Guess What I Did Today

I spent two and an half hours this morning on a tractor raking hay.

It was exciting, let me tell you. Actually, it was very zen-like. And not boring for the first hour+. After an hour the song that was stuck in my head got boring. I reverted to "Henry the Eighth," because if anything is an earworm, that song is. (Except I can't remember the beginning of it.)

So yes. Raking. It was an experience. I didn't suck at it and I didn't break any equipment worth lots of money. I also didn't injure myself or others. Plus, we finished that field. All in all, a productive morning. It did mean only four hours of sleep last night, but whatever.

In other not-revolving-around-me news, apparently the designer accused of being less than honest wrote a note to the Project Runway blog denying the allegations. I liked the designer fine. I'm interested in seeing more if they don't get kicked off. However, there is no excuse for NOT USING THE SHIFT KEY. See how easily I used it there? It works well for signaling the beginnings of sentences, proper nouns, and acronyms. You can also use it to emphasize something. The shift-key is handy. It is your friend. Use it.

Okay, so I'll admit to not using shift sometimes, but only to make a point or for stylistic purposes. And it doesn't always bug me, but, yes, I do have issues with the reasoning behind not using it.

Yeah. Eureka premiers on the SciFi channel tonight. As does Dead Like Me, which I highly suggest that people look into. It's a fantastically weird show.

"I'm an Oppenheimer. The Einsteins live on fourth."

Fell asleep during an episode of Law & Order. Didn't really matter because I called it within the first eight minutes. It's rare that a mystery anything really stumps me. Then watched Eureka with Mom. I have to admit, I was charmed before they hit their first commercial break. Should be an interesting. It was fun to see familiar actor faces. The weirdest was seeing Garry Chalk play yet another colonel (he was Col. Chekov on SG-1), but lacking a Russian accent.

Oh, and I finally caught David Cubitt on Medium. I've been trying to actually catch an episode with him on it without any lucky. So, yeah. I didn't even know he was on it until I was telling Mom about Traders and she recognized him.

And now because I am bored, a couple of random things:

- Really fabulous interview with Tim Gunn at the Chicago Tribune. He continues to be the best thing on reality TV.

- A short, not entirely serious piece about Stargate SG-1's numerical achievements, also at the Chicago Tribune. There's a casting spoiler in it, which I kind of would have preferred not to have known. I need to learn not to read any articles about SG-1/SGA because they don't mark things. I did know the person would be on the show, I just didn't know who they would be. Now I do, I'm excited, but it would have been much cooler to have been surprised.

Longest running sci-fi show in American television history though. Go them.
