Scenes from the Lounge (via the internet)

Did the weekly shop on the way back from work tonight, so I emailed thessalian beforehand and asked for a shopping list. She mentioned she needed coffee and the following email exchange happened:-

Me: What sorta coffee do you like, again?
Thess: Oh, I'm not too fussed. Alta Rica's nice but store brand is fine. So long as it's decaf, it's all good.
Me: OK, no prob...WAIT WHAT?!? DECAF?! SINCE WHEN?!?! Who are you and where's the real Thesski?!
Thess: *facepalms* NOT! "So long as it's NOT decaf"!!! I meant to say! *headdesks*
Me: Good grief, are you trying to cause an international incident? I was about to the put the armed forces on standby :P

TV Meme - Day 28

Day 28 - First TV show obsession

Hrm. Well I got seriously into Starsky and Hutch as a kid - bought the annuals, all the novels, pestered my nan into knitting me a starsky cardigan, that kinda thing. No internet then of course, so this was all done pretty much in isolation.

First show I got obsessed on and shared it with fellow fans was Xena. Also the last obsession I've shared with crazy fans. :P No, no, to be fair, I met some nice people but dear gods, there were a lot of nutballs. Also the only show to date I've gone to a convention for (8 in fact, 4 StarFury conventions in London, 3 smaller fan run conventions in London and Manchester, and 1 Creation convention in Pasadena.) Hasn't put me off conventions, I've just never had the time or money since to really do them since the last one in, umm, 2001.

Prized possessions as a result of this obsession, two props from the show. Draco's dagger and an authentic Spanish style sword. *cuddles them both* Oh! And a comic book signed by Renee O'Connor :) (Note to self: you need to find the safe place you put that...)
