If you are a New Zealander and have a sense of humour, or are someone who lives in a country where sport is taken too seriously and literature isn't taken seriously enough (so... all countries, then?) you will probably find this funny: Can Lloyd Jones expect the All Blacks treatment?

Those watching the TV coverage at home - including a shot of a despondent 10-year-old clutching a copy of Mister Pip to his chest, telling a reporter that he’s not so sure he does now want to be a writer when he grows up - will down another beer, then another, to drown their sorrows. Wives and kids will cop a blow or two from frustrated, drunken husbands.

The other show I watched today that I'm keen on is Bionic Woman, which I'm really enjoying - no spoilery thoughts because I'm talking it out with people elsewhere, but I was really digging Katee Sackhoff's character that ep - in fact, I really enjoyed this week's ep in general. Y'all should tune in, yo.

*spittakes* Now watching Life, and - Samoan dude called Manny Umaga, except Umaga? Not said how you think it's said, unless you're not a new zealander, in which case, probably exactly how you think it's said. I had to rewind to check they actually said Samoan, it sounded German or something weird.
