Spent the day at the cricket, which anyone who follows me on Twitter could tell you as I was rather more spammy that I tend to be. Oh, New Zealand. Not even Vettori could save us. I was talking about meeting a friend, but in the end went by myself, which was okay, had a couple of beers, sat in the sun, read a book and happily had wi-fi. I can now say I've been to a cricket game at the Basin Reserve, which is something I've always wanted to do in Wellington.

I also seem to be having a small ER nostalgia thing. With the series ending, I'm realising how fond of it was when I watched it regularly.

Alan Speinwall had a cool sum-up post where I found this You Tube clip of Carter and Benton awesome-ness.

Cut! )

And while I am embedding:

TDS interview with Peter Orszag full of adorable nerdiness )

(o.O That embed code is insane. It's like Word HTML. Is all that necessary?)

And okay, one two more. Muse are posting clips to a You Tube channel. They're random, cute and hilarious.

Dom in a field, and all of them singing in a toilet with a microphone, really )

I know this thought is not news to the internet, but Michelle Obama is awesome, and gorgeous. I save the most photos to my hard drive from [livejournal.com profile] obama_daily than any other place at the moment. Damn you G20 trip!

Armageddon tomorrow! Guests not quite as exciting as previous years for my particular geek interests, but should still be fun. ;)

1) Dad has watched nearly all of Firefly this weekend and is lovng it. Mmm, convert. Not that I can babble fannishly to him about ships or anything, but it's one more person who will go and see 'Serenity' when it gets here. I meant to do other things but ended up watching a lot of it with him because I was reminded how wonderful it is. <3

2) The D row of the 'Alternative' section at Real Groovy proved my undoing on Saturday. I bought Death Cab for Cutie's 'Transatlanticism,' The Dresden Dolls' self-titled album and The Decemberist's album 'Picaresque.' It wasn't cheap but they're all fantastic albums.

3) I don't think I would have actually believed Bernie Eccelstone (Boss of Formula One racing, for those who aren't familiar) said 'I have a theory women look good in white, like all other domestic appliances' (paraphrased) unless I had seen the clip on the news tonight. Not that I thought he was a nice guy or anything, just that, who the hell says (or thinks, but I'm not that naive) that?! What a complete and utter ass! I stared at the TV screen aghast.

4)I haven't re-read OotP yet and haven't even pre-ordered HBP yet either. I am a bad HP fan. Also, one who is totally dreading the re-read because yeah, it's going to make me bawl. I'd like to say I'm over it completely, but I'm totally not. *sap* I will do it though, because there are all sorts of small details missing in my head which I think I'm going to need to know.

5) The new Doctor Who series is coming here soon on Prime! After all the squee I've seen about it, I can't wait to finally see it myself. Now, if only we'd get Veronica Mars and Stargate: Atlantis ...

6) House is still ruling my life. I even have fic and god forbid, vid bunnies. I've also seen the cane-grabbng scene from the Unaired Pilot (through the generosity of [livejournal.com profile] darkeyedwolf) and *dies* OTP!

7) Someone in Christchurch owns a silver Aston Martin DB9. I saw it the other day and had to cross the road to make sure I wasn't imagining it and to get a better look. So pretty.

8) Australian Cricket Team: WTF?
