The tvjunkie files #9

D.W.Q.M.: Sgt. Benton: "What are we going to do now?" The Second Doctor: "Keep it confused, feed it with useless information. I wonder if I have a television set handy?" Ahhhhh, Stargate. New season-yay!!! So I'm a little slow getting this typed out. I thought I'd better do it now, or it'd never get done! ------------------------------------------------------ Series: Stargate: SG-1 (SciFi) Episode: New Order (season 8 premiere) Original Airdate: July 9th, 2004 "So Teal'C, what's with the hair?" -O'Neill Okay, first of all, the actress who played Dr. Weir changed. I didn't even realize it until the actual airing of the episode (I had been reading about Atlantis for weeks). So far I'm cool with it, but it disturbed both "the Doc" and Jerm. ;) I think she's cool-I'm glad she didn't turn into another Kinnsey. Next big thing-no General Hammond. :( Apparently he has some desk job s

Stoooopid!! :-p

D.W.Q.M.: "Your arrogance is nearly as great as your ignorance." -the First Doctor Ahhh, how well this quote applies to me today. So at lunch today, I was paging through my latest copy of Non-Sport Update , when I came across an interesting article by contributor Don Norton. Apparently with the April/May issue of NSU, there were 100 autographed Benchwarmer promo cards inserted along with the other promos from the issue. So far three have been found-and one of those at an Ohio Borders. I usually buy my copy of NSU at Borders. Now, for those of you who have miraculously remained untouched by my card-collecting hobby (ie, having had to sit through me excitedly talk about my cards or what I'm reading in the NSU ;) LOL ), here is my stance on promo cards: I usually get about 3 or 4, sometimes 5 promo cards with every NSU issue (published bi-monthly) I have a ton of promo cards for sets that I don't intend to try to collect. I decided to keep all of my prom

Summer in MN, part 1

D.W.Q.M.: Time Lord: "I'm travelling incognito." The Third Doctor: "Oh? Why?" Time Lord: "We Time Lords don't care to be conspicuous." looks at the Doctor "Some of us, that is." Well, since I was really lazy this week, and there are new Stargates on tonight, I'll save my tvjunkie files post for sometime this weekend (provided I don't get lazy again) and include the epiosodes that are on tonight... So, for this trip to Minnesota, I actually wrote in my journal-the theory is it'll make it easier to type up in blogger, and I'll write about everything I want to...well, that's the theory, anyway. ;) June 29 th , approx. 11:30pm Unlike my other trips to Minnesota in the last five years, I decided it would be cheaper for me to take the Greyhound, instead of fly...I was reminded why I prefer flying, and why it's been 5 years since I've taken the Greyhound. My bus was supposed to leave at 12:25 am.

Rain, rain, go away....?

D.W.Q.M.:   "Who am I to fear the thunder, you superstitious dark dodging decadent?" -Hector (from The Mythmakers)   The rain today prevented us from performing at Mt. Carmel tonight.  We waited around for about an hour, but then they told us that we didn't have to stay.   We heard from one of the band members who checked the radar before he left that there were no signs of it actually stopping for a long while.   Oh, well-so far the procession is still on for tomorrow!   That's okay-now I have time to get caught up on my scifi viewing.  I'm already caught up on Stargate (not hard, considering there's only been one episode for the new season so far)  LOL.  ;)  And I saw the promo for the Farscape mini in October.  It was frellin' awesome!!!!!   Woo!   Blogger added some new text editing features.  I may have to experiment with them sometime...  I'm not to sure about this though-my last entry I composed in Notebook, but had to re-format it when

A Brush With Fame

D.W.Q.M.: "Wicked!!!" -Ace "Next time something cool like this happens to us, remind me to take out my cell phone!!" -Jerm So Friday night Jerm and I were trying to figure out what to do after dinner. Since neither of us had gotten the chance to see the premiere of Stargate last week, Stargate Atlantis would be off limits (expect a summer revival of the tvjunkie files sometime this month. ;) ), neither of us had any Doctor Who episodes we wanted to watch, and we finished Zelda 4 Swords last Monday.   Finally Jerm said if I could get P^2 to do something later that evening, he'd consider walking over to Cain Park for a bit.  (I have never been to Cain Park before-I've driven past it several times, but never been there)  Well, Perseph had to work on the wedding invites, but she said Paul might be up for something later.  So Jerm and I said goodbye to her, and we were off to Cain Park (about a 10 minute walk from their place) We decided to walk ar

D.W.Q.M.: "What's wrong with being childish? I like being childish. " -the Third Doctor Yay, Meatwad!!!! You're Meatwad! You're easily amused, you can't read or count, and you can remove your brain from your body and morph into various shapes. You'll make friends with anything, including mold.

i'm back!

D.W.Q.M.: "Are you coming or going? Or going or coming?" -the Fourth Doctor I'm back from Minnesota!!! I had a wonderful time. :) As always, it was hard coming back-this time particularly so-in part because I felt so overwhelmed when I got home-I had alot of phone messages, plus a couple of letters reminding me of things that I thought I took care of before I left, but I guess I didn't. Uff-da! To top it off, my avacado plant isn't doing so well, and my aloes are looking a little bit under the weather. *sigh* I knew I should have waited to repot them! Hopefully I can figure out what's wrong with both of them, so they will be as good as new. Anyhoo, Perseph's brother picked me up at the bus station Sunday afternoon (Thanks again, Adam!!!!)-after I went through my mail, messages, and made a couple of phone calls, I jumped into the shower, then took a nap. I try to sleep on the bus, but it's usually a restless sleep, so I'm a little tir
