Traveler,
The Women and Three Loves Has Nancy are showing next week. I've set my TIVO to pick them up. I also set it up to record the movies on which she was credited. I figured those would be larger parts: Heroes of the Hills, Test Pilot, The Girl of the Golden West, Double Wedding, and Rose Bowl. I do have a DVD recorder to burn DVDs, but it does act a little weird occasionally. Do you have an old VHS tape player?

Hello Magdalena:
Always a pleasure to see your posts. The rich and famous do not escape the fates that wait for anyone who is mortal. I hope those who live in the constant state coma can dream. I guess it depends on the damage the brain has received.
And you explore cemeteries as well.
Are we a morbid bunch?
But cemetaries do reveal a lot about our past.
I think we need a ramble thread contest. But I am still posting in the original "Who is the last to post Thread", so I feel pretty commited already.

I am in awe of those still battling it out in the "last one to post thread" - my computer is not fast enough to have a go - even here by the time I post something there are one or two others before it pops up for me! *sigh* 
Hello VX
- you're so good to us here - I'm sure you and Traveller just overlaped posts... or maybe I'm just his favourite and no amount of good favours will win him from me?
... BTW is 'The Women' the one with Jean Simmons?... or Kate Hepburn? I think I remember that one, but I might be getting confuzzled... is it about a women's boarding house near Broadway or about a ranch style place somewhere... yeah - definitely confuzzlement at this end...
No - seriously I love you guys! There is so much genuine connection on this site - I was trying to explain it to friends who have never found this kind of connection on the 'net before and they were a bit sceptical I must say! You all prove them wrong any day!

Oh yes I have VHS. I have so many movies in that format it will take me years to replace them with DVD's. And of course I still have to keep up with the new movies. So I will probably have a VHS for soom time. This is really nice of you. Thank you.

Like minds!
The older the cemetary the better. We might have to go for a cemetary walk after dancing around the pyre on a Forsaken thread._______________________________

At last, caught up I have. And after what was a busy week, I have a relatively light homework load. I took the oportunity to write the first of my college application essays to come, a piece i'm rather proud of called "Un Inmigrante en los Estados Unidos", which is all about me feeling its unfair that British isnt considered an immigrant nationality. For the first two paragraphs i'm trying to pretend i'm a spanish immigrant (i said my sister was born "on the continent", which she was, just in germany, not spain). From there on, i get factual, then just plain old silly, and my last paragraph is a challenge to America, that "we brits" must take up armour and weapouns (yes I know weapons doesnt add the -u) to defend our honour. Really tacky british stereotypes, but ultimately, I like the thing. It's bordering on politically incorrect in the begining, and funny at the end. It is what one calls... 'edgy'.
Guilty pleasure movies... hmmm, back when I had time for things, I would watch a full two hour movie every week that i'd seen before. Fellowship of the ring, robin hood prince of theives, sorta the big epic ones. Then I stopped doing that, now I barely have time to watch my netflix, and i just dont feel like watching much else. O, wait, no, my guilty pleasure is Stargate. Because my mother likes it, we have 6/9 of the SG 1 seasons... ironically 1-3 and 6-8. Oh well. It's not too bad, but it's no firefly.

I know what your saying Magdalena. I sometimes feel Firefly was created just to bring us together. Just like the show, I feel like I'm part of a family. I'm waiting for Mal to tell I'm part of the crew. I have not been to any other forum to know if we are different, but where will you find a thread like imponderables. Seems pretty special to me. And you all make it special for me.

Traveler,
I'll send you an e-mail when I get them recorded.
Magda,
You are so right this site is soooo friendly. Non Browncoats just don't understand.
Are you really going to have Traveler chose?

Good for you Whitefall & it's terrific to see you here - I love the idea of your essay! Whereabouts in Britain are you from - see previous posts for my heritage... though I ws born in Australia - I hold dual citizenship and have lived in UK before!
VX!! 
one day I will visit the US & we'll do a real cemetery walk together! But in the mean time it would be fun to have a ramble in teh forsaken thread!!
never know who.. or what.. we might turn up!

Whitefall,
Wow! "Un Inmigrante en los Estados Unidos" sounds very witty.
I love Stargate. I think seasons 6 through 8 are the best, but you should pick up seasons 4 and 5 sometime. Season 4 has one of my all time favorite episodes, Window of Opportunity. Plus it has others that are top on my list: Upgrades, 2010, Absolute Power, The Light, and Entity. Season 5 has my second favorite episode Wormhole X-Treme!. You really need to see Ascension, also. It's always great when Carter gets a love interest even if it is an alien.
