I don't know why I'm still sitting at my computer after midnight, or why I thought now was a good time to update, but anyway. I should really be sleeping, as I really need to get some things done at work tomorrow. Honestly. It's insane. So much to do and I'm procrastinating like hell, which is just going to backfire in the end, but I can't seem to stop.

All in all its been a bit of frustrating day, but I came home to ice-cream, beer and a pretty awesome Daily Show, and that's helped a little bit. What's really going to help, is actually getting stuff done tomorrow, and trying to stop obsessing about things that are really out of my control and just need to be let to be what they are, whatever that is.

The first Big Day Out announcement was today, and it's going to a pretty weird show. Rage Against the Machine, Bjork and Arcade Fire are headlining so far, with other bands like Shihad, LCD Soundsystem (who I wouldn't mind hearing some more of), The Phoenix Foundation and The Clean. I think I'll probably go (I have a friend who literally jumped up and down when she heard Bjork was coming, and another with whom I've gone to the last two with and it's been awesome), and Arcade Fire would be very cool to see. I'm sure there will be other bands worth seeing, but my initial reaction isn't,'OMG must go!'

Also considering bandom's size, I thought the Wikipedia entries on the bands' members would be more stunningly comprehensive ... not that I was looking them up or anything you understand. I can't help if I'm curious. ;)

So, I did end up taking the day off. Spent it mostly in bed, watching MASH or surfing the 'net (which included crying caused by MASH wikipedia articles. No, really). To be honest, I probably could have gone to work, I didn't feel completely horrible, but the day off has probably helped.

I also, you'll be thrilled to know, think I may have settled on Google Reader as my RSS feed reader. I've been looking around, and I do like that Google Reader is web-based so I can access it at home and ... other places, and I do read so many blogs, and forget ones that I mean to go back to, that I think a feed reader is probably a good idea. (Note: I have said this before).

Anyway, due to feed adding I ended up all over the net reading, including some fannish stuff:

Dr Who in time freeze for a year. Thankfully, they're talking about after S4 not S3, but that is interesting. Tennant and Davies can't go on forever, and who knows maybe it will just let them re-charge or something. And three specials is still something.

Also, David Tennant is going to play Hamlet for the RSC. Dude! That would rock! I think the chances of coercing them over this side of the world two years in a row is ... unlikely. Damn.

The ad that goes with that article is rather amusing. Cheap shot, but amusing. I also like how they've left question marks for the end of his tenure.

Hugh Laurie almost chosen to host the Emmys

That? Also would have rocked! Damn you, Fox. Though saying that, I am inclined to agree with one of the commenters that Hugh probably would have turned it down. Awesome as it would be, I can't really see him saying yes.

And no, I have no idea why I am obsessing about the Emmys host. I do understand why Fox chose Ryan Seacrest, annoying as I find him, and to be honest, I'm not even sure I'll watch this year (note: I have also said this before). Also, chances are NZ TV won't have it on anyway.
