Why was I not informed?

* That The Time Travelers Wife got adapted into a movie? With Rachel McYummy and the Hulk? Opening in, like, two weeks?

We want a rousing success here, so everyone in Hollywood will go digging around their development drawers and find Time and Again, which Robert Redford has held the rights to since the Nixon Administration.

* That we don't have BBCA anymore?

We did, back in the day. I'd check to see if they were showing old Pythons or Campions or anything funny/mysterious, but all I ever saw on there were these Veddy British versions of Antiques Roadshow. So now that all'yall have rammed this Children of Earth thing down my throat and I find it's actually ON, marathon-stylee, this afternoon, I flip to 109 and get me a pink screen of death with "NOT AUTHORIZED" on it.

C'mon. It's the Beeb. Shouldn't it at least say "NOT AUTHORISED," or maybe even "NO SHOW! EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE!"

* Where my other stupid ratty sneaker is?

It's turning out to be perhaps the first day all month when it might be rain-free, and I still have twenty of our back forty to mow, but my back-yard sneakers have gone missing. Rather, my right back-yard sneaker.  Tasha has always had a bizarre greeting behavior where she'll grab a random piece of footwear and bring it to the new arrival. Even if it isn't theirs. (Even if it was theirs, she never goes and retrieves the matching one.)   So we just wind up with assorted sneaks, clogs and ballet flats all about the house.  Wherever they may be.

Anyone local who wants to come-with for TTW, get me a copy of COE, or help me find a rather large, grass-stained trainer? Come right by. Just leave your shoes outside.

I've got an off-air copy of CoE, but it's Region 2. Does that work?

[captainsblog.livejournal.com]

If you can send a copy with whatever-all-else you've been threatening to send? I'll run it through my magic bag of tricks and see if we can regionalise it. But don't make a special trip for it.

I'll pop it in the envelope. Email me your address again?

your sneaker is under the couch. or behind Em's bed. or in the dishwasher. that is where Boomer puts ours.

I've checked the sofas. The Temple of Doom is still too crowded with unpacked crap. And our we keep the wishwasher shut,and it's built-in so nothing can get behind it (not that it stopped Bozo, years ago, from getting into the works under it and cuddling up for a nap next to the warm motor)

well it was worth a try....

torchwood was okay... I wouldn't lose sleep over missing it though LOL

Generally, I agree: I saw the Who ep where they introduced Jack, and I'm not all that agog over him. But this particular TW miniseries is supposed to be speshul.

Seeing it will help you understand what I'll hopefully be doing in another year, if that's any enticement? (You'll also get to see places near where I live...)

I liked just the regular show better. I tried "being human" too, am pretty so-so about it.

[targaff.livejournal.com]

Nor indeed any of the crap they show on BBC America. Half of it's not even BBC.

If you don't have BBCA, then you aren't getting Top Gear! How will you live? I LOVE that show!

Your ratty sneaker is with my other sock that I cannot find. They have eloped to Vegas.
