Random Catching Up
Aug. 21st, 2005 11:13 pmGOOD weekend in Seattle. Mom asked me if I miss it. I do a bit. But mostly I miss the people. ::hugs::
Only ended up watching Tristan. Callie went to Whidby Island with a friend. Tris got back around midnight on Friday dead tired. In the morning he woke up with Sheppard hair. omg so cute! He also went around saying "that sucks, yo." Ha.
Saturday we went to the mall and I got my bridal shower shopping done. Yea. The lady at Bath and Body Works was very nice and helpful in a way that was entirely non-annoying. She also had neat green-hazel eyes. And, omg, I found Good Neighbors/The Good Life on DVD!! The whole series. I am so friggin' thrilled. The show is *so* far before my time, but I caught it once on PBS and LOVE. Felicity Kendal is the cutest thing ever and Richard Briers cracks me up.
But why is it called something different in the US? Are we too stupid to understand the title The Good Life?
Saturday night I was flipping through channels and zoomed past Lifetime only to do a double-take and zoom back because I though I spotted someone I recognized. I was right! It was something called Silencing Mary and it starred Melissa Joan Hart, Corin Nemec (Jonas!) as her boyfriend, and Teryl Rothery (Dr. Frasier!) as a detective/cop. I stopped because of CN and had a cow, scaring Tris in the process, and then flailed a little more when TR showed up.
And then last night I couldn't sleep so I watched part of Nip/Tuck on FX and holy *crap* but that's a good show. I mean, damn. ( It was the episode with the stigmata-woman... )
I may need to buy it on DVD.
Also rented and watched Brigadoon because I'd never seen it before. Mom discovered I didn't even know what it was about when we drove over Stevens Pass and there was a sign for a town that seemed to not be there at all. Anyway. Loved it. How could I not? I mean Gene Kelly. We laughed our asses off at "hot headed Harry" trying to flee the village though. At one point he looked *exactly* like Mr. Peepers from SNL. 'Twas funny I tell you.
Friday's ep of Firefly was "Shindig." How did Inara know how much pressure it takes to cut skin? Was the fencing part of her, what I assume would be well-rounded, training at the academy? Of all the people on Serenity, I think it's Inara and Book I'm most curious about. And River. But Inara and Book are the ones we probably won't find out too much about.

Apologies beforehand with the SGA thoughts. I don't think I can get through it without excessive use of CAPS and exclamation points. As an English major and a scholar I realize I should be able to articulate my thoughts in a more learned manner, but, um, no.

Hey, look, no excessive CAPS and exclamation points. Go me.
One question though. Who is Dr. Vogel and why does he love pastry so much? Speaking of, there was a lot of pastry in this ep. (Okay, not a *lot*.) Where did Rodney get that donut? Did the Daedalus go back to Earth and bring some with? Did the Ancients have a Krispy Kreme? I'm betting next week they find Starbucks on one of the unexplored piers/levels/wings.
Gonna go watch The Good Life now. Yea.
