DVDs

Yesterday I started watching my Felicity DVDs again. I don’t own all that many TV shows on DVD. Buffy, Survivor Season 2 and Survivor All-Stars (I like Amber), the first 6 seasons of Full House, the first 2 seasons of Veronica Mars, Dinosaurs, 3 seasons of Boy Meets World, and the first season of Clarissa Explains It All. And Joe got the Stargate SG1 series, which I watched too.

I was so upset when I found out that they weren’t releasing the rest of the Boy Meets World or Clarissa DVDs. Just now I checked on their status and it seems that a new distributer has acquired Boy Meets World but no good news on Clarissa. I think it’s awful that they would release part of a series and then just stop. That’s just silly, when a lot of people wait until they’re all released and buy the whole set, since it’s usually part of a some special edition/packaging.

I’ve borrowed the Sweet Valley High series and Saved by the Bell series from Netflix in the past. I have Sabrina the Teenaged Witch coming up soon in my queue as well as Stargate Atlantis.

BSC

Recently I’ve been rereading the BSC books in order, minus the super specials and mysteries (I’m going to read those in their own order). I’m up to somewhere in the Friends Forever series part of it. I’m still missing some of those and a few from the main series (and some mysteries). As much as I enjoy reading them, the inconsistencies stick out more when you read them in order. Normally I read them randomly or all the Mallory books or something like that. It annoyed me especially how in one book Ethan was 16, then in the next book he was 15 again (Ethan is Stacey’s boyfriend in some of the books). Also, I’ve discovered Mary Ann is really annoying. I mean, really annoying.

TV Shows

A lot of the shows I watch are reruns but there’s some new shows that I do watch.

On the N:
Degrassi TNG and About a Girl

Fridays:
Ghost Whisperer and I’ve recorded each episode of Moonlight but haven’t watched them yet

Thursdays:
Survivor

and now Sundays I’ll be watching Amazing Race. I also watch Lost when it’s on.

I think this season of Survivor is the best in a long while. Part of it is probably the location…I was getting so sick of all the islands.

An Update

It’s been 7 years and 25 days since my first weblog post. Crazy.

I went to a book-signing last Wednesday. Maria V. Snyder. She wrote Poison Study and Magic Study, with an upcoming Fire Study. You should read these books. Really.

I’ve been doing a lot of watercolor painting lately. And playing Pokemon Pearl. I started reading the Wheel of Time series and started wearing my Aes Sedai ring again.

I’m taking herbal and mineral supplements and going to a chiropractor twice a week.

We’re likely getting one, possibly two, kittens in a few weeks.

Work is still work but working with WordPress makes work a little less like work.

I can’t walk very far without my left knee shifting out of place very painfully and causing my leg to give out. It is not very fun.

The cancellations of Veronica Mars and Drive? Not cool.

Amazing Novel

Everyone must read Poison Study by Maria V. Snyder. Or listen to it, as I did at work. I loved it so much that I listened to it a second time as soon as I was finished. It’s part of a trilogy, the second of which is due out in October.
I can’t claim it’s an amazing piece of literature, but there was something about it. I still can’t stop thinking about that book and the characters.
