Shopping. With Straight Guys for Gay Movies.

[rosiedoes]

Jason and I went shopping, today. He had a casting in town and I had nothing better to be, so I met him in HMV Oxford Street, and that was the start of a heady descent into spending way too much money. But on cheap stuff.

The collection:

CDs:
Greatest Hits: Fleetwood Mac (£5)
Greatest Hits: Thin Lizzy - double album (£13)

DVDs:
Saving Private Ryan
Philadelphia (one of my all-time favourite movies, from which my all-time favourite song comes)
Brokeback Mountain
Romeo+Juliet
Catch-22
(total 5 for £30 with cunning Virgin Addict discount= 5:£20.00)

Food:
Pizza Hut - my shout.
(total food= £16.02 - left a £20.00)

Social:
Coffee with (~£4.00)
Psychic Development (£7.50)

JJ thoroughly impressed me by walking into Virgin and immediately picking up Brokeback Mountain. And buying it. He's straight. And just went to a casting for 'burly, hairy men' to play Vikings. And he unashamedly walked into Virgin and picked up The Gay Cowboy Movie.

Seriously proud of him for that. He didn't even think anything of it until I told him he was awesome.

However, I am now left with the following list of DVDs I've bought recently and not watched (or even unwrapped)

1. Dead Poets Society
2. Office Space
3. Stand By Me
4. Romeo+Juliet
5. Catch-22
6. Brokeback Mountain
7. Saving Private Ryan
8. Philadelphia
9. Memphis Belle
10. Quadrophenia
11. A Clockwork Orange
12. The Meaning of Life
13. Stargate: SG-1 (season three)


Dammit.

I then went back to Treadwell's, having already introduced Jason to its wonders, and bumped into Ella - so we went for coffee and came back in time to chat with the Rebeccas before they went off for a night out and I went downstairs to hang out with my gay psychic friends. Felt much more comfortable, this week. The guys from last week feel more like friends now, and it was weird to have people intruding in the group as newbies. It was an enormous group tonight - and as it's supposed to be a closed circle something will have to be done, as that many people just doesn't work. Ian's talking about splitting it up. Possibly so some of us end up in Team A. Not sure if I'll like that.

Either way - I get a really good feeling about him, he's really nice and down to Earth and seems to have the same view of being psychic that I do. He's very much into the paranormal side, rather than what he calls 'Aunt Bessie' - which is the old ladies in strings of pearls standing on stage getting messages in church. It's cool. I'm glad I discovered the group.

You totally have brilliant taste in DVDs. I adore some of those films so much.
I am totally due a re-watching of "Dead Poets.." I think, shall dig out the dvd tonight!

Also, are you still interested in CSI guests at a convention? As there are possibilities that a lot of cast members (main ones even, from all three shows) are interested but the convention/event organisers need to know that people who would go to the cons are interested?

Sorry I'm being a bit vague, a friend is writing up a post with all the information on it and I'll let you know about it as soon as I do! But it involves a lot of pimping and getting people to show their interest basically!

If you're talking about the WOLF Expo, I was asked to steward and I said I wasn't going.

I'm not actually that keen to meet any of them, really...

No, it's London Expo but they might do a CSI con on its own.
Aww okay!

London Expo is the WOLF Expo. It's the same people who do the Stargate Cons.

I'd go to a CSI-exclusive con, though.

*facepalm* Sorry I didn't realise, I get all mixed up with the different event organisers and things!

Hehe, s'ok.

By the way - there's a CSI: LV mini-series of comics out. I bought issue one today.
