So I lost my mind the other day... no wait that's still missing... Let's try this again.
So I lost my wallet the other day when I had to get out of the house and R and I went to go and watch the meteor shower (It was the Perseids and we thought evil thoughts at the clouds and then for a few hours it became one of the clearest, best nights for stargazing that you can get in downtown southern Ontario. We only saw a few meteoroids (I'm pretty sure that they're meteoroids when they're in the atmosphere but I'd have to check my astronomy notes, and even if they're not: meteoroids!) but, as I said it was a really good stargazing night so we looked around at the various constellations and whatnot since I had my binoculars with me. We saw a bunch of satellites and I showed R the double-double in Lyra, a bunch of the nebulae coming out of the spout of Sagitarius, Antares (Mars' "twin" star) in Scorpius, and a random gobular cluster that I found by accident and still don't know which one it is or anything else exciting about it. Then at about 23.30 the clouds started to come back so we went home for sleepy sleeps.) Where was I? Oh yes, the wallet. Anyway I think that it must have fallen out of my pocket while we were sitting and then lying and then sitting and standing and all that stuff with the stargazing. Then yesterday morning when I put on my pants (it's still cool enough for pants!) I knew immedately through my sleep addled haze that something as wrong. Some frantic sleepy searching later I went to work and check where R and I were sitting (standing, lying) because the Tower makes a great shield for the light pollution. No dice. Losing stuff is very unlike me (for longer than about five minutes anyway) but I'm kinda tired so I'm not freaking out too much just starting to think about what I needed to do to fix all that stuff. Most of my ID (sans passport) is in my wallet and at the moment so is my SIN (note to self: change that) so I was a little worried. Yeah. Anyway before my brain can wake up enough to get really freaked out L comes by to tell me that we got a call at home from the Police Department that someone had turned in my wallet(!!!) and suddenly there's no need to freak out. I went down to get it from the Police HQ on my lunch break and absolutely everything was in it, even the thirty dollars in cash. Apparently the woman who found it was a tourists and didn't want to leave her name, but good thoughts go in her direction nonetheless.
Also I was going to go to the Fort today because B told me to and apparently if I ask after him (or my other friends in the Gaurd) then I can get in for free! But I don't think I'm going because I am le tired and I have a dentist (bleagh!) appointment at 14.45 and don't really have the time to rush it. Will find another opportunity before I bugger off to Uni half-way across the country.
I really enjoyed the SG-1, but then again I've always been a fan of the really good stand-alones (although with SG-1 the good stand-alones always take elements from the rest of the show etc). I love that now it's General Landry forcing them to have downtime (but he's friends with Jack so that has to have something to do with it) and him teasing Mitchell with the ducks and making fun of Mitchell's snoring. The poker game was awesome!! And so was Colonel Renolds asking Vala to make way for the amatures! Sidebar character love!
My only beefs: they didn't mention that the teams were using the Sohdan cloaking devices until Sam figured out that they had something to do with it. Although they did show the funny blue from the cloaked person's perspective, but that just made me think that this creature had some kind of cloaking feature and maybe that was where the Sohdan had got it from or something. Or maybe somebody put a cloaking device on the beasty to make it cause havok. Beef #2: Daniel, and it's not that I missed him (okay I did but that wasn't part of the beef I can handle missing him) but I don't like the excuse. Last week it was "he's playing in Merlin's library", yes cool, that works. But this week it's "he's playing in somebody in England's library who has stuff on the Ancients". They should've left him off world, or at least had a little more explaination. It's all way more effective when you can see Daniel doing his kid-in-a-candy-store thing surrounded by dusty volumes.
And SGA:
I thought meh. There were some really good bits, but I didn't like their choice for the lead replicator dude. He seemed pinched around the edges. It took me a while to realize that the escpae thing wasn't really happening, trust Sheppard's torture to be the most realistic (and involve a puddle jumper).
My beefs with this one: WTF Weir? You're in charge, you are not the first wave. This annoys me with all Captains (well in charge people, but my brain was currently zipping over into Star Trek territory), but with her especially because she's not a warrior at all so she's just a liability to the team if bad stuff happens. Bah! And Replicators have to have the legos! It's just not right without them!
Don;t get me wrong though, even with beefs there is far more love! LOVE! I am not a fan of the complainy fans. Please tell me if I start to cross the line.
And the 200th episode of Stargate is this friday!!! *is so much excited* Also apparently there's a making of that's on right before it. I hope someone puts that up to download too because I'd like to see it. Am n3rd.
And in order to make myself a total martyr to the SciFi community: I really like Enterprise! I've just started season three and the entire lighting scheme has gone more contrasty and dark to proove that the situation is more dire. In the same vein Archer's hair is no really short and dark because it doesn't have the fluffy light bits on top. I think it makes his nose look bigger but I've determined that I like men with big noses (Archer, Mulder, Methos, Faramir...) so that's fine by me! Also Trip being so angsty that he's getting emotional advice from Malcom makes me really happy.
And now: Coffee.

