zomg sale!!

[stargater]

Amazon.com is having some kind of super awesome DVD sale-o-rama for what their calling "science fiction month" that's nearly irresistible. What brought me to it of course was the mention of all the Star Trek series included in this sale for $35.49! Thirty-five freaking forty-nine a season! For any Trek series! ZOMG! This is fantastic!

They also have some series (SG-1, SGA, Bones and others) as buy one set, get one free and they are marked down to around 25-ish% off.

Also a Movie & TV store blowout with tons of movies and TV shows on sale.

And apparently they have a "sci-fi destination" for all things sci-fi called Cosmotopia which I've never noticed before tonight. Seriously, how did I not know about this before now? I must not be getting all my memos.

Must. Have. Them. All. Really though, this is too good a sale to pass up completely. I'm eagerly looking at the TNG sets because that's the Trek series I'm focusing on collecting now.

*we wants them allllll precious, yesss them allllll*

Heh - it may indeed just be both of us pouting lol!! So far though - you have the upper hand. You still own loads of vhs! :P

heehe it's a good movie that's why
It really is!

I still love listening to 80's music too because the 80's rocked
heee. Totally. I also enjoy the 70's and some 90's too. But mid-to-late 90's onwards things seemed to start going downhill fast. I'm not sure why - all the production 'bands/artists' most likely. Just...gah. And don't even get me started on dance/trance 'music'. :x /mini rant.

re: Leona (from Wiki) "Leona Louise Lewis is a British pop singer and winner of the third series of The X Factor UK television talent show. Her UK debut single, "A Moment like This", was released in December 2006, breaking a world record after it was downloaded over 50,000 times within 30 minutes.[2]

Her second single, "Bleeding Love," was the biggest-selling single of 2007 in the United Kingdom, topped several other national singles charts and became a number one single on the first week in France on March 22 and number one in the US on April 5, 2008.[3][4]

Her debut album, Spirit, was released in Europe in November 2007, and became the fastest-selling debut album ever in both the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland.[5][6] Released in North America in April 2008, Spirit debuted at number one in the US Billboard 200 chart and made Lewis the first British artist to debut atop of the chart with a debut album.[7][8][9]

With her album reaching number one in at least three continents and nine countries, Lewis has had the most successful launch of any television talent show winner ever.[10]"
(I'm not a fan btw. I still haven't even heard one of her songs LOL! :x Ionly know of her b/c of Brian)

No hatin' of Nickleback from me, I like 'em
Yay for more in common lol! I actually didn't know much about them - but then Sasha dragged Brian and me to Bon Jovi a couple of years back and they opened for them. I was an instant fan :D

[stargater.livejournal.com]

Oh yes, I do enjoy some 70's song and like you say some early 90's songs but music did change quite a bit mid-90's, of course there are still the staggered songs that I like but I've never really been one to go gah gah over any specific band or anything.

And thanks for the info! :D I'm still interested (mostly because generally things I don't know about interest me :P) and will probably try and find a song or two by her.

oooh yah Bon Jovi too :D Sadly, I've never been to a real concert, not like that at least. Because I don't count when someone comes here and 'performs' it's certainly not like a 'real' concert would be :P

[faithnsin.livejournal.com]

I've never really been one to go gah gah over any specific band or anything.
Really? Not ever? Not even as a teenager?? O.o Wow. I think you're the first person I've ever met who didn't obsess (in a good way) over a band or artist of some sort. So whose posters did you have on your wall at home then?

Heh. Ditto. If I fall over something I don't know, I tend to read up on it.

I actually don't like Bon Jovi that much :x S is the mega fan. Brian and I went b/c Sasha begged asked us and the Bounce CD was really good - so we thought 'why not'. So when they came again and S asked if we'd like to go we said sure. But if it weren't for her we wouldn't have gone :P BUT! I would've missed Nickelback if we hadn't gone so...it's all good ;D

So, is Branson too small for a 'real' concert then?

