OK GO has just joined the list of bands that I have known about since forever ago but only recently realised were AWESOME. Like, I saw that treadmill video back when I used to watch Triple J tv religiously, and they showed it every week for all of 2007, but whatever. OK GO = awesome. There's A Fire has been stuck in my head for the past week. Get Over It is also really good.
I've been waiting patiently for the second half of season one White Collar to air (this Friday, 10 pm Channel Ten!) but then the secrets of the internet were revealed to me. Downloading episodes! I couldn't resist. Episode 8, Hard Sell, is classic White Collar. *happy sigh* Neal being stupid, Peter being protective. El just patiently allowing a bunch of FBI agents into her house and making them coffee in the middle of the night. Near death experiences! What I thought was dodgy science, but wasn't really! (They kept saying that all the air was sucked out of the room Peter and Neal get caught in, and I thought that meant they were going to die from the pressure, not from lack of air to breath in. I realised on second viewing that they meant all the oxygen, not the air. Well, that makes more sense.) It wouldn't have even mattered if it were dodgy science, cause it meant they had to share a life-saving breathing stick thing! Which Neal ~nobly~ gives to Peter, and then runs around looking for the killswitch until he faints. Cue Peter looking confused, scared and protective to the MAX, omg. Protective!Peter is my favourite, can you tell?
I watched Merlin 2.1, which was amusing but not amazing- basically as usual. I don't know, I've waited ages, it still isn't being aired on Channel Ten yet. I know the f-list said that season two is quite patchy compared to season one. I don't like OOC Arthur. Why has he gone back to the Arthur from the beginning of season one? Arthur/Gwen is adorable, but it comes a little left of field? (well, not quite so if you consider the original story, but within this series' canon, I think it does.) I think the episode was redeemed by Colin Morgan. He wasn't wearing his (hipster, anachronistic) neckerchief, which meant a lot more screen time for his collarbones. Also, Merlin waking up and wondering around looking confused, complete with bed hair. *g *...I may be watching this show for all the wrong reasons.

So, SPORTS. (one of the few times you'll see me talking about it here, to be honest.) HOW AWESOME ARE THE WINTER OLYMPICS? It's so hardcore! The skeleton sled thing? Craaaazy. They're going faster than the highway speed limit. And they're just a human, on a sled, going down a chute of ice at 140 km/h. What. The Hell. Also, also. How cool do the half pipe snowboaders look? No spandex for them! Oh, and an Aussie Gold Medal. \o/ Go Torah Bright! Also, LOL at the American uniforms. Jean-like pants and plaid flannel shirts? Oh, and while I'm talking about uniforms, have you seen the Norwegian Curling team's pants? Curling's such a weird sport, isn't it? It's like bocce, ON ICE. With brooms!
Oh, and after all the fast and dangerous sports (disregarding curling, lol) you get figure skating. Which, while being fast and dangerous to an extent, are just so different to the rest of the sports. Grace! Feathers! Dancing! And then you get fricken' Johnny Weir. Johnny Weir is like, the ultimate fandom character. Glittery, flamboyant and fey! He's like the Adam Lambert of the ice. This wasn't at the Olympics, but still: ICE SKATING TO LADY GAGA. The temptation to call him Johnny Weirdo is high, and I don't even feel like it would be an insult.
So yeah, the Olympics. I'm not even that invested in Australia, because hey, 2 medals. But it's still fun to watch. I'll cheer on Canada. Canadians are kind of adorable anyway.
This isn't about the Olympics, and I don't even know how I found this page, but Nadal+Federer.
Interviewer: Who is your favorite professional women's tennis player?
Rafa: My favorite .. right now is Federer, no? Because he is a perfect tennis player.
Interviewer: Is... Roger Federer?
Rafa: Yeah.
Interviewer: Uh huh, what about in the women's side?
Rafa: Well I'm not, um, watching a lot of women... women tennis.
Oh, Rafa. Ahahaha. Roger is so grate, can't you see??

DOCTOR WHO.
OH MY GOD.
TONIGHT'S THE NIGHT.
*flails* No more David Tennant! The Eleventh Doctor! I don't know how I feel about all this! ABC is running season 4 parallel to the new episodes, so we're getting it all out of order. That means that tonight we're going to see Ten regenerate, and then tomorrow, we're going to see Ten fake!regenerating (I assume) in Journey's End. It was the same way where we saw Ianto die on day 4, and then a few weeks later we saw running around on the Stolen Earth. Emotional whiplash, much?
Oh, oh. I'd forgotten about the Master Race! (I don't know if that's crass? It kind of sounds it, idk) But still. 50 different Masters gleefully jumping up and down and clapping like Teletubbies is definitely an amusing sight. And John Simm cross-dressing? Ahahahaha. That scene, with the Master and the Doctor? Intense.
I'm really bad at ending posts. Gotta go and be productive. It's a foreign concept.
