Morena, Brisbane, not happening. *bursts into tears*

As I suspected, due to Morena Baccarin recently being cast to the remake of 'V', she won't be available to come to Brisbane Supanova. Instead she'll be postponing her trip to Australia and making an appearance at the Sydney and Perth events later in the year. Info on site linked below*

Twilight star Peter Facinelli and Eric Roberts (Doctor Who) also had to cancel.

As replacements, they're bringing Amber Benson and Adam Busch (BtVS) to Brisbane [only] and Katee Sackhoff (BSG) to Melbourne [only].

Luckily for me (unless mum decides to go all evil on me) I should be receiving the payment from Centrelink soon. I have enough saved to go to Supanova and get Morena's photo and signature - which'll now go towards Amber and Adam's autographs. This bonus payment will possibly allow me to take a one or two day trip down to Sydney in June (26-28) or Perth in July (3-5) for the Supanova to see Morena. Seriously. I'd go anywhere for her if I had the money. Same with the rest of the Firefly cast. *crosses fingers that it'll all work out* Anyone with me?

Close Encounters Of The Dumb Kind

I found the following on the site here. Much funny. :D

Me: “Thank you for calling **** support.”
Customer: “Um…I don’t think you’re going to believe this….”
Me: “What seems to be the issue today?”
Customer: “I think my computer was abducted!”
Me: “Excuse me?”
Customer: “I went to bed last night and my computer was on my dining room table. I woke up this morning late for work and rushed out the door. As I backed out of the driveway, I heard a crunch, and I figured it was a trash can or something.”
Me: “…OK. And what does this have to do with your computer, sir?”
Customer: “Well, when I checked it out it was my computer under the back tire. But I swear that it was still inside the house when I went to bed last night!”
Me: “OK sir, unfortunately your warranty does not cover extraterrestrial damage, so any repairs to the computer will have to be paid with a credit card.”
Customer: “WHAT?! I don’t want it fixed! I just wanted to let you know that your computers attract aliens. My insurance company already replaced it. I’m just waiting for it to arrive now.” *click*
