  • Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Season Eight

    March 20th, 2007 [Arts & Entertainment, Books, General, Leisure & Recreation, Movies, Television]

    I am SO excited to be linking to Things From Another World (TFAW), partially because they have a TON of really awesome merchandise, but at least for now, mainly because they’re a retailer for the new Buffy comic.

    I’m very excited about the pending arrival of this new comic. If it could just come five minutes ago, that would be good. Did I mention I’m excited? More Buffy! Buffy Season 8! An eighth season of my FAVORITE show ever! It’s supposed to pick up where the television series left off. Not that this gap hasn’t been filled by a million fanfic writers, but still – this comes from the TOP: Joss Whedon himself (well, in concept anyway).

    Through TFAW you can preorder the next few issues, and see the cover art, which is already posted. They also have lots of Buffy memorabilia and other fun stuff, including the DVD box sets of Buffy AND Angel.

    Check out more Buffy stuff!

    Even if you’re not into Buffy, I hope you’ll take a moment to check out the store and see if they have anything that does interest you. 😀

    iMixes (Live from Phoenix)

    February 8th, 2007 [Arts & Entertainment, Leisure & Recreation, Music]

    Some iTunes mixes I thought you might enjoy…

    • 80’s Radio
      icon – A mix of all my favorite 80’s songs (ha, cool, the airport radio just started playing “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun!”)

    • Summertime
      icon – Songs that remind me of summer. Don’t ask me why!

    There’ll be plenty more to come… I love making playlists, and I have some really great ones on my iPod.

    Some music to check out

    February 7th, 2007 [Arts & Entertainment, Leisure & Recreation, Music]

    Well… I’m going out of town for a while (I’ll try to post a few times if I get a chance!), and I have a 13-hour airplane / airport day ahead of me. I’m just making sure my iPod is well-stocked with all the important tracks!

    Highlights of what I’ll be listening to tomorrow:

    There, that ought to keep me busy for now!

    Try Netflix!

    February 7th, 2007 [Arts & Entertainment, Leisure & Recreation, Movies]

    Netflix, Inc. My partner and I LOVE Netflix. We can rent all the movies, new / old-school / classic TV shows, and documentaries we want for one low monthly price (our queue has at least 250 DVDs in it right now, not counting the dozens and dozens and dozens we’ve already been through! hehehe). We can also connect with our friends and leave cute little notes about the movies we loved and the movies we didn’t love so much. It’s way fun to see what our friends have in their queues.

    Netflix is SO easy to use, especially if you’re one of those people who gets lots of late fees because you just can’t get around to taking the DVDs back to the store. They mail you the DVD(s) (the number depends on which plan you get), you watch them, you pop them back into their envelopes (no postage required!) and stick ’em in the mail! Keep each disc as long as you want; there are no late fees!

    The turn-around is very rapid; once you mail it, you usually have a new one within a couple of days. You can also switch back and forth between plans, so you can pay less during the school year when you don’t have as much time, and get a better plan during the summer when you’re all about watching movies. I love this, because I’m a law student, so during the year I don’t have lots of time for movies, but the second the school year is over, I want to just park myself in front of the TV and catch up on everything I’ve missed!

    Right now, my partner and I are zipping through Punky Brewster and The West Wing, as well as a whole slew of movies we’ve been meaning to see. That’s another great thing about Netflix — new releases come out pretty quickly. If you always manage to miss movies while they’re in the theater, worry no more – as soon as you think of a current release you don’t want to forget, you can save it to your queue, and when it’s released it’ll come to you according to your queue order.

    Finally, Netflix is a great way to preview films before you take the step of adding them to your home DVD collection. There are plenty of movies we really like but don’t necessarily want to own… but it’s such a hassle getting to the rental store, and then returning it… this way you don’t waste money buying DVDs you’re going to watch once!

    Convinced? Try it now, for free!

    Barnes & Noble Membership – essential for students!

    February 6th, 2007 [Arts & Entertainment, Books, Coupons & Discounts, Education, Financial, Leisure & Recreation]

    If you’re a student like me, odds are you’re spending obscene, insane (ha, obscane!) amounts on textbooks. I’m in law school, so you can imagine what my textbook bills are like!

    Luckily, I figured out early that there are ways to get your books at low prices without having to buy a torn-apart used copy – not that used books in good shape aren’t great! Sometimes, though, you just can’t find one in decent shape, and you have to buy new. Do what I did – get a Barnes & Noble membership!

    For $25/year, you’ll get in-store and online member prices ranging from 10%-40% off the list price, but the real paydirt comes around the various holidays, when you check your email and find online coupons offering 15-25% off a single item in addition to your member discount. Friends, fellow students, THIS is what you really signed up for. Use those big chunky coupons to buy your big chunky textbooks. It’s SO WORTH IT. You’ll get them particularly often around the holiday season, but they still show up throughout the year. I was able to get all new books this semester, for LESS money than it would have cost me to get used books. Granted, you won’t always get one JUST when you need to order books, but especially for the winter/spring term, you’re generally in pretty good shape.

    Want to cash in on these awesome discounts?

    Sign up for a Barnes & Noble membership now!

    P.S. Did I mention that you can usually use these coupons on used textbooks as well???

    Harry Potter – How excited are you?

    February 6th, 2007 [Arts & Entertainment, Books, Leisure & Recreation]

    Hello, is anybody else getting impatient for the upcoming release of the final Harry Potter book??? I know I certainly am. I still need to reread the fifth and sixth books. Every time a new HP book comes out, I reread the entire series beforehand. I don’t think I’ll have time to do that this time! LOL. I’ll still read the last couple, though.

    Want to avoid waiting in loooong lines? Preorder it now, from Amazon or from Barnes & Noble.

    In the meantime, come on, out with it – who has theories or predictions? There are book 6 spoilers here so I’ve made the text white: I think a lot of us think Snape did kill Dumbledore, but that Dumbledore told him to, if it came down to it. It’s possible Dumbledore was actually wrong in trusting Snape, but it would seem like such a waste otherwise… More commentary after I read book 6 again. I tend to tear through it the day it arrives, so it’s been a long time since I read it!

    EDIT: Possible spoilers in the comments too! Just so you know!

    My first recommendation!

    February 2nd, 2007 [Arts & Entertainment, Leisure & Recreation, Music]

    If you haven’t already heard Lily Allen’s CD, “Alright, Still,” where have you been???

    When I first heard Lily Allen on NPR, I thought her song had a peppy, catchy melody. After a minute I started to catch on – she’s a pop princess, to be sure, but her lyrics are pure smartass. The album features tracks such as “Alfie,” where the narrator pleads with her brother to put the weed down and get up off his ass, and LDN, where Allen shares a side of London that only an urbanite can appreciate.

    If you don’t already have the album, here’s a taste of what you’re missing:
