This is not what I think it is. Is it?

What it is a site for those dorky baby/pet print sets. However, that has to be one of the most unfortunate website name/website design combination I have ever come across. (The site owner gives a little blurb about why it's named 'jacobella' but really, the name and header had me going D: for a moment as to why a Twilight-related site was linked to in a fairly serious craft blog.)
Anyway... I passed my assessment on Monday. 84% or so. So yay!
Next week is fairly messed up schedule wise though. Two days 2:00pm to 8:00pm and two days 8:00am to 2:00pm.
Then the week after that is a mixture of production kitchen and front of house. Fun.
In slightly more exciting news, Neil Gaiman is coming to New Zealand!
TO WELLINGTON!
Here's the link to the event details.
I shall have to see if I can make it at all, but either way, I'm still excited a FAVOURITE author is coming to New Zealand, to WELLINGTON even.
In yet more fandom related news, I'm right now composing a enquiry feedback form thing for TVNZ as they still haven't aired Torchwood: CoE three months after it's airdate in the UK and about seven months after they said they would when I sent my first feedback form to them.
Earlier in the year (Febuary), I enquired as to when you would resume screening Torchwood. I received a lovely answer about why the show had been paused 17 episodes in, as well as the information that it was hoped you could run season three of Torchwood after the remaining episodes had aired.
I understand that the UK release was delayed and thus you weren't able to follow that plan but I would be extremely interested to know when you plan to screen season 3, if at all. (If you have already screened it, I would be terribly embarrassed that I hadn't noticed it in any listings and wish you had advertised it more.)
If you aren't planning on airing it any time soon, may I also enquire as to why? Even though I will still be disppointed and frustrated at having to find another way to view it, at least I'll be able to understand your decision.
Yes, I am rather persistent in hounding them. Even though I don't fully agree with the decision Torchwood's BBC producers and directors and writers took character-wise, I do like the BBC enough to not step down any alleys of illegality.
Even if TVNZ takes ABSOLUTE AGES to air anything. I mean... TV3/Canwest Media are showing the first episode of Glee this weekend, what... two months after it started in the States? I know Bones and other shows it imports will be starting up in a few months time for summer, and although not exactly timely... it's a lot quicker than TV2/TVNZ.
However, if TVNZ is being douchey about the whole thing, deciding five episodes isn't worth airing and they'll wait until season four (except I don't consider CoE to be a season. It's a mini series at best...) then... I don't know what I'll do except see if I can get hold of the DVDs. Or find a safe torrent.
