Coming in just under the wire....
Aug. 10th, 2008 09:55 pmToday is International Duran Duran Appreciation Day! Entertainment Weekly says so so it must be true!*
Have you appreciated Duran Duran today?
If not, EW has some lovely links at the above-linked-to site to entertain you. And I think I promised![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
roguebitch a Slytherin-centric vid to Union of the Snake (which was playing on VH1 Classics just after I watched a CoS trailer for the first time, iirc).
If appreciating Duran Duran isn't your thing - or if you've done enough appreciating for the day - check out the Bar-Rick-roll that was posted to youtube this weekend ( behind the cut )
Now, I'm off to try and find out why my first order from BPAL didn't go through - something about my email address being unacceptable? - and see if any Terminus reports are up yet. Hope y'all had fun!
* While you're over at EW, make a stop at their tribute to Isaac Hayes and their list of 15 Bernie Mac roles to remember.

What Moving Requires
Feb. 24th, 2006 03:32 pmPacking, and also, selling. I've put a bunch of things up on eBay - fifty percent of whatever comes in from the items' sale will go to FictionAlley's Katie O'Brien Scholarship Fund - we're also taking applications for the scholarships now, too, through the next two months, so we're working on funding the scholarships for 2009 and beyond.
a-ha, Genesis, Journey & Julian Lennon concert programs, Live Aid stuff, old Rolling Stone issues, and some cool 1984 Olympic stuff, as well as a few Les Miz promo photos from 1991. I'm wondering how the sales are going to go - I've only ever sold I think one thing on eBay - a 1994 Humphrey the Camel which I sold back during the craze in 1998 for over seven hundred dollars - it basically was the down payment on a car. Of course, now, they're going for at most, $250. I am so amused by the marketplace sometimes.
In related news, I was devestated whenjlh told me that Smash Hits wasn't going to be published anymore. As I told her yesterday, whippersnappers these days don't know how good they have it. Why, in MY day, we had to *purchase* Star Hits at a newsstand, then find the Record Runner ad, and SEND them a CHECK through the POSTAL MAIL, and if we were LUCKY, three to five weeks later, our copy of the new DURAN DURAN or WHAM or NIK KERSHAW album would arrive, and they were a RECORD store so you couldn't even get them to send you a CASSETTE of Now That's What I Call Music 4! And if you could DRIVE, you'd have to drive eighteen miles or so, UPHILL BOTH WAYS (a bit) to find an import record store where you MIGHT be able to buy a very early CD of the PET SHOP BOYS but more likely you'd end up with yet another WET WET WET single.
I was, however, very pleased to see that Record Runner, at least, is still around, and still selling the Adam Ant and Spandau Ballet and Swing Out Sister necessities that one really needs.
Now, I have to go through my collection of 45s...
