I must pry myself off the couch and jump into the shower because, OMG I have an ENORMOUS amount of housework to do today. That's what you get for hardly being home over the course of two weeks. Things build up and suddenly there's guests arriving tomorrow and you haven't cleaned the bathroom in ages!

I also want to cycle over to Ikea to buy a storage container thingie for my shoes. These days I keep my shoes in the boxes they came in, but I wasn't always that anal about them and used to just throw the boxes away, hence the tangle of footwear at the bottom of my wardrobe. I saw these containers in Ikea when I was there a couple of weeks ago and thought they'd be a good way to sort out the mess. They come in a pack of two so I can have one for boots and sneakers, and the other for everything else.

Last night I watched three episodes of Buffy; The Wish (first glimpse of Anya) Amends (always makes me cry, especially the scene with Buffy and Angel just before it starts snowing) and Gingerbread (Oz and Xander as so cute when they buddy up). I started watching Helpless with David Fury's commentary, but lord he's boring. I don't know if it's his method of delivery or the fact that he's got nothing particularly interesting to say, but I found myself nodding off about twenty minutes into the episode so I went to bed. I'll finish it today sans commentary.

Now I'm wishing TPTB would re-issue Sports Night on DVD, complete with commentary tracks from Aaron and various cast members. And behind the scenes stuff as well. I'd love to see some of the takes from when Josh and Peter were laughing so hard it would take them an hour to shoot one thirty second scene. It'd be worth have two copies of the series just for that.

I actually wish I hadn't passed along my videos of SN, 'cos they had all the little advert breakers - the b/w publicity shots that you sometimes see (there was a webpage that used them down the side of the page, but I can't find it any more. Damn, I should've saved them!). The last tape also had the TV Guide award where they went up for 'Best Show You're Not Watching'. On the other hand, it had the first ten minutes of The Local Westher missing, so I suppose it's a fair trade-off.

A deluxe edition of the DVDs would be so wonderful. I'd buy it!

Also: ew, housework. I should. But I don't wanna!

... whereupon I promptly found the page with the pics I was talking about (here). And which I shall save!

I remember those. I love the one where Dana is looking like the boys just gave her a wedgie.

There are still others missing, but I think this is as good as I'll get. That's a really good site, btw, I was looking at it last night. Pity it appears to have been abandoned midway, but that's fandom. I should, I suppose, copy the text in case it vanishes altogether.

I got rid of all my tapes as well when I got the DVDs. And after watching them I realised just how much the TV station trims to fit in the ads :~\

I'd be so pre-ordering it from amazon it wouldn't be funny!

Deluxe SN with commentaries and outtakes and interviews, oh my! That would be so cool. Never going to happen, is it?

We have guests next weekend, though they're not staying here, that means it's CLEANING WEEK in our flat. At least the Beloved will have to handle the majority of it. Yay! for being the main breadwinner with a full-time job. /is evil.

I'd like to be little Miss Optimism here and say yes, of course it will! But alas, it's not likely. Too much time has passed, all the participants have moved on, there was certain amount of tension between Aaron and some of the actors over how it all fizzled out, and if ABC had wanted to make more out of the DVD release they would have given us the extras in the fist place.

Have I really brought you down?

At least the Beloved will have to handle the majority of it.

See, that's what I'm missing. A Beloved to do the cleaning while I do bread winning!
