Random Saturday Post

Randomity #1:
LJ loves us, yes it does. So okay it's a nice little trick to encourage people to spend more money on LJ but er, really where's the problem? ;-)

Randomity #2:
Still no sight of Numb3rs on M6 but as of next week we'll get both Empire and Battlestar Galactica - the new version, I mean - so I guess it'll do. Though seriously GIMME NUMB3RS! Speaking of which, torrentspy has been letting us down lately, I've turned to mininova a lot in the past month. Anyway, Numb3rs 2x11 is downloading so I'll watch it after I'm home from work, ie tomorrow around 4.00 am eek!

Randomity #3:
I don't like NCIS, I really don't, but yesterday we had the last two episodes of the second season and the last minute of the season finale? Shocked the hell out of me. I was forced - forced, I tell ya! - to download 3x01 just to see the follow up because DUDE!

Randomity #4:
Following a bet with [livejournal.com profile] dont_callmebabe, and because [livejournal.com profile] babycakesin was curious too, here comes a little Christmas Decoration picspam... er, of the casa di Mouse persuasion.

Let's start with my tree. There was one present only when I took the picture, but there are three more now. You can see also see the manger on the right.

And a little close up. The Magi are en route so they're on the left, which like embodies the looooooooong road they took to arrive. No really. Use your imagination, all right?

The fireplace, which has some little decorations on the mantelpiece as well:

And my cute little Christmas village - shut UP! I love it - which you were seeing on the right of the fireplace above:

The table, which er... okay so the tablecloth is actually dark red not this weird pink-purple thingie *blink* My digital camera is weird:

And a little extra. Decoration outside the house, ie on the entrance:

Babe, Babycakes - satisfied? *g*

re: randomity number 1: yeah, people were pretty happy about this - I don't fear the Post Paid Account trauma as much now *giggles*

re: NCIS: *bounces* oh, oh, oh, could you burn the episode for me? pretty please? Cause I'm going to see That Episode for the first time on Sunday night and it's already killing me (and might I say: people should learn about LJ cuts and spoilers, really *glares at one person in particular)

re: Christmas decoration: I love the little presents by the house door! thanks for posting them, honestly, it makes me so happy *giggles*

also, I've just read a whole page of goofs about King Arthur. I shouldn't do this to myself, really lol

Oh, that's interesting! Where is it? *bounces*

Nice decorations!
I'm still waiting for my dad to take care of the tree and we have no decoration for now! That's awful!

LOLOLOL! c'est super beau, Vous avez dû y passer un sacré moment...

Ooh, shiny! (Literally in some cases ;)

I don't know if we'll have a tree this year, so it's good to experience it vicariously ;-)

Like never before, my torrent was downloaded in only 3 hours and a half! And it was picked from TorrentSpy too ;-) (but I did check on mininova just to be sure it's the best one, so.)

I don't like NCIS, I really don't

Eep! You have no NCIS love?! *g* I liked watching the show before I started reading the slash. Of course, now I watch a little more carefully, lol, so I can document the looks they give each other. ;)

Yay! I now have six icon spaces. Oh, the riches. *trembles with icon lust*

Thanks for the info. I had no idea.

[identity profile] seiyaharris.livejournal.com 2005-12-17 03:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh! Those presents on the front doorstep are lovely!

I'm just putting up my tree now. I've taken a brief timeout to watch the Christmas hour special of a daytime soap Sam and I have become obsessed with. How very sad is this? lol

But you're tree & nativity and village and, well, everything! Are lovely *g*

I have much love for the light up presents at your door. Are they new? It's just I remember you village etc but not those. Because they're gorgeous!

it's there: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0349683/goofs
they're showing it again this morning (hail to cable) and dude, honestly? Clive Owen is bad *giggles*

[identity profile] moimoietmoi.livejournal.com 2005-12-17 08:31 pm (UTC)(link)
Clive Owen is bad *giggles*
Yeah, he's a bit stony. But I like Clive Owen! *pouts*

[identity profile] babycakesin.livejournal.com 2005-12-17 08:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I like him too, that's the problem! why do you think I keep watching the movie? It doesn't change the fact that it is not his best performance *giggles* in Closer, he was my favorite, though - I love him rugged and all *loves*

[identity profile] sockich.livejournal.com 2005-12-17 08:50 pm (UTC)(link)
Speaking of which, torrentspy has been letting us down lately, I've turned to mininova a lot in the past month.