Date: 2006-08-14 05:34 pm (UTC)From:Enterprise fandom disappoints me, though, with its lack of Trip/Malcom for s3 and 4. True, they interact less, but when they do interact they're slashy as hell (zomg the Klingon Retcon plot arc), and true there's a het ship, but srsly that's never bothered anybody else. (I keep shouting at fandom in the abstract: In my day we had to deal with het ships uphill both ways in the snow! (http://jenavira.livejournal.com/586180.html#cutid1) And then all these people apparently turned into McShep people. Go figure.)
Er. I shall stop embarassing myself by fandoming Enterprise now. *slinks away*

Date: 2006-08-14 05:50 pm (UTC)From:And Malcolm is so gay! Even if he's not with Trip or whatever his agressive heterosexuality doesn't fool me! The Trip/T'Pol thing, no matter how much they try, just doesn't work for me. I mean I could see T'Pol/Archer but...
We can embarass ourselves together.
(and have I mentioned before how much I LOVE that icon? Teal'c love.)

Date: 2006-08-14 06:32 pm (UTC)From:Malcom does flame a bit doesn't he? It's one of his most endearing qualities. That and the way he always wants to blow something up. (What's the episode where they find an abandoned Klingon ship and Hoshi says "I think this says 'photon torpedoes.'" and Malcom is all "Photon torpedoes! What? Where?!?" <3) I concur on the T'Pol/Archer; they're both just weirded out enough by the idea to make it deeply amusing. :) The Trip/T'Pol only gets worse and worse and worse. I would not read fanfic with that plot. I am fairly sure I have, in fact, avoided reading fanfic with that plot. And then she asks him home to meet her parents.
In the name of Teal'c love, I have just made and uploaded this icon. (SG-1 poker night ftw!)

Date: 2006-08-14 10:14 pm (UTC)From:Oh! That's where I know him from! Which episode of B5 is it? I can picture the face without the blue now, but I'm blanking on the name and such-like. I also had much fun when the guy who played Al on Quantum Leap was the bad guy who locked up Archer and Malcolm in the prison. I think that's one of the things I like most about SciFi tv: small pool of actors.
Am definately dreading the Trip/T'Pol stuff. Honestly I have been since I first heard about it. Sigh.
SG-1 poker!!! Squee!

Date: 2006-08-15 01:00 am (UTC)From:Enterprise's guest-actor pool is hilarious and eternally entertaining. Everyone's been in another Trek, sometimes as the same character, and usually in either B5 or Buffy or something as well. (The guy who wants to help found the Federation is the Mayor from s3 Buffy! The Mayor! Of course you can't trust him, you idiots, he's going to turn into a giant snake at any moment!)
I was going to say the Trip/T'Pol stuff wasn't that bad after a while, and then I watched the last three episodes. Head, meet desk. (But the Mirror Universe eps? Hi-freakin'-larious. And Malcom and Trip are still very gay together in the Mirror Universe. Even in the Mirror Universe, people!)
And then I watched the finale, and yes, it is true, there is a scene where Jolene Blalock looks like she's trying to kill Jonathan Frakes with her brain. You can hardly blame her.
