am back

Back from NZ! Had a fantastic time, many many thanks to arysteia for hosting alasen and I, and to china_shop for hosting a great group of fangirls for get__together.

I jinxed myself. Mentioned to people during the weekend that I must buy a external hard drive, to replace my secondary internal which had been causing me concern. Have come back to a dead drive. Have a backup of it from the beginning of the year, I think, so hopefully there won't be too much lost if I can't get data off it. The tv shows I'd been storing on there have mostly been backed up to dvd, and my pop footage folders(which are the most important things to me on the drive - about 120 gig) hasn't been updated that much this year, and a bunch of what I have downloaded is still on the other drive.

So tired, and while I saw SGA (in fangirl company, which made is always better *g*) on the weekend, still haven't seen any other new episodes of shows. And I have an essay to write by Friday, blergh. Skimmed back to skip=300, but I don't think that's everything since mid last week.

(Sitting in a draft for more than a week) - from Joey's myspace:
And since the Bee is such a hugh success I am hosting the singing bee version in Australia!!! I shoot 8 episodes in oct there so I hope it gets picked up for more !!
Sadly (for me), it's being filmed at Channel 9 in Melbourne.

forgot to mention

It's unlikely that anyone has been trying (fortunately I don't use it that much, plus, been away) but my mobile has been unuseable since last Wednesday, and I'm not sure when I'm gonna have a chance in the next few days to get this sorted out. My switch from Telstra to Virgin has not gone smoothly.
