Lots going on in my head and in life as I once again settle into a regular routine. I have no planned trips for a good two months now (until my mother dearest visits), so with any luck I can finally make more time to get stuff down for the benefit of any readers I may have.
Tonight I am excitable:
1. FOOTY'S BACK FOR REAL
And it starts with the Crows! I thought it was next week, so bonus. Although I'll be taping it as I have a Rotaract event and then opening night of the Travelling Film Festival to attend... busy times.
2. THE MINDY PROJECT IS BACK TOO
What awesomeness. Just as I'd resigned myself to thinking Seven had screwed around with yet another program they decide to cut the How I Met Your Mother double to one episode to fit it in as of next week. While I love Mother, I'm really glad about this. I hope it was because people complained. If you're not on the Mindy train (I didn't even have to give it time) then shame, shame, shame.
3. AMAROO HOTEL FOOD PAST THEIR SCHNITTIES IS GOOD
I'm pretty sure I've not eaten there besides cheap schnitty Wednesday after the one time during my first few days in Dubbo. Tonight I had grilled barramundi half price and it was real good. However, the green beans are still questionable.

When you know that you're in charge of your intentions, then you'll come to know that you're in charge of your entire world.
Jealousy is really a demand that someone love you in a certain way, and you saying, "It isn't fair" when they don't. It comes from a lack of self-confidence.

Did anyone catch The Mindy Project after HIMYM on Monday night? I found it taped by accident and ended up watching it after looking up that it was the first episode. Pretty funny actually, even for another doctor show (seriously USA, there's enough of them now). See how we go with next week's episode...
Now doesn't this look interesting? Another reworking of Sherlock Holmes, yes, but I'm kind of intrigued. Jonny Lee Miller already to me is an awesome choice as the great detective - how has he NOT done it before now? I'm cautious to see how this goes with the major differences (Watson as a woman and the New York setting); I've never really gotten stuck into a Sherlock TV series so I might give this a go.

On a different note, I've never watched My Kitchen Rules for more than 20 seconds before Tuesday night, but I found myself eating dinner in front of the TV as Tassie dad-son duo Mick and Matt did their best to impress their fellow contestants with their seafood expertise. I can see how it's addictive! Can't say I'll be watching it every night, but it's high pressure watching for sure.
I'm trying to avoid getting into too much new stuff again this year. I found 2012 was pretty hectic just as it was and I'm trying to do different things in my spare time. Will still be keeping up with Downton Abbey among other shows from last year though - I've found myself singing and bopping to my rendition of She Wolf for weeks not being able to get the montage from the ad out of my head! So excited it's "after the tennis" now (in one way anyway).
I'd still like to know what shows you'll be getting into in 2013...
