Happy Belated Birthday Me ;D

[thelibraniniquity]

I finally bought the RAM upgrade for my laptop today, courtesy of my uncle in Texas.

And in about 23 and a half hours I'll know if I've got my third DS9 boxset. Luckily for me my granny is an awesome old lady who totally understands my sci fi obsession, and was nothing less than supportive when I told her about the buy-a-thon I started last week.

Finally, HOUSE BOXSET NEXT WEEK, YAY!!





...And in other birthday related news I really have to get cracking with the B-Day Bunneh for explodedpen. Once the Africa seminar tomorrow is out of the way, I will continue writing. I have a chapter plan and everything! The last time I was this organised with a fic it ended up over 66,000 words. Except I have about three weeks this time, not three months. But let's not go there just yet ;)

I totally envy you for the DS9 boxset!
Owning a complete set of all StarTrek shows is one of my biggest goals in life. So far, I have none. ;-)

Heehee. Well, so far I only have season 5 of DS9; s1 is somewhere in the post, and I lost out on s3 on eBay :(
But I'm working on it ;)
Other than that I'm trying to scab explodedpen's Enterprise DVDs off her (I have almost two seasons ripped to my HD so far) purely because I'm too stingy to fork out for them myself. DS9, on the other hand, is more than worth the cost (not least because the new boxset designs cost less, and technically my granny's paying ;). Oh, how I love that show ;D

Owning all the Trek series though, would be seriously cool. Let me know if you ever get it done ;)

hehe - good for you!
well I do have some tv versions of Enterprise and ogg(ogm) versions of almost all of NG and I have video casettes of german Voy. But to me all those don't really count, because I want the real stuff on DVD.

I have TV rips of Enterprise that t_eyla sent me sometime over the summer (along with Supernatural, which I still haven't watched, and some Atlantis TV rips).

OMG I have a whole collection of Voyager VHS tapes in the garage at home, not to mention the first series of Enterprise too... god, I spent so much money collecting those videos!

But yeah, nothing quite beats having the DVDs. Most of my family seem resigned to the fact they'll be getting me boxsets for Christmas *grins*

haha, yeah - all this money and time invested in buying and taping Voy...

LOL - my whole family is absolutely crazy about StarTrek, so no one looks at me strangely when I start squeeeing about it to them. Which is great. But still they don't see why I would want to buy the DVDs when we have "perfectly fine german tv-taped VHS already". DUH! I want them in English and in good quality, please... ;-)

Cool! See, I'm the only sci fi fan/Trekkie in my family, but by now they're all kinda used to me squeeing about reruns and boxsets, and Mum just thinks it's funny that she's getting both my brother and I the exact same Heroes boxset for Christmas ;D

hehe, as long as she doesn't want you to share one... ;-)

[thelibraniniquity]

Well, considering my brother's in the southwest of the country, and I'm up in the Midlands, that could get... complicated ;)

hehe, sometimes it can be useful to spread the family a little... ;-)
