Wow... it's been a while.
I should be heading to bed or rather, tidying up the kitchen, sorting the dishwasher, making baby bottles, trying to find the cat before we close the windows & then going to bed... alas... I am sitting here typing.
I am, by my own admission, a complete DVD obsessive. Be it movies or TV Boxed Sets, I've not fussed. Most women collect handbags or shoes but for me it's definitely the DVD's. I've watched everything that I have several times, I know the date or possible date of future releases of TV boxed sets like Lost, ER, CSI, 24... the list goes on. This evening we've had A Touch Of Frost on the TV, it's an old episode dating back to 1999 but they are great & always worth a watch so imagine as it comes to the end of the credits & they announce that a particular series is now available in a DVD Boxed Set. I gently lean back from my desk to check out the TV only for DP to pipe up "Nope". I laughed... he didn't even look away from his monitor.
For those of you that are interested please see below for pending release dates:
CSI Vegas - Season 8 part 1 - 22nd Sept 2008
CSI New York - Season 4 part 2 - 27th Oct 2008
CSI Miami - Season 5 part 2 - 8th Sept 2008
ER - Season 12 - 15th Sept 2008
Lost - Season 4 - 27th Oct 2008
24 - Season 7 - NO CONFIRMED DATE - D'OH!!!!!!!
Nighty night xx

Movie Wednesday
The movie of the day was "Emma" starring Gwynneth Paltrow. It was a birthday prezzie from my bro & sis-in-law. Very good film, loved it so much that it inspired me to watch P&P which I did straight away as soon as Emma had finished. Yet another fantastic movie, in fact... 2 of them back to back... what more could a girl ask for???

Ramolings!

The movie of the day was Sense & Sensibility.. not quite as good as P&P but then it's a little bit older. Still a great movie, not quite as great on the eye candy front but hey you can't have everything.
No stitching done what so ever this afternoon, the ironing took everything out of me & I didn't even appear to make a dent in the pile. Definitely not keen on this circlular hell that is the washing & ironing.
Will be gaming this evening I think, I'm tired of chores so some mindnumbing questing will be the order of the evening most likely with some ER on the screen to keep me amused. Not long now until the new season but my timing has been slightly off, it looks like I'm going to finish season 7 with a week before season 8 arrives.... nightmare!
Completely OT.... wonder when we'll get more tunes from Dido??

Quite Sensible I Thought

Last week I watched a movie that I've never seen before. It was one of those freebie things that probably came with a Sunday newspaper or something. It came about because I had forgotten to taken my DVD's to the shop & by the afternoon was desperate for something to watch & then I remembered I had this little stash of freebie movies.
Howards End was the film, with Anthony Hopkins & Emma Thompson. A good film.. actually good isn't the right word... Nice.. it's a "nice" film & I really enjoyed watching it. I realised once it had started that I had tried to watch it before but obviously wasn't in the right frame of mind for that kind of film.
Yesterday I watched Pride & Prejudice with Keira Knightley, that is to say she starred in it rather than sat next to be on the sofa clutching popcorn! Great film, loved every minute.
Makes me wish that time travel is possible so that I could just pop back & see what it was like to experience life in those times.... in the meantime I decided to combine the above 2 movies & purchased Sense & Sensibility.... same novelist as P&P & starring Emma Thompson
I shall save it until a Wednesday & watch during a "my time" session.

Having just watched this most beautiful movie for the first time I can only wish that life was like this.... it's no good... I shall just have to move to a stately home in Derbyshire!

Mid-week
Wednesday, May 30, 2007, 10:37 AM
Wednesday, midweek so thats half day at work.. Yayyyy. More importantly than that it's only 3 days to our holiday... bigger yayyy.
Sharan came over for dinner last night & brought with her some extremely nice homemade scones, homemade by her own fair hand I might add. We are being limited to once every few months with the scones though so that we don't become addicted & thus spoil the whole experience. I can see her point.. they are very morish!
Watched another good movie last night The Lakehouse with Keanu Reeves & Sandra Bullock, proper girly movie & some interesting twists but really lovely & would recommend it for anyone that likes a good romance.
Waiting on a CD that I'm hoping will be delivered today as I want it for our holiday & it has definately been dispatched.. no sign of the posty yet.
Stitching update:WIP: No progress on the Cabin but will be getting some done shortly.
UFO SAL: Bottom section about 3rd done.
Dilemma: what to take on holiday.
Warcraft: made level 67 & quarter way to 68.. will game this evening.

Sunday... day of rest (yeah right!)
Sunday, May 27, 2007, 06:24 PM
Ok... so the day of rest starts at 18.15 for me. I have apple crumble & custard in front of me & Lord Of The Rings, Fellowship, just starting on the DVD. We have to watch this as we've finished Star Trek TNG season 4 & we're not seeing Lee until 1st July so LOTR is as good as it gets at the moment.
I've brought all my personal stitching supplies from the shop to home, pointless them being at the shop as I'm doing more stitching here than there at the moment.
Will update the gallery tomorrow. I've taken some pictures of more finishes & also have pictures of the UFO's to add to a nice new folder.
The home PC has been downloading updates for what seems like an eternity. Turns out that the auto update thing could have been causing my lag whilst in warcraft.. hopefully now that will be fixed & I can game in peace.
Stitching update:WIP: Managed about 5 stitches on the Cabin yesterdayUFO SAL: Did some of this last night, looking good, will spend much time on this tomorrow.
For now... to Warcraft!

ps, this time next week shopping in Manhatten

Fridays quiet night in
Friday, May 25, 2007 11.34PM
Sharan has just departed for home, what a lovely evening. She has a crappy day at work, a nightmare getting home & then comes over here to cook us dinner... something tells me we should have been cooking her dinner.. next time!
Love Maid In Manhatten, great film, a fairytale romance set in my favourite city. To date I've only been there once but that will all change in 8 days time when we're likely to be mid-flight, that is of course as long as we don't crash. Last week we watched Devil Wears Prada, another movie set in New York... throughout this week I'll be looking for as many movies as I can find here at home that are New York based... so excited.
Stitching update:WIP: Was working on Cabin In The Woods today at the shop, making good progress on it but it is getting slightly boring as there are only so many browns that a person can stitch.UFO SAL: None stitched today but bank holiday weekend so will hopefully get a good full day in somewhere.
Would like to get started on the Janlynn Winter Sampler... looks fantastic but will definitely turn into a WISP.
Gaming update:no gaming today, it's late & i'm tired.

Well, here it is - our first Blog entry.
We have just been treated to a wonderful meal of Fajitas, lovingly prepared by our good friend Sharan. They were...delicious.
As the evening draws in, Lisa has sat down to watch Maid in Manhattan (in preperation for our visit there next week), whilst I, Greg, am typing this and about to immerse myself in some simulated flying.
Time to crack open a beer.
