I liked that movie, but it's been forever since I saw it. I should see if the library has it...
I've been getting movies from the library at the college most weekends lately. Free is good! Most are VHS - they have very few DVDs - but I think that's worth the trade-off.
Me either, but I only have three episodes I've never seen. I want something new and exciting. Bleh.
I still have Full Moon.
I should probably at least get in another 500 words first, though.
Ugh...it's cold in here.
I cancelled our walmart club subscription...I can get most movies from our local library!
We've watched Sgt. York and Herbie the Love Bug just recently...from the library...free IS good!
Me too.
Yeah, I know it...but when I buy computer carp, it's something geeky like a USB external DVD writer or the like :)
Oh you just had to say that...
I *gasp* wish I had tv. I could tune on the boob tube and veg out.
Oh... I want one of those!
*sigh*
OK, now that would be nice...
But it's still important to have a decent keyboard!

If I bought newspapers I might see those. But newspapers are so... 20th-century.
Heh...so are physical stores.
But I did go to Staples today. Got paper and binder clips so I can print this durn story off when the month is over.
Heh, and then you'll feel like you really accomplished something, won't you?
Only brick-and-mortar stores that aren't overrated are bookstores. I like to be able to read in a comfortable chair for two or three hours, or browse the stacks.
And I can stash it away to laugh at in coming years. I had completely forgotten that I printed out the first NaNo novel I did until I came across it when I was rearranging my bookshelves. I didn't reread the whole thing, but did parts. Some of it was better than I remembered...but a lot wasn't. Heh...
Yeah, bookstores rule! There's nothing that can replace browsing a nice bookstore. In my case, used bookstores are my very favorite. Man, I love the smell of those places! And I especially like 'em when they're just the teensiest bit disorganized, so I can feel like I've accomplished something when I track down something wonderful in a pile.
Used bookstores are lovely. The ones here are too organized for their own good, though.
Organized used bookstore SHOULD be an oxymoron, IMO.
Yep...but when they cost $6.00 for three months...and you split that with your roommate...20th Century doesn't seem too bad :)
Little Lord Fauntleroy personified is the way I see Kerry, or a mean version thereof. A jerk! Yeah!
At least it was circa 1978.
'Twas there I took my little pocket money to feed my Hardy Boys jones, and there I bought my first Hobbit and LotR and dreamed of Silmarils.
There were at least three above-ground levels, and two below ("the dungeon", where the old odd books slumbered).
I'd go back today if I could...if only to see how the years have treated it.
