Evil Wrapped in a Fangirl Disguise

There was nothing on TV tonight, so Mom and I finally watched ( The Ark of Truth )

Meanwhile, you know what I love? I love that scene in "Hide & Seek" where John pushes Rodney off the balcony. Do we ever see him smile like that again? He's just so excited and eager and gollygeewhizwow open as he runs down the steps. Not to mention how adorable Rodney is. Plus, there's the whole, "Oh, believe me, that's not the first thing we tried." "I shot him. In the leg." Then the little "in-vuln-erable."

Oh, man. See? This is what I was talking about with SG-1. I don't watch SGA for a while and I forget how much I love them. Which is maybe a good thing. Distance myself and then come back and enjoy it all again.

Over the weekend, Kay and I watched Little Children. Excellent. I recommend it. The inclusion of Madame Bovary was interesting for me, as well as the parallels to the novel.

How is it that I got, like, three and a half hours of sleep last night and yet I am still fairly awake now?

Am now reading George Sand's Indiana for 19th Century French Novel. So far, through part one, the hero drives me nuts. At least, I assume he's the hero. I will say that I'm interested to see exactly how it all plays out. Something tells me it's not going to end well.

Whenever I see the word "April" now, my mind immediately goes, "Whan that Aprill with his shoures soote."

I find it a little embarrassing that the SciFi channel can't spell Ronon's name correctly.

Next week they'll show their season finales. By which they mean they're going on break until whenever they return in 2007, at which point they'll finish season three. They always say finale at hiatus time, which is ridiculous, a lie, and confusing.

I was supposed to pack today and I've only been partially successful. It was just a lazy day. Luckily most of my stuff is still packed from moving home, so I'm really not in bad shape at all. Woo. And now my eyebrows are freshly plucked and my hair is newly dyed so the day wasn't a complete waste all things considered. :)

And Never Let Her Go was on Lifetime the other day and me, being the dork that I am, stuck around waiting to see if DH would show up. He didn't. But imagine my surprise when Donald from Traders shows up instead. I was left sitting there going, "Was that-?" And now it looks like he's in a few eps of Angela's Eyes. Am I gonna have to check that out too, just to see what Rick Roberts is like in something else?

Also, I should have watched all of Psych on Friday instead of watching a bit and then changing channels. David Nykl was on! Now I'm going to have to go guide surfing to find out when they'll repeat it this week.

Thoughts on SciFi Friday are less than organized or thought out. It was a long-ish weekend. And I just spent two hours raking hay, so I'm allowed some laziness.

So, next week is the 200th episode of SG-1. I'm mildly annoyed that they keep showing special previews for it during Eureka. I mean I understand that they want to advertise it because it's a big accomplishment for any show, but I would have liked to have gone into it without seeing some of the stuff they're going to pull.

Comments for SciFi Friday this week are particularly blah and not really thought out. I'm lazy and have got nothing.

The clouds tonight were really interesting.

Dear Stargate,

I don't care what anyone else says, I love you.

Love,
Me

Neither of these have any real order. Mostly due to the fact that I can't remember half the stuff that happened because of general excitement and because, well, there was so much I enjoyed and those bits are overshadowing all of the other bits.

I would probably have other things to say, but I don't feel like focusing that much right now. Lately I've had trouble sitting still reading and writing, and there's only so much sense I can make out of my shiny jumbled thoughts.

As I said in my last post, I went to Wenatchee with Grandma so she could see a man about her macular degeneration. Spent, hmm, over an hour and an half reading in the waiting room. Someone was studying to pass a gun safety test. Someone else was discussing trapping animals in Alaska and Missouri. It was air-conditioned and that's good enough for me. had a late lunch at Sharis and had an actually really good salad. Mmm, feta. All of the reading about Greek food is making me long for a gyro.

( Meanwhile, the sky's the only interesting thing I have to take pictures of. )

ETA: Hugh Laurie is going to be on Inside the Actor's Studio this Monday. There are clips up online. He plays the piano and sings. Oh, Hugh Laurie. ♥

Yesterday was a good shopping day. I got three of the four things I set out to get: the soundtrack to Superman Returns, the new Muse CD, and the first season of the new Doctor Who. Wasn't able to find the soundtrack to PotC2, but the trip would have been worth it for the DVDs alone. A little pricey, but anyone who knows me knows that I don't really care. I mean, I did buy all four seasons of Farscape and those are worth an arm and a leg. If I want it, I'm going to get it. Anyway. Also got some really neat earrings and a new bag from Target. Yea Target.

Had Chinese food for dinner and talked about Captain Jack (not Sparrow) and then came home and watched the final two episodes off of the DVDs. So now I'm caught up with last season and rather sad I don't have more with me right now.

Luckily, SG-1 and SGA started tonight to distract me.

Anything under a cut is going to have spoilers.

Randomly, a visit to the set of Neil Gaiman's Stardust. There's even a picture! (Exciting, I know.)

Cheers!

It's after two and I'm still wired and it's really okay because the only thing I absolutely have to be prepared for tomorrow is work at seven. PM that is. AM and I'd be screwed right now.

Watched SG-1 on Friday. Kay's big question regarded Daniel. "What's with the doorag?" (Is that even how it's spelled? Yea phonetics!) She hasn't seen a lot of episodes, because she's not into it and I am *so* lucky they let me take over their TV for an hour. Daniel's always been a fan of the doorag. Although Friday it was crooked.

Anyway. Ben Browder continues to be hot. Funny, too. But I'm feeling shallow.

Maybe it's just because it's been awhile since I saw this season's beginning, but it felt like there was a better handle on Cameron and Daniel. What I mean is that I don't *really* recall getting a sense of how they were going to act/work together at the beginning of the season. But now I like the dynamic that they seem to be developing/cultivating. I loved the back-and-forth thing they had going, very in-tune. More on a level, I think, than Jack and Daniel. (And I don't really mean "more," just in a different way.) Which isn't to take down that relationship at all, but Cameron and Daniel seem slightly more equals in some way that I can't quite pin-point. There's just an easy lets-make-fun-of-people thing going on with them that's slightly different than what was going on with Jack and Daniel. And I really shouldn't compare the two, but it happens. Anyway, I like where I see them going with it. I think they're gonna be fun. :) Yea, Sci-Fi Friday!

I tried to get better pics of Kirby this weekend. They're not the best pictures ever, but they'll do. The dog just will not sit still. He is kind of, hmmm, endearingly crazy.