[stargater.livejournal.com]

Well alright now that I'm thinking about that, I guess I'll have to take that back a bit. I did have a slight infatuation with New Kids on the Block (I must have been 9-10ish I think) and I do remember one time where I sat next to the radio an entire day with my finger on the record button of a blank tape just so I could record their new song so I could replay it. lol. I totally forgot about them but my so-called infatuation didn't really last all that long. :P Though I obviously can't say the same about being obsessive/infatuated with fandoms of course ;P

Oh, I like Bon Jovi, both his old and new stuff and he still looks so good even today! :D

Not too small no, but it's kind of bills itself on 'clean family focused' entertainment which is mostly country music and live entertainment. We do occasionally have more alternative/rock people who come but the shows are kept a pretty tight rein on, not like something you'd find in say St. Louis or Kansas City.

[faithnsin.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh. I <33 Donnie (and Mark) Wahlberg!! I by no means was ga ga over NKOTB, but I did think Donnie was wicked cute ;D They're back together, as you may know - I think they've released (or are releasing) a new single/cd and are definitely touring the US.

I liked BJ's earlier stuff and I thought Bounce was wicked - and you're right - i guess he himself looks fairly good still. He's certainly fit, I'll give him that! If I did a hundredth of what he does on stage, I'd be dead from exhaustion. He must just live at the gym ;p

You guys must get pretty cool country artists then :D If you've seen Dolly Parton I'll be green with envy! She does tour this neck of the woods but honestly, her tickets are gone in minutes. Everyone adores her and we've missed her twice thanks to the tix disappearing in the blink of an eye -.- Boo.

[stargater.livejournal.com]

I was a Jordan Knight fan myself :P And yes I do remember reading about them getting back together and releasing a new cd. I'm kind of curious as to their style/sound now after all these years, like rather they'll be much the same or adopt something a little newer/different.

Actually we do get several big name country artists a year which is great if you're a country fan I guess ;P Does Dolly Parton's Dixie Stampede (http://www.dixiestampede.com/branson.php) count? :P She doesn't actually perform in it or anything but it's a pretty good show, one of the better and more entertaining ones. I remember once back when I was in school some friends and I spotted her bus/caravan in town and chased it all the way downtown to Steak & Shake. We chatted with the band and they gave us autographs but we didn't actually get to see her because they said she wasn't feeling well or something. They were pretty nice though and it was fun :P Aww, it's too bad you've missed her, so she's really that popular there? That's pretty cool, she is quite a talented person. Maybe you'll catch her next time :)

[faithnsin.livejournal.com]

Jordan was kinda cute - but he tended to be a bit too smooth if you know what I mean? Donnie was the only New Kid I kinda really liked *pets him*

I'm curious to see what their new stuff will sound like too.

Oh, that sounds soo cool, the Dixie Stampede! Have you been?

It's so nice the band gave u guys autographs and stuff too. That was sweet of them. Aww she wasn't feeling well :/ Boo. Yes, Dolly (and country in general) is very popular. This surprised us when we first came back (Garth Brooks was huge then) and we were O.o But then there was this show on TV a while back that was tracing all sorts of music and, apparently, country has it's roots in Irish music, or something like that - so I thought maybe that explained it. There's certainly the fiddle/violin guitar & piano elements that are quite similar and I actually recall Dolly saying that on an interview here too, now that I think about it. Honestly though - i don't think you need to be a fan of country per se to love Dolly. Her music is soooooo catchy and she's so sweet and so much fun :D I am crazy about her new song "Better Get To Livin" Have you heard it or seen it? /rave

Yeah, I hope so too lol!

[stargater.livejournal.com]

lol yeah he was I suppose. I thought they were all alright except for the youngest (I can't even remember his name, Joey maybe?) this makes me lol, I haven't thought of NKOB in forever :P

I have been several times and it's really a good show (it's a dinner show so you get food too) I'd say one of the better ones we have here.

