NO NO NO

A thousand times, NO! Didn’t the SciFi Channel people learn their lesson when they tried this BS with SG-1?!? One of the best things about Eureka has always been the retro-futuristic feel of the credits and now they are using the same abbreviated, title-only mess that SG-1 fans had to rally against. ARGH!

Change it back. Change it back NOW.

Otherwise, good ep!

Mood: Enraged

Omens, good.

Thanks to a wonderfully geeky transfer student, I was loaned a well-worn copy of Good Omens this weekend. I’ve been urged by Ben to try out Terry Pratchett, but something about the student’s enthusiastic offering of his book made me break down and read it. Though it’s actually by Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, it should count toward Ben’s column, no? For a quick little read, I found it charming. Fortunately, I was able to discard the environmental junk and focus on the humor. I’m lucky that way. I’ll seriously consider reading Hitchhiker’s Guide at some point.

Two more British familial castings I knew nothing about: Lupin (HP) is ~~married to~~ with Chuck (PD). Wow! Also? The Doctor’s daughter, IS The (Fifth) Doctor’s daughter. *head spins*

Hurray for Election Day, even if I have no need of primaries. Being a republican in a democrat state gives me nothing more than a day off work; which I’ll take. Oh, and the day is made all the better by the SG-1 marathon (of sorts) on Sci-Fi!

A-nu-bis

How great is it that my least favorite goa’uld is on LOST this week?!? Zipacna tried to snark on Osiris until she (he? heh) threw down the threat of Anubis, making his little rabbit lip quiver. Zippy also tried to take Ska’ara out by defending Klorel in that trial held by by the Tollans, but SG-1 prevailed, of course. Ah, good times.Â Speaking of SG-1, in the Stargate movie, the really good looking sidekick of Ra is credited as Anubis and was killed by the Stargate team. Â According to show canon, Anubis had been banished centuries earlier by the System Lords, but the two stories could work together;Â he could have been like Imhotep, hiding out as a Jaffa, after his “death” and that could explain a) why the System Lords paid him no mind and b) how he was able to live on because of his half ascension.Â Yep, I need a life.

On a different note, how amazing is James on Survivor? Such the body and a brain now, too. Triumphant, indeed. Well played, James.

[Edit:Â LOST is sooooo bad.Â Desmond and crazy Jesus/Manson man have a past.Â Bwa ha ha ha ha]

Annual Post

Jenn — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 17:37:48 +0000

It seems my whole “Look at me!” gift post has really caught on; everyone’s doing it these days.

( Here's the 2007 list )

Doctor Who Christmas Special- I’m going to have to go with, um, bad. Didn’t enjoy it much at all. Kylie Minogue was flat and The Doctor had too many messianic moments, especially coming off the whole last Series ender. Sill looking forward to the new Series, though.

Stargate: Ark of Truth (waaay early) was awesome. It felt like a comfortable extended episode and I will be buying it as soon as it hits the shelves in March/April.

Ben and Jesse are slated to attend my first ever New Year’s Party, and I hope they do indeed make it down. Hobbit, Istar, and I have already begun planning a menu. If the guys can’t make it down, there will be lots of food to go around.

Fandom Hate

Jenn — Mon, 20 Aug 2007 11:32:40 +0000

I have an abundance of fandom love. I have delved deep into various ‘ships, groups, and singularities. With such passion, comes the converse. The fandom hate. Only once before have the two collided; when John and Aeryn became Cameron and Vala. I dealt with it quite well and even embraced both characters and actors. I have a feeling it will NOT be the case this time.

( Heroes and Doctor Who Casting News )

Enough fun, I’m off to work!

To Quote Cameron Mitchell

Jenn — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 13:31:46 +0000

NOT YET, WALTER! NOT YET! S09.Ep03 “Origin” : Cam and Teal’c were going to free Daniel and Vala from their connection with Harrid and Sallis by throwing the Ancient device into the energy vortex of the gate. Walter was dialing the gate, and they needed perfect timing so they wouldn’t miss the vortex.

