Generally have tried to stay off the computer today. I was watching the Lost DVDs in my desk chair, so I could turn around and check my email if I heard a ding, but for the sake of my eye twitch, I'm trying to stick to TV, class reading, letter writing, cleaning--things that do not involve staring at a small, bright screen. For a few days, anyway.

My new journal! (Paper journal, I mean. It came in yesterday.)

Holocaust Survivor Simon Wiesenthal Dies.

A story that starts off with an almost noirish rhythm: "Business was bad. The city was hell. They got to talking. She had an apartment on Lee Circle but no food or water; he had those things in a ruined house over on the Esplanade..."

Elijah Wood addresses Dominic Monaghan's assertions they are deeply, gayly in love:  "Dom's actually going to have my child. We're very excited, very proud. We're going to name it Frodo. He wanted it to be called Mary [sic], but I thought since it was my sperm I get to choose."

The Lost commentaries: heh. "The Moth": "So... did you guys beat Hufflepuff, or...?" And I like how, in "Hearts and Minds" (don't worry, no spoilers), the writer-producers are all like, "And we thought it would be such a big, surprising twist" and the actors were like, "...Yeah. We totally saw it coming. We always thought it would happen."

anatsuno pointed out that Spreadshirt might actually be better for overseas buyers, particularly in terms of shipping, so I'll give that a go as well. I don't want it to turn out that we have "American versions" and "European versions," but with the different printing styles and fabrics available, it may end up that way. I have a feeling that it'll go easier if I let go of the idea of having exactly the same shirts in both stores, and just take advantage of the different things available.

Oh, by the way: exactly one month until the book comes out in Britain. I don't know about anything else, but when I know, I'll tell you. A fellow writer also suggested that I computer-print my bookplates rather than have someone else print them, so I'll probably set up a simple design and get some square-ish labels in bulk to print on. Even on draft quality the ink might end up costing a bit, but it's still less than y'all shipping books to me and me shipping them back.

(Yes, there will be a Lost recap tomorrow. Even if I'm not caught up with season one by then.)

LMAO @ Elijah and Dom. XD

[carolz.livejournal.com]

In Britain? What about Canada? We always get left out ;)

I've seen that journal before. It's pretty, however I've got to have my spiral binding because I tend to rip things out. The whole journal would fall apart if I went with sewn binding.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Canada will be settled at the same time as the U.S. Keep in mind, I am actually American, so it's not like a North American release isn't a priority for me.

[urox.livejournal.com]

Uh, Cleo? Your new icon, while pretty, kinda looks like someone straining on the toilet [/me ducks!] and I had to share that thought.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hey, go tell it to Brian Froud.

[erinlin.livejournal.com]

Yes, there will be a Lost recap tomorrow. Yeah! *happy dance*

SQUEE BABY FRODO

[the-wanlorn.livejournal.com]

Me and all my sutiemates and all my semi-suitemates are trying to get Lost finished by the season premiere, since I bought one of them the box set for her birthday.

We're on episode 2. ;-)

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah... good luck with that...

[chocotaku.livejournal.com]

So tell me, have you found all the easter eggs on the disc yet? (http://www.dvdreview.com/eastereggs/collect/751.html)

[leucocrystal]

Elijah and Dom are hilarious. Screw that, the entire LotR cast is always so sarcastic and funneh, they are made of awesome.

And you? Are also made of much awesome. I have been missing the LOST recaps verreh much. ♥

[princessstarr.livejournal.com]

YES! Lost recap!!

The one thing that's now making my Wednesday better...YAY!

[cmere.livejournal.com]

A Lost recap! You've just made my night.

I'm so excited to get my book, as well. :D :D :D

[sefia.livejournal.com]

Oh my GOD, Lost recap. HOW I HAVE MISSED THEM! I had somehow forgotten to get excited about that part! Now I am excited TO THE MAX! I mean, you're the one that convinced me to to watch the show in the first place, haha. I didn't even watch the first few episodes until the DVDs came out, I just read the recaps. <3

[arayuldaiel.livejournal.com]

I love Elijah and Dom. They're just the cutest people ever. And besides, we all know that Billy/Dom is where it's at.

