1. I swear I'm going to bed soon. My back's all achy from yoga, even though it was technically a doddle of a class. I'm really soooo not motivated to work these days. I spent ALL DAY watching election coverage on CNN, obviously, and THAT made me happy. But did I work? Noooooooo. Sigh. MOTIVATE ME, GUYS. Or not. :P

2. You know how CNN goes on a MASSIVE FOOTAGE LOOP after a while? The coverage of the actual polling didn't, because stuff kept changing, but once Obama was announced as president, it went into a loop. And I think I must've watched Obama and McCain's speeches quite a few times over. Obama's speech was great, but you know what makes me more than a wee bit weepy? These bits of McCain's speech: when he says, "We fought as hard as we could. And though we fell short, the failure is mine, not yours" and also "This campaign was and will remain the great honour of my life". Awww. :(

3. Also, Proposition 8. WTF, California, WTF. Talk about a reality crash-landing.

4. Okay, no more political blather. Let's have some FLAIL instead. Everyone needs to read this parody of Mamma Mia (the movie), because it is freakin' HILARIOUS, ZOMG. I could easily quote it all day long! Sample:

PIERCE BROSNAN Meryl, you should stop your daughter from getting married. Also, I love you. MERYL STREEP Oh shit, you’re going to sing again aren’t you. PIERCE BROSNAN Yep. (sings) So when you’re near me, darling can’t you hear me, SOS. I literally couldn’t sound less like a human if I tried, SOS. <-- LMAO, FAVOURITE!!!!!!!! MERYL STREEP Oh Pierce. I love you too. (pause) Except I hate you. Asshole. PIERCE BROSNAN This runs in the family, doesn’t it? Isn’t there a psychiatrist on this island anywhere?

5. Whoa, guys. We have an Elphaba for January 2009. She's a TV star... and has also been in Disaster Movie and Meet The Spartans. UM WUT. That is hardly a reassuring set of credentials. *cries* What if she can't sing? She needs to belt the roof off the Gershwin, ARGH.

6. Errrr... at least Ms Murney is keeping busy? I want to go for this Nov 17 Town Hall concert, argh. UNPLUGGED. Julia is awesome unplugged. As is Jeff McCarthy, who is ALSO in the cast. EEEEK. Also, this is my new favourite picture.

7. Finished tracking my Lee Hom audio! :D ( music man )

8. Why so much flail today, world? Clearly I am NOT AT ALL EXCITED ABOUT House/Cuddy spoilers of AWESOME. And how adorable are these photos of the 100th episode party, hmmm? Lisa + cake + Jesse = OT3, y/y? ♥

9. MOAR COMMENTS TO BE ANSWERED TOMORROW. BEDTIME NOOOOW.

A LITTLE HOUSE/CUDDY-RELATED PIMPING: speckleberry has started a House/Cuddy Drabble-a-thon at her community, which looks set to be lots of fun. I expect this is where any spare capacity I have for flailage will go for the next couple of weeks. It's been a month since I've written any proper fic, so this is just the thing to get me warmed up again before we get new episodes. :)

In fact, I've already drabbled! - first light


Also, meme - I was tagged by lissie_pissie!

Each blogger starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
* Bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
* At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.

01. I think I am genetically encoded to be a night person. If left to my own devices (i.e., if I didn't have to work), I'd ideally sleep at 4-6am in the morning and get up at 2-3pm in the afternoon. Seriously - dark-time is the best time for me. I HATE MORNINGS.

02. I'm also a terribly inconsiderate driver. I HATE SLOW DRIVERS WITH A FLAMING PASSION, and honk at them if they're not going fast enough for my liking - which is unfair, since I am usually breaking the speed limit. (60km/h?! WTH kind of speed limit is that?) One day I will get into an accident. I know this and yet I continue to drive like a raving lunatic.

03. In pretty much all the shows I've loved, I've always shipped canon. (I'm easy that way.) The exceptions being CJ/Toby on The West Wing and Ned/Olive on Pushing Daisies - though I'm not sure if I want Ned to actually be WITH Olive, so I don't know if that counts. (BTW, House/Cuddy is SO CANON. We are just waiting for our ship to get canon-ER, if you please.)

04. When I was a kid, I used to bring at least two books out with me everywhere I went, just in case I ran out of stuff to read and got totally bored with the company I was keeping. Even if there was no chance in hell that I'd finish the book I was reading at the time. Without fail - sometimes, three or four books. I'm more realistic these days, but have to have something with me to read all the time.

05. I have this thing for awesomely spunky, kickass female actresses, all of whom I'm still hoping to grow up to be. Lisa Edelstein, obviously, is one. But I've also fangirled GILLIAN ANDERSON, Allison Janney, Meryl Streep, Lauren Graham, Cate Blanchett, Megan Mullally, Felicity Huffman... the list goes on and on and on.

06.  Wackiest and worst thing I've ever done for work? Stay awake for 36.5 hours straight, 22 of which were spent at work. A weekend I will never forget, as I was out for dinner before going to see Enchanted, and was told to get my butt back to work. Got there at almost 9pm Satuday night, and stayed 'til almost 7pm the next night. WIN? NO. VERY MUCH LOSE.

07. OMG. So Idina's official site was revamped today. I HAVE NOT STOPPED LISTENING TO THE THREE SONGS ON THE MEDIA PLAYER - THEY HAVE BEEN PLAYING ON A LOOP FOR THE LAST FOUR HOURS. I need help.

08. I watched 101 movies last year! 92 of which I saw in the cinema. I'm doing well on the list this year - I'm already at 12 movies and there'll be many more to come this month alone... :)

Tagging: mostly new friends made through the recent XF and House friending memes. angiescully, ashley_west, athenaraven, book232, doctors_girl, emotikka, medland, wanderlonely - but really, all you new AND old folks should play. Always happy to learn random facts about the people on my flist! :)

MAN. I'm, like, totally functioning on three hours of sleep (not just yesterday but every day this week, thanks to the massive amounts of flail I've been engaging in), and I'm so sleepy right now. But I HAVE TO FLAIL. Even if 90% of my flist doesn't understand the object of the flailage! ;)

First things first, welcome also to hazz23, scullybabe626, wildcatlizzie, teh_maskmaid and so_vieh! COME FLAIL OFTEN. I PROMISE I WON'T BITE AND WILL HAPPILY FLAIL BACK - ALL IN CAPSLOCK TOO. ;)

Second things next: nitsa_maro pointed out that I am made of EPIC FAIL - I totally forgot to mention in my last flaily post ANOTHER reason for massive amounts of flailing this year - which is, obviously, that LISA EDELSTEIN SIGNED TO DO A MOVIE WITH LIFETIME WHICH IS DUE OUT IN DECEMBER, NEWS WHICH TOTALLY MADE MY LIFE HAI. The only thing that could make me happier at this point if we were told that either Hugh or Lisa had a cameo role in TXF2, LOL.

And, third things last: went for one of possibly the best concerts I've ever been to in my life, EVER. (And yes, there are two 'ever's in that sentence. IT WAS THAT GOOD.) I don't think I could adequately express the amount of sheer squee that exploded out of me during Jay Chou's concert here tonight. It was just... made of so much WIN.


In other news, the not-quite-sore-throat I've been nursing for the last couple of days looks set to become something considerably worse, very soon. Sigh. Not fun. Also, watched Cloverfield (not bad), and will be watching The Savages tomorrow. NOT TO MENTION GOING FOR JAY CHOU'S SECOND SHOW HERE. I AM SO OBSESSED = FTW!!

And now it's 5.20am, OMG. I NEED TO BE GOING TO BED, YES?!
