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*

The Bad:

I was feeling bleh all day, and not in the 'wow, I should have slept more sense' but in the 'I think I'm getting sick' sense.

My iPod totally froze on me today. I had to wait till the battery died and I'm recharging it now and it seems to be okay but ... meeep. *holds it close*

The news about Richard Hammond which totally knocked me for six this morning. I hope he pulls through (and reading the updated story now, I see he is improving, which is awesome) and I really feel for his family. Gah.

I missed Dr. Who tonight.

I really have no courage to speak of.

The Good:

I had a really nice dinner out at a Mexican restaurant with my aunt, uncle and three cousins I don't see that often. It was pretty awesome and I had half a bottle of wine, which was kinda nice. I don't usually like wine but this was really easy to drink. Mmm. I've drunk so much more since I moved here.

The Harry Reid and Richard Durbin comedy show in the US Senate. Awesome.

I had a very nice night yesterday. My friends had a bbq and there was salmon and beer (thank you, fomer job) and catching up with people I haven't seen in ages. It was a wonderful night actually. Just, low-key and a lot of fun.

Today I got up and walked to my computer and I haven't really left yet. *sheepish look* However, I'm thinking I might go for a walk since the sun is out. I just hope it stays like this for tomorrow as we're supposed to be going for a picnic of sorts but I don't know if I like our chances.

Anyway, I can't see me posting again before tomorrow, so I'll take this opportunity to wish everyone a wonderful holiday season, whatever you do (or don't) celebrate. You guys are wonderful. <3

I didn't participate in yuletide this year, for mostly pretty stupid reasons, but I can't wait for the archive to open. So much good fic. Last year's rocked and I'm sure this year's will be just as good, if not better.

And, just because. I love my iPod.
