one with all the comedians and Vanilla Ice went nuts with a bat), Head Bangers Ball, and who remembers Closet Classics. I...

    Spookiest Actress

    Juliet Landau as Drusilla on BtVS. The only other thing I've seen her in is Ed Wood, and that whole movie's kinda creepy. ;) Courtney Cox Arquette... she creeps ME out, especially as Monica :eek: . :D Madonna... except for one movie (Who's That Girl for some reason cracks me up it's so cheesy...

    Sorcery and Cecilia, or the Enchanted Chocolate Pot

    I too recently finished reading Sorcery & Celia and I thought it was great. I'm now reading The Grand Tour, which is pretty good, but I'm not enjoying as much as the first book. I was amazed to find out that the OOP original PB copies are so hard to find and can cost $45-$100. Of course, my...

    HELP!!! Our home has been invaded by ants!

    Ah, maybe it was that my cat was 5ish when I had carpenter ants invade my apartment last year. She'd just watch them walking around. I think that 6 legged insects are below her... she only goes after spiders, centipedes, and things w/ wings. The ants were coming through a large space between...
