Alas the weekend has departed quickly yet again. I was house/dog sitting for my parents which meant that I had a pretty quiet weekend. My brother got a new computer (Mac laptop... iBook?) which is pretty sweet. I'm not really a fan of Mac computers but I did enjoy the little remote control for while I was curled up on the couch :)

As I've been getting more and more addicted to Farscape I decided a Vortex trip was in order for today so my brother and I went out and visted HMV, BMV and Vortex (the usual at that end of town) and did quite well. I bought a nice bunch of books and both Shaye CDs (one was given to me for free - tres awesome!) I found the last two seasons of Gilmore Girls for Nomi which she has been searching for since she moved to TO :) For myself I finally got a copy of The Corpse Bride and Ginger Snaps 2 (so now I can watch the third one I've had for months now lol) and also Pitch Black because Claudia Black is in it and I've been told the movie isn't bad. Oh and I bought the last third of season 1 of Farscape and the Peace Keeper Wars (which I will not watch before I'm done the series it was just not too expensive so I went for it.) My Farscape DVDs are set up differently than the ones I've been borrowing. There are 4 seperate discs instead of two double sided discs. It's all the same to me though :)

I also lucked out and not only was I able to borrow the last third of season 2 from Tom today I also got a ride home from him so I didn't have to fuss with getting my bag with freshly cleaned laundry (perk of housesitting - free laundry) and new books and DVDs on and off of the streetcar :) So much nicer to do it that way.

Next week shall be more housesitting, with working autoshow and I get to see Dell for brunch *yay*

Now time to get ready for bed and then regular work tomorrow :)

I'm still so glad you're loving Farscape! How much have you seen now? Have any big "WTF!?" moments happened yet? *g*

I haven't seen all of Pitch Black, but the parts I did see were pretty good. Hmm, maybe I should get the sister to send it to me so I can give it another looksie. I'm pretty much sold on another Claudia Black's in anyway. She got me to watch Stargate! :D

[elizalavelle.livejournal.com]

LOL I saw that Stargate was on sale at HMV and was like "hmmmm.... should I get this..?" but I'm restraining until I get all of Farscape.

I just finished watching "Beware of Dog" on the weekend, hopefully I'll be able to watch the rest of Season 2 this week :)

Yeah, I'm not sure if Stargate's neccessarily worth buying. I mean, if you really like it, great! But IMO, it's not Farscape quality. Ben and Claudia bump up its points A LOT.

BoD - I *love* Aeryn's Vorc face!

Okay, had the big WTF moments tonight. Just watched 'Won't Get Fooled Again' which is awesome but OMGWTF?! I thought I was losing my own mind LOL

Then of course I followed it up with 'The Locket' and was a mess of crying and loving the angsty love. So that's enough for tonight :)

It's been a long time since I watched Pitch Black, but I recall really enjoying it. I didn't know Claudia Black was in it -- never made the connection!

[elizalavelle.livejournal.com]

hehe IMDB made the connection for me, I love that site :)

Me too! I can actually spend hours on it, if I let myself.

I really liked Pitch Black, much better than Chronicles of Riddick so I've gathered. I can't remember who Claudia Black plays in it, but she is definitely there, I'll have to watch it again.

I'd also love to fully catch up with Farscape, I've only ever seen a few episodes and then about two thirds of Peacekeeper Wars. A show I enjoyed when I did catch it though.

I'm fortunate that with Farscape I'm able to borrow all of the DVDs so I'm getting it all in order, and the fans are clearly awesome because they're not spoiling me at all :) So far I think it's definitly worth trying to get a hold of all of the episodes :)

I love house/pet sitting sometimes. It is a nice way to "escape" for a little while. Being alone at times, and just being very chill. I did it in Long Island once and it was heaven! lol

I have yet to see the Corpse Bride, must add it to my netflix, I was gonna ask "is it good" but since you bought it, I will go with a yes. :)

[elizalavelle.livejournal.com]

LOL yup I think it's a good movie. It's not as bright and flashy as Nightmare Before Christmas is but it captured the mood they were going for very well I think and I just enjoy it :)
