don't be dull, be fannish

Last night, I bought a Streamload account. I want to try it out since I've heard lotsa good about it. Although I wouldn't have believed what they were asking for in the sign-in form. The phone number on the back of the card? What for? I mean, I live in the Czech Republic. Do they want to call across the ocean just to ask about one credit card? O.o Not even Amazon goes that far!

And I plundered my bank account and bought books for almost 100 $ via Amazon!

"Earthian 3" by Yun Kouga
"Yellow 3" Makoto Tateno
"The Ruins of Ambrai" by Melanie Rawn
"The Last Mortal Man" by Syne Mitchell
"Ritual of Proof" by Dara Joy
"Moon Called" by Patricia Briggs

I can't wait to get them! *bounces*

I almost caught up on the Angel Heart anime. It's really good. And getting better. I didn't like the first arc much. But now, that Ryo is back to being City Hunter, it's really cool. And this anime has the most cool music!

Also trying to catch up on GunXSword. I started downloading SHRIMP's version and it's not half bad :) Thank you for the tip, Sharon *kisses* But I completely forgot how silly some of the baddies are XD

And it was almost 30°C in the shadow here today *melts* Hothothot!

What? This evening. I spent two hours reorganizing my web site and I finally posted all the stories I stored away like a hamster. And all the time I tried to find a way to throttle our neighbor's dog or at least bash him over his black head! X( You see, there's been a car accident on the street in front of our house tonight. The driver was lucky, he didn't hit the tree directly but kinda managed to squeeze the car through the gap between the trunk and the sturdy metal fence. Yeah, they had to call an ambulance for him and his passenger but they were alive and standing on their own. But because of all the humbuck our neighbor's dog started to bark and didn't stop until an hour ago or so. He is a cute little doggie but has the voice of a banshee - you feel like tearing your hair out after a couple of minutes!

But on the bright side, emule finally downloaded the first episode of the AD Police anime for me. The TV series, not the OVAs. And I really like it. It's like an US cop show set in the future where the AD Police department fights against wayward robots. And Keiji and Hans, the main characters and partners, are kinda like fire and water. Too bad that there are so few sources for this series. I can't wait to see the second ep!

Oh, and I read a fantastic Starsky and Hutch gen fic too! Plaguing Perspectives by Paula Wilshe. Set after the two-parter The Plague, it describes a really tender scene between Starsky and Hutch from Starsky's POV. Kinda reminds me of all the gen smarm in the The Sentinel fandom.

Aaaaaand, PRO7 bought Numb3rs! They'll air the first episode this Monday evening!

So, maybe the evening wasn't such a waste afterall? :)
