Let's shake some dust!

[castalie]

Well well... who would have thought that my university had such a beautiful computer lab - several of them, even? Am so in love with it *cling* Okay so huh - Clark is dead. As in dead. Apparently the cure demanded that they killed my baby so, well, they did. At this point, I didn't want to know more about the situation, so yeah *sigh*

Also, started to officially miss my LJ you guys today so I hunted aforementioned computer lab --this uni is quite huge, I never realised *blink*-- but it was worth it because look at me! Updating and everything *waves*

In order to prove to you that it is me updating and not someone who would have hacked my account, I'll write a quick fannish post starting with : I found a new show to worship and follow religiously.

So. I found a new show to worship and follow religiously *beams*

And I know it should make both aswanargent and crazybutsound real happy cause as of this weekend/today, I'm officially a Carnivàle fan, yes ma'am!

When I was told that I should give the series another try and not let the pilot scare me away? You were all so right, wow! I actually watched 10 episodes so far, I think I only have two left, is that it? OMG I need the second season, like, NOW!

So yeah, crazybutsound, if you read this? Your Carnivàle S1 pressie was a streak of genius and I'm crazy about it *g*

Can't really write more cause did I mention I was at the uni? And I just don't feel comfortable enough prowling LJ when I'm not at home --though if Clark stays dead for too long, I might change my view on this-- but suffice to say that it's awesome and one of the most intriguing show I've ever seen, yeah even more than Lost, I mean... it's just so totally different, like another league or something and it's just WOW material *g*

ETA: Ooh apparently I lied to myself. Or I recovered from the shyness in record time. Methinks I'll prowl the flist after all - cause I miss commenting here and there *nodnod*

Ohh, I'm gonna start watching Carnivale soon too, as soon as I can darg myself away from Lorne and Angel. :))))

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Hey we went in an Angel frenzy practically at the same time, it would be quite cool if you followed me in Carnivàle as well *g*

[frayen.livejournal.com]

I love Carnivàle sooooooo much, I really need the second season like right now!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

We apparently have real good taste *high fives*

[ninkasa.livejournal.com]

Heh. I've been in the computer lab since 1:00 surfing LJ. (class is cancelled, should be writing fic)

So, does this mean you can't watch Lost?

[castalie.livejournal.com]

The computer labs around here are soon becoming my new home away from home lol

And except for a miracle, I don't think I'll be able to watch Lost on Thursday, nor could I was Numb3rs either *sob*

Oh well, it's one of those ordeals one net junkie has to go through now and then, I guess lol It's not as if it was the first time either *sigh* Clark died once, for a whole month and a half, I just hope he'll come back to life sooner this time *crosses fingers*

[whitevanilla.livejournal.com]

*hugs* Welcome back!

In case you missed my big news, I'll be in France sooner than I had originally anticipated. I'll be studying in Nancy this next school year! So we'll have to make a date sometime and hang out. :)

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I can't say I'm back back but yeah, being able to update is quite an accomplishment this week *g*

And I totally missed that, sorry. Congratulations! And Nancy, huh? Well, it's so not in the vicinity of Choisy, but hopefully we'll find a way. I mean, you'll have to come at least once in Paris for a weekend or something, right? *g*

[whitevanilla.livejournal.com]

It can't be more than 2 hours by the way it looks on the map. And from being from Northern Wisconsin, where I have to travel hours to get anywhere, I'm sure a trip to Paris won't be a problem. Remember, the university I go to is 4 hours away from my hometown. Traveling isn't a problem. ;) You Europeans...*shakes head* :P *hugs*

[enigel]

Aw, does this mean that everything on Clark is lost? Sorry :(

I miss you too!

