Do you know what the problem with political jokes is?
... they keep getting elected.
(Sorry. I couldn't resist.)
Why is the internet sick?! First facebook was playing up like a mofo, and now my livejournal notifications seem to be on an eight hour time lag (if I get them at all) and I can't access clips on TDS or TCR and I DO NOT LIKE IT.
If the interwebs have finally decided to pull Matrix on us and declare war on the human race I would just like to put it out there that this week isn't really convenient for me.
Could we reschedule for the 28th, maybe? Or next month?
I saw Coraline this week with an animation-nut, and I thought it was sweet and visually gorgeous though perhaps a little slow. We both came away slightly unsatisfied in the sense that he found the animation a little too polished, not with the same stop-motion charm of Nightmare Before Christmas, and I was longing for a little more creepy Gaiman bite. Though I couldn't but adore the fact there was a character called Why-Be-Born...Wybie was sweet, and the plight of him and of Other-Wybie were probably the only parts I really empathised with...
I also really, really want to see Inglourious Basterds. It's disturbing how much fun that film looks.
And, in other news, the Ashes drags on and now I can't get control of the TV ever, since apparently Australia is resurging or something. Gah. All I can make out is that some of the English bowlers are cute and the SBS coverage would be crap without Stuart Macgill flirting with the camera and his co-hosts incessantly.

We must curl up in a corner together and weep for our lost interwebs. *pets*

Re: cute English bowlers - you perhaps mean two of these guys? (L-R: Jimmy Anderson, Stuart Broad and batsmen Alastair Cook)
Bonus Video. (Note the part where Stuart and Alastair appear to check each other out. There's a reason why I ship them so hard.)
Predominantly this one, I would hope. (Stuart)
And for fun, here's my two favourite England players being excited together: (Stuart and Alastair)
(We won't actually talk about how the cricket is going right now. Because, although I'm pleased that my Alastair isn't being shit at the moment, England are sucking too hard and Australia are swaggering too much. Good to hear that Stuart MacGill has gone into punditry, though, I always liked him more than Fatty Twatty Warne. Who I have to put up with on Sky over here. *grumbles*)

OH THE PRETTY PICSPAM!
Yeah, Stuart Broad was one of the pretties. And a guy called Harmison, because I thought he looked huggable like a teddy bear.
And Flintoff, because he is a teddy bear too and hugs/gropes all his fellow players in a delightful way. Except I didn't see him yesterday... why wasn't he bowling?
MacGill is adorable to the max. He keeps saying things like "you look wonderful in glasses, Mo" *flirty smile* or "That beautiful man!" when someone does something awesome. Also, the old guy he calls "Mo" keeps fighting with Damien Martin about whether NSW or WA has better cricket... well, everything.
(After playing and interview with Stuart Clarke)
Stuart: Ok, Mo, I know he plays for Sydney uni but you're not allowed to mention that. Psst! No! Stop!
Damien: Don't pretend like you care. *pouts*
Stuart: I care, Damien, I care about you both very deeply... *leans over and pets on the shoulder*
It's slashtastic.
