I *love* being snowed in. I have decided that I am, in fact, snowed in, for if I look out the window here on the second floor, I see snow. I will not look at the roads. Snow in the trees is all I need.

I am watching movies and wrapping presents and cleaning up a bit here and there and knitting and all is well with my soul.

I just finished watching Peter Jackson's "Heavenly Creatures" and since I am a morbid person who spends hours at a time watching Forensic Files and likes to nap to American Justice -- I googled Parker-Hulme Murder cause I wondered about how the movie came about - and Juliet Parker is now known as Anne Perry - the mystery novelist. I did not know this.

Also - George Clooney appears to have been studying Cary Grant in "To Catch a Thief" for the "Oceans" movies but Marky Mark really sucks in "The Truth About Charlie" and it makes me sad. I am still enthralled by the at will hotness of Matt Damon and need the Bourne movies on DVD in order to study this phenomenon.

ETA: forgot the entire reason I was posting. I have been using http://www.btefnet.net of late since Suprnova was down a lot. Now that it is no more - well - it looks like this place is still active. See - Suprnova didn't actually store the torrents - it was just a hub - a place to find them. I think torrents will still be around - we just have to find out where they are now.

Of course I could just be talking out of my ass. Ha! I don't care. I am snowed in! Lalalalala.

A few years back on Xmas Day at my grandparents Gone With the Wind was about the only thing worth watching on TV and so we sat through it and I pointed out to my aunt the Clooney/Grant resemblance. It definitely does exist and you raise the somewhat interesting possibility that it's deliberate on Clooney's part.

I like tvtorrents.net, myself. (Though I just thought to check that address and make sure I wasn't misremembering it and it's really .com or something, and it appears to be gone unless I am in fact misremembering it. Dang, I hope I am, or else that I've found a replacement by the time Lost is in new episodes again -- I'm not home to watch Wednesday nights, and I prefer downloading to programming the VCR because I've had too many problems in the past with power outages or forgetting to set the VCR or running out of tape.
