Horoscope of Irony, Perhaps: It's a fine day to be a Sag [damn, it's good to be a gangsta]. The heavens are urging the whole world to be just as excessive, lavish and extravagant as you always seem to be. You'll help, too -- by showing us how it's done.
They say Sagittarians are lucky -- all the time. You, of course, may have something different to say about that in general, but for the next few weeks -- and for today, in particular -- you'll definitely have your share. Expect your luck to arrive through amazing situations, coincidental meetings and odd circumstances. Oh, and remember: there really is no such thing as a coincidence.
How's the weather up my ass, horoscope?
Star Wars finished. Rewarded self with raisin-and-hazelnut chocolate bar. Mmmmmhazelnuts.
Speaking of which: new Episode III posters.
Teh Squish reviews Ray, Hotel Rwanda, and The Aviator.
Heeee, Puppet Angel. I never watched the show, but still: hee.
Several fun things to pre-order at Amazon, if you'd like to help 4christina.org out while you're at it:
A Sin City making-of book! Now I just have to buy all the graphic novels as well;
A three-disc Phantom of the Opera DVD coming out in May, apparently in addition to one- and two-disc versions;
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, if you haven't ordered that yet;
The eventual Lost first season DVD set, coming out (I believe) this summer?
Believe it or not, this is true. A lot of my humor is based around the CAPSLOCK OF RAGE AND/OR HYSTERIA, I know, but that's basically something I do in writing because I'm not like that in person. I hate arguments, fights, yelling, all that jazz in real life... which I finally realized that y'all might not know just from reading my journal. So... The More You Know (ding!).

Your Love Number is |
9 You are a peaceful person, and you tend to have calm, stable relationships. Connecting deeply is another skill of yours, and you tend to know lovers well. Trusting and laid back, you are an easy person to love. Love can be a little blinding for you, so open your eyes a little more! |

I have all the graphic novels on CD O:-) There's this little program that lets you "read" scanned images of comic pages... it's really cool. You HAVE to read the "Sin City" comics, they're amazing. I'm excited about the movie, because, from the trailers, it seems it really captures the essence of the comics.
Anyway, if you're interested, I could send all the files to you :)

Date: 2005-02-20 09:22 pm (UTC)Based on the graphic novels "Sin City" (this was the first of all the stories and originally had no title, but Miller has since re-named it "The Hard Good-Bye"), "The Big Fat Kill" and "That Yellow Bastard", by Frank Miller. The infamous "opening footage" with Josh Hartnett and Marley Shelton is from the Sin City short-story "The Customer is Always Right" from the "Babe Wore Red" collection.
So, you have to at least read those three storylines before seeing the movie, I guess :)
Anyway, these are the files that I have:
Sin City - Episodes 001 - 013 (The Hard Goodbye) (1993)
Sin City - A Dame to Kill for - 001 - 006 (1993 - 1994)
Sin City - The Babe Wore Red and Other Stories (1994)
Sin City - The Big Fat Kill - 001 - 005 (1994 - 1995)
Sin City - Silent Night (1995)
Sin City - That yellow bastard - 001 - 006 (1996)
Sin City - Lost, Lonely & Lethal (1996)
Sin City - Sex And Violence (1997)
Sin City - Family Values (1997)
Sin City - Just Another Saturday Night (1998)
Sin City - Hell And Back - A Sin City Love Story - 001 - 009 (1999 - 2000)
That makes about 45 files... plus the little software package to read them. That should all fit in one CD. If you give me your address, I could send it to you by snail mail, no problem.
So, it's up to you ;)
