Randomness

I only have 4 more season 2 Due South episodes to watch, I'm going to have to buy the third season pretty soon. I really shouldn't though! Talking of DVDs I need, I also haven't got Red Dwarf series 6, the second Atlantis DVD and any number of other things that I need. And since I've been re-watching Farscape on BBC3 I've re-discovered that obsession and am seriously considering getting all those on DVD too.

I actually planned on it a few years ago, and I got most of the first season and the first one of season 3. But that's it. I need the rest. Especially now they've stopped showing them (finished tonight with Die Me Dichotomy, the episode that turned me from a casual fan into an obsessed, DVD buying nutter!) I should stop spending so much though. I buy way too many DVDs, books and comics. I can't cut back on the comics because I'm hooked on them, but the DVDs...well, I guess I'm hooked on them too. But I could always wait a bit between purchases. I think I'm going to cut back on the spending until I get a job. On the other hand, I decided that a few months ago and just didn't. That doesn't bode well for the future of this plan!

My mum watched Traders with me this evening. I think she's definitely been turned into a fan. But she fell asleep five minutes before the end. I don't know what it is with her and my dad. Both of them seem incapable of watching TV and staying conscious. It's quite annoying. Still, at least she didn't snore. She did say that watching Traders makes her feel dizzy though. I have no idea whether she was exaggerating or not!

And veering off into yet another fandom, looks like it's official, David Tennant will be the 10th Doctor

And I'm off to bed. Which seems weird since it's only 2am, I guess I'm improving! (For now...)

I can send you the last two seasons of Due South if you want (season 3 would be copies of my DVDs and season 4 would be... I think divx. Maybe xvid. Maybe mpg. Some video format, anyway...)

Ooooh, that would be incredibly cool! But only if it's not a load of bother, because if it is, I'll just buy them.

Easy peasy. I'm getting the program to copy DVDs tomorrow (hopefully) so it'll be a fun DVD set to test it out on.

That'd be great then. But I am going to have to think of something to send you in return. Is there anything you want? (Unfortunately, I don't have a lot worth sending though.. I need to get myself some stuff to copy DVDs!)

Do you mean sending as files or on disks, btw?

Oh, I meant discs. That okay?

Hmmmm... what would I like to get? A postcard would be really cool (I love getting mail that isn't bills!)

A postcard? Lol, I think I could manage that. But a postcard of Hull? Not the most interesting of places! Can do though. Hmm, I kind of collect postcards, but I've never bought one of Hull!

And yeah, disks are fine! :)

Hey, trust me, a postcard of *anywhere* that isn't Calgary is cool. Though I had to get on expedia.com and find out where exactly in Britain Hull was, 'cause when you say Hull I think of the city in Quebec. Which I only know of because apparently that's where you go to drink after the bars in Ottawa have closed...

Oh yeah, I heard there was a Hull in Canada somewhere. I think there's one somewhere in America too...
Technically though, this Hull is called Kingston upon Hull, but no one calls it that.

*goes to look up random Hulls around the world*

Btw, can you give me your address so I can send your postcard?

The Hull in Quebec is pretty much famous for exactly one reason -- it's right across the Quebec border from Ottawa and the bars are open later in Quebec. So it's the place to finish off your evening plastered...

Not that I've ever been there. Or to Ottawa, for that matter. But pretty much everyone in Canada knows what Hull is good for. *grin*

Ah, yes, address. Will e-mail.
