I didn't see every episode of Sideshow when it was originally on the air (dad almost got us tickets but that's a whole other frustrating story), and so only just found this segment on youtube. Gleeeee. Magic, men holding hands, blindfold jokes, and angry/amused/giggly Paul. He's having so much fun! The adorableness just won't quit.



I officially have a first chapter of my novella, and my outline. Due first thing tomorrow, wooo. Then another thing due Wednesday, and so on and so forth. Ugh. Can't wait to sleep in a few weeks. Also apply for jobs. Knowing my luck, I'll send out a resume the first day after uni, and get the job that afternoon. DNW. I like being pathetic and unemployed, damn it. Er, well. I like not freaking out about having to deal with assholes/people. Can I be a dog walker?

GNW squee as always. )

I won a Dog (Footrot Flats) plushie on eBay! *gleeee* You may now all feel jealous.

It was actually a struggle to find people to come to Good News Week today. I mean, hi, free spare tickets to a tv show taping with a bunch of pretty funny people? No takers? In the end my mum tagged along hehe. I'm ever so proud that she didn't stand up and loudly protest at the rude jokes.

Taping squee and assignment panic, as usual. )

Can someone explain to me the reasoning behind that Adam Lambert photo shoot where they have him posing with a naked woman? Would it not have made more sense to have him pose with a naked man? Or, like, maybe even both, I guess, but... Did he not just recently announce he was out and proud and awesome, which most people seemed quite overjoyed about, and also evidentially he has an adorable adorable boyfriend... Soooo, they do a photo shoot with him being all sexy with a woman? I get that it's just a photo shoot, and I think he talks about how he thinks women are sexy and whatnot in the related interview, but... idk, isn't it a bit random? Could we not have embraced the whole thing and had a sexy m/m photo shoot?

I am not at all self-serving in this request. Lol no, really. I'm just... bzuh? I admittedly know very very little about this however, so I shall be quiet now. I'm totally doing uni work. I'm so very behind all of a sudden.

Good News Week tomorrow :) I so do not have time to go, blech, and am starting to feel weird about going so much! Buuut I really want to see two of the announced guests for tomorrow, and I just know if I don't use the other ticket, there'll be singing and dancing or something, so. Only a few more shows for the year anyway, I shall hoard the experiences while I can, and remember them fondly while I'm busy with 8000 assignments next year.

And also, That Ross Noble/Paul McDermott kiss... )

Not-at-all-productive things I did today:
- watched youtube clips of border collies 'talking'
- watched youtube clips of pet foxes
- played something incredibly boring yet addictive on the Wii
- chased the cat around the house
- searched for houses with big backyards with online real estate sites
- pondered the possibilities of DomLijah. Just because.

Things I should have been doing:
- cleaning my room
- coming up with one page/first page of my novella. This is due tomorrow. I think.
- not naming and daydreaming about hypothetical dogs. (Pippin is still the winning name.)

Also, my nearly-sixteen-year-old brother is apparently incapable of turning the chicken and waiting for it to cook without my supervision. If I didn't want Pokemon Snap on the Wii so badly, he'd not be getting a birthday present, damn it.

A few happy things about GNW, of course. )

Eww, university tomorrow. It's my least favourite day of the week lol; the one with all the ridiculous group activities and forced socialization. I just want to be a hermit, damn it ):

But look look look, fun GNW videos.

(Also. I am officially planning to indulge in Doctor Who and Torchwood during the holidays, and will probably be a hermit over the long horrible summer period. Please say there's lots of snow in these shows?)

I should be doing readings right now. )

Slept on the couch yet again. Becoming quite sleep deprived. Especially as the household kept me up til 2am this morning, and later admitted to thinking the drunkest member should maybe drive home. And now they're mad at me for not thinking their antics are hilarious. Do I really have to be the adult one around people in their 40s? I really am Saffy.

Had dad's house to myself on Saturday night, so curled up in front of their huge flatscreen TV and watched The Emperor's New Groove and the DAAS DVD. Tim and Paul are ridiculous, seriously. So smiley and touchy-feely and in love. Also GNW on the big screen is so prettyyy. I love the Saturday replays :) When dad and his partner got home, she saw the DAAS DVD and was all, omg! I remember them! They were on that Big Gig thing! Hehe yeees.

Aaaand uni tomorrow Wednesday! Yay for cancellations! But sigh. My break went past so quickly! Though I'm not even feeling very rushed; most of my assignments are out of the way, and 2/3 of the ones left are fun writey ones :)

... I need to stop chewing on my sleeve.

