Book: The Daria Database - from UK

Just to say that I've now added to my Daria books page a link that takes you directly to the catalogue entry for _The Daria Database_.

The catalogue in question is that of an online discount bookstore based in the UK. Their service will be of most use to people living in the UK and Europe, but they do ship anywhere.

Daria books are (reportedly) readily available in the US, but us overseas fans have a harder job tracking them down!

http://www.sylvesternet.freeserve.co.uk/members/books/daria/ for my Daria books & video and Splendora CD page, or to skip my site completely and jump straight into the catalogue (boo!), use http://www.bookshop.co.uk/ser/serdsp.asp?shop=3530&isbn=0671025961&DB=224

Hope this helps someone.

Martin.

I'm going to hate you when my credit card bill arrives, but thanks now :)

Although I doubt we will have Daria in the uk by the time I get through the 2 daria books and the 12 others I ordered, at least it will take my mind off it.

I would order those Daria books if it wasn't for two unfortunate facts: 1) I have 3 weeks to get my Electronics coursework finished, and 2) I am completely broke. Hmph.

<in avuncular voice> Hmph indeed, young Alli, hmph indeed.

But if (1) applied and (2) didn't, you might well have got the books anyway, and then spent your time reading the books instead of doing the coursework. Well, okay, if *I* were in your position, *I* might well have got the books anyway... <g>

By the time you get the dosh, you'll have time to read the books. And (as Paul nearly said) you'll want to, 'cos we'll still be waiting to hear if c5 have acted on their intention to acquire s3. The fact that my latest email to them is still unanswered gives me the uncomfortable feeling that "Acquire series three of 'Daria'" is on the same list as "Clean out newsroom fridge; get new sign for car park; make sticker for coffee kitty jar; send out holiday rota for 2001/2." Ah well, hope springs eternal...

Is there an email address where you can contact MTV UK? I tried the site but it just crashes my browser :(

Well, I've just been to have a look, and there seems to be an error in the script on their info page.

And they don't expect anyone to be searching for Daria. I looked at the source for their homepage, and: <META name="keywords" content="music television, MTV, MTV Europe, music, chat, games, party zone, select, Schedules, TV, television, cool, artists, Beavis and Buthead, videos, Europe music awards, hip hop, RnB, pop, rock, techno, Richard Blackwood, Robby Williams, Boyzone, Spice girls, All saints, Hanson, Pras, Puffy, Will Smith, Wyclef, Madonna, Massive attack, Natalie Imbruglia, LL cool J, Janet jackson, Cleopatra, Eagle eye cherry.">

Interesting that they've misspelt "Beavis and Butthead." (Or am I wrong? Does it really have only one 'r'?)

I guess animation isn't at the very top of the site's agenda. ;:-)

How about guessing? I'd try [email]. Just a thought.

PS [email] might be feeling lonely....

Don't laugh, it says it on the front cover of an old issue of the NME that's on the table here! I wouldn't know otherwise, honestly!

Yes, sure, right, and the posters are covering cracks, and the CD is a friends. <g>

I NEVER had a Robbie Williams CD, or poster, even back when I was 12 years old and one of those dumb little tarts who'll buy anything popular regardless of how crap it is! :)

Doh! <slap> Sorry!

Well, perhaps Paul nearly did (who knows what strange powers are at work?), but I should have said, "As Bettster nearly said."

Yeah, so it's just as well that I'm broke! I need to do that coursework. I probably won't, though, I've given up on that. I said at school the other day, "I'll never get my Electronics coursework finished, I think I'll just give up on it...." and Scott replied "Good, you'll have more time to help me with mine!" LOL. I should probably explain to him how "his" circuit works, else he'll do OK on the coursework and totally fail the exam.... <g>

Nah, it'll be revising, then exams, then summer and holidays and stuff.... I'm going on holiday 3 times this year, which is nice.

Maybe MTV'll show it...

Oh, it's all right for you. 8-p

What about those whose only source for Daria is c5? "Okay, everyone, round to Alli's!" <g>

I know that *one* solution ;-) for the benighted hordes of c5 dependents is that we each find someone local who's (a) got MTV, and (b) has the good taste, wit, intelligence, et cetera, to enjoy Daria. Trouble is, all of the local people I can think of who qualify under (b) *don't* qualify under (a).

Maybe MTV *won't* show it. Would that make it better for you? :)

I know someone who enjoys Daria (he doesn't have taste, wit, or intelligence, does this matter? <g>) who has MTV, but I don't need to know someone who enjoys Daria and has MTV, because I *am* someone who enjoys Daria and has MTV.... Oh, the irony.... <g>

I've just realised that it's 20 to ten. It doesn't feel that late....this could be because I got up at about 4.30pm.... Oh well....

No, no, no, a thousand times no! It wouldn't make me feel any better to know that everyone else in the UK was Darialess too. 8-)

You're welcome! Let me know when the cc bill comes, and I'll retreat to a bunker in Scotland for a week or two. <g>

Yes, I reckon it'll be more than 14 books before we see series three (if we do - see my reply to Alli, in this thread).

Enjoy them!

Argh!

I just checked my order status page and all 14 are "This title is on order from our suppliers and we have no further information about its status at the present time."

I suppose that's what happens when you try to cheapskate by specifying all USA editions :(

When I got that, there was a delay of a week to ten days. YMMV.