And don't tell me you're going to irresistibly pimp yet another show... *sighs*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

That's exactly what it means. I'm not the happiest of campers as you can imagine *sigh*

It's so good to be missed!! Btw? I have your BD - I need your snail mail now, so if you could mail it to me? Hopefully I'll find the time to use the computer lab again on Friday again --won't have time eithe tomorrow or Thursday-- and I'll be able to send the BD to you *g* Unless you read this within the hour and give it to me by then, mind you *g* I have a class at 4.00 pm so I'm hanging around here til 3.45 *g*

Okay, I won't tell you lol Actually, you're saved from the Immediate Pimping considering my situation - aren't you glad *eg* And I expect to be pimped by you as well, remember?

*kisses*

[enigel]

Sent! *g* I'm at work, I check my email every 5 minutes :D

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I'll check it out immediately and will send the parcel tomorrow *g*

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I've heard it a few times now that Clark is dead but each time it hurts as much as the last!

Poor Clark! Poor you!

*Sends love over the ocean*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

It's not the first time my beloved Clark dies on me - but this time it almost felt like they killed him on purpose and it was so hard *sob*

But my Clark is nothing if not resourceful and he'll come back to me. One day lol

*feels the love*

[yami-tai.livejournal.com]

Well, I'm glad you are back, albeit briefly ;_;! I'm intrigued by Carnivàle... what's it about?

[castalie.livejournal.com]

As I was saying to someone above, the computer labs are soon becoming my home away from home lol

And Carnivàle is a very particular and sometime disturbing series where you follow the travels of a roving carnival during the 1930's Dust Bowl. This group of odd characters pick up a mysterious young man who becomes the focus in a battle between good and evil. There're secrets and secrets within secrets and people with powerful and sometimes scary abilities... it's quite a ride, that show is *g*

The characters are all fascinating and the story is just... intriguing like a show seldom is.

[crazybutsound]

Yay! I knew it! *is proud enabler* That is so cool! You know you're actually further than I am? I'm only on episode 5, and since aswanargent sent me the actual DVDs, I'm going to start over again before watching the rest. :-D But isn't it fantastic? It's very slow which is why I thought it needed time, but once you're into it... it's such a brilliant, brilliant show. :-) So glad you're enjoying it, yay!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

You're kidding me, I'm actually further than you are? lol This is so typical! And yeah, I'm so hooked it's not funny, thank you so much again *hugs*

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

what's Carnivale?

and cheers to computer labs!

[maaaaa.livejournal.com]

Hope you don't mind me butting in...

http://www.hbo.com/carnivale/about/index.shtml

I've never seen it, as I don't get HBO either, but if the Mouse is obsessed by it, it's best to familiarize oneself with it. *g*

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

lol - yeah, I think it might be wise to get to know the show *giggles*

*waves* hi, nice to meet you btw *g*

[maaaaa.livejournal.com]

One can't read the Mouse's lj without hearing all about her wonderful babycakes; nice to meet you too. *g*

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

*beams* I should definitely
a) spend more time in here, since people seem to know me quite well
b) prevent people from finding out what a spinner I can be sometimes *giggles*

[maaaaa.livejournal.com]

a) ...and would only like to get to know you better
b) ...I'm a spinner too. but I suspect by the giggle that we're not referring to the same thing. ??

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

a) *le grin*

b) 'spinner' is a new word I learned down here, and it means 'flaky' - Phoebe, in Friends, is a spinner for example (at least that's how my flatmates put it lol)

[maaaaa.livejournal.com]

Okay...I 'spin' stories...as in fanfic & Jim-spanks-Blair-for-Mouse...*g*...and I also spin wool, on a spinning wheel. But I think some people would agree that I meet this definition too. By 'down here' where do you mean exactly? My daughter lived in Australia for about 6 months a few years ago, but I never heard her use spinner to describe anyone.

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

okay, I understand now *giggles*

I'm in New Zealand at the moment - and learning their slang is so funny! I've been here since January 10th ^^

[maaaaa.livejournal.com]

...you're still giggling. *g*

My daughter also had great fun learning the down under slang. Are you going to school there? Stay safe and have fun!

