Chocolate, but not Rose's

I usually dread the post because it's almost always just bills and bank statements, but this week it's been full of goodies. I've got HHGTTG CDs (an ep of the tertiary phase each night as a bedtime story) and DVDs (lots of good extras too, and yay for the CGI scene of the Liberator dropping Arthur Dent off on Earth, pursued by the Tardis).

And today I got a DVD of the first 5 eps of Doctor Who from the lovely and generous [livejournal.com profile] altariel1--along with a block of Green & Black ginger chocolate; thank you so much! [sigh] Why is Greg out at a meeting tonight of all nights? I don't care what time he gets in, we're watching the first ep. With chocolate.

[Edit]: We've watched 'Rose'; massive thumbs up to the new Doctor, Rose herself, and the humour. I love it! And the ginger chocolate was excellent too. :-D

I should hoard the echt Green & Blacks, now it's been taken over by Cadbury.... Dreadful news, I suspect, both for ethics and taste.

I'm dying to hear what you think of the new Dr Who!

Enjoy HHGTTG tertiary phase. We're just listening to quandary phase at the moment, very enjoyable

I just got that the CD of that today too, and I have the quintessential phase on pre-order. :-D

Sadly you can only keep chocolate so long.

Hurray, hurray, the DVD works and the chocolate was good! :-D

Hurrah! I'm glad that you liked Doctor Who so much. It's fabulous, isn't it? (And so is [livejournal.com profile] altariel1 - what a lovely idea.)

Yay and hurrah for good things in the post, and liking the new DW.

There's a lot of humor in the new Who series, I think, which pleases me very much. :)

G&B Ginger, New DW, *and* HHGTTG CDs? You are one lucky woman this week... Be careful not to overdose - on any of it! :)

The DVD works really well and the chocolate's yummy!

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2005-05-18 11:06 pm (UTC)(link)
I just got luckier: I have a three-months contract starting on Monday. Not that I'm likely to overdose on that.

I'm certainly looking forward to seeing more! I agree with you that it's a pity we only get one season of this doctor; I like him a lot already.

It's wonderful! Goodies will be going back to her very soon.

[identity profile] vilakins.livejournal.com 2005-05-18 11:13 pm (UTC)(link)
Can't wait to see more!

I'm considering buying the DVDs of Hustle too, going by what I've heard about it.

Well it is theoretically possible, so just remember to take your weekly preventative dose of large quantities of SF television.

Congratulations :)

Thanks! And I'll take my dose every night. :-)

I only caught bits of 'Hustle', I should definitely try and watch it properly next time it's on.
