bunchofgrapesWow, seems like it's been ages since I posted.
First, a little birthday biz to attend to. Um, just pretend I'm in the central time zone, where it's still May 23rd.
Hope your day was fabulous!
I bought a PS3 today. I bought it because I wanted to buy The Sopranos Season 6.2 on BluRay. I was going to buy a BluRay player however, while the TV I want to hook it up to is HD, I'd have to buy a new receiver too and I wasn't in the mood to mess with that right now. So the sales person suggested I buy a Playstation 3. It's the same price as a Sony BluRay and I can use it for other stuff. Seemed like a good idea. We'll see. Anyone have suggestions for games and such to go with it?
I just got over a Dexter obsession (holy crap, I love this show!), now I'm back into The Sopranos. I never saw season 6, although I know what happens in the finale, and I don't have HBO so I've always had to rely on the DVD's. After I finished with S2 of Dexter, I remembered that I bought season 6.1 of The Sopranos so I've been pacing myself, watching one episode a night while I'm on the treadmill. I forgot how much I love this show. Mob guys and serial killers. What does this say about me?
On a fic note, I'd love to see a good crossover with Brass and Tony Soprano. Did you know both characters went to Seton Hall? Plus there's that Newark connection.
Another thing I've gotten into? Law and Order: SVU. I'm always late to the game. I didn't start watching CSI until S5, I watched all of S1 and S2 of Dexter after S2 ended and I'm just now watching S6 of the Sopranos. With SVU I'm not so much into the characters as I am the cases. Most of what I've seen has been really good.
I'm addicted to Robek's Cardio Cooler. Just thought I'd throw that out there. I'm also addicted to blueberries and raspberries (I still blame![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
velocityofsound and her Brass/Sara friendship fic). Every year I get on some food kick. This year it's berries.
How happy am I that David Cook won AI? Stupid hairstyle aside, I liked him from the first time I heard him. Still, I just knew Baby Elmo was going to win so yeah, I was surprised. Apparently, I'm not the only one who thought he was completely overrated. I couldn't stand his 'aw shucks' attitude or his heavy breathing through every song, and honestly, every song sounded exactly the same.
Every year (well, almost every year), the girls get together in November. It used to be a beach trip because 4 of the 5 were on the East Coast. Last year, Tee moved to Arizona so that means 2 are West and 3 are still East. This year, since Bee always has to come East, I thought it would be new and different and fun if we all went to Vegas. I brought it up to the girls and they excitedly approved. We've been doing this since 2001, I think. These are all great friends I made in my first fandom and while we don't talk every day or even every 6 months and we've all drifted off to other things, we still look forward to our get together. Even if something happens and this trip doesn't work out, it's still pretty amazing that something like a 40+ year old fandom made us such good friends.
And just because I'm in love with his right thigh, not to mention his hand on the back of his head.

Date: 2008-05-24 05:47 pm (UTC)PS3 for the Blu-Ray is a very good idea. That was how Bri talked me into one. Two birds, one stone. Rock Band is the game we've got. It's pretty cool I have to admit.
And I still haven't hooked up the Dexter eps yet. I think I've seen one of them, but it has to be real late night viewing in our house.
Omg, PG on a motorcycle. I'm not sure it gets better.

Date: 2008-05-24 06:06 pm (UTC)I just about squeed my pants at the link you posted. Holy freakin' crap, those are just amazing! In the immortal words of Randy Jackson, AI poet extraordinaire, yo baby, check it out. PG in jeans is on fire, like molten hot, dawg!
Seriously, it does not get any better than the sight of PG on a Harley. And now I'm off to day dream about Brass in jeans and on a Harley.

I kind of just stared at the pics frozen, wondering if what I was looking at was really him on a hog. And chinos. I know, dead horse, but *chinos*.
But yeah, I'm sure they'll post up a stream of pics like they did last year, so hopefully we've got more coming.
