I'm having troubles with my laptop at the moment. Need-to-get-parts-from-the-eastern-states-shipped-in-troubles.
1. I really, really enjoyed the latest episode of Veronica Mars. How could I not when it proved that I have amazing psychic powers.
( Spoilers )
2. Studio 60 was canceled, Friday Night Lights got a second season. I'm pretty happy about both of those decisions. I really wanted Studio 60 to be great and it wasn't so I'm more sad about the wasted potential.
3. I've been watching the new season of Doctor Who and it is fabulous. I miss Rose a lot but Martha has been pretty decent so far. David Tennant just gets more and more attractive. Picspam coming when I don't have a 2,500 word essay due.
4. Sunday was Mother's Day so my best wishes to all the fantastic mums on my flist. I had to work on that day and spent more time with other people's mums than my own, but I made up for it last night by cooking dinner and making a Chocolate Honeycomb Cheesecake.
I got my own brilliant mum seasons 1 of SeaChange, an Australian TV show that we all adore. I had forgotten just how wonderful it is - unassuming and unpretentious and full of great characters and actors (including David Wenham before he went on to play Faramir in Lord of the Rings).
5. Sunday also so the airing of the Eurovision Song Contest and it was completely insane in a fantastic way. I just love Eurovision because it is just so silly and yet all the performers are so committed; besides, we must stay on the lookout for the next ABBA. My favourite countries from this year's were France, Spain, Ukraine, Georgia, Sweden and Russia. I was really disappointed by both Ireland and the UK.
Apparently, Working Title is going to make a film about Eurovision which is very cool, but I'd rather see a documentary as the reality is far more awesome than any fiction could be. Either way, I hope they get Terry Wogan involved somehow as his commentary always amuses me.
