In other news, the new MacBook Pro is out. As far as I can tell, the 13-inch version has exactly the same specs and features (with an additional SD card slot) as my machine, the only difference being that it is about $200 cheaper. Sigh, whatever, I'm moving on... onto saving for a decent camera, for one.

:D

You know, I keep on meaning to get my hands on Ashes To Ashes, but I figure I really don't need to add more to this list.

[chib-it.livejournal.com]

it should be at the TOP of your list! :P It's pretty awesome (hate to say it but I'm loving it more than LOM...)

I didn't know you had an eljay! I think this is Suzanne, anyway. Are you here usually or are you just procrastinating?

Deadwood! I was just thinking I need to watch that! It was onsale in Costcos for $20. I may have to invest.

Oooh, watch Across the Universe! I really like it. :D

Hahah I have The Picture of Dorian Gray too, and I haven't read it either. I did start, but it's been so long now that I'd have to start again.

This Pride and Prejudice and Zombies sounds interesting too, hehe.

And read Narnia! they're only short as well, you could polish them off in little chunks really quick!

I'll join you for the last season of Charmed! I've not seen it yet. Must finish it, gets progressively crappier as it goes along...

Giants of the Frost is teh awesomes! Lots of other cool books you have. (Jeebus, I must be tired, I spoke in Yoda-speak by accident). I've only been able to finish one Charles Dickens book properly -- they tend to suffer from serialitis. But hey :).

Eh when I bought my last ipod I had a similar thing happen...such is life :(.

Emma is the hardest book you'll ever have to read. And Jonathon Strange and Mr Norrell is the easiest. Just saying.
