amazon high

Was just browsing the net for something and somehow found myself reading articles on Amazon High, a two-hour pilot for a Xena spin-off that never aired. Parts of it were used in the Xena episode "Lifeblood," and I really liked what I saw.

Man, what I wouldn't give to get a copy of that in some form. They showed it at DragonCon in 2002, so I know someone somewhere must have it.

After Googling for two hours, I finally found a site that lists it as part of a trading tree. Will e-mail and see what I have to do to get it. I'm not very hopefully, but at least I've asked.

edit: *does a little dance* wheeeee!

I have been really productive today. You know. Not doing a gorram thing. Oops. Things I should be doing:

+ working on Apex commission
+ writting Faculty/SGA AU
+ making icons
+ eating lunch

Uhm. Okay, maybe I'll go take care of the last one and see if I can work on some of the others.

Wow. Oh my fucking god. I just spent 10 minutes on the phone being reemed by my father's mother because my brother wants to change majors.

I don't know what sort of shit my father is speading, but she seems to be under the impression that my brother has no major at all and will thus spend 5 or 6 years in college which is UNACCEPTABLE. This was repeated to me six or seven times. I was then told that I needed to run away from my mother because she is a no talent, loser of a woman, and isn't that right. Of course I disagreed, but I'm pretty sure she wasn't listening. I was also told that I should go find a job so I can make lots and lots of money because no one wants to marry a girl who has no money. Ohmygodwhatthefuck. She also threatened that if I didn't go find a high paying job that she would move back to Albany to keep my mother company because she knows how much my mother dislikes her. Again, whatthefuck?! She told me that I was her favorite and that I should not disappoint her and that I shouldn't listen to my brother and that if he hates computer science, so what? He can graduate and make a lot of money!!!

Are we sensing a theme here? I almost told her right then and there that I didn't give a shit what she thought or what my father thought as I haven't seen the bastard in over a month and he hasn't paid for any household expenses in longer than that. Instead I just held the phone away from my ear (6" away and I could still hear her screaming) and just made gutteral sounds that made it seem like I understood anything she was fucking saying.

She also repeatedly told me that my father works very, very hard (AHAHAHAHAHA!) and that his youngest rother has given him lots of money to buy a condo in the city and help my father pay my brother's tuition. Well, that's some news to me. Oh, and of course if I were to find a job in the city, I could stay with him and my aunt and uncle inthe condo because it has three floors and I could stay in the third one. Yeah, right. As if I would put myself on the same block with them, never mind the same fucking building. I got told once again that my mother is a loser and if I stay with her I will also become an unmarried loser. And if my brother doesn't go back to a computer science major he will be come a loser like my cousin Ed and do I want that?

Oh god. Can I just.... I need to kill something right now. Like, right the fuck now. *strangles something*
