So I've had a a whole lot of this seasons NCIS sitting on my DVR and I was catching up on a few today. And in all these episodes Vance and Gibbs keep giving each other these long, considered glances. And I suspect it's supposed to be them sizing each other up and being all manly and challenging, but after the third episode in a row of this ( Read more... )

 Dear Google Maps,

I've not been very kind to you in the past. Oh, sure, you're a useful tool for looking up places I need to go, but, quite frankly, I find your city walking view disquieting to say the least. I don't like the idea that weirdo's all over the internet can see what my house looks like.
It was probably unfair of me to call you a creeper ( Read more... )

I just picked up Issue #414 of the Doctor Who mag. This was a foolish, foolish move on my behalf ( Read more... )

 Met Mum is the city today after classes to catch a movie. Saw 'Inglorious Basterds' which wasn't a bad film and actually inspired some interesting conversation in the car (and my mothers sudden realisation that she's more Austrian than she'd ever noticed since she counts with her thumb... seriously... watch the movie, you'll get the reference then ( Read more... )

Looking at those new spoilers for the next Doctor Who specials, it's quite possible my brain melted out of my ear from awesome.

That is all.

Oh yes. And Happy Planet of the Dead Day  Easter weekend everybody.

It was actually the ending of Forest of the Dead that caused me the most consternation of any scene in season 4 (well, discounting Journey’s End, because, really, that’s a whole barrel full of monkeys that my mind doesn’t want to unpack).

( Cut because of some philosophical musing on River Song's fate... are we still cutting for season 4?... oh well, just in case )

Sorry about the spammy posting but I am so happy. They've finally set an Australian release date for the First Season Box Set of the Sarah Jane Adventures ( Read more... )

No. Seriously. I work in a shop, I know auto-stocker technology is out to get us all. I see it every day (or at least twice a week...) when we get orders in, and we always get in 6 cartoon's of the cigeretts we have too many of and none of the ones we need.
And normaly I'm okay with that, because it's just smokers, right? Who cares if smokers can't ( Read more... )

So, I'm sitting here wondering if I should blow $600 on two tickets for this Peter Davison thing in March (I say $600 because I'm too much of a wimp to go on my own and I'd have to buy a ticket for my mum as well).
I have reservations, mainly because it seems like it's a super creepy thing to do. I've mentioned once of twice that there are a few ( Read more... )

In the car on the way home I was explaining to my parents that I would be working the Monday, Australia Day public holiday that's coming up.

Dad: Oh, thats good, that'll be a bit of extra money and you should have enough to buy your Mac now.
Me: Oh no, not really, not yet. Still a while to go on that front.
Dad: How do you not have enough put aside ( Read more... )
