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.

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.

movies

I’m in a cross-stitching mood again finally, thanks to Mythical Dragon (progress pic coming tonight or tomorrow). This means I spend a lot of time watching things on TV. I spend a lot of my time watching The-N, such shows as Degrassi, Sabrina, and Clueless (and Full House, on different channels). I’ve pretty much seen all the episodes of all the shows (I used to watch Sabrina, Clueless, and Full House each week when they were on) so that can sometimes get boring. Our OnDemand hasn’t been working for the past two weeks (need to call to reschedule appt) and usually the movies on TV suck.

This past week I borrowed Under a Tuscan Sun (which I really liked) and Fifty First Dates (didn’t like quite as much) from my parents, who had rented them. Tonight I got two movies from Blockbuster (using free coupons Joe got from someone at work) and borrowed three movies from my brother’s family. They are: Star Wars Episodes I and II, 10 Ways to Lose a Guy, LotR: The Return of the King, and Underworld. I’ve seen them all except Underworld. Joe and I are also going to be watching Star Wars Episodes IV, V, VI sometime soon.

My last assignments for Advanced Graphic Design are due tomorrow and I haven’t started them. The one is a discussion board thing as usual and the other is a critique and evaluation of a design. I think that’s a really sucky final project. That should have been the DB topic or something. We had to do the same thing as a final project in Theory and History of Visual Communication. I just really think we should have had another actual project. We need things to put in our portfolio and potential employers aren’t really going to care about a critique. I’ll just do them quick tomorrow. I have an 89 in that class. I don’t know if it’s going to end up an A or not.

harry potter

Joe and I went to the 10:10 showing of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban last night. The theatre wasn’t very crowded and was mostly adults. There were two kids there, which I was suprised about. I wasn’t expecting to see any since the movie wasn’t going to be over until 12:40. The kids were probably around 8 or 9 years old.
Anyway, click below to read what I thought of the movie.

tv

I have a lot of TV to watch this week. I just hope I remember to watch it all.

Tuesday: Buffy, and two shows on corpses (ice man and a mass grave)
Wednesday: one on dragons and Buffy
Thursday: one on witchcraft
Friday: one on Loch Ness and one on Dracula

I need to buy a blank tape so I can tape the creature ones.

lord voldemort

I just finished watching the Mary-Kate and Ashley movie “Winning London”. I found this one part very amusing.

A little background:
They were disguised as boys to sneak into a men’s club where a boy was having dinner with his father (lord somebody). The boy introduces them as fellow students at Eton. The father then asks who their father is because he probably knows him.

Their answer?

“Lord…Voldemort.”
