'kay, some people will get some presents for Hamster's Eve, since i was broke as all get out until i got some money.
If i saw something you wanted that i love myself, i sent it, because i am vain like that.
Also, looks like someone sent me some Coen's Brother movies! i can not wait 'til they get here!
Well, I opened most of my Christmas presents Tuesday (there’s still a couple I haven’t got that are out on Amazon). Some of them I got way back in November. I really enjoyed this and was surprised at the gifts I got. I'll do these one at a time throughout the next couple days when I have something to say about each...
First, I’d like to thank Nick for the Mark Twain Mississippi Writings collection. I felt silly putting it on there, but it seemed like an American Library wouldn’t be complete without Huck Finn and Tom Sawyer. Plus I’ve never read Pudd'nhead Wilson, a little detective thing, so that should be fun.
Excerpt:
In that same month of February, Dawson's Landing gained a new citizen. This was Mr. David Wilson, a young fellow of Scotch parentage. He had wandered to this remote region from his birthplace in the interior of the State of New York, to seek his fortune. He was twenty-five years old, college bred, and had finished a post-college course in an Eastern law school a couple of years before.I’ll keep you posted.
He was a homely, freckled, sandy-haired young fellow, with an intelligent blue eye that had frankness and comradeship in it and a covert twinkle of a pleasant sort. But for an unfortunate remark of his, he would no doubt have entered at once upon a successful career at Dawson's Landing. But he made his fatal remark the first day he spent in the village, and it "gaged" him. He had just made the acquaintance of a group of citizens when an invisible dog began to yelp and snarl and howl and make himself very comprehensively disagreeable, whereupon young Wilson said, much as one who is thinking aloud:
"I wish I owned half of that dog."
"Why?" somebody asked.
"Because I would kill my half."
Thank you Josh and Nick! Both presents rock my asshole! (20th Century Ghosts and the Fly)
Get to the thread and let us know what you think after a few stories <3
Got the PBF book from Josh today... <3 <3 <3
Nick and Opaque please check your PMs.
Woo! I got Miller's Crossing and Barton Fink in the mail yesterday! I think Doc Holiday sent them, but i'm not sure. Thank you whoever it was!
I got The Princess Bride on UMD from Opaque. I'm going to watch it now at work since it's slow and all.
Thanks a lot for the flick! Two things that disappointed me though. One: I thought you'd buy me a necklace. Two: there was no Xeno short in the special features... D:
EDIT: I'm gonna clip the beard and grow one of those mustaches now...
Doc, did you ever get that Rock and Roll High School UMD from me?
Yes! Thank you. I just watched it tonight. Never have seen it before.
I opened all of my gifts on Christmas, but got yours about two weeks ago. It just had your real name on it, so I wasn't sure who sent it. I was about to write about it after I watched it.
Either on the box, or the commentary, it said that the original title was Disco High and was disco music!? What the hell?!? How in the Hell could the movie and these wacky kids possibly tare down the school to DISCO?!
we must summon the Josh to clarify this rubbish.
