So... updates... Well in non-dA news, I finally managed to see I am Legend. I thought Will Smith's acting was superb, possibly even better than in Pursuit of Happyness, but I was a little disappointed by the movie as a whole. It sort of just felt frayed around the edges to me, like they had this wonderful character and acting, and a decent story, but that there simply wasn't enough to it. It seemed to lack substance somehow. I enjoyed it, but wished it had simply had more .

In my TV viewing, I am very pleased to see Lost, Spicks and Specks and Good News Week all back on air. In Lost, I was rewarded for my constant (possibly obsessive) considerations and musings over the last number of months. I had predicted that "Jack's father either is, or is in some way connected to, Jacob". I'd written this on a piece of paper before the episode started and tucked it away, only to bring it out and show my Dad when, lo and behold, I was right. Turns out you can figure stuff out on Lost if you just spend enough time obsessing over it. No more Charlie though. Locke's still crazy enough, so that ought to be fun.

The first Spicks and Specks of the year was AWESOME. I'm so glad I didn't miss it. "When I was young, my first pokemon... Of course I was there, I was wearing these... feet". And of course the bass-off at the end was just pure gold. Good News Week had me in absolute stitches as well - I was literally rolling on the floor, bellowing out laughter (how often does that happen?). I've learnt a very important lesson, you see. In order to have high-quality programming, incorporate the following elements. 1) Frank Woodley. 2) Mime. That's it. Nothing else is needed. Just create a show where, for an hour, Frank attempts to mime various amusing scenes. That is the recipe for teh funny. Also, Craig's fantastic line, "I will not be a part of Channel Ten's shameless cross-promotions", was perfect.

Valentines day is approaching, and half of the first-world is shuddering, be it males who have to buy presents, or females who hate the day for its pretension and materialism. I personally am quite indifferent to the event, but take it as a decent oppurtunity/excuse to show affection for my lovely friends (of the fairer sex). I will also be showcasing some of the more beautiful romance-orientated deviations as features.

I'm very impressed by the new capabilities of the Collections functions. For one, it allows me to group works, without neccessary clogging up my favourites. I am also pleased to see you can now comment on others' collections. Feel free to comment on mine (hint hint).

Finally, those of you who live in Brisbane may be interested in checking out the upcoming devmeet, which will be held on the weekend of the 8th/9th of March. For more information go to *brisvegas
