Serenity!
WOOOT! Serenity finally came out on DVD today!!!! Naturally I bought it today (looks embarrassed) lol.
Well I telephoned Sanity (S), HMV (S), Target (N), Kmart (N), Video Ezy (SO), Civic Video (H), and Castle Records (Y)
S = supply problems
N = don't have it
SO = sold out
H = hire only
Y = HAS IT
So yeah I asked Castle Records to hold a copy for me, and went in and picked it up!
Later I met Wilson (what are the chances) and we went to Kmart - lo and behold there it was, $3 cheaper than what I bought it for! AARGHHH stupid Kmart, I mean, they told me they did not have it!
Tis the most awesome movie ever though :)

Our Future ...
I had a small group of people over today for a 50s styled dinner party :D. It went awesomely well, and we all had our 'fortunes' told ... These are they.
KEIRA
One day when you are in the supermarket buying groceries a man is going to come up to you, greet you effusively, and, much to your embarrassment, seize your wrist and rub the tip of his nose against it. You are about to shout for Security when he asks, “Don’t you remember me? The Aliens kidnapped us and took us on the spaceship Grxbjik to the Planet Trisskko orbiting the star of Cerebus. We were together for quite a while. You must remember?” Now it will so happen that you will have had a number of disturbing dreams recently of being held down against your will and of travelling effortlessly over a very dark sky with the earth far below you. You are too embarrassed to mention this, however, and you tell the man roughly to stop nuzzling your wrist. He says it is the way the Aliens taught all of you to greet each other. By this time other people in the aisle are stopping and staring, and suddenly the man will take fright and run off. You will find the incident disturbing, and you will decide to put the strange thoughts you keep having to rest by becoming an astronaut. You do an intensive Get-fit course, take a degree in Astrophysics, and persuade NASA to take you on. You will be on the first manned spaceship to Mars, and you will be the first astronaut to float in a bath on a spaceship. Later you will write your autobiography and after its publication you will receive a number of letters from people claiming to have been on the spaceship Grxbjik with you. They will claim to recognise you from the photograph on the flyleaf. You will not have mentioned the supermarket incident in the book, so this will set you wondering once more. You find yourself absentmindedly starting to greet people by rubbing your nose on their wrists. However your doctor sends you for a short stay in a charming hospital, and on your return the unsettling thoughts vanish and you settle down in a nice house in Canberra and marry the Prime Minister.
LYNDA
You will soon take a keen interest in politics and, in a short period of time, will rise to become one of the most remarkable Prime Ministers in Australia’s history. One of your first acts will be to hire a genealogist who will trace your ancestry back (via a few convenient turns) to the Royal House of England. You will then declare Australia independent and yourself its first Australian monarch, as well as Prime Minister. You will then de-federate Australia and become monarch and Prime Minister of each state, thereby increasing your income vastly in one brilliant stroke. You will affiliate the states culturally with a number of countries such as: Lithuania, Uzbekistan, Mali, Andorra and Greenland, and militarily with the USA, the United States of America, the States United of America, and Disneyland. You will, like your predecessor, spend your hols on a cattle ranch in Texas. Then, one day, you will have a mysterious illness with a high fever, and when you recover you will run away with a former Tibetan monk and be lost to history.
ASH
You are going to go to America on holiday, but while you are there you will be very impressed by the Amish in Pennsylvania, and you will join their community, After two years with them you will be missing modern inventions so much that you will leave, and the giddy excitement of getting into a car again after two years of going on foot, or by horse and buggy, will go to your head, and you will become a racing car driver. You will be the overall winner of the Grand Prix three years running, and you will then retire to Monaco and become great friends with several ex princesses and princes of Europe, and the Godfather of the Mafia. Eventually, however, you will return to Sydney and settle down in a suite of rooms in a Darling Harbour hotel with a splendid view of the Casino, and you will found a powerful society called the League of Nutty Knitters, and you will knit several tons of garments for a charity for ex convict entrepreneurs and failed executives.
WILSON
You are going to be the captain of an ice-breaking ship in the Antarctic. You will be very good at your job, but you will develop one or two eccentricities. You will keep a pet seal in the bathroom attached to your cabin and will enjoy luxurious baths with the seal, both of you playing with the bath bubbles. You will name it Porky. You will also spend several hours of every night ice-skating on the nearest big iceberg. You will be performing in an ice ballet choreographed by yourself. Unfortunately one night you will break a leg and retire from the sea to run a model Home for the mentally impaired, and raise butterflies together with your partner, a star graduate of the Home.
STEPH
You are going to leave town one weekend; then you are going to join a Bulgarian circus, take the stage name Zorca, and achieve world wide fame as a fire-eating acrobat, until you marry the lion tamer, and have eight children, all of whom also become fire-eating acrobats who do a group act known as the Flaming Octet. You will live in a luxury caravan with all mod cons, with eight tents attached for the children, and you will be especially fond of your spouse’s splendid curly black moustache. Most of the children will also have moustaches.
TERRY
You are going to discover a great talent for music and you are going to become the conductor of one of the most prestigious orchestras in the world. After two years of this the exercise will have given you a tiny, tiny waist and you will be offered a lucrative contract to model a new line of clothing modelled on the Minoan costumes of the figures painted on the walls of the excavated palace at Knossus in Crete. You will, however, disapprove of the waist level of the necklines and you will turn the contract down. Despite the prestigious nature of your job the offer will have made you restless and ready for a change of direction, and you will become a lighthouse keeper. The marvellous acoustics you will organise for your C.D. player will send the sounds of classical symphonies booming across the water and will be instrumental in saving just as many ships from the rocks as the light itself. Captains will send their ships fleeing in the opposite direction fearing that some supernatural sea creature from legend has materialised. You, however, will be snug and happy, drinking hot Milo or cold tequilas waving a wooden spoon and swaying from side to side as your waist grows ever smaller and smaller.
hehehe funny stuff

Americans
Josh sent me this e-mail, and I thought it was hilarious. "This is the transcript of the ACTUAL radio conversation of a US Naval Ship and the Canadians, off the coast of Newfoundland, Oct 95. Radio conversation released by the Chief of Naval Operations 10-10-95. Canadians: Please divert your course 15 degrees to the South, to avoid a collision. Americans: Recommend you divert your course 15 degrees to the North, to avoid a collision. Canadians: Negative. You will have to divert your course 15 degrees to the South to avoid a collision. Americans: This is the Captain of a US Navy ship. I say again, divert YOUR course. Canadians: Negative. I say again, You will have to divert your course. Americans: THIS IS THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER USS LINCOLN. THE SECOND LARGEST SHIP IN THE UNITED STATES ATLANTIC FLEET, WE ARE ACCOMPANIED BY THREE DESTROYERS, THREE CRUISERS, AND NUMEROUS SUPPORT VESSELS. I DEMAND THAT YOU CHANGE YOUR COURSE 15 DEGREES NORTH, I SAY AGAIN, THAT'S 15 DEGREES NORTH, OR COUNTER MEASURES WILL BE UNDERTAKEN TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THIS SHIP. Canadians: We are a lighthouse. Your call."
