The Good and the Bad

- Good: Thank you to the wonderful LJ Fairy, whoever you are, for six whole months of paid LJ time. I really hope you get repaid for your generosity somehow, some way ... was it the poll? Did you like the poll? Should I create a poll every day from now until my LJ time expires? Haha, I think I'd run out of ideas by the end of the week.

- Bad: It's official. Not going to Okt00berfest or LA or anywhere until possibly November. *weeps* I canceled the air reservations this morning. Have I mentioned that I really need some time off? Just checked the system, and I have 28+ DAYS of vacation time due to me. That's FOUR WEEKS. Actually, closer to five weeks since we're talking business days. That doesn't even count sick days. I HATE MY JOB.

- Good: If you're a fan of Kevin Sullivan's adaptations of "Anne of Green Gables," you might be interested in this. When "The Continuing Story" was first released, Jade and I were v. excited (mostly because we hadn't actually seen it yet). We went looking for info about it on the Web, and the official site had a clip that was deleted from the final version -- Anne and Gil's wedding night. But then they released the DVD, and I guess to make it more exclusive so that we'd buy the damn thing, they removed the clip from the Web site. While talking with [livejournal.com profile] akscully about it the other night, I found it again!! IMHO it's the best part of the entire movie (yes, even though nothing actually happens, most of it is in shadow, and there's no sound), so here it is. Yeah, it's still the official site. I guess they only removed links to it, and not the clip itself. What sense does that make? Though who really cares?

- Bad: Have not written a word in days. Feel especially guilty, as Jade has sent me part of her section for IYOK4. Am big loser slacker.

- Good: Season premieres of AtS and Smallville tonight! Wheeee!

Also, thanks to everyone for your responses to the poll so far. Right now it's a tie between two options, and given how close the two have been running, I think we're going to come up with a compromise that will hopefully suit most people (I've given up trying to please everyone, is impossible). We'll probably "close" the poll on the weekend.

Boo that you can't come to Okt00berfest. Hurrah for Anne/Gil hotness! Boo for no writing. Hurrah for anon LJ fairies!

Wait, if you and Jade aren't coming, how am I supposed to get my P/J tape o' goodness? THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.

Take it up with her, man. I have my tapes, so what do I care?

Though I imagine -- and this is a really wild, out-there kind of plan, but just hear me out -- she could possibly use this system (it's a little crazy) where we wrap up the items (in this case, the tapes), then put little sticky things on them (I think they're called stamps), and take it to this place (I think it's called the "post office") where they will actually send it for us. Sounds wacky, doesn't it? But I've heard tell that it works.

Alice,

Hi list member!

It is horrible. Do not watch it. And if you must watch it, do not spend money on it. It is a travesty. I like to pretend that it doesn't really exist. If I can save you, let me.

But dude, how do you really feel?

*refuses to pester you for the next chapter*

It's very tempting though, but I've made it a policy not to beg for next chapters. No matter how much I want to read the next installment.

Take your time...I'm sure you're busy.

*smiles evilly*

That clip was so sweet! I LOVE Anne -- Hated that 3rd film though. I've read all the books. *sigh* And they excised that scene from the movie? Is it on the dvd?

[identity profile] sarea-okelani.livejournal.com 2003-10-01 04:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Er, I wasn't very clear about that, was I? :)) Yes, the scene is on the DVD as part of the "deleted scenes" package -- I think there are 3 deleted scenes total.

Am loving all the Anne-ness. I've been meaning to re-read all the books, but I've had too much schoolwork. And I always watch all the movies when it snows :-)

*hugs*

Now I can finally comment on this post! LJ has been hell for me today...it's not loading a damn thing! Umm, first off, I *love* the icon. Can I take it home and cuddle it? *waves G/A flag* There are really no words to describe the love I hold for this ship.

Yay! I thank the LJ fairy as well.

As for Angel...well I have to watch the tape of the show that I recorded since I was busy elsewhere. I'm so excited for Spike and Angel...and Angel and Spike!

You may do whatever you wish with the icon! :D Yay that there are other fans of Anne/Gil out there. Hope you enjoy AtS!! It's a great break from reality ... at least for 45 min. : )
