Patrick Park's Life is a Song is playing in my head.
I made these mid-last year and wanted to see how I'd done with them :)
'DVD hunt currently consists of:
Running On Empty (the River Phoenix one)
Little Nikita
Macross (Do You Remember Love)
Robotech (all eps)
Friends: The One With All Ten Seasons (I already know where this one is, and hopefully will get it soon :D) - got stuffed on this one. Waited too long, however, Ri is helping me out so all is not lost!
Veronica Mars
SeaQuest DSV (season 1, anyway. Yay!)
Entourage
Charles In Charge'
'To add to the potential spending spree, I'm dying to read:
Wicked
March (only because I'm crazily interested in the idea that a fanfic won a Pulitzer)
The Outsiders
A Light In August - hard core read, this one. To me, anyway. I preferred As I Lay Dying.
On The Road...'
To which I now would like to add: My Sister's Keeper (Picoult), Lunar Park (Easton Ellis), and more Daphne Du Maurier. I have recently become obsessed after re-reading Rebecca and then following that up with Flight of the Falcon andMy Cousin Rachel. I could not put any of them down for long at all. What amazing books.
I've currently suspended myself from reading the rest of Windfall by Penny Vincenzi (I got the book for 30c at a fete last September, along with 12 others [almost all of which I've finished, hurrah! so can hopefully get started on the batch I got at the recent sale in Olympic Park], so I thought I'd give her a try. Bit of a tough act, following Du Maurier, but it is interesting. I'm suspending it in favour of The Artist's Way at the moment, because that will have to go back to Ri soon, along with Breakfast at Tiffany's (which I loved! Oh yeah, I want to add In Cold Blood to the above list).
I've gone a bit book nuts lately, allowing the tide of DVD fever to subside a little (after getting the Anne Series, The Office S1 and the SQ DVDs, anything else I buy at the moment would just feel like extra :) I still have to wait for the OC S4 DVDs to come out here). Thanks to that fete (13 books for $4!) and then the sale at Olympic Park just after Christmas (10 books for $30, but considering $30 is something like 1 1/2 books...) and my recent discoveries of King books in bargain bins (Pet Semetary, Dolores Claiborne and Misery for $15!!)... I've not been short on reading material - though time to read, that's been another story! I've yet to finish the first batch (although Rebecca and Breakfast at Tiffany'swere some happy intrusions there) and it seems it will be a while before I get to those King books, but ah well! It ain't bad having them to look forward to.
In the outer realms, am going to the Westlife concert tomorrow night that was originally planned for September, last year. Ri keeps paying me out for it and I don't blame her. Last year, Jimmy Eat World were here... and I was going to go to Westlife. This time around, both Evanescence and BoyzIIMen have been out here... and I'm going to Westlife :P I'm going more for the other people going if that makes sense and because I finally said to myself, what the hell, you've never been to a concert before so why not? Little did I know I could have made my first concert a band I really love. 'Tis cool. Westlife are not bad so the show oughta be cool and Anthony Callea is opening and I do want to hear that voice live!
Then Wednesday, maybe go-karting with Mench and the others, if not then dinner after. Whoa, just realised how many birthdays are coming up. Eepers. Maybe I'll skip go-karting.
Anybody got any opinions on The Outsiders before I run out and find myself a copy?
I'd certainly heard of The Outsiders and recently, for some reason, seems more people are asking me if I've seen it. My answer was generally no up until recently when I was looking up another movie (one I knew had Ralph Macchio in it from the little that I had seen) and found that he wasn't in it (the movie was Gorky Park... how I came by the notion that that was the movie I'd been watching, I no longer know) and after a little more digging, I realised that all this time, I hadwatched The Outsiders, albeit unwittingly. The more I've looked into it, the more I want to read the book and watch the movie properly hence the question above.

Unfortunately, VM, Entourage(is it even on DVD?) and SQ are still unavailable down here in jolly ol' Oz. The others, thankfully, are just a matter of ordering... once I have the funds of course :P As the ATO are soon to receive a rather hefty amount from me, this won't be for some time yet. I can't complain too much though because over the last couple days, I was able to tape Finding Neverland and The Prince and Me, the former making me weepy by the end and the latter just something I can sit back and watch, soaking up the cutesy-poo.
To add to the potential spending spree, I'm dying to read:
Wicked

The Outsiders
A Light In August
On The Road...
... along with a million others :P Thank you, A&R's top 100!
*toddles back off into oblivion*
Aside from the fact that I’m currently eating the blandest tasting apple ever, it’s been a pretty cool day. Oh, however, be careful what you wish for too… I complained about the crunchy Anzac Bikkies and what do you know… my sister decides to get me some more (I’m so spoiled) and well… soft. Incompletely baked. I dunno. But still better than the crunchy so heh.
- Got The Castle DVD :D Aaahh, one of my favourite Aussie Aussie movies. Not to mention vintage Pre-Chopper Eric Bana. I miss him donning the plastic wig while taking off Ray Martin. Classic Bana.
- Finished off re-watching the BBC’s 1995 Pride & Prejudice for the millionth time (all this P&P talk!)… *sigh* then followed it up with Little Women (the ’94 one) and Clueless, both of which I’d not seen for years. Movie fun.
- Finished my first song! Hurrah! Yes, the chord switching is still really rough (much like the tips of my fingers!) but I was able to sing it through with some semi-reasonable breaks. Yippee!
- It was actually earlier in the week, but finally heard from my tutor and well, he’s great… :)
- For some reason, felt compelled to have a go at the YA recaps on TWoP again… and it has been a while since I laughed that hard. Pam Ribon is hilarious :D
And tonight, shall begin on The Shining which I acquired after finally using my Dymocks card. I wanna see if it justifies my having made room in my freezer.
Meanwhile, a million points, a la Whose Line, to whoever knows to what the hell I’m referring in my subject line ;)
