sauntering vaguely downwards

i know it's only because everyone's distracted by dan radcliffe's recent purchase that i've not seen this posted... RIGHT?

( NUMB3RS SEASON ONE ON DVD 30 MAY!!! )

other items of note:
- doctor who will start broadcasting on scifi on 17 mar, so those who will be missing bsg need not despair for too long. the dvds are available now in canada for the economical price of CAD 93.00. current news has the dvds available in the u.s. in july.
- no news on bsg 2.5 dvds.
- no news on my twin peaks season two dvds, but with all the new david lynch releases this year (eraserhead, extended dune, etc.), i am staying strong!

... but really? OMG NUMB3RS ON DVD!?!!!

random things you all should know:
1) i know wil wheaton has like five million fangrrls in the blogverse, but did you all know that he also writes the funniest column ever over at the onion's av club web site? yeah, well neither did i until my roommate pointed it out to me. for anyone who played even ONE of these games, it's the best thing ever.
2) the dandy warhols and david gray came out with new albums last week. (pete yorn, where are you?!)
3) so, there's this little movie coming out in november. 18 nov, to be exact. don't know if y'all have heard about it. supposed to be good, i dunno. anyway, they've updated the trailer for it. all i've got to say is this: SIRIUS FIRE CHAT OMG. (link is a quicktime link)
4) don't try to remove staples with fingernails you don't have.
5) dress shopping this weekend! MUAHAHAHAHA.

on the tv front:
- NUMB3RS STARTS NEW EPISODES ON 23 SEPT. YES THAT IS NEXT WEEK. seriously, if you guys aren't watching this show by now... i don't know what i'm going to do with you lot.
- veronica mars starts on 28 sept. i know it's at the same time as lost, but i care WAY more about what happens to logan than what happens to sawyer. the sharks can have sawyer, but logan better make it back to his car.
- it would seem that fox is re-running bones tonight. you'd think they'd get the hint that if no one watched it on tuesday BEFORE NEW EPISODES OF HOUSE OMG then they're not going to watch it on friday. (it was kinda... not good. and not just because i kept saying to myself, "omg ANGEL why are you in the sunlight ANGEL? buffy's in europe ANGEL why are you in DC ANGEL!?!!!")
- i fear i will have the same reaction when james marsters comes back to tv.
- NEW EPISODES OF HOUSE OMG. *hugs her favorite curmudgeon to self*

i need a freakin icon for these little friday posts of mine. good thing i've got 100 ICONS NOW

FRIIIIIDAY!

1) just because harry potter book six releases at midnight doesn't mean you all can't watch NUMBERS. it's on at 10pm, y'know? tonight is the repeat of the stolen plutonium. whee!
2) OMGBOOKSIXWHEE
3) comic-con this weekend. w00t! fullmetal alchemist dvd #4, you will be mine. those of you already there better give me all the deets on the veronica mars panel.
4) omg, my chiropractor is the shizzle fo rizzle. neck is like a gazillion times better.
5) you know what i love about my hometown? 99 cent japanese import stores. i picked up 8 sets of really awesome-looking chopsticks for $8. now i can make sure the roommates throw out those awful disposable ones that come with the take out (instead of trying to save them, ew). i also got hello kitty chocolate biscuits, 2/99cents.

okay, shower (because i have massage oil all over, ick) and then packing and then WHEE WEEKEND FUN TIME.

eta: just so people don't think i'm a chopstick snob, it's reusing the disposable chopsticks FOR EATING where i say, "ew." also, "ow," 'cause splinters, yeah? 99cent chopsticks! they are made for being reused and are pretty and 99CENTS. /logic

the very good news:
official word from cbs: NUMBERS IS BEING PICKED UP FOR THE FALL! WHEEE!

i didn't see anything on the futon critic or mediaweek that said how many eps they will order, but YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY.

also, while there will be no numbers this week, you can look forward to repeats starting 5/27. *runs around in circles*

the very bad news:
if any of you are fans of ANY of the current lush shower gels, you'd better stock up. i was informed yesterday that they're discontinuing all but flying fox when the new shower gels come to the stores in a week or so.

the ugly news:
i fell asleep at 9p last night. i really hate when i do that.

FIVE THINGS ON FRIDAY! (HAHAHAHAHHA) /the count

1) NEW NUMBERS TONIGHT OMG. cbs. 10pm. don't act like you don't know, beyotches. ;)
2) BIG DAMN THANK YOUS to ixchelmala and lissa_triana. i think this comic* sums up why. *floves*
3) i found out an old friend of mine won the tribeca all access writing contest for the second time in a row. i hope he remembers the little people who painted his black box theatre when he hits the big time. ;)
4) MY NEW ARTEMIS FOWL BOOK SHOWED UP YESTERDAY. *beams*
5) i took a knitting class a couple of weeks ago and am starting on my first scarf. wheeeee.

dear cbs,

why do you torment me with your real media-encoded videos? all i want to see is the preview for this week's numbers.

bereft and bewildered,
~e

from _jems_:

cbs is picking up more eps of numb3rs!

that makes for 12 episodes in total! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (as you can see, i am simply ignoring the fact that there were only going to be EIGHT episodes, because now there are MORE).
