owlbeerI caught the end of the BAFTA awards last night and I was going to turn it off after I saw that Brokeback won but I was comfortable and had a cat on my lap so I kept it on - I'm really glad I did.
Now I admit I usually watch award shows to see who won and see the pretty and (sometimes) talented people in their pretty clothes but the speech that Lord Putnam (the Academy Fellowhsip recepient) gave made the night for me - and not just because of his shout out to George Clooney, although that was both cool and cute - it was that he actually made me feel positive about the media of film and reminded me of how it can touch people's lives. I readily admit that I'm a sap, but it actually made me tear up a little. It was really a beautiful speech. Usually the 'lifetime acheivement' recepients are when you go for a walk to the fridge but this really rocked. I didn't even know who David Putnam was until last night.
One other thing, I know I just recently said I really don't get the Jake Gyllenhaal thing (and I still don't get the OMG, hot!) But, the surprised look he had on his face when he won was very cute.

Grey's Anatomy still rocks and was part of a rather awesome night of TV last night - thanks to my friend's subscription to UKTV. 'Yes, Minister' (Nigel Hawthorne *sniff*) followed by 'Judge John Deed' (still can't get over the Martin Shaw obsession and still don't really know why. I'd seen this ep before too and still watched the whole thing despite the small overlap with Grey's), and then Grey's Anatomy. I just really love all the characters ... with the exception of Meredith, who's okay but annoying, but does stragnely get less annoying in the proximity of McDreamy. Why? I don't know, but she does. Also, Alex has started to grow on me. Damn it. I knew it was going to happen.

Couch Baron's latest VMars recap? Left me grinning like the obsessed girl I am.
Disclaimer: Haven't seen the ep. This is purely based on a recap and people's thoughts I've seen around.
Mac/Beeaver! Awesome. Cute V/L I-hate-you-but-not-really banter and Logan plotting in really a rather nasty way. Nice. I know some people expressed doubts that Logan had planned it all out - but as soon as I heard about it my first thought was, 'isn't that one awfully big coincidence? The girl he hits on is the guy whose testimony puts him on the bridge?' Things don't work like that for Logan. He planned it. Total jackass, he's totally using Hannah, but that's in character. He was genuine about Veronica, but that doesn't mean he's not capable of it when his life's on the line and it's not someone he cares about - though saying that I can see a twist working it's way in there with him actually starting to care for Hannah. Things do work like that for Logan. Poor fucked-up kid.

As for RL, things are going okay. Flats are really hard to find this time of year, which I should have predicted, but it's going okay. The weather's been, for the most part, beautiful (warm summer nights *loves*) and Wellington is awesome.
