my crowded little heart - part I :)

Saw the trailer for Eastern Promises. Oh dear. Viggo seems to be mostly naked in this movie, nicely waxed, tattooed ALL OVER and seriously kicking ass.:P Oh, and he speaks with a BELIEVABLE Russian accent. As in, believable for someone who has actually talked to real Russians.:P I have a distinct feeling this is going to be MORE creepy than A History of Violence (which is, of course, a good thing ;P).

Which reminds me that I STILL haven't seen Alatriste. Yes, I can order the original Spanish DVD, but what would be the point if I can't watch it anyway? (it's 'region 2', obviously) And that, in turn, reminds me that there supposedly exists some kind of software that allows a computer to recognize and play all DVD formats. I know someone once posted some info about it on one of the Yahoo groups I belong to, but it was long ago and didn't save the link. I tried to google it, but all I got were websites selling multiregional DVD players - which is not something I'm interested in at the moment (I don't own a TV in the first place... LOL). I want to be able to watch European DVD's on my PC. Any helpful pointers, anyone?...

In other random news, I had a very erotic dream this morning, involving someone I honestly haven't thought about in years. A 17-year-old boy I had a serious (though pretty innocent and nearly platonic) crush on when I was 14. Holy moly. Looks like I just don't get over people, no matter how much time goes by. My poor little heart is so very crowded now... lolol. (And btw, after that dream I just couldn't resist googling his name, which I accidentally remember - and sure enough, there is an internal medicine practitioner of that name working at a hospital in the nearest big city to the little town he was from... lol. Of course there is hardly a way of proving that it's actually him - he didn't exactly have the most unique name ever, and there were no photos available; not that I would recognize him after twenty years anyway... But still. Maybe there was a reason for the dream, and maybe I was meant to find out what became of him. Or maybe I'm just off on one of those 'living in the past' tangents that seem to hijack my mind more and more often of late...;P)

I think that most PCs can play DVDs from any region (unlike most DVD players that are region-specific unless you pay extra for a "multi-region" model. I bought the Sharpe series on region 2 and my laptop plays them.

So are you coming to Toronto, then??

Mine doesn't. My sister gave me a DVD that was bought in Poland, and when I try to play it, my laptop says there is no disc in the drive.:(

Yes. Provided I get my vacation approved - which I haven't asked for yet, because I don't know exactly when I'll be taking it. I'm thinking the week before 15th - but should I take the whole week, or just, say, Wednesday through Friday and then the Monday after?... What are your plans?

Right now, assuming the date of the 15th is right (I'm still nervous about that!) I'd plan to fly in on Thursday the 13th and leave on Monday the 17th.
