Christmas #3, 2007 + Other Stuff

[senashenta]

I'm... spam-my today, aren't I? But finally, here's an actual entry. XD

Dad came up yesterday morning, and we exchanged gifts with him. He got my brother a sword, and my Christmas/birthday gifts were the Alien Quadrilogy (I've wanted it for years >3<) and the Tremors box set with all four movies. <3 He got the entire Space/1999 set from me (17 DVDs omg), and PoTC 3, and a huge set of Star Wars collectors keychains from Trunks.

I asked if he and Lois would be alright with the kennel and everything until her arm healed, because I was going to offer to stay with them for a while to help out, but he says they'll be okay; both Lois' sisters and her sons are going to help out around the farm, so hopefully they'll be able to keep up with what needs to be done. I'm relieved, that was really kind of worrying me. :)

Anyway! So lately I've gotten a bunch of DVDs to replace some of my VHS movies (I'm trying to upgrade, lawl), and have the following titles on VHS that are up for grabs if anyone wants them. Free to a good home, as long as you're willing to pay for the shipping on them because I'm poor and totally have no money left after Christmas. xD;

Shipping would be pretty cheap on most of them anyway, with the exception of the Alien set because that one's five tapes in a collector's box. All of them are Region 1 (US/Canada) VHS.

-LoTR: Fellowship of the Ring
-LoTR: Fellowship of the Ring (extended)
-Tremors 1/Tremors 2: Aftershocks (box set)
-Tremors 3: Back to Perfection
-Predator
-Alien 20th Anniversary Collection (Alien/Aliens/Alien3/Alien Ressurrection + Alien Legacy behind-the-scenes/making-of type VHS + a spiffy box for them)

If anyone's interested please let me know! ^_^

And now, RPG notes because I haven't made any in a while. Haha.

Hikaru; is in for some angst in the near future but doesn't know it yet. Allen was staying with him and Kaoru for a while after his bar got closed down, and one night he and Kaoru were drinking and ended up sleeping together. >>; Then Allen left, and Kaoru's all angst, and Hika's kind of like "...wtf is going on?" at the moment.

Kyo; gahugilhaerugfdhgdk;lk! The boy is proving to be so much more of a pain than I thought he was going to be! xD; At this point in-rp, Zelos and Sephiroth have actually come to blows fighting over him (at the Christmas party, no less), and Kyo was all pissed off at Seph for it. Then Vincent sat him down and had a chat with him about it, and explained that Seph was jealous, duh, and completely in love with him even if he wouldn't admit it... and now Kyo doesn't know wtf to do. He's taking advice from Dante about it. XD;

Demyx; Is typical Demyx, lol. He's happy living with Zexion and Nocturne (their new kitten), and happy that Axel lives down the hall from them, and happy that Roxas is in town, and happy because he's totally starting a boyband with Sora and Shuichi. BWAHAHA. X33 What he's not happy about, though, is Fate, as Fate was hit by a car and is in the hospital and seriously hurt right now. He's going to go visit him and bring him stuff to "cheer him up" later. I have yet to entirely determine what that means. >>;

Yuki; ...is the one who hit Fate with his car. >__>;; Eheh. He called an ambulance and then bailed once they showed up. Now he's all pissed off about the incident. Apparently Sephiroth got a look at him, so I imagine there's going to be many problems for him in the future. ^_^; For now though, he'll go about teaching and picking on Shuichi and pretend nothing happened.

Oh, and speaking of Fate, our Albel quit. Anyone want to pick him up for us? Fate needs his boyfriend. Or at least Maddie says he does, I personally think Fate's better off without that prick. lol. XD; Nevermind. >>;

Is the Alien set you got this one (http://www.amazon.com/Alien-Quadrilogy-Aliens-Resurrection/dp/B0000VCZK2/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1199148092&sr=8-1)? I got one I think either last Christmas or my birthday, I forget. Anyway, the... seventh? DVD (I think, the one with Resurrection), I couldn't get it to work. I tried it on three or four different players, including the computer, and it was like there was nothing on the disc past the menu. And besides that the other DVds I had a hard time getting to work. It would take the player like 10-15 minutes to load the disc, and sometimes it wouldn't load at all so I'd have to keep taking it out and trying again. x.x

Anyways, I sent it back to Amazon and got a replacement set, and had exactly the same problems. So I ended up sending that one back too and haven't bothered to try again. Guess I'll just stick to VHS. ^^;

O____o;

I think Imma go try all the discs right now.

Are Canadian DVDs coded the same as US ones (region 1)? I dunno if that would make a difference... Maybe the ones I got just came from a bad batch from the factory. *blinks*

[senashenta.livejournal.com]

Yeah, Canada and the US are coded the same. And I checked my discs last night, and they all work so... yeah, there must have been a bad batch. That sucks, though, it's such an awesome set. D:

[papercut917.livejournal.com]

Well that's good that they're not ALL glitched. Maybe I'll try again sometime, since I really need to upgrade those last few VHS we have (sold like 200+ in a garage sale last year). I still meed the Matrix DVD set too. And the first Pirates. And I forget what else. XD;

Yay for rpg drama! XD Your characters seriously seem to attract it. Especially Kyo. And I can't believe he's TRYING to listen to Dante, its not like Dante knows wtf is going on. :p

Btw, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

[senashenta.livejournal.com]

No, but he needs advice from someone. The poor thing is so lost when it comes to dealing with people and relationships. *pets Kyo*

Sankyuu~ it's on Thursday. :3
