The wind is blowing so hard at the moment, it making everything is my room go batcrazy and it's AWESOME. Seriously - Melbourne storms are teh BOMB (see how groovy I am kids!) - but I had several Monroe moments with my skirt blowing up (which by the way - awesome skirt, black and floaty and $12.50!). I'm hoping for a thunderstorm - which they promised us (they being the weather bureau, my dad included) since NYE and STILL hasn't come! This wind looks promising. I neeeeeed to stop talking about the weather. Seriously. I can't help it though - It's in the blood! 

2007 is going to be an awesome television year. Heroes and Ugly Betty are both coming to Australia (I was hoping for Dexter, Which callmedaisy did a pretty (slightly disturbing) picspam here, but  sadly no.) It should be fun times ahead. Not to mention the return of Veronica Mars, Studio 60, House, Supernatural, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, Gilmore Girls. AND NEW DOCTOR WHO!! I saw the Christmas special and I COULDN'T breathe I was so excited. 

 Do you know what is a CRIME?!? They don't have last seasons DW as a box set in Australia yet. They sell the disks SEPERATLEY!! At $30 dollars a DISK! I could buy the UK box set for the same price. Seriously I hate Australian DVD's - they lack special features - they always come in UGLY and IRRITATING slim sets - I love the BIG DVD sets you used to buy - I have Buffy S1-S6 in the two parter, three disks sets. They are SO awesome, and SO SHINY.
And the sets I get from Amazon are even prettier! With the dust jacket things?! BRILLIANT!! Australia is CRAP - and they wonder why we downloaded things off the net and buy from overseas. Idiots.

Speaking of idiots. Work. I love my job, I do. BUT creepy icky guys, are so NOT OF THE FUN. I saw spared the pain of the creepy!dorks (who thankfully decided NOT to make an appearance), but we had the russian in (since 11am) who had been drinking heavy spirits ALL DAY had was in a very creepy, drunken state - he tried to convert me to worshiping the devil. I respectfully declined on the bases of worshiping to many Ancient Greek Gods to hold another in my heart. At least we had no violence this time, and I DIDN'T break any glasses. 

I volunteered my services as the driver to go pick up my sister at 1am - I'm usually up til then anyway - but now I've said that all I want to do is go to sleep. I hate it when that happens. Like this afternoon - I got home from work (hot and exhausted) to an empty house, I couldn't find the Good Weekend, couldn't get the VCR working (couldn't watch WEEDS!) and couldn't be bothered getting lunch together. So I lay under the fan, on the blissfully cold hardwood, and went to almost!sleep - does this happen at night when I need to sleep? NO. My brain is hardwired to PISS ME OFF. 

I leave for India in 15 days. Fun times. Freaking out. Just a little.

And it is So West Wing time. S5, a season I was watched, but didn't love, has become AWESOME. I crave it. *pets CJ*

Wait, when you say DW boxset, do you mean Doctor Who boxsets? Because both Nine and Ten's DVDs are out, and they're CHOCKED full of extras.

As in Australia?! As in PROPER boxsets? Where?! JB!? I hunted for them there and couldn't find them, only the loose sets. I have nine in loose, but I want ten in a pretty, pretty box set!

Yeah, they should be in JB. Ten/Tennant was only released in Australia on December 7, and it was VERY popular for Christmas, which might explain its elusive nature. They'll definately be in an ABC shop, but they tend to be more expensive. EzyDVD, JB, Big W, ABC they're both there. I would SERIOIUSLY suggest getting the season one box set, even if you have them loose, if you have the funds, because the extras will knock your socks off. They're only topped by the extras in season two, which are AWESOME. Hours and hours of extras. Both have each episode's confidentials.

There are two versions of boxset one, but here's what to look for:

Here's what to look for for season two:

I, like you, am OBSESSED with box sets!

That IS So exciting! I found them on the JB website last night, more expensive the usual but not as expensive as DVDs USED to be. I have the money, though I think I will resist the urge to gtet the Nine boxset - It seems silly to have two copies, plus there are other tv shows I need on DVD. BUT OMG THE PRETTY!!

Thankyou so much for informing me!
