New Plan

2 Comments

We’re still leaving for Dragon*Con on Thursday, but some of my focus has changed. Christopher Judge (Teal’c) has canceled and I am very sad that I won’t get to meet him. Indeed. However, Dr. Weir has been added! This makes me giddy to the point of ridiculousness. Major Lorne from SGA has also been added, as has the psychologist chick. Teyla was always slated to be there, so SGA is making a pretty good showing now. If for some reason, a deity, any deity, wanted to prove its existence to me, Joe Flanigan and/or Jason Momoa would show up, too. Neville and Cho are busy at Hogwarts and won’t be in attendance either, but Viktor Krum is still on board. The rest of my SG-1 wishlist from earlier is still going to be there, and it will be an honor to meet Hammond of Texas (rubs head). Geez, I’m getting exponentially more geeky by the minute. *squee*

p.s. Yes, some con guests have been referred to by their character and some by their real name. It’s just how I roll. Hee!

Heroes

3 Comments

Before I forget (again), I want to pimp a new show from NBC debuting this Fall. Heroes is about a random group of people who begin to develop/realize supernatural powers. I’ve seen the first episode *whistles innocently* and I think it can grow to become one helluva good show. It’s much more story-driven than the teaser vignettes would have us think, and there is a mysterious undercurrent that really makes me want to see more.I have a sneaking suspicion the ep was leaked by the creators, a la LOST, to get some buzz going for the show. I haven’t seen much said about it yet, but I really think you should try to catch it when it airs.

SG-1 was pretty good this week. Adria, while amazingly gorgeous, just screams “Glory” to me (Buffy reference). If she had an English accent, I think she’d be just right, but that’s just my opinion. Shep’s new best friend on SGA is awesome! He has surpassed everyone save Ronon and Lizzie as my favorite character on the show. I hope we see him again and again.

EDIT:  Just because I really like the three shiny new pics used, new (and default) theme: Up Front.

Same as the first.  Work is just, um, wow.  I keep making the same corrections that I made earlier this year and things keep getting messed up (by others).  Yeah.  That’s how it is.  I’m sorry I haven’t been around much, but once the school year gets started and I do Dragon*Con, it’ll get better.  Promise.

I have to say, though, I’ve had a bit of LJ drama the past couple of days.  A very talented rec’er posted an eloquent poll about vidding and vid recommending.  I’m in awe of this person, so I answered.  I even left a comment about one of the subjects of the poll about visitors being turned off by bad graphics and poorly written summaries.  In my usual self-snarky way, I was like, “Aw, damn, my graphics SUCK and my few summaries do too.  I guess I’m in REAL trouble” or something to that effect.  The poster and a couple of other people were fun and nice and pretty much played along, but one chick, whom I have never heard of in ANY fandom was like, “Since you admit you suck at everything, I’ll NEVER watch your vids”.  Pfft.  Whatever.  This is a grown woman with cartoons (anime) on her site.  Just what vids of mine would this person even “get” anyway?!?  had the most lovely comeback and gawd! I just love him.  He said, “Well, if she can’t even understand your comment, your vids would be way over her head,” only entirely full of snarky goodness.  Yup.  He was just what I needed to put it behind me and um, get me back to work.  Hey, come to think of it, DAMN you, Ben.  I didn’t want to go back to work!  Hee!  Actually, the result of the whole ordeal is that I intend to use LJ even less than I already did, because I’m too old and apparently too witty for this crap.

G’night for now, and I hope to be back to my-crazy-posting-self soon!
