Cooked, feasted, did the dishes, processed data, began again.


Cheering: My Newcastle Knights making Henny Penny outta the hapless Sydney Roosters!

Listening: "The End Of Life" (2008) by UnSun. Another LA special. Driving, femme-fronted metal originating from Poland. Gets better with each spin.

Reading: Paused "T/C/L" to zip thru the comics "Buffy The Vampire Slayer - Time Of Your Life" (season eight, volume four) and "Hikaru No Go #15". Minor spoilers! Must admit Ms Summers teaming/tussling with her 23rd-century equivalent Fray wowed me less than the ghost Sai's disappearance and Hikaru's terrible decision. But H. blitzing the No. 1 Go amateur like that was a stride towards the "divine move".

Watching: "Joanna Lumley In The Land Of The Northern Lights" (2008). Promo disc from my TV columnist bud DL (it'll be broadcast on BBC HD on June 28). No host embodies grace and charm like La Lumley and her tour of Norway, seeking a glimpse of the aurora borealis that's fascinated her since childhood, is absolutely captivating. I think she surpasses even Michael Palin at this sorta caper and wish she'd film more.
