Btw s2 of Scrubs is still on backorder, apparently there are shipping problems in Sydney again. Will send it along when I have it in my hands (probably in time for s3 as well :)

[madscot.livejournal.com]

Live them down? You must be joking. And please, no more, please!

[taleya.livejournal.com]

nupnupnup, gonna send. I was planning to, it's just they ran out of stock before I sent the other stuff

Besides, I read that card from you and OH! He's got more DVDs than you, and he's not intending on sharing! Fight back! :P

3. a band, a song and an album: no clue - we don't have even close to the same taste in music

You'd be surprised. I have incredibly eclectic tastes (from 20's jazz and blues through classical, Indie, heavy metal, soul, rock, and all the way up to electro industrial)

Besides, we both like Sarah McLachlan IIRC yesno?

[taleya.livejournal.com]

Oh, and one day I shall challenge you to a fart-a-thon.

Buy a microphone >:D

[residentgeek.livejournal.com]

Silent but deadly, baby. Silent but deadly.

[taleya.livejournal.com]

While there are few things as satisfying as letting off a corker that silently seeps into people's sinuses, and watching their faces gradually contort from a peaceful mein into a mask of horror as they start to claw at the walls for air...

Sometimes you just can't beat the sheer psychological terror induced by a good solid fart that rents the air in twain.

[residentgeek.livejournal.com]

Just don't fluff the covers. That's totally uncalled for.

[taleya.livejournal.com]

hmm. What's your view on Dutch Ovens?

[residentgeek.livejournal.com]

That's totally inhumane. Probably hilarious, but then I'd be sleeping on the couch for a month, and it's not that comfortable. Especially with the cheeto crumbs all over it.

Thanks to urbandictionary.com for their definition, otherwise I wouldn't have had a clue what you were talking about.

[residentgeek.livejournal.com]

I have everything from Van Halen to Amy Grant on my playlist. In fact, the first 10 bands are: 3 Doors Down, Melissa Etheridge, Tonic, Chumbawumba, Blue Oyster Cult, Enigma, REM, Amy Grant, John Mayer, and Van Halen. It just gets more random from there. But I don't do the industrial stuff that you really like.

Sarah McLachlan is in my top 5. I love her. Even went to see her in concert, which hardly ever happens anymore.

So I guess I would recommend: band - Tonic, song - Into the Mystic by Van Morrison, album - MTV Unplugged by 10,000 Maniacs (it's a live album and I love live albums)

[taleya.livejournal.com]

3. a band, a song and an album: Um... I don't think you'd like the sort of stuff I listen to

Try me (http://members.dodo.com.au/~m00f/music.txt) (sadly outdated list...)

[taleya.livejournal.com]

Alas my system appears to be in somewhat of a bother since one of my hard disks had the damnable rudeness to up and die on me.

No data's been lost, but yeah, I'll letcha know when I get the samba share back up and the FTP :P

[taleya.livejournal.com]

I don't really hate everything...I just get so damned frustrated. There's a better way - and it's right in front of everyone. They're just too fucking self-absorbed to actually pull their heads out of their arses and reach for it. grrr.
