I wish…

… I had the money to buy these DVDs;

Suburban Girl
Juno
Waitress
P.S. I Love You
No Reservations

And probably a few more that I can’t think of right now. Spot the theme, lol.

Crushes are harmless

I completely adore Michelle Monaghan right now, and I wish Ivan would bring his site back. (hint hint)

I am almost tempted to make my own, but I have enough to do right now with my rather long cap list and revamps/expansions of several fairly large sites.

So, I’m happy for now. :)

Lucky numbers

It now looks like that 4 + 1 are my lucky numbers. Can you work that out? ;)

I’m super excited about these ‘new’ projects. Hehe!

EDIT: One has been fully restored; all that is left is bringing everything up-to-date. :D

Amy love!

Miss Amy has been cast in Dollhouse (!!) For those of you that know me, you know how much I <3 the Jossverse, so this is exciting news - I'm still bouncing!! - I nearly fell off my chair when a regular contributor of AAF emailed me to let me know! This has to be the best news, ever! :D

It definitely lifted me out of my funk after watching Crash earlier - it was brutal; very painful to watch, yet I couldn’t switch it off; I had to follow it through - so, heh!

In other news, I’m regretting closing my sites (damn stress/worries/lack of updates) and despite losing interest, I may bring back the one I only just closed (I have everything backed up) - Sandra, hon, you may be able to rejoice! ;) - but I’m currently working on bringing back another site I closed last year, so we’ll see… uh, yeah. LMAO.

Magazines available

I have several UK issues for sale - I believe it works out cheaper than eBay. ;) If no-one emails or leaves a comment, then they’ll be recycled, as I have no use for them. :) List is as follows!

• Esquire* - May 2008 - Keith Richards on cover; Elizabeth Banks feature (2 pages); Judd Apatow spread with Russell Brand (6 pages); Barack Obama.

• InStyle - May 2008 - Eva Longoria on cover; Demi Moore, Nicky Hilton, Rihanna features; several ’style’ and ‘the look’ pages have been carefully ripped out but main features are intact.

• Esquire* - April 2008 - Anna Friel on cover; Jim Sturgess spread (8 pages); Sydney Tamiia Poitier feature (half a page).

• Vogue US (bought in UK) - February 2008 - Kate Bosworth on cover; Rachel Bilson page has been carefully ripped out but the Kate & Jim Sturgess feature remains intact.

• Harper’s Bazaar US (bought in UK) - February 2008 - Jennifer Lopez on cover; ‘Fashionable Life’ feature has been carefully ripped out but the Jennifer feature remains intact.

*Subscriber editions; no text on the covers.

Cymru am byth

Or… ‘Wales forever’. Yes, we won the Six Nations; we have both the triple crown and the grand slam! Last time we won the grand slam was back in 2005.

I never used to watch rugby all that much, but in recent years I have been, and god, what a season! I now have high hopes for the World Cup. :)

Movie reviews

Yeah, new post. I decided to delete the last one - but it is a woman’s prerogative to change her mind. ;)

From the list of films that I’ve watched recently, there are a few that I enjoyed when I wasn’t expecting to, and the ones I had high hopes for, I didn’t enjoy quite as much as hubby did. Figures. :) The ones I unexpectedly loved are listed below; the others, well, see the movie list - I didn’t hate them per se, but I don’t think I’ll be re-watching them again. One viewing was enough (in most cases.)*

Spanglish (2004)
Lucky Number Slevin (2006)
The Illusionist (2006)

*I find it difficult to characterise why I loved a particular film, hence the conflicting statements of sorts. ;)

I heart Amy

I was wondering if anyone could d/l several episodes of Drive (2007) on my behalf so I can cap & clip Miss Amy’s small parts in them; I believe she was featured in several TV spots as well, so if anyone comes across them, let me know? :)

I’m looking for 3 episodes: 1×02 - Partners; 1×04 - No Turning Back; and 1×06 - Rear View.

In case you’re wondering, I am working on creating a video archive for AAF - my first one - woot! ;)

EDIT: Got them! Huge thanks to my good friend, Bree. :)

Oscars

Miss Alba looks gorgeous.

Aside from that, I haven’t really made my mind up on the ‘best & worst dressed’ lists. I haven’t bothered to do this before, but I just might this year. ;)

I’m back, baby

Yep, I managed to back everything up on my shiny new USB pen before I spent, pretty much, nearly two days reformatting the hard drive and re-installing everything. Of course, it only took this long since everything was out-of-date. ;) I’m so glad I was prepared this time though, with the backing up and saving bookmarks, etc.

Everything is so shiny and new, so much so, I don’t really want to change the ‘default’ desktop just yet. LOL.

I’m going to take a bit of a break, maybe watch Little Miss Sunshine, before I upgrade the scripts for the sites - I keep forgetting, oops.

Plus side, though? Ad blocker is back and fully installed, and pretty much everything is better than it was before. I’ve noticed that a lot of my programmes weren’t updating, including PSP - which I ordered from Amazon some years back - so I’ve just updated with a patch dated 2005. LMAO.
