Is it time for new The Fades yet? No? Well it should! Tomorrow can't come soon enough. I'm hoping, since this is a British show, that we won't have to wait the usual +1 day for the download to come up. With some luck we'll be able to get it on the same night it airs #FingersCrossed

Something else I'd been waiting for was the release of the French XMFC DVD, which was today \o/ I maybe sent a text message to french_hobbit in the morning wishing her a good XMFC DVD Day. Because some things are worth being celebrated, right? lol Cookie and I rushed to a FNAC near us after work and had a mini squee fest in front of the shelves where all those DVDs of awesomeness were displayed and then got our own copy ♥

Changing the subject. So Uni enrollment is on its way (I'll spare you the details but believe me, it's been epic. And completely ridiculous) and I've started having a look at what's in store for me and I think I'm going to have fun. For instance, in the long list of reading I'm supposed to do this semester for Seminar #1, there are little gems like Incest and Literary Imagination and Sexual Freedom in Restoration Literature and Sexuality and Gender in Early Modern Europe and many other interesting-sounding works. How glad am I that my thesis supervisor teaches a class about Libertines? Very glad :-)

There's also The Sign of Angelica; Women, Writing and Fiction, which I keep misreading as "Women, Writing and Fanfiction". For some reason :-p As I said, should be fun!

Oh, someone on my TL linked to this video of a dude connecting to Wikipedia using a *1964* antique modem and it was quite impressive to see, so I'm sharing. I know the geeks around here should appreciate it :-)

J'ai vu les DVDs dans la vitrine de la Fnac à la gare, et j'ai eu une pensée émue pour vous :)

Are you a member of uk_telly? Generally they have downloads for many British shows available the same day. Okay, for me, that works because of the time difference. Maybe for you it would be later in the evening. Anyway! Tis a possibility. :)

I'm almost finished downloading all of The Fades. I was telling Lisa last night how you recommended it and she said "what doesn't Alex watch?" lol So true. I do take your rec's to heart. *nods*

Ooo those readings sound really interesting! It makes me miss school...just a bit. :P

I don't think I am. I get my fix over at One DLL (http://www.oneddl.com/) and I usually find the downloads for Brit shows on the same evening they air. Case in point with both The Fades and Merlin. It's a good site.

Lol I do watch a lot of shows; I can't disagree with her. And I'd say The Fades is a very good show that you should try, yes.

And the readings for Seminar #2 have to do with the devil and sorcery and religion, pretty awesome as well \o/