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

unfortunately, I giggle way too much - and mostly for no reason at all lol

I'm down here to work - I teach French as a foreign language, I have a few classes here and there, mostly at the university of Wellington. I adore it here! Honestly, it's fantastic! People are so nice, and the city itself is beautiful, and the surroundings... *clears throat* yeah, see, don't get me started on how much I love New Zealand lol So far I have a visa for a year, but I'm really hoping I'll be able to extend it and stay a few years! :D

Where in Australia was your daughter?

[maaaaa.livejournal.com]

Naw...don't be silly. How can anyone giggle too much?

How exciting for you! Good luck with the visa extension. I hope it works out for you.

My daughter lived & went to school for a semester in Sydney & did alot of traveling while in Australia...Brisbane, Ayers Rock, the Great Barrier Reef, etc. She spent 3 weeks in NZ before coming back to the States and she loved it...said it was absolutely gorgeous. She wants to go back someday when she can spend more time.

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

well, tell her to drop by if she fancies coming to Wellington! I can't wait to start travelling around the country... :D

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Nice to see someone helped Babycakes *g*

And I guess you're right, better familiarise yourself at least a little bit with the thing lol

[maaaaa.livejournal.com]

My pleasure, Master. *g* LOL

And I'm about as familiar as I'm probably gonna get with your new obsession. But I see your flist has plenty-o-Carnivale fans to fuel your obsessiveness.

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

yes love, people on your flist are so helpful! It's great to come here and ask questions, there are always tons of people volunteering to help!

anyway: I just received a mail from a friend in Texas: 'we missed the Oscars because we were so focused on not missing Carnivale - have you heard about it?'

humpff... so now I'm downloading an episode *giggles*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Do I have the best timing or what? lol

If you did download and watch an episode --and better start with the pilot or else you'll miss a hundred of things-- do tell me what you thought of it, I'm curious *g*

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

I'm 92% *g*

[castalie.livejournal.com]

Carnivàle : Carnivàle follows the travels of a roving carnival during the 1930's Dust Bowl. This group of odd characters pick up a mysterious young man who becomes the focus in a battle between good and evil.


It's intriguing and quite powerful as series go... it's not for everyone, like my mom and sis? Were disturbed by the tone of the story and couldn't watch it. It's quite peculiar, as they say, but I'm hooked *g*

[babycakesin.livejournal.com]

mmmm... might download a couple of episodes then!

Carnivàle

[aswanargent.livejournal.com]

Hah! I knew you'd like it once you gave it a chance! *VERY BIG SMILE*

Just so you know, I'm in the same waiting-for-Season-2 boat as you are. Season 2 is being shown on HBO right now (my sister is watching it), but I won't get to see it until the season ends and the DVDs are released. If you end up being able to download episodes of Season 2 and watch it that way, I don't even want to know about it. ;-)

*now observing a moment of silence for Clark*

Does Clark's death mean you won't be able to watch Lost?

Re: Carnivàle

[castalie.livejournal.com]

You were right, you were SO right *g*

At this point, I don't even know when I'll have Clark back so there's no way I could find a way to d/l the episodes, don't worry lol And anyway, I always use cut tags when I'm talking about a series *g*

That's exactly what it means *sigh*

Re: Carnivàle

[aswanargent.livejournal.com]

Hey, you'll be sure and tell me if/when you get a DVD player that can read Region 1 discs, right? And no, you don't need to know why I want to know. ;-)

Sorry to hear about Clark...

[maaaaa.livejournal.com]

*sniff*

Clark is dead. As in dead....though if Clark stays dead for too long

So he might get better, right? So, I couldn't resist...

Re: Sorry to hear about Clark...

[castalie.livejournal.com]

My Clark always comes back to life. He stayed dead for a whole month and a half the came back to me. Which is why his middle-name is actually Lazarus *is proud of her Clark

And thanks, that was hilarious lol

[moimoietmoi.livejournal.com]

Poor Clark! Poor you!
I hope he comes back from the dead soon!

[castalie.livejournal.com]

I may have a new Clark by the end of the week, or by next week at the latest *crosses fingers*
