There's not much going on in my life lately. To sum up: work is very slow and it's driving me crazy; my husband should have a job this week, but I don't know which one; my cat is on a diet - yes I have to limit the amount of food I give him so he can drop a few pounds; the bridesmaid's dress for my sister's wedding should arrive this week - and then i have to have it fitted; the wedding is in a few weeks, and I can finally see my family after a year and a half; and finally, the weather is just beautiful - no more heat, and I can sleep better at night.

Otherwise the rest of my life is all about TV and movies. I've finally managed to get the entire second season of "Twin Peaks" onto CD-R, but haven't had time to watch them yet. In fact, I just watched the final episode of the first season last week, and I've had the DVD's since April! It's so much fun reviewing Twin Peaks after -- 15 years!!! it's terribly difficult to believe it's been that long since that show was on TV and I was so hooked. I've heard rumours that a the second season is finally going to be released onto DVD this fall - but the big problem is that they are possibly going to release it together in a set with Season 1, which I already own. that would be bad. I would just have to go and try to get rid of the Season 1 disks on Ebay (along with the millions of other people who have been waiting somewhat patiently for Season 2). I wish it wasn't so difficult to get good TV shows on DVD. It seems that now you can only get "Beavis and Butthead" episodes on Mike Judge's collections - the old Time Life collections are now being sold for outrageous amounts on Ebay.
and I honestly don't think that "Northern Exposure" is even available on DVD - is it? if so, it must be expensive too.

There have been very few TV shows that have ever really gotten my attention over the years, and I can name just a handful that I absolutely never missed or that I had to see every episode - and right now only "Twin Peaks" and "Northern Exposure" and "X-Files" come to mind (though I never did watch the last few seasons of X-Files once Agent Mulder was gone). I'm hooked on "Six Feet Under", but since that show came out years ago, on cable, I'm watching them on DVD so it doesn't seem the same. It's more like watching short films. Oh, and of course right now I'm totally addicted to "Supernatural." Truthfully it's not the same quality as "X-Files", but it is such a fun show (with the added highlight being, of course, that those Winchester boys are just too gorgeous).

Oh, and before I go, I need to plug this community which I just found. [personal profile] dawnie1970 you will love this:

thanks - now I remember that they came out several years ago, but they have really gone down in price. someday, I will save enough for all of them...

Bob is frightening. are you a David Lynch fan? his movies almost always have some crazy characters.

but there's Agent Cooper to save the day - *sigh*

I love Twin Peaks!!

He seriously scares me Laura, in fact I have to fast forward those scenes!!! lol

I love Lynch, I have no idea what his movies are about, but thats what I love, you have to think, interprut you know!!
Oh my Kyle is sweet!

And yeah it was cult viewing here in the UK, I never missed an episode, the peaks rocks!!

haha - it's so funny that you say you have no idea what his movies are about. twin peaks was that way towards the end. Mulholland Drive I had to watch about three times to really "get" though I probably couldn't sum it up easily. I love his images though and symbols and all. I'm gonna watch one this week -Lost Highway. haven't seen it yet. yay!

I'm so surprised to hear that Twin Peaks was so popular in the UK. at the time I didn't know it was even playing there.

David Lynch is the best - and Agent Cooper (aka Kyle MacLachlan) is hot!! shaggable totally!

I just watched Lost Highway last night - what a trip, and kind of creepy. but I loved it even though it didn't make much sense, as usual. my theory is that if something by Lynch actually makes total sense, and is linear and straightforward, it's not his. wait for my review later...

Bill Pullman is a cutie too!

I joined. Sounds like fun! Oh, wow, 15 years for Twin Peaks???? I feel really old now. When that was on, it was my favorite show, I ws totally obsessed. And the X-Files - Mulder and Scully owned me. I feel all nostalgic now, must put X-Files in my queue.

hey you are younger than I am... age is only in the mind and I'm just a youngster most of the time! who needs to grow up, huh?

yes it's been a whole 15 years since Twin Peaks and I can't remember it. I've got to schedule time to watch all of the 22 episodes I just downloaded. *whew*

ah, X-Files is love. especially earlier shows.

enjoy!!
