Because my flist isn't long enough this morning (hi, New Who reviews/wank) I was surfing metaquotes and came across this post by sarah_frost where she was doing the "fuck you, she's awesome" meme. And I had to share this line:

I think it has been Unofficial Firefly Moments Week on Australian TV this week. I didn't realise any of the following were coming, or else I would have warned my fellow Australians.

On Sunday, Alan Tudyk was on CSI. Sadly, I only happened to turn the TV on in the closing scenes.

On Thursday at 7.30pm, Morena Baccarin was on How I Met Your ( Read more... )

A Knight's Tale is airing on channel 10 (post-Before the Game in AFL states); H may have had thoughts on my sanity when I looked at it and sobbed out "Wash!"

*goes off to watch Firefly*

Randomly today:

I think I love this 1st grader's design for a NASA rocket. If only... (the comments at Whedonesque are good, too). It's the icon, people! Which I need to re-make when I get home, since I really don't get along well with Irfan ( Read more... )

The last time my mother saw my aunt, she picked up a big bag of Mills & Boon novels to take to the church's Op Shop. I've stalled her on actually taking them anywhere, though, and am working my way through them (or flicking through them rather than proper readings). Because I'm like that. It's like candy -- I know it rots my teeth but I can't ( Read more... )

I just changed from the ABC to the second half of House (Spicks & Specks wins out every time). Episode in question is Euphoria pt 1 and... uh... I think I want to call Foreman "Dr Hibbert".

Sometimes I watch Firefly and can't remember why so much of the Jossverse fandoms hated Joss for making the series.

Then I watch season seven of BtVS.

Poll Randomly, another Doctor Who poll

H is up to The Yoko Factor, and... uhm...

Angel: You think you're gonna stop me?
Riley: I surely do.

You know, Riley really sounded like one Captain Reynolds there. Please stop screwing with my brain, Jossverse.

Random pimping via the_cortex: this picspam comparing Mal and Ten is the BEST THING EVER. Major spoilers for s2 of the new Who and very much not dial-up friendly, but best thing ever. bellanut has out-done herself.

I'm sure that everyone has a film that just is their childhood. One that they watched time and again. I grew up in a world of video tape, and for me that film was the original Star Wars (no episode designation, no "new hope", Star Wars, full stop).

For my mother, in the pre-video tape era, this film was The Sound of Music. She tells stories ( Read more... )
