Birthday Update

[redfiona99]

Mum got me "LOTR: The Making of the Movie Trilogy", which I did a quick read through. It's fantastic, and the sheer amount of work that went into the films boggles the mind.

Yo the Academy, not only should you give PJ best director, but LOTR should get best make-up, SFX and costumes.

Oh and best score too, but I don't expect you ever to get that one right. (BTW, yes I'm still peed off about Gladiator not winning)

So tempted to buy the first two EE DVDs from Amazon, but yet scared of it at the same time. Anyone got any Amazon horror stories/good stories to tell?

My birthday cake had penguins and an igloo. Which was cool.

You're not alone in the annoyed-Gladiator-didn't-win stakes, believe me. *rants*

And Amazon... well, I've been ordering things from them rather randomly (and with alarming regularity) for about three years now, and nothing's ever gone drastically wrong. I won't say that nothing's ever gone wrong at all, but really all that's happened is petty stuff like things were dispatched and didn't actually arrive until about a week later (I blame Royal Mail for that, though), and of course there's the 'sorry, it's out of stock' stuff you get with most places at some point.

My point? Amazon's usually quite reliable. I've had things from Amazon.co.uk, .com, .de and .fr, too, so we're not just talking UK Amazon ;)

And oooh, penguins! *admires*

So long as it's not just me. And thanks for the info.

Happy birthday!

Amazon works just fine for me, though I usually use bn.com (barnes and noble - I don't know if you guys have them over there). And your cake sounds awesome. =)

Thanks. And as with all things, I think there's a Barnes and Noble in London (actually, I might have been in it). The cake was awesome, even if I haven't eaten any yet.
