Ioan Gruffudd's birthday...

[fajrdrako]

Ioan Gruffudd is 32 today. Well, well, well. Happy birthday to him.



I miss Horatio Hornblower. I miss Century City. I hope we get more Fantastic Four.

You know, I could have SWORN I bought Century City off ebay. Then I was waiting for it to arrive and it didn't, so I go to the site and there's no record of it, and no sign in my emails of any correspondence, and now... did I dream it? Weird...

It's too bad you didn't get it, because I think it would be very cool to own. Maybe you're living in your own episode of The Twilight Zone?

I taped a bunch of episodes but I don't think I got them all.... or even saw them all. I'd really like to see the whole series, and not just because of Ioan, not even just because of Hector Elizondo, whom I also like. Because they were good stories!

Do you know how many episodes were made? Let's see if I can find it on IMDB... (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0377153/)

Did I ever let you know that I think I downloaded them all off eMule? They were good stories.

Having said that, my computer died yesterday. I'm typing this from work. I shall be most upset if all the stuff on my hard disc isn't okay...

Oh no! What distressing news - I do hope your computer recovers fast and without loss of material. [Note to myself - copy whatever I've downloaded lately onto CD a.s.a.p.]

[rosiespark.livejournal.com]

PC is being fixed, will hopefully be back this evening or tomorrow. Fingers crossed! The stuff I've downloaded should be safe, seeing that it mas mostly on my second hard drive. We'll see...

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

I'm glad to hear it will be back safe and healthy soon. I know how awful it can be to wait while the thing is being fixed.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Er... that was me, not logged in from work.

A drab, rainy day. I'm counting the minutes till Malta!

Downloading Century City - what a good idea.

[rosiespark.livejournal.com]

When do you get here? You did tell me, but I'm afraid I've forgotten. Very soon is all I know. Huzzah! :)

If you'd like any episodes of Century City that I have downloaded that you haven't already got, I can easlily put them on cd for you. Just say the word!

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Yes, very soon. My plane will fly at 1 pm tomorrow, about 18 hours from now. I arrive in Malta... at 12 noon on Thursday, I think. So is the trip 23 hours long? Well, no... I'm not sure how to factor in different timezones. I'm staying at the Grand Harbour Hotel (2124 6003).

As for Century City - I'd love those episodes but I'm not sure exactly what I have or don't have. I'll try to check before I leave. Suddenly the time seems *very* short and I'm not packed yet.

Excuse me while I go to pack...

[rosiespark.livejournal.com]

I didn't realise it was quite so soon - hope you see this! My phone number, dialing from Malta (hah!) is 21 462515, but I'll be out (at work) on Thursday till 4 or so in the afternoon. I'll try and ring you when I get home - but if you want to try phoning me at any time, please do. We could maybe meet for a coffee in the evening - if you're not too tired after all that travelling, and if I'm not dead from work, that is.

PC's not back yet, so all this talk of exchanging episodes of Century city is currently a tad hypothetical... :(

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

I didn't realize it was quite so soon either. It snuck up.

I am about to do those last-minute things before getting picked up to go to the airport.

Thanks for the suggestion of coffee - that would be fun! - if I'm not jet-lagged to the point of incoherence. Actually it might be fun anyway. We shall see!

Hypothetical Century City is better than no Century City at all.

Looking at both our icons, it occurred to me that you'll be seeing the bastions and meeting Pickles in person very very soon. :D

Hope the packing went well - and you can always beg, borow or steal anything you might forget...

Safe journey!

Re: PS

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

thank you! I keep putting more books into my backpack, then thinking "I won't have time for these... but suppose I run out of things to read at the airport?"

Re: PS

[rosiespark.livejournal.com]

You can borrow books from me if you run out while you're here!

I have a spare copy of Memory (Bujold), BTW. Free to a good home. *g*

I keep telling myself that I just have to get through the next two days and then I can relax. The last three weeks or so have been very stressful, so I'm looking forward to my two weeks off. As long as I don't collapse in a limp heap on getting home from work tomorrow...

Anyway, will talk to you tomorrow. Whee! :D

Oh, thank you! I'm a little paranoid about running out of reading matter. I suspect you understand.

Oh, excellent! That's a book I almost packed to take with me to reread.

<>I keep telling myself that I just have to get through the next two days and then I can relax.

I was saying that to myself last week. Yes, it's been extremely stressful at work... this vacation is overdue and very welcome.

I'd better get to work on those last-minute things, like setting the VCR.

I think that one of the guys in CC was Batmanuel on The Tick. I've seen him doing a few things since then.

I just can't get that I didn't buy it... I was so sure! But then again, about 50% of the things I buy from Zshops don't arrive. I seem to be constantly asking for refunds of late.

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

The Tick was wonderful, but I mostly knew it as a comic not a TV show.

What's Zshops?

(P.S. sorry I haven't replied to you re the "CaptainsCabin" mailing list... will do so tonight, as soon as I find a moment.)

[iibnf.livejournal.com]

Z shops is the area of Amazon that allows people to sell their stuff directly.

Oh - I didn't know about that. It sounds like something I should check out.

[star-maple.livejournal.com]

Heh. I am going to go see a short film with him in it at the Vancouver International Film Festival today. What a coincidence!

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

Oh, how wonderful! Do let me know what you think of it. What's it called?

[star-maple.livejournal.com]

It's called "The Little Things."

[fajrdrako.livejournal.com]

I'll try to find it in future.
