Without these numbers, Peter Snow's Swingometer just wouldn't swing

So I'm sitting watching the election news at the moment. The best thing about having a widescreen display on my laptop (apart from being able to watch wide-screen films/TV) is that I can see loads of different windows at once so I can type this, watch the news, see my f-list and play with the swingometer all at the same time.

ETA: Link nicked off jenoofer - Livejournal of the last Dalek. Hilarious. (Spoilers of course for the last Doctor Who episode.)

Nice to see the Monster Raving Loony Party getting some votes...

Serenity - Firefly Convention

So, the weekend. Definitely the best convention yet (out of the three I've been to!)! I met up with niannah, emony, maryavatar and naughtyelf. Checking into the hotel on Friday was rather farcical - we had to wait about four hours and then they'd still messed up our rooms! Me and Niannah ended up having to share a double bed. On Saturday morning we had to queue for forty minutes for breakfast! Rubbish. There were so many different queues over the weekend that I decided that I should become a queue spotter and possibly write a book called Queues I Have Seen.

The guests were all amazing. Nathan Fillion was as fabulous as he was last year. Summer Glau, Jewel Staite, Morena Baccarin and Alan Tudyk were all confirmed beforehand. Ron Glass and Mark Sheppard (Badger) came to fill in for Adam Baldwin who cancelled a week before because of filming. And the final guest was Chris Buchanan who was the producer of Serenity - he had a lot of interesting stuff to say, none of which I can remember I'm sure! ( random con ramblings )

Anyway, it was very very cool and I just can't wait for the film to come out (first week of October for us UK folk). I think we'll definitely be heading to Serenity Squared in November!

Boris Johnson is crazy. <3
