I learned something today that brought my dreams of a leisurely summer spent catching up on my various stories to a screeching halt.
Ninjavideo and Surfthechannel are dead. WHAT!?
But I was in the middle of the third season of House! And what about the whole final season of Battlestar Galactica that I have yet to start on? I don't want to own it, I just want to watch it! But surely this is only temporary, right? Right?... RIGHT?!
All this might have been taken with equanimity, but for the fact that Nonsense and I are now down to our last episode of Lost: Season 5, and the final season doesn't come out on DVD until the end of August. Boondocks: Season 3? Doesn't even finish airing in the U.S. until midsummer. And just so you know, I would totally do the right thing! But I'm a fan of owning whole collections, rather than just a season here or there. I can't afford to buy all my shows on DVD -- especially not if I want to be able to spend all summer watching them instead of getting a job. What am I going to do? How am I going to entertain myself for the next two months?
Ah well, so far I've been having fun, and the prospect for the next half-week, at least, is looking good.
Today, G, K, Nonsense and I went to the park for Ribfest and general Canada Day festivities. I almost tried a deep-fried Mars Bar, but that'll have to wait for next year, since in the end I couldn't resist getting an elephant ear with strawberries and ice cream instead. Jealous? I thought so.
Tomorrow I'm going to see a fringe show, and the next day will be happily spent eating more tasty barbeque in honour of the happy day of Geek's birth. After that, the rest of the weekend will most likely be spent on Pride frivolities of one kind or another. I know, it sounds busy, but really, I can rest when I'm dead. Or on Monday. Whichever comes first.
