18 May 07 - 22:45The Sarah Connor Chronicles
wow - it looks like there will be a Terminator spin-off series called the
Sarah Connor Chronicles. It'll likely be either really good, or really, really awful.

14 May 07 - 13:53Serbia wins Eurovision!
We did the usual thing of having pizza and watching Eurovision on
SBS last night.
In a result that was almost as cool as last year's victory by Finnish hard rock group
Lordi,
Marija Serifovic from Serbia won the competition with her power ballad
Molitva.
Marija and gal-pals bring lesbian chic to Eurovision.

Aside from the total coolness of Marija's act, it was also a really strong song.
I think I'll have to make time to write a little more on Eurovision later...
UPDATE:
Sarah Warn blogs about Marija's victory at
After Ellen.

09 May 07 - 13:07The Fantasy Novelist's exam
Well, I'm stuck at home after spending a lot of this morning hurling my guts up, so as I'm not fit for anything else at the moment, I have been wasting time reading people's blogs.
Check out the
The Fantasy Novelist's Exam (via
John Birmingham). I reckon this would clear out 2/3rds of the books in the SF and Fantasy section at Borders if it was made compulsory.