Seriously, what's up with that? Torrentspy used to be the best, I hardly ever had to go anywhere else and now it's like, every second thing I need isn't there (or gets there way late). *grumble*

And your decorations are really pretty. The tree is very cool but I think the village is my favourite. It's just so cute! *pets it* And you have a fireplace, I love fireplaces. *g*

Yay on you at least dipping a toe into watching NCIS! (It's okay if you don't dive into the fandom, but they do hand every form of slash and OTPage to you on a platter in this show.)

Also, I've moved into the Numb3rs love. I'm not entirely sure what took me so long, but *GUH*.

[identity profile] moimoietmoi.livejournal.com 2005-12-17 10:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, rugged!Clive makes me eat my panties!

[identity profile] babycakesin.livejournal.com 2005-12-17 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
to.ta.lly. *drools*
seriously, he's the only reason I would watch Closer again. What is your favorite Clive Owen part btw? I love him in Gosford Park, I really do *bats lashes*

[identity profile] moimoietmoi.livejournal.com 2005-12-17 10:57 pm (UTC)(link)
And that's when I confess I've only ever seen him in King Arthur, Sin City and The Bourne Identity...
I've just bought Closer and I've never seen Gosford Park!

[identity profile] babycakesin.livejournal.com 2005-12-17 11:00 pm (UTC)(link)
rent gosford park, it was the first clive owen movie I've seen and it was brilliant (the whole movie, not only Clive Owen)

How was Sin City btw? I haven't seen it yet...

[identity profile] moimoietmoi.livejournal.com 2005-12-17 11:10 pm (UTC)(link)
I've wanted to watch Gosford Park for ages and it's on my 'DVDs to buy' list.

Sin City was great, very true to the atmosphere of the comics. It was quite violent but I enjoyed the movie and the images were beautiful.

[identity profile] babycakesin.livejournal.com 2005-12-17 11:11 pm (UTC)(link)
must see it then!

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-12-18 09:23 am (UTC)(link)
Do you mean 3x01? Sure thing *g*

You're quite welcome for the pictures. I love to show off my decorations, anyway lol

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-12-18 09:26 am (UTC)(link)
Pas tant que ça à vrai dire - tout est plutôt centré au même endroit en fait, ça va vite *g* Enfin la déco du dehors met un peu de temps, c'est clair lol J'ai pas pris la façade mais y a une guirlande électrique qui suit la gouttière... de gauche à droite je veux dire.

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-12-18 09:27 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks *g*

And hey, I'll "lend" you my decorations, no problem :-)

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-12-18 09:28 am (UTC)(link)
I have no NCIS love whatsoever - I just can't get into it because of my dislike of Gibbs. I love Abby and like Kate well enough, but my love for them isn't strong enough to overcome my dislike of the rest, I'm afraid *cough*

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-12-18 09:29 am (UTC)(link)
Hail to six icon slots :-) And you're welcome, it would have been so sad if you'd missed it...

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-12-18 09:30 am (UTC)(link)
They're cute, aren't they?

Ohh putting up the tree while watching the Christmas hour special - best xmas program ever :-)

Thanks *g*

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-12-18 09:30 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you Nicci. And you're quite welcome - it was my pleasure :-)

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-12-18 09:31 am (UTC)(link)
Dude you SO rock! Yes, the presents are brand new. Two days ago kinda new, even lol

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-12-18 09:32 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know what's up with our beloved torrentspy but it hasn't been up to par lately *sigh*

Hee you love the village as well? Man, it's my favourite, I love it! Thanks *g*

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-12-18 09:34 am (UTC)(link)
I won't dive into the fandom nor the show itself, I'm afraid - I just can't get into either of them - but I was compelled to download 3x01 anyway because talk about a shock and everything.

And YAY you're getting into Numb3rs? *high fives*

[identity profile] catiadoodle.livejournal.com 2005-12-18 12:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Nice decorations !! I especially like the tree, decorated with taste. I hate trees crumbling with garlands and balls.

You seem to have a really nice home ! *misses family life*

Okay, so let's say Babe wins the Hawaiian Christmas Award, and you win the Classical Christmas Award, okay? *g*

Your Christmas decorations are great! I must post a pic of our tree...

I have seen The NCIS Episode last night. I couldn't help being really relieved that it wasn't My Guy who got shot...

[identity profile] castalie.livejournal.com 2005-12-19 09:24 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you ma'am *bows* I don't like clogged tree either *g*

I do, thanks *g*

Thanks! And yes, I'd love to see yours :-)
