lwoodMeanwhile, from an undisclosed location in Uttermost Ohio, my favorite Retired Israeli Commando was trying to satisfy the addiction to Babylon 5 I'd given her -- she didn't think it was fair to ask me for Season 4 so soon after leaving Pantheacon with Season 3, for some bizarre reason, so she was trying to get it from her local library.
The library, being in rural Ohio (as a former Clevelander, "rural Ohio" = Ohio && !Cleveland), didn't have any, but could get them via interlibrary loan from, strangely, Texas (the music noted below is pure, pure coincidence, I assure you). It would take 2-3 weeks, no way of knowing how long she could have them, no way of knowing if it were one disc of the set or a whole season... nothing.
But she did it.
Three weeks later, the whole flippin' season's boxed set arrives at the Library of Uttermost Ohio, she's only allowed to have it (all twenty-two episodes, Gentle Reader!) for a week, and then she has to wait another three weeks before she can have it back. From Texas.
She was just getting informed of all of this, literally on the phone with the library, when the doorbell rang. It was the mailman, with a box from California bearing Season 4 of B5, because when I'd gotten Season 3 from her without a cover letter, it took no great seeress to know that the thing to do was to swap boxed sets, retape the box, and send it right back to Undisclosed, Ohio.
My favorite Retired Israeli Commando has just sent me e-mail telling me, that, and I quote, "rock." Also that I am psychic. Retired Israeli Commando++.

Date: 2005-04-05 11:46 am (UTC)You may remember me from a few weeks back on lysana's journal, asking about Hella. Happy to exchange emails (in a not so public forum), but the LJ email I tried bounced back. If you can suggest an alternative, I would be very grateful. My email address is nat.westwood@gmail.com
In the meantime (to get the ball rolling) how do you envisage Hella, when you talk to Her?
Thanks
Nat (lj user erindellr)
