My heart goes out and my thoughts are with those in Japan or affected by the earthquake/tsunami/possible nuclear problem (jesus) ... for fuck's sake world. This is getting a little insane.

I also watched my first House ep for quite some time.

( House: Bombshells )

Random:

* Delighted to see that Troy won Fandom March Madness and Veronica got so close. :)

* I also saw the Smurfs trailer. Not linking because uh, yeah, it's that bad. NPH, I question your movie choices sometimes, I really do.

* I did however see the Super-8 trailer and that looks pretty sweet.

* As a follow up to the @MayorEmanuel Twitter feed thing. Rahm actually met the guy behind it (via a radio station so you know PR) and donated $5000 to a charity of his choice. Aww.

Now I get up to go to IKEA. Never been before. Wish me luck. It's on my 'things do to before leaving London' list. We don't have them in NZ. :P

Finally watched the House S4 penultimate and finale episodes.

( *broken* )

Also watched first two eps of S3 Heroes.

( Heroes: The Second Coming, The Butterfly Effect )

I really have to go to bed as I have an early meeting and I can't quite believe I stayed up to watch those two House eps. Damn you Hugh Laurie and Robert Sean Leonard.

Also, picked up SGA S1 and S3 for $40 each. Yay for sales and extras.

So, I am a bit of a backstory whore. Always have been as long as I've been in fandom. It's why I loved the Marauders the most in HP fandom, and well, it's manifested its self in other fandoms as well I just can't remember particular instances, anyway, point is, I am a sucker for a well-written backstory fic, and if it happens to be a John Sheppard backstory fic well, that's just, an entire different planet of awesome.

If you find yourself also afflicted, or you know, you just like awesome SGA McShep fic, check out S is for Sing by

cesperanza and Lim for

artword.

I know

cespreanza is recced everywhere, but with good reason, this is an awesome fic and shamefully took advantage of my desire for awesome John Sheppard backstory. I may go and read it again.

Life in general? Okay. Work. Eh. Hung out tonight with flatmate and watched Wimbledon (downright cheesy in places, but Paul Bettany! Bernard Hill! James McAvoy!), which was cool. Going out tomorrow. Have no real grand plans for the weekend.

Have also been catching little bits of House S3 which I missed when they aired. That third season finale kinda paled against all other ones they've done, huh? There were some very good eps in the middle-latter part of the season though. <3

I rang the airport and no luck with the iPod. The lady at Air NZ was lovely, but someone has probably pocketed it. I probably should check with the airport in case I dropped it actually in the airport itself. I don't think I did, but best check, just in case.

For the sake of my bank account balance and any hopes I have of saving money to travel, I would like to say that I will not end this weekend with a 32Gig iPod Touch in my possession, however I fear that would be a lie. (I might be secretly kinda excited about this).

Matt Taibbi writes books? This is something I should have known. *adds all to Amazon Wishlist*

Also, these House promo shots are really, really intriguing me. Damn it, I'm not in this fandom anymore but, but ... (and yeah, spoilers ahoy).

It is raining and I have washing on the line. Ah well, seems pointless to rescue it now.

I am going to play with tumblr some more. It's becoming quite addictive checking out other people's ones but I have found all sorts of cool stuff like Songza which is a music search engine and has an awesome interface. Seamless and so pretty, if a little ... orange. *web geeks*

Current Music: Foo Fighters - Another Round

To be honest, quite drunk. Had pleasant after-work drinks followed by pretty awesome curry with work friend. Mmm, Prawn Masala. So good. I really love beer.

Watching quite a lot of House right now. My two flatmates have been making their way through my S1 and S2 DVDs and I have caught an episode now and then, and have also started regularly watching the S4 eps that have been airing. Not absolutely fannish about it, but I have misssed it. The last two eps of S4 were particularly awesome (OMG House/Wilson), and I forgot how good 'No Reason' is. <3

Very busy weekend ahead. But I have had a couple of low-key ones recently and Armageddon geekery and possible fangirl dinners make me happy. Working tomorrow does not, but eh, I haven't worked a weekend for a while.

Also? I seem to have started to care about Top Chef. I don't know how this happened but all I know is Casey must win!

I am impressed how well this entry has been spelled, but saying that no one is seeing how much I have had to correct as I go, but the fact I can remember to correct it, is impressive. Seriously.

( Heroes: Four Months Later )

I'm also thinking of getting back into House. I watched maybe 3 or 4 eps of S3, but I'm feeling quite nostalgic for it now reading everyone's S4 premiere posts.

Finally, I caught my second full episode of Studio 60, my first being the Pilot. (TV2 are playing it at like 10:30. It really looks like they are filling NZ screens with some cheap TV running up to Summer). Wow. I thought people were overstating the bad, but no, that's pretty bad.

