Hi. My name is Tahnee. And I'm a tragic Offspring fan.

Yes, I bawled like a baby through last night's season finale. Mostly at the end (through laughter and happiness) when all the loose strings were tied up ~ Alfie pulling through, Zara admitting her love for superclutz Jimmy, Cherie making the right decision with Clegg (who really is THE most fabulous character I think!), Billie and Mick sorting out their drama, and of course the reunion we had all be waiting for. Nina and Patrick. +1.

I struggled to see the tele toward the end through salty tears of joy (you know, actual joy for, er.. made up people). And laughter. Phillip Noonan thrashing out his best Elvis moves was bloody hysterical. Garry McDonald is so brilliant in this role. The casting directors and writers are truly gifted, perhaps slightly, and just enough, crazy. To come up with such dialogue to combine quality drama and comedy gold, I applaud them. Asher Keddie and Matt LeNevez have the most ridiculous chemistry I have ever seen. They suck us right in. Rumour has it Channel Ten have signed on for another two seasons. I certainly hope that is truth. Yep. Wednesdays are really going to suck now.

Oh sweet Lord. That man.

I love Gavin & Stacey. I came upon it by chance two years ago, up late on Christmas Eve wrapping presents (how I adore doing that), when the Christmas Special was on. Then they started showing (or perhaps repeating) the three part series on the ABC and I was hooked. It is absolute comedy genius, tears rolling down your face kind of laughter. Pure gold. Nessa, hands down favourite for me. She is after all (well Ruth Jones, actually), half the creative genius behind the shenanigans played out between Billericay and Barry. I think Bryn comes in a tight second. My set on DVD have been getting a good workout the last few weeks with evening viewing on the idiot box completely crap, aside from a decent show here and there. It doesn't matter how many times I see an episode - I know all the dialogue - it still cracks me up.

I was visiting this lovely space this morning and had to laugh when Tessa described her lunch with a girlfriend as lush. Stacey, eat your heart out. I have decided there needs to be more lushness in the world. Henceforth, I declare I will be throwing the marvellous descriptive brilliance of this little word around, willy nilly, if you will. You have been warned. Of course, I must spread the lush-ness..

he's back!

As my sister would say, yeah giggidy! Thursday night is normal again.

Happy days.