Yeah those guys were pretty nice and I'm sure Dolly is a sweet person, she always appears to be in things. She was on American Idol this year as a guest and they all had to sing Dolly songs, she was pretty funny. Don't think I've heard her new song though, at least the title doesn't sound familiar. I'll have to look that one up to and check it out :D

[faithnsin.livejournal.com]

Wow. I'm sitting here wondering what it says about me, if I, who is NOT a fan of NKOTB know all their names lol! And yes, the youngest was Joey. Lets see, Jordan, Jonathan, Joey Danny and (best for last) Donnie *again pets Donnie* I guess I'm just one of these ppl that commit names to memory :P /show off

Ohhh. Dinner and a show sounds good :D Do you have many show/dinner type places?? I can't even think of one around here :/ Gah.

I concur - I think Dolly is a total sweetheart. And - she's a great laugh too. Here's her song on YouTube. I love it BUT - I have some issues with the advice.



Often, life isn't that simple. It's not easy to pick yourself up and 'get to livin'. Especially if you're clinically depressed or something. Or had your dreams crushed to oblivion. But, that said, I do know it's just a song at the same time :P

*goes to bed singing Dolly*

[stargater.livejournal.com]

lol! Oh yeah and Jonathan, I completely forgot about him. And to think I once called myself a fan :P *hides*

Yes there are several show/dinner attractions, some are pretty good others not so much. Including all the smaller shows, there are probably over 100 live entertainment shows ranging from large attractions like Dixie Stampede to smaller acts that only perform at certain times of the year.

I liked that song it was nice and the video was entertaining as well. I agree with you that advice can't be taken literally by everyone but I can see it pertaining to some folks with all the potential but instead just sit around whining and complaining all day. I dunno. But it is a good song though :)

[faithnsin.livejournal.com]

And to think I once called myself a fan
tsk tsk tsk. What would the 10 year old you think of you now? Poor Jonathan and Danny tho. I always found them incredibly bland x_x I'm not surprised you forgot him :x

100 live shows? Y'know, come to think of it - I don't think I've ever seen a live show with dinner :/ Now I feel like I'm missing out on something lol!

I can see it pertaining to some folks with all the potential but instead just sit around whining and complaining all day.
Oh yes, I see that angle too. I just over analyzed the song I guess :P I do that sometimes ;p I'm glad you like it :)

[stargater.livejournal.com]

lol well I'd say my other obsessions made up for my lack of being a proper NKOB fan :P

Really, never seen a live dinner show? I guess I don't think about them not being in other places as much because we have so many here. Doh :( Well maybe one day you'll be able to catch one and it'll be good :D Maybe it'll even be a Dolly one where she's performing :D

[faithnsin.livejournal.com]

No, I don't recall seeing a live dinner show. I'm sure they probably exist here and in Aus - but I just don't recall seeing any. And yes, that'd be sweet if I saw a Dolly one LOL! Although I suspect she'd be way too entertaining to worry about eating lol! idk.

[stargater.livejournal.com]

LOL! *imagines an arena left with full dinner plates because Dolly performed and no one dared touch the food for fear of missing something* :P The Dixie show goes overboard with the food I think, you get like 3 courses and the main dish an entire Cornish game hen and not usually a scrawny one either lol :P

[faithnsin.livejournal.com]

Heh. Once again, I imagined the *exact* same thing :D

Ok, you don't mean 3 courses PLUS a entire Cornish game hen, do you? O.o *would explode*

[stargater.livejournal.com]

LOL!

No, it'd be 2 courses plus the chicken. It starts with an appetizer sort of thing, then you get the main meal (chicken and potatoes and veggies) then a dessert thingy. It is quite a bit of food but it's dinner and a show all wrapped up in one I guess lol :P

[faithnsin.livejournal.com]

Ah, okay. I was thinking 3 courses PLUS the chicken. That'd be just sooo beyond filling lol!

[stargater.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah, that'd be way too much! lol