Righteo, tonight's GNW squee. )

We have a friend from the UK staying with us, so I am about to embark upon a month of sharing my room with my mother, and sleeping on a mattress that is clearly the spawn of Satan. \o/

And of course just missed most of GNW because, I adore them, obviously, but mum and said UK friend are the loudest people in the entire universe. I did enjoy the promo before hand which featured everyone on stage near the camera, with Paul shouldering Mikey and announcing that it's what goes on beneath the desks that is important. Oh really? And also, 'Don't make me come in there and getcha! *clawy hands* Raaawwr...' ... *squees quietly*

I did see... )

Spent the day on my hands and knees, weeding the courtyard with my brother and cousin. Oi. Bloody cold outside, also, and I was wearing my daggy (and rather short) shorts, so I think most of me is numb, especially my fingers. Ouch.

Also went for a walk with said companions to fetch chips and ice cream, so I'm hoping all the physical activity cancels out the junk food ;)

Enjoying the Ninja Turtles right now. I watched SPN 5x03, moaned about brothers, then re-watched the 2007 TMNT movie: lol omg, brotherly angst, it is rampant in my fandoms. (Well, if they aren't just out-and-out gay, and Supernatural is a delightful mix.) I may need to dig out my new toon dvds and squee over protective!Raph and adorable!Donnie.

But for tonight, In Bruges again, with friends :) Yay!

Hee, my heart. From a TV Week interview with Paul:

Who's your celebrity crush?
Mikey Robins. Don't tell him, though! Don't let the world know! Don't let the werewolves share our love - that would be wrong. Also, that chick on the show would probably get upset.

Idk, is he going on about Twilight? But eheheh. Paulie, your love for Mikey has not been kept a secret, particularly not recently.

Anyway, I've sunk to a new low and have been writing Mikey and Paul schmoop all week (and also Ninja Turtles! 12 pages, bow to my productivity), so now that is done with, it is time to start on major assignments.

Oh oh, and saw Lisa Mitchell last night; she is adorable.

So hey, Kanye? Classy! Haha, what the Hell was that?

I'll be honest and say that I think that particular film clip of hers is ridiculous. I thought it was cute up until the ending. Seriously, great message there. (I have similar complaints for 10 Inch Hero. Really. What?) But that was like watching Kanye stomp up and down on a tiny happy friendly puppy! Andrew G has been taken down from the top of my list of 'Yay, We Have No Class' people.

But yay for Green Day! :D

I love Sheldon. He appeared to be broken in the episode on before GNW. Oh Sheldon.

Freaking out, freaking outfreakingout. Once this is finished, I'm done with most of the horrible horrible assignments for the year, thank God, but it may involve some heavy public humiliation before I get to that stage, and uuuurgh.

In which I use Twilight in a university tutorial for the greater good: )

Thoughts:

1) Lisa Mitchell is adorable. I kinda wanna go see her when she's at uni later this month. I keep watching the Coin Laundry clip, over and over.

2) There's a full orchestra at Jerry Lewis. And being in the same room as Paul, I'd say there's a chance he shall siiiiiiing. :D (Mayhaps with Mikey? They need to sing My Shadow and Me so I can cry happily in my seat.)

3) 'Wedding Spell' from the Witches of Eastwick OST is basically 3 minutes of Paul moaning/shrieking in pain lol. Also throaty growly sweary Paul! I enjoy this. (Ugh, I turned down tickets to thiiiis...)

4) These images of Jared and Jensen, and Green Day. )

5) Back to study (and er not drabbles at all)

Essay: Almost done...! Editing: ... ehhh, more or less done! Yay! *dances*

I see that Mr Timmy Ferguson is teaching a Writing for Comedy course down in Melbourne next month... Ahhhhh I would have been so tempted to sign on to that. It's only like, four lectures, each held on consecutive weekends... On the one hand, I need to not go completely bankrupt and I suspect this would have meant that. I also would have never slept, basically. But but but ahhhhh. *goes back to editing bitterly*

... Could Paul McDermott run a creative writing course? Please?

But anyway, quickly, GNW squee. )

Summer is approaching. ): Nooo, run awaaay. Thinking back to the joy of last summer; of getting out of a cold shower and promptly beginning to sweat once again. I like one thing about summer; sitting outside at 7/8 pm when it's still light and halfway to being a decent temperature, when there's a nice breeze and a barbecue sizzling away happily.

That is it. There is nothing else pleasant about an Australian summer.

Ugh, I am stressing the hell ooout. Whine, whine. )

But huzzah for de-stress in the form of GNW )
