Tis the year for hanging things

So for the second time ever we have a drawn premiership and are all heading back to watch the Grand Final replay again next week. I am not entirely convinced my brother-in-law didn't somehow will this so he could make it back from the other side of the planet and watch the game.

The game itself was quite good - I was seriously expecting the Saints to win by a point over the Magpies, as they did in 1966. Both teams seem to be finding this a let down. I dunno, I'm enjoying it immensely.

And the internet (well the AFL-oriented Australian bit at least) is going nuts with hung jokes.

Best quote on the news so far: "It's going to be like the Mardi Gras, but a bit more bogan" - Magpies supporter describing celebrations if the Magpies win.

And on another note, this is seriously going to screw up a lot of uni student's "study" plans - you're supposed to start after the GF is over... heh.

30 days of television: Day 25

Day 25 - A show you plan on watching (old or new)

Hm. Shows that I would like to see in the next couple of months, more so when I finish my assignments.

1. Dollhouse. Dean's been watching it, I've now caught about half of it but have missed important plot points. I do know the ending but I think I need to go back and see the middle.

2. Caprica. Dammit, come back!! I want to know what happens!

3. The Amazing Race, The Amazing Race Australia, The Amazing Race Asia. I'm obsessed OK? Just accept it.

4. Survivor. "Medallion of Poowweerr!!!" It's reminding me of "He-Man" and "She-Ra" cartoons from the '80s.

5. That new show that I can't think of the name of that has the woman who played Roberta Williams in Underbelly in it. It looks interesting but I haven't managed to catch it yet, probably because I can't remember what it's called or when it's on. Or the names of the actors. Not helpful, I know.

6. Community. It keeps being recommended to me, I've seen half of one episode, which looked OK.

7. Matrioshki, parts one and two. I saw about three quarters of part 1 on SBS, and the first couple of episodes of part two. Part of this is to get my brain back into Flemish again as well. And to find out what happened to the guy with the seriously bad haircut.

8. Babylon 5. I have seen all bar two episodes and the telemovies. I also want to see the commentary, although I'd prefer JMS to groups of actors who talk over each other and don't necessarily add anything interesting (I'm looking at you, Doyle). Actually I'd prefer a couple of commentary episodes from set designers and costumers - that would have been interesting.

9. The Number One Ladies Detective Agency. Saw the first episodes in the US; thought the ABC would have screened it by now. Fortunately the DVD is now out. Good effort ABC, sheesh.

10. Wipeout. Because sometimes junk food TV is good to relax with.
