I very much liked The Closer.

And it had Mallory ;)

The world is going to an end. Today I received the letter telling me my health care card (low income) is coming. Assuming I'll receive the card tomorrow. Usually I get the letter *after* I get the card.

And then there was that time when I received a letter telling me I hadn't put in the renewal application for the card...several weeks after I actually received the new card.

18 days and my Amazon parcel still hasn't arrived. Annoyed. Their speed has decreased in the last year since it was taken off Australia Post and given to a courier type company. Though my brother, who works at the international mail centre, said that Amazon parcels are starting to come through there again.

Amazon parcel turned up. The postmark was from Frankfurt...maybe that's why it took so long.

Can't touch Gilmore Girls or Pretender (Lyyylllle!) till I've done my tropical cyclone forecast (wishing it to fail this year so I don't have to do it again). But have had a flip through Stargate Atlantis: The Official Companion.

And this made me giggle:

David Hewlett talking about Childhood's End: "McKay doesn't seem like the sort of person who would like children. It's everything that he doesn't want. I think he would like a girlfriend, perhaps, but it's all science for him. If Zelenka was a woman, maybe that could work out," he says with a laugh. "But even that would get in the way of his sad little scientific existence!"

Poor FSF. They have bad luck with convention guests.

Chris Judge's replacement, Joe Flanigan, has dropped out because of a film role. He's been replaced by Rainbow Sun Francks (Ford - Stargate Atlantis) and Alexis Cruz (Skaara/Klorel – SG1). And of course still Torri and Julie Caitlin Brown (B5 - whom I saw at my very first convention years ago).

The BoBW con has moved from Canberra to Sydney. Good lineup: Teryl Rothery, David Hewlett, Paul McGillion (Beckett), David Nykl (Zelenka), Colin Cunningham (Major Davis), and Gary Jones (Walter Harriman). But it's the weekend after the FSF, and I really can't justify $250 (or $185 for basic seats, but I don't see any point in coming away from a con without autographs) :(
