One evil thing in my life recently: Comcast doesn't include SciFi network in our package, and since I'm only here for a few weeks (Chicago), I'm not paying $$$$ for the package that has it. Just praying I can find a free and legal download of S3 Dr. Who, or else waiting for the DVD.
Several great things in life recently:
Possum on a wire: Last week, sitting out on my deck back home, I saw the possum walking very slowly and carefully alone the telephone wire from tree to tree. Like an armadillo on a tightrope.
Dry French Rosé: I find pink wine generally to taste like soda pop, but found that the rosés of Provence can be dry and fine. Guigal seems to be the best I've found so far, but haven't found that here, either. Am trying Mas de Bressades with hope, once it's chilled.
La Vie en Rose (there's a theme here): Great, wonderful movie about the life of Edith Piaf. The actress and the singer are both amazing, and love the way it's put together, with haunting moves back and forth in her life.
The Orphan's Tales: I've known for a while that this was an amazing book, but saved it for the quiet time here when I could read with total absorption--and glad I did. Valente (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
yuki_onna) weaves in and out from tale to tale, with gorgeous poetry, fabulous metamorphoses, and stories that won't let you turn out the light and go to sleep.

Re: wine. Have you ever tried green wine/vinho verde? This wouldn't be of the like rose kind of comment but more like it's not well known, and I've gotten fond of it especially in warm weather.

About Doctor Who I have them on my computer, so I could burn them and send to you. They are in mixture of formats divX and some in hd.264 formats and they fill about 330 mb. Per episodes .

That's an extremely kind offer to burn DVD's, but it seems as though it might be very expensive to mail them--although I'd certainly pay the postage and the cost of the blank DVD's, if you'd let me know a rough estimate. Could I play them with a regular DVD player?

Your DVD can probably not play all the formats, most of them are encoded with divX so if your dvd surport divX or mpeg4, can you see them. At the end I downloaded another new file format H.264, because it was new and it should give a better picture quality. If your DVD player is not a new end high DVD player. Can you most likely not see them.
If you can stand to watch the show on your computer, can you eventual download VlC Media Player, if yours standard media player can’t read the mpeg-4 or h.264 formats. It's free
You can find VLC here http://www.videolan.org/vlc/
The files will fill one or two DVD and postal charge can not be so expensive, so please don’t think about the cost.
If you still want the DVD’s, can you send me the addressee to my email account lakrids404@gmail.com
