YAY!

*Happy Dance*

I have Wonderfalls DVD Goodness!!!

Not quite sure how, given that the release date is Feb 1st, but my generous Father had apparently ordered them as a (belated) Christmas gift, and they arrived on his doorstep yesterday!

I am giddy with anticipation at sitting sown and watching the entire series, and basking in commentary goodness.

Favourite bit from my quick look so far: Tim using the word "specificity" in one of the special features. That is now my word of the day.

*sings* "I wonder wonder why the wonderfalls......."

I think I was the wrong age for Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance. I just couldn't get too excited about Phaedros.

I hit it as a sophamore in college and that was about perfect. I still think the importance of Rhetoric is misunderstood.

I think I was the wrong age for Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance.

This may have been my problem. I tried to read it in college, and all my friends were all into it, but I couldn't actually finish it. Zen and the Art of Archery, though, I loved.

Sigh. I have to wait and see if anyone gets me Wonderfalls for my birthday before I buy it myself, even though I'm firly sure no one will.

I'm extremely jealous of The Partyman right now.

I think my Ayn Rand issue (and Tim, frankly, I don't give a shit if you think she's brilliant. You're wrong.) rests around the idea that her whole philosophy was justification for behavior that was juvenile and selfish, unnecessarily self-important and self-indulgent and just generally crappy.

So much word. And amusement at the third wife gig.

I'm extremely jealous of Tim.

I can only dream of being able to use "specificity" so effortlessly.

So am I, sumi. Mine are on order as a Christmas present, so now I'm hoping for an ealry arrival, too. (Hope looms eternal, dontcha know)

Partyman's jealousy has admirable specificity.

I read it in college as part of a seminar on rhet crit. Enjoyed it. Favorite line? "The best students are always failing." That's me!

I've had the discs for Wonderfalls since last April. Neener. Neener.

Though mine had no commentary.

Ah, but that's because you are magic Allyson. I am a merely me, and distinctly lacking in the magic department.

Though mine had no commentary.

I imagine they also lacked Tim and the aforementioned "specificity" moment.

Neener. Neener.
