1. How many and which of your fandoms do you own on DVD?
All one of my fandoms - I have both HP DVDs, plus a Canadian copy of Philosopher's Stone, thanks to![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
terig.
I guess technically I used to be in the Tomorrow People fandom, and while I know that some of the seasons are out on DVD in the UK, but regionless, I haven't bought them yet. Perhaps when they get to some of my favorite episodes?
2. If you had tapes, did you toss them when you got the DVDs?
I won't toss my Tomorrow People vids when I get the DVDs, because they won't have the random snippits of old Nickelodeon programs & adverts on it, and nothing compares to having tv-promos from 1982!
3. What are your favorite extras (commentary tracks, behind-the-scenes featurettes, bloopers, foreign language dub, interviews with cast, etc.)? Generally and specifically.
I am shameless for commentary on DVDs, but unfortunately, the HP vids don't have it. So I'd have to say extra scenes, especially those that take place in Borgin & Burkes and feature Jason Isaacs, yum.
4. What do you view first: the episodes, commentary, extras?
Extras, always extras! Wheee!
5. What fandoms on DVD do you not yet own or are not out yet?
Erm. Prisoner of Azkaban. Not out yet. Heh.
Friday Five
1. Do you enjoy the cold weather and snow for the holidays?
Well, I would, except I live in South Florida, where truly cold weather is unheard of for the holidays. We did get a fake!snow machine, though!
2. What is your ideal holiday celebration? How, where, with whom would you celebrate to make things perfect?
I wish all my friends from every circle of my life could come down and enjoy our Hanukah party with us. This is the ninth year that we're having a party during Hanukah, with latkes and music and snow cones and friends, friends, friends, and it's always wonderful - but I wish everyone who I care about could be here.
3. Do you do have any holiday traditions?
We collect dreidels. I inherited my grandfather's collection of dreidels and tops, and the boys and I will play with them for hours. Also, the annual party is a tradition - and this year, I'm going to return to making my spicy ginger cookies, yum!
4. Do you do anything to help the needy?
Most years I participate in Toys for Tots, and we donate through the boys' school.
Back in 1998, Aaron's grandmother got on my case because I told her that Aaron and I wouldn't be spending Christmas Day at a soup kitchen, which was a tradition he'd done with his family from the time he was about 12; we weren't telling anyone I was pregnant, and she said I was being selfish and thinking only of my own day off. I couldn't explain that I was actually thinking of the complete nausea I experienced when being around turkey, including hers on Thanksgiving weekend. I don't think our relationship has ever truly recovered.
5. What one gift would you like for yourself?
A trip to NYC for June 3-5, 2004. No question, if there is one thing I want for this year, that is it.
I'd also love an iPod, but I'd rather go to NYC to see PoA with a bunch of you.
Happy Birthday,taradiane! Wishing you all the best in the world for your birthday & the new year!