Anyway, my point is that it’s TOO SOON to be posting spoilers from Book 7, dammit. The NY Times ran its “review” which obviously included spoilers, so as to trump all other media outlets. I’m afraid that I may just avoid the computer until I’ve finished reading, sometime around Sunday morning. I’ll probably just stay away from any news sources, LJ, RSS readers (which will KILL me), and anything else that may reveal too much. I’ll stick to my DVRd shows and wait anxiously for my book.

Another quote from SG-1 is befitting my mailman, who truly is an idiot every day of the week (S03.Ep14 “Foothold”). If you’ve ever seen the Chevy Chase movie Funny Farm, you can imagine just how nuts this guy is. I think he delivers mail to whomever he wants, whenever he wants. I know I received my neighbor’s tax refund once. I’d put my chances at getting my book delivered on time at around 50%. Now I can tell you, if I don’t get my book, I’m going to be hell to deal with, especially if everyone is sold out (which I doubt will happen). When Book 6 came out, I was living with the ‘rents and their mailman is supurb. He even drove all the way up their driveway to hand deliver my book to me. Damn, I should have had it shipped to them! Arrrgh! Why didn’t I think?!? Anyway, I’d say things will be alright, and I’m going to stop rambling now.

Indeed.

No Lipgloss

Jenn — Wed, 27 Jun 2007 17:58:52 +0000

I’m adding a bunch of music to my Zune today. I have all my favorite fanvids on there (well over 150), a few movies (Hello, Hot Fuzz), favorite episodes of SG-1 (It’s Good To Be King, Unending), and a few Doctor Who eps, as well as all my old, tired music. Today, however, I’m adding shiny new music. Yay!! I have Rufus Wainwright, Lifehouse, and Busta Rhymes. With the recent addition of Linkin Park, Loreena McKinnett, and Bone (for my brother), I’d say I have a pretty diverse musical lineup on there.

If only I could get the video for “Lipgloss” encoded in time… *snerk*

Now all I have to do is actually go somewhere so I can enjoy my Zune.

Christmas came TODAY!

Spamalot didn’t happen because something so wonderously magnificent happened instead. One of the students located a HUGE comic store in Times Square and thought I’d like to go, and was he right! This Boromir figure just jumped ahead of my Fellowship set as my favorite item in Fandom Room. I’m so in love with it I think I could die. I also scored two SG-1 Figures. I wish they had had a Carter, but I was able to pick up the Colonel O’Neill (better looking that General, and slightly more so than Black Ops O’Neill) and Jaffa Warrior Teal’c, who just looks amazing!

Yes, it’s been a good day in NYC afterall. I’ll be home this time tomorrow, and I’m actually ready to get home ASAP.

I want to see Ben and Jesse (hopefully) on their way home from Dollywood and now that Coley is around, I want to talk to her some more, too! Shrader and I will need to hang out and, oh, you get the picture.

No, brotha.

Jenn — Fri, 16 Feb 2007 00:55:38 +0000

How sad is it that I like Desmond better than all but one original cast member?

We got out of work early yesterday and had a full snowday today. Yay! I have some work I could be doing, but it looks like my birthday plans (the ones from when I was young and thought I’d be celebrating with diamond “Forever” necklaces from my astonishingly gorgeous husband) aren’t going to pan out and I can spend all weekend doing credit checks for the juniors and sophomores.

Tonight is one of the best nights for television: Survivor, CSI, Ugly Betty, Whoo! Oh, I have to say that I the SG-1 ep from this week. It felt just like an old season 3 or 4 ep, only, you know, without Jack. Still, I really liked it.

Ah, Ethics.

