"Masters of Science Fiction" Little Brother (2007)

"The ABC network pulled this from its broadcast schedule because of the adult nature of a gang rape attempt of a young girl and then her murder by corrupt police officers."

Science Fiction has hit mainstream with this series, thank you very much.

Meanwhile, on Facebook, I saw one of my friends post this:

... is still looking for that special 30 something female with a quirky sense of humour, a love of red wine, beer, old skool martinis and gooood tequila, passionate about well assembled food, graphic novels, U2, RHCP and progressive house. must enjoy the muppets & monty python and appreciate random outbursts of sci-fi geekage. non-dog lovers need not apply. experience in handling up to 80 kgs of drunken mischief is a plus.

Gee, I'll apply. Let's see now.

Special - Yeah, I've been told I am special. Usually by my teachers. Usually followed by the word 'needs'.
30 something - For a few more years, I still qualify!
Female - Trust me.
Quirky sense of humour - Si Si! And that's not just my cup!
Love of red wine - I do favour white, though.
Beer - Hello? Beer!! Cheap beer Tuesdays!
Old skool martinis - When you have the time, let me tell you all about the perfect gin martini.
Goood tequila - Don't judge me. I can still drink tequila despite the lost years.
Passionate about well assembled food - I harbour secret thoughts about being a food anthropologist, and *cough* I'm a food technologist by training. Well assembled food AND food assembly!
Graphic novels - Check!
U2, RHCP and progressive house - one out of three is not bad!
Muppets - And now Pigs in Space. Starring the ever handsome Link Hogwash, the illustrious first mate Miss Piggy, and the scientist Dr Jullius Strangepork. Our story begins when.....
Monty Python - John Cleese was the first person I followed on Twitter. Yes, I cyberstalk him.
Geekage - I usually alienate people with my geekage.
Dog lover - Must be affectionate and intelligent. The dogs, too.
80 kgs of drunken mischief - Check!

Whoa! I am pretty desirable.

I'll be on the prowl now. Rwoar!
