wow, you people sure love your tea!

*g* Thanks for all the advice and recommendations! I tried the Twinings Earl Grey Green Tea stuff again but this time with milk and sugar. It tasted loads better, no more woody taste! :D I think I mixed in too much milk though or there was something else because there was this odd sweet-really sour taste competing in my tongue that made me nauseous. I don't know whether I should blame my lack of tea brewing/making skill, the Earl Grey or the Green tea. I should get one that doesn't have a mix of flavors so I'll know which one works for me. =\

Or I can be really lazy and head off to Starbucks...heh. I'm already dependent on those coffee shops as it is, really must learn to do this tea thing independently. It would be nice if my mom was actually willing to indulge in my tea tasting test, because I can just ask her to get me packets of different types. Sadly, she just ignores me. Hrmph.

OMG. What is this?! After reading mellafe's movie post, I wandered to IMDB to see when Casanova and Pride & Prejudice would show here. Casanova's up on February 8th and Pride & Prejudice on the 8th of March. Ohmygoooodddd. I am incensed beyond belief.

And apparently, Brokeback Mountain was shown here 25th of October last year, for that Cinemanila International Film Festival. I didn't even know there was such a thing. =\ I actually had a feeling it might/would not be released to the general public because I'm sure the church would be in an uproar.

simply_strange, I tried and tried but the wallpaper refuses to come out. :( So I just made you a layout, fully coded as promised. :D Check it out? I'm bad at color coordinating at 12 past midnight, and I don't know why the heck the link colors for the header part refuses to change. It may be something I've set with mine, and since I'll be giving you a stylesheet for this, maybe it'll work. :D

Anyway, if you approve, tell me so I can link you to the image and the stylesheet! :D

And speaking of movies, I'm sure any respectable fan already knows that the Narnia DVD will be out April 4. Apparently, both the regular and two-disc special edition will be out the same day, and this makes me wonder if we'll be having the two-disc DVD here or if I would have to resort to Amazon (which I will, you know my obsession knows no bounds).

I had thought that maybe one of the bonus features would include Anna's 'documentary' video of the shoot, because she did one all throughout filming. That would've been nice. Still, the ones included sound awesome!

"A single disc release will have two commentaries (Andrew Adamson and his technical crew, and Andrew Adamson with the kids), a pop up fact track (created in conjunction with the C.S. Lewis estate) and a menu/screen saver with scenes of the production."

I really wanted a movie commentary with just the four kids, because it's my only other chance to hear how they're like behind the scenes. I guess I'll just have to be satisfied with that.

"The two disc set has all that plus a second disc of bonus features, housed in a case that looks like the wardrobe. Disc two’s menu actually lets you walk through the wardrobe as you select extras.

Bonus features on the second disc include:

Cinematic Storytellers
The Children’s Magical Journey
Anatomy of a Scene (the melting river)
Chronicles of a Director
Meet the Creatures of Narnia
Three dimensional map and tour
DVD production
Production footage

Video Business Online adds that the double-disc DVD "will include a collector’s booklet, concept art and 10 hours of bonus features on the second disc divided between features on filmmaking and features on the creatures and characters in the film.

10 hours of Narnia is OMG LET ME HAVE THAT for a fan like me. :D Someone please remind me to call every video store within the vicinity to inquire about this so I'll know if I have to go to Amazon. :D
