Have you got something exciting happening in the near future? What are you looking forward to at the moment?

I'm looking forward to a pay rise at work.

April 15th: My next student loan cheque + amelie out on DVD

― Graham, Wednesday, 27 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Some upcoming shows, hopefully a date or two :-), getting to work on the new novel, enjoying the longer days and warmer weather -- a variety of small things. And a certain George Lucas movie.

I should also say I'm enjoying the highly illegal dub of a popular effort I received today. So nice.

― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 27 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I'm looking forward to getting out of credit card debt. And also playing a gig in front of a (hopefully) large crowd next Friday (they'll be someone else's crowd, but a crowd's a crowd really).

I'm looking forward to having no school Friday, going on a school- related trip to NYC Saturday (wheee! we will see the crucible and ride on a bus for like 9 hours, which makes me really happy), and watching the fountainhead for comic value either this friday or some other weekend.

― Maria, Wednesday, 27 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

tomorrow.

― jess, Wednesday, 27 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Tomorrow my spring break starts - well, after school ends. That's exciting and good to look forward to. Plus my family is having a firepot that night (pot of boiling broth in the center and you cook raw stuff to perfecting in little nets, it's an Asian thing) and my boyfriend is invited. Plus I get to spend some "quality" time with my sister on Friday, then I get to see some friends on Saturday, Sunday I am either going out to dinner or seeing my boy again before he leaves for school, Monday I am touring some place I might apply to...But in any case, I have lots of things to look forward to, and I am very happy about this.

― jen, Wednesday, 27 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I am looking forward to warmer weather so I can wear my new clothes.

Going to NYC on May 3rd is right up there. Can I look forward to finding a job, even though the prospect is very small at present?

And it's silly and small, but one of my favourite people is having a job-leaving do next week that I'm really looking forward to. If I'm lucky, N. might be there too! What more can you ask for?

I am off work, it is sunny outside, and I am on ILE. I DISAPPOINT MYSELF oh well at least I haf thort of ALE. In fact, what I generally look forward to in my life is drink these days.

― Sarah, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Odd rave tonight at some crazy ruined castle in bogIreland which I mentioned before. And ORBITAL on Saturday sadly not at a ruined castle. Oh and can I go on? Friday week is Old Skool Nite 3 at the Red Box, and the last one was surprisingly brilliant, it's once a month and a big crowd of friends will probably go. Then the day after that it's Mr C. and then DJ Falcon the week after that. Then I need to plan the next few weeks. Oh and there's lots of insignificant boring annoying non-going out stuff in between.

― Ronan, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

August sees the release of LotR on DVD and then November sees the EXTENDED VERSION...

Or hide in Katies spice cupboard with the GARAM MASALA GOBLINGS and then come out in the dead of night and watch it myself on RickyTs DVD playah! HA HA, HA HA HAAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA oh dere.

― Sarah, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

There is a film in which Hobbits sing. You really don't want to see it though.

― RickyT, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

LotR. gah! Pleased to see it won "The Keanu Reeves Award for most homoerotic film" in one of the alternative Oscars.

― Alan T, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

The first day of a ten day university break begins today, but I have many projects to complete during this time and so I'm not looking forward to anything right now.

― Mitch Lastnamewithheld, Thursday, 28 March 2002 01:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

it is curious and possibly significant that tolkien — who is on the surface very extremely PRO goth, in the ruskin/morris sense AND the ann radcliffe sense — incorporates the word into names to imply radical evil...

I was looking forward to my friend N's birthday party for her fiancee S, to be thrown in their Canal St loft, and at which I would be the DJ. HOWEVER their insecure and childish roomie A has some inexplicable phobia of a very good friend of theirs/ours who would be certain to attend. Since A controls the loft, and they are all at his mercy, they have all had to bend to his will. They've just called the whole thing off (since not inviting the problematic friend would be far stranger and not-right than simply not having the party, or having it elsewhere)... N's made a bazillion phone calls to invite people and now has had to make the same bazillion calls to disinvite them. N is beyond furious... Soo... I'm kind of looking forward to a sandwich...

Saturday in Jersey City they're showing a supposedly great and hard to find film called Delivered Vacant - it's a documentary about the brutal gentrification process that went on in Hoboken not so many years ago. Not available on video or DVD. I'm psyched. Some of y'all NYCers should make the trip and we can also have Pozole and Chilaquiles at Taqueria.
