- The weather today has been awful so I have dedicated today to watching ALL the Parks and Rec (I started on 2x21 this morning and now I'm watching 3x15. Oops?) So much love. So much. Ron and Leslie's friendship has reminded me how much I love well-done platonic friendships between men and women. Ron and Leslie, Sheridann and Ivanovia, Will and Diane. Also, Ben! Ben and Leslie are so precious. I want to hug them forever.
- ( Hawaii Five-0 2x18 )
- I also just heard about Alex taking a break from the show because of issues with pain medication following a shoulder injury. :( Oh, darling. I'm glad he's getting the help he needs and wish him all the best. xx It hits a bit close to home with something happening in RL too. All too real.
- Babylon 5 watching now in S5. The end of S4 was so good. Feelings.
- I finally got around to reading gyzym's Avalanche of Detour Signs (Sherlock, Molly and Molly/Lestrade). So, so good. Molly <3
- My laptop did incredibly weird shutting-down things last night but it seems okay today. It's 4.5 years old and this year is so not the time for it to die. *hugs it close*
- In happier news, I am cautiously optimistic that my contract at work is being extended for a little while, but I really need to get on that permanent-job thing.
I seem to have forgotten about dinner. Silly internet. Silly face of Alex O'Loughlin.
( Hawaii Five-0 2x17 - there shall be no discussion of the plot under this cut )
And in the weekend there was this:
( Fringe: A Better Human Being )
I enjoyed The Good Wife as well but don't have anything really substantial to say except that I adore Will and Diane's friendship so very much. I am also getting a little over Eli - I hope that changes.
I am also still watching allll the Babylon 5 - I'm now mid S4 which is further than I've watched before and the plotting is just so good - even if the acting can be a little hit and miss and the the 1990's take on future fashion is frightening. I must admit that I spoiled myself completely for the rest of the series last night by reading episode summaries. My need to know overcame my willingness to take the time to watch another season and a half. Impatient? Me? I will watch the rest of course, I can just take it a little slower now. ;)
So um ... food I guess.

B5 watch continues: G'Kar <3
I am not happy that apparently they aren't going to include performances of the Best Song nominees at the Oscars. Fuck you, Oscars, Bret singing with Muppets would have been awesome. I hope they change their minds.
I may have brought t-shirt today. I know, more geeky t-shirts, but Troy and Abed!
Edit: Do you know what you shouldn't discover at 11:40pm when you have work tomorrow? That one of your favourite authors has posted a new 30,000 word canon AU. it opens with a Steve and Jenna scene, you guys ... what is self control, exactly?

It's been a nice weekend; there's been fangirl catch-ups, I finally put together the collage of some of my postcards/tickets/etc from my overseas travels, I watched Mean Girls for the first time (yes I know, it took me long enough) which was hilarious and some internet memes are now making a lot more sense, and today was the Super Bowl, which was a pretty good, at-times-quite-stressful game. I was happy for the Giants, they deserved their win.
( Collage pic below if you're curious )
Also um, I just spent the last couple of hours reading Hockey RPF. This runaway!Jeff Skinner fic in fact. Um, it was really good, you guys and I kind of want to know many more things about Eric Staal (other than the fact that he's the captain/older brother figure and he's younger than me). I feel this was slightly inevitable as I've always been tempted by hockey fandom, but I do also blame the fact that it was all over my flist when I caught up this afternoon. (Upside: hockey may distract me from caring too much about H50 ... don't look at me like that, I said may).
I am also starting a Babylon 5 re-watch/watch (I've seen a lot of it but there's holes in my viewing). I love Londo and G'Kar so much, and Ivanonva is all sort of awesome.
I feel there was something else I meant to put in this, but no doubt I won't remember until after I push the post button.

Armageddon 2006
Apr. 30th, 2006 05:37 pmSo, I may have spent all day at Armageddon. *sheepish look* However, it was well, well worth it.
( X3, Serenity, Jewel Staite, Claudia Christian, Phil Jiminez and All Manner of Geekery )
Now, if you'll excuse me, there's a DVD I've been wanting to watch for a very long time now. ;)

all the world's a play ...
Jul. 1st, 2005 12:26 amI went to see The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) tonight, which consisted of three actors trying to squash all of Shakespeare's works into about three hours in a very, very hilarious way. It was fantastic and well, well worth the price of admission. Oliver Driver, Jeremy Elwood and Keith Some-Last-Name-I've-Forgotten did a wonderful job and the whole audience seemed to have a blast. So worth it. I'm so glad I finally decided to go on Tuesday and ramdomly texted some friends asking if they wanted to go too as, with two days notice, someone said yes! I would have gone alone, but it was a lot of fun with someone else there. Especially as said friend went up to the actors and asked for their autographs and I got to tell them personally how great I thought it was. They all seemd like nice guys.
However, while walking home on a high I started to fixate on one small thing I did when I was there, which I perhaps really shouldn't have. I'll probably see the person involved tomorrow and I'll talk to her about it. Gah. Stupid, stupid brain. I'm no doubt blowing this completely out of proportion.

Doctor Who starts here next Thursday at 7:30 on Prime! I must remember to tape it as I'll be in Queenstown when it's on. I'm going down with three friends to visit another friend for five days and to partake in the Winter Festival celebrations. Hopefully it will be a lot of fun.

Thanks to the wonderful DVD Unlimited (just a little addicted) I've now seen Before Sunrise ( and I'm not too sure what I was supposed to get out of it. )
I also rented the first disc of S1 of Babylon 5. Was it always that ... bad? Was it just the first season? Was it just the start of the first season? Is my brain glorifying it a little? Barring G'Kar and Londo (who are always wonderful), I really struggled to get much enthusiasm up for it at all. I'm still going to persevere with the rest of the season, it just wasn't quite what I expected/remembered.

My drivers liscene photo is actually kind of decent. I'm shocked.