YAY for Lost. I can finally look forward to Wednesdays again :D

You could see the cost of stickers from vistaprint or something similar, which you can customize and then sign...

[outinthestorm.livejournal.com]

Out of curiousity, are you ever going to go back and recap the last episodes of series one? Because I would have to send you TimTams if you did.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Hee, I am. I was hoping to have them finished by tomorrow, but I'm not even started, and there's four of them. (Hell, I still haven't even seen "Born to Run.") But I have the DVDs, and I'll try to catch up later this week--I'm trying to rest my eyes for a couple of days, plus I have class tomorrow.

*happy-dance at thought to cleo-lost-nessy-good-nesss-ness*

[dramedy.livejournal.com]

I saw that in those newsweeks, and my sister and I are going to paste them with this sparkly collage glue. and add feathers.

I love Dom and Lij (I am still mad my dad made me stay at the stupid blue jays game instead of letting me go see everything is illuminated).

Oh, and americans can order off of amazon.co.uk btw. my mum does I think. and I tested it out to check and they let me put in a US addy, so i think it'll be ok XD

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah--you can definitely order from Amazon UK. The problem is more the shipping, and that the editions will have different spelling and a few minor changes. :)

[athena799.livejournal.com]

I really can't tell if the Hobbit love is a joke or not 0.o

[onlyinlexington.livejournal.com]

I skimmed the article that it links to and apparently it's a joke.

[supersyncspaz7.livejournal.com]

eeeeeeee, that journal is PRETTY.

I loved the commentary for "The Moth". I was watching it late at night and my nosy brother busts in my room like, "What's so funny?" and I couldn't explain it to him. I loved the part where he was like, "blah blah blah Charlie and Jack consumate their relationship etc..."

[(Anonymous)]

Hee, I was just about to send you that Elijah Wood quote. I saw it in the print version of Newsweek, which I get but rarely have the chance to read.

[particle-person.livejournal.com]

...and that was me up there. This weird new LJ login thing keeps screwing me up.

[firefly-ca.livejournal.com]

Hey, I have that journal! Six journals from now, I may actually be using it. I'm a bit of a Journal addict, I'm pretty sure when I die, I'll have twenty blank ones sitting around still waiting to be used. Hey, if Charlie can have his heroin, I can have my notebooks. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it.

And that Hufflepuff comment from The Moth commentary? Probably my favourite thing in the DVDs. Along with anything Harold does in the blooper real. Damn, that man is funny.

[particle-person.livejournal.com]

OMG, Kate Moss has lost a contract due to cocaine use, which she has actually confirmed.
Kate Moss Is Dismissed by H&M After a Furor Over Cocaine (http://www.nytimes.com/2005/09/21/business/media/21moss.html?ex=1127966400&en=2a534db1fa1c5736&ei=5070&emc=eta1)

[princessmandys.livejournal.com]

squeestreme! i dunno if i should feel guilty or not with katrina, but SQUEESTREME! LOST...and a baby Domjah! lol....*un-lady-like snort of laughter for elijah's sperm...*

[katels.livejournal.com]

Hurrah for Lost! You are an angel, you know that?

Bookplates sound like a fantastic idea.

Thanks for the Simon Wiesenthal link. I hope other people read that from having read your LJ. With Holocaust denial on the rise, it's a real blow to lose someone like him (though, as someone in the article mentioned, it was expected). Sorry, I'm a Holocaust scholar, I get a bit too into it. :) But yeah, I hope that more people learn about him as a result of you posting that link.

[ambiguousreason.livejournal.com]

Elijah and Dom are so awesome, seriously. And I totally still need to watch the LOST commentaries.

LOST recap? Yay! I'm even more excited now than I was before, if that's even possible. :D

[sea-of-tethys.livejournal.com]

Oh yay, I love those journals! I've got this one: http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/ref=br_1_1/601-7099208-4926523?%5Fencoding=UTF8&frombrowse=1&asin=1551562855

Does CafePress do small buttons, by the way? Cos those would be cool.

[cleolinda.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I've been putting up mini buttons as well. : )