Jenn — Sun, 11 Feb 2007 20:18:43 +0000

My class this weekend was the kickoff of the Legal and Ethical Issues class and whoa, boy, did I learn a lot. I am really enjoying my classes this term, but I still can’t wait to find out when I’ll be finished with the certification. Ben and Jesse were, as always, wonderful to me. I had the best night’s sleep I’ve had in a long time after we had some Southern Kitchen yummies for dinner. You can almost never go wrong with biscuits and gravy. Yup.

Mini-TV Update: Top Designer (still meh, but passable), LOST (still sucky), Ugly Betty (AWESOME!), Survivor: Fiji (consistant), CSI (always good), SG-1 (veeery Farscapian this time, though good), Road Rules (Veronica gone AND Abram kicked out…again. Yay!).

Half Is Good

Jenn — Wed, 10 Jan 2007 03:09:09 +0000

Yay! Half-day snowday today. Driving home was incredibly difficult, but knowing that I *just* started getting SG-1 S10.E11 and won’t get to watch it is even more difficult. I sooo hope we get a full snowday tomorrow, but since it’s stopped snowing and the county in which I work does an excellent job of clearing the roads, we probably won’t. I can always dream, though!

[Edit: The second I hit "Save" on this entry, the phone rang...two hour delay tomorrow! Many times, our delays turn into full days, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed :nod:]

A-OK

Jenn — Sun, 10 Dec 2006 21:23:57 +0000

Istar’s vet visit went extremely well. There had been some concern because one of his, um, male parts had not descended and they were afraid he would need a more extensive surgery to be neutered. Now, his surgery (December 28) should go smoothly with minimal cutting or pain. He finished his vaccinations and even handled the nosedrops like a champ. (Un)fortunately, he’s been knocked out by the medicine and he has slept most of the last two days. Hobbit must be having sympathy side-effects; she’s slept the last two days, too.

My parents are in Dollywood for their annual Christmas trip. I thought they were due back today, but Scott informed me that they aren’t coming back until Wednesday. Wednesday! You’d think they would notify the child responsible for taking care of their cats of their return date, but you’d be wrong.

I miss Heroes. I don’t want to wait for it to come back. I think I miss it even more than SG-1, though it could be due to the fact that once SG-1 comes back, it’s over–for good. ANTM is finished, Heroes is on winter break, SG-1 has been on Winter Break forever now, TAR finishes tonight…I think I’ll start taping all of the CSI eps on Spike just so I’ll have something to watch.

I DID Meet Him!

Jenn — Tue, 07 Nov 2006 04:39:10 +0000

My first SG-1 vid!

Music: What If We Could

Music by: Blue October

Runtime: 4:02 Size: 21.8 MB

Download from ZeroMuch.com

Notes:
I met Cliff Simon in September 2006 at Dragon*Con and wanted to make a Baal vid ever since. I always felt that deep down, in the absence of being a god, Baal wanted to be a member of SG-1. This vid is basically a daydream of Baal’s, upon realizing what Anubis has planned for the galaxy; he’s dreaming of all the “fun” he would have with SG-1 and what it could be like to be a member of the team.

There’s not a lot of snazzy editing, and there’s actually a lot less Baal footage than I thought there was. I guess I was confusing my dreams with reality again. Hee!

Jump! Jump!

Jenn — Thu, 05 Oct 2006 01:30:13 +0000

I have decided that I’m going to allow LOST to jump as many Dharma-branded sharks as it wants.

If the spoiler rumors about SGA are true and they’re killing off a perfectly good and entertaining character to bring in some Firefly reject, added to the fact that SG-1 is cancelled, I may find that LOST is all I have left.

*sigh*

Stargate Friday

Jenn — Sat, 16 Sep 2006 15:44:14 +0000

How much did I love SG-1 and SGA last night? Oh, that’s right. Not at all. It’s rare that I don’t like either show’s episode on the same night, but this was definitely one of those times. With so little time left for SG-1, I hope the rest of the season will now focus on the important themes of the show and not the scappy little stuff with the Lucian Alliance. Meanwhile, SGA was just meh with the whole Wraith mindwarp junk.