Current Mood: exhausted
Current Music: Klaxons - It's Not Over Yet

I can watch The Lion King without crying. I'm not sure if this makes me happy or sad.

The same however cannot be said for 'Doomsday.' (OMG Rose! I think I like Martha more now, but oh, Rose! That episode just breaks me every time and the Dalek/Cybermen conversation at the beginning will never stop being awesome).

Jaws? Is actually a surprisingly good movie. (Look Stephen, no crazy over-sentimentality, it works for you). I'd never seen the whole thing before, and I was surprised how much I enjoyed it. It also gave me the weirdest slash vibes, and I'm still not sure why.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch is awesome. I now get why everyone raves about it. John Cameron Mitchell is just amazing.

I seem to be experiencing a ~~New York~~ House renaissance of sorts. (Which admittedly, started three hours ago). I watched a whole slew of House clips (poker scene of love, and wow can RSL and Hugh wear a tux) and spent the last hour and half reading House fic. Weird. Reading that much fic in general is odd for me at the moment, but House fic? I'm now really craving the S2 DVDs I know are on special somewhere. Damn.

I'm also thinking of letting my website float off into the Internet ether. The domain name is up for registration, and I just, don't use it any more. I can't remember the last thing I loaded to it. A mood theme? Maybe a year ago? I can put my vids up somewhere else if I feel like it, and my recs can go on my del.icio.us account. I'm trying to come up with a good reason to keep it, and I just ... can't. I won't have a place to practice the coding I always mean to teach myself? Heh. If I haven't started that now, after having the site for about three years ...

Now, I really should sleep but I've decided it's time for a new layout and mood theme, and I really should not choose those now ... but I am totally going to anyway.

Current Mood: thoughtful

House tonight was really rather awesome. Hugh Laurie + Robert Sean Leonard + John Laroquette = one very entertaining hour of television.

Also, I made some screencaps of 'Godsend' tonight because I find myself without Heroes icons, which is quite a problem. I only ended up making one icon in the end, but I see more in the future. Oh, the cast is pretty. I might even picspam at a later date.

I didn't think I really had a Nathan thing, but I found myself taking rather a lot of screencaps of him. Don't quite know what that's about.

Really should sleep now.

Does anyone know a good way to make my brain shut the hell up? That would be helpful right about now.

Current Mood: aggravated

Jon Stewart + Chocolate + Hugh Laurie = A much improved evening.

I really did enjoy House tonight actually, though Wilson is almost getting annoying and that is just not on.

C4 is now playing The Daily Show at 10pm Tues-Fri, and it's the full US version from earlier that day (NZ time). I, just, love them so much right now. And plus Jon Stewart was interviewing the guy who wrote the latest book on The Supreme Court! And they hassled Scalia at lot!

Yeah, I don't hide the geek any more. Not that I ever did really.

I also want to get the latest two eps of Heroes I've missed, because they sound awesome (especially the most recent one), but our flat internet limit is already over for this month. Damn. Then again, extra gigs aren't that expensive.

Tomorrow has the possibility of sucking really hard. I'm quite resigned to it, really.

ETA: Wow, I used 'really' a lot in this post.

Current Music: Bob Dylan - House of the Rising Sun

I kept meaning to post for the last couple of weeks and just never quite got there. I meant to at least post about the US elections and Rumsfeld's resignation and all sorts of things, because really if I have an obsessive fandom at the moment that's not the Rolling Stones, it's US politics (Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert included), but no, that didn't happen.

I also haven't been watching a lot of TV (as really, there is nothing on here) but I have been reading TWoP re-caps and the like for VMars, Grey's and Studio 60. Not so much BSG (trying to stay kind of spoiler free) and House (really not sure why, it may have to do with the House re-capper). I have been reading posts on the flist though. Supernatural really did eat fandom, huh?

However, the last ep of House involved Hugh Laurie, Robert Sean Leonard and John Laroquette on a road trip!? There is no bad there. I still have ridiculous love for Laroquette's one episode appearance in TWW. Ridiculous love. I may have to watch that ep today.

I usually go for a wander around town on Saturday and track down a coffee, but the weather is a little iffy and I'm already hyper due to the chocolate I had for breakfast (yes, I know, believe me, I know). Honestly Wellington, I love you really, and I don't regret my move for a second, but your climate? Can suck rather hard some days. It's November!

I ended up staying up till 4:30am last night, because this wiki ate my brain. (link via

polonius). It's about tropes used in TV and to some degree anime and it was in turns hilarious and fascinating and I just couldn't stop clicking the links. Damn you internet.

Also due to the internet's wonder I got to see the documentary Jesus Camp last night. Yeah ... I may have yelled at the TV a lot. Just OMGWTF. They're just kids!

Finally, Casino Royale needs to be out here now. 7 December is too far away.
