May. 7th, 2008 05:01 pmOh dear, I am SUCH A GEEK.
...and as unashamed of as it could possibly get. Ever. I knew it was coming out - it got a glowing review on the newspaper, and as I wandered in the bookshop today (looking around for gifts for mom, it's Mother's Day here next
--but they only had the Italian translation. Which means that I ordered the original. :P
(I know I could have got it off Amazon, but... well, I was there already, and it takes months for their stuff to arrive anyway. :P What I get off amazon.com, at least. I guess it's the ocean-crossing.)
Still. HAPPY! I don't know when it'll arrive, I'm afraid around the beginning of June, but. Aw. Happy.
(And geeky. Oh yes I'm geeky all right.)

I'm hitting up my local Chapters today to pick up a Star Wars book that's not supposed to be released for another week (but there's no strict on-sale date, I checked, and I would know since I WORK there). Might have to give that one a look see too!

on 2008-05-10 09:16 pm (UTC)A little, yeah :( BUT the shop assistant told me the real price will very likely be a little lower, what with the current exchange and all... plus, much to my delight, I will probably not spend a cent on it anyway. ;D (There's this "fidelity card", at the bookshop, that grants you certain discounts if you reach enough points. It will probably end up covering the book cost. ;D)

on 2008-05-11 05:17 pm (UTC)I don't know when I'll see it myself, as it definitely won't be on Release Date... and it's one movie I will probably end up watching on my own, but, well. I'm sure love will find a way. ;D

on 2008-05-11 05:29 pm (UTC)AAAAAAAAAAAAH OH MY GOD! :O I am so sad. SO DAMN SAD. You know when JB sings Anything Goes for the dvd extras? I was watching it, enjoying it, and thinking "my, this feels familiar, where have I heard it before?" AND TEMPLE OF DOOM IT IS. D: And I realized it only now! As I was checking out more Indy icons! Omg so sad.
WELL! I say that if you enjoy it, then it's good. *g* But I'm sad for John Rhys Davies too! :(( I'm going to miss Sallah ._.

I figure, Lucas has set the bar SUPER-LOW for me with the shit-hole Star Wars Episodes I-III, so YAY INDIANA JONES! Though yeah.. Sallah is the man.. *CLINGS TO YOU AND SOBS*

on 2008-05-12 02:20 pm (UTC)And AWWWWWWW how MUCH I loved the man! I so would have married him. ...except for the age difference. Which I totally tried to ignore until, ahem, I read he had turned 52.
And the article was on the Mickey Mouse comics I used to read every week.
There was something about the juxtaposition that just drove the point home... ;P

Hee, and you read Mickey Mouse comics? I always read Uncle Scrooge, myself. ;)
