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*

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 :)

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
