holiday wish list :)

[floatingleaf]

I've been seeing this all over LJ, so I decided to post my own as well.:) Not that I'm actually expecting anything to happen... just some wishful thinking. After all, that's what it's all about.;)



- a nice Viggo-themed LJ layout (I am totally, blissfully clueless in matters of graphics/html etc., so I cannot do this myself)

- any of Viggo's CD's, or any of his books except Coincidence of Memory (I cannot order from Perceval Press - I don't have a f***ing credit card!!!)

- any old, hard-to-get film by Pedro Almodovar (preferably on DVD, but I'd take a VHS if someone were willing to give it to me for free... LOL)

- the soundtrack to the movie called His Secret Life (original title Le Fate Ignoranti) by Ferzan Ozpetek - now this is ultimate wishful thinking, since I have no idea whether the soundtrack to this particular movie has ever been released... (all I know it's not available on Amazon, though the movie itself is)

- the movie When Night Is Falling (probably the only critically acclaimed lesbian film I haven't seen yet... LOL)

- a trip to somewhere exotic - preferably with no hurricanes involved ;P

- a meeting with an LJ friend - especially romi, niennas_dreams, miladyhawke, ancabell, cynical_terror, matan4il or crimsonsenya (I am not including akashaelfwitch or namarie120, since in their cases it's no longer wishful thinking :D)

Actually, the last two wishes could be combined.:) It would be most delicious if they were.:D

And by the way - in case anyone actually has the goodwill AND the possibility to fulfill any of those... you don't have to send me stuff for free. I am perfectly willing to send a check. That's why I didn't include anything that it is totally within my own means to get. Because if it were, I would most likely have it already.:D



In other news, I have just bought myself an e-book on Viggo! Yep. I had no idea something like that existed, until I stumbled upon it (don't quite remember how it happened, btw). And the website said today was the last chance to get it for $25, since after midnight (not sure which time zone, though...lol) it's gonna be $39. AND they accepted PayPal with no credit card attached to it! So I clicked the button, and now I have it.:) Well over 150 pages about Viggo, written by a fan. Oh well. Call me stupid.;) I wonder if she'll actually tell me anything I don't already know. If not, I'll have only myself to blame, I guess. *shrugs* 25 bucks is not a fortune, after all...

EDIT: Yes, I do believe I am quite stupid. Somehow I never noticed that the same author has also produced an e-book on Orlando Bloom... not to mention Russell Crowe and Pierce Brosnan. Looks like someone is simply trying to make money an easy way... taking advantage of naive, gullible dolts like me. Especially that having read the first chapter, I can't help feeling I could have written this better.:) Heh. Maybe that's what I should do. Set up a website and produce e-books by compiling articles written by others, then have people pay me for it. Unfortunately, I'm not that cheeky... *sigh*

OMG Milady you are amazing!!! I never thought someone would actually come up with any help towards fulfilling this particular wish, and I am quite obsessed about this movie at the moment - so you should have heard my SQUEEEEE when I saw this.:D I'm not sure if it's possible to download the CD from the website, but they give a link to another website where I can order it! And they accept personal checks!!! It will be well over 30 bucks with shipping and stuff, but I don't care! After all, what should I be spending my money on, if not what I really want? I am happy now!!!!! :D :D :D *does a little jungle dance*

As for the other link, my computer tells me that Windows Media Player cannot play this file.:( But never mind - you helped me find the real thing, and for this I shall love you forever.:)))

Wow... this wish list thingy actually works. *beams* I am going to go and fulfill someone else's wish now.;) *hums happily*

*LoL* Glad to be of assistance and you're adorable when you're squeeing :P This wishlist thingie is definitely fun; I actually got an A/L icon from Aglarien out of it so far and have been enjoying skimming other people's lists when I see them. I'm actually trying to get the LAS group to do this now :P

Yeah, the link to that song is hard to open because the song has some weird file extension. Windows Media Player won't open it, but itunes will, if you have that installed on your computer :)
