    Put me down for Elle MacPherson

    Okay. On Elle's behalf, you're ugly and your mother dresses you funny.

    What about Daniel Craig and that Welsh Eoin Whathisname from all those BBC sailing dramas?

    Gruffudd. Not that I knew who you meant right away, of course.

    Daniel Craig is a bit blond.

    Def not Hugh or Colin.

    Spike or Angel? (Of course we were going there, it was only a matter of time.)

    Until you remember the scene where Mal meets her, or the "twixt" line from the movie.

    Being a bit slutty does not at all stop her from being nice.

    during "secret admirer week"

    This just sounds like 'stalking is okay' week.

    A guy once discreetly slipped me his phone number on a serviette in a bar once. I was just totally confused - why was he giving me a serviette?

    I bet you do (boom boom). But seriously, the answer's Kaylee right?

    Kaylee's sweet. So no. She's just too nice for me.

    What, was the third one out of tune?

    Nah, he was just too nice for me. The whole thing was his idea.

    Couple this with the premise that porn does the same for men... and we're doomed I tell you, DOOMED!

    Oh, give the man the subtext-spotting pony! And yes, my entire argument still applies.

    What do you mean, Colin Firth or Hugh Grant?

    That's what we like to see: outside the box thinking. Me, I struggle with 'Mal or Inara'.

  • Field Theory: The Magnificent Sevens and…,

    Once again cricket will take it's rightful place behind rugby, it had a good three months at the number one slot and now it's back to being the "other sport".

    This kind of thing is why you have the flu, you know.

  • Hard News: A Full Sense of Nationhood,

    Is Kiwiblog broken for everyone else, or just me?

    That's quite surreal. View Source, that's fun too. Is it weird that it almost seems to make more sense like that?

  • Radiation: The death of television, again,

    But until then, Dollhouse is only days away.

    I have been adamantly refusing to believe in the existence of Dollhouse . I'll believe it when I see it. Which should be in about a week. And I shall await the blogs on how sexist it is with... 'pleasure' isn't quite the right word...

    And could Bones, House or Grey's Anatomy to introduce any more situational has-bian characters

    Oh go on, Bones is trying EVER so hard, sir. Yes they nailed the trait onto a character several series in via the ol' surprise ex-girlfriend, but at least they went to lengths to explain that a woman who has a relationship with a woman after a relationship with a man is NOT a lesbian. Also, they narrowly managed to avoid the 'bisexual woman must be promiscuous femme fatale' trap, so I'll take what I can get and pat them on their terribly earnest heads.

  • Up Front: Girls Can Do Anything. You…,

    Can't speak for Emma, but in this household a very similar outburst coincided with the sweet, sweet moment of Haddin's dismissal. And, in slightly more muted form, when Hilfenhaus sent down five wides to the left of said keeper.

    Ah, Giovanni, those were indeed the exact moments. The second was followed by an extended 'where R my gloves LOL' riff.

  • Up Front: Girls Can Do Anything. You…,

    I can usually express myself much more fluently when I'm typing than when I'm speaking.

    Yeah, me too. I'm way more fluent at a keyboard than in any other setting. I'm utterly useless with a pen these days, and my tongue only appears to be able to get ahead of my brain the way my fingers do after I've had a few gins. I suspect dictating would cause me to dry up completely.

    I can break writer's block by playing any word game that involves typing. I get to such a speed that when I go back to my blank piece of paper my fingers carry the momentum over.

    In cricket-related matters, I just might have used the phrase 'fuck off you cheating cheating lying fucking bastard' last night, and not in re the women's game. Fortunately my family finds this behaviour endearing.
