Conversations with a madwoman

Rodney: "Hey, at least I didn't declassify Pluto from planet status. Way to make all the little kids cry, Neil. That make you feel like a big man?" To the actual Neil deGrasse Tyson's face


.......so much win I can't even.

SWEET MERCIFUL JESUS ON A HOT DOG!

I swear to god, if the movie doesn't deliver something at least as damned good as the s1/s2 Siege trilogy, I'm gonna go over there and stomp someone's testicles into a fine paste. 'Cos that leadup is too farkin' awesome to waste.

Season 5 has been more than a bit dodge in places, but god damn, they really pulled it all out here. And I'm left with the vague wondering if they're going to be moving towards a DW-esque "common knowledge" thing in regards to the SGC after all this. There's no way this could conceivably be swept under the carpet.

Snagged the pre-air eps of SGA (Vegas and Enemy at the gate)

...let me just say that with the former? Holy SHIT the crack is strong. And I've never laughed so hard at someone listening to Marilyn Manson in my life

EDIT: That was actually a rather clever way to lead into the series finale. And there's no possible way you can go wrong with a metal-loving hot topic goth Wraith packing a sub-machine gun :D


Although I do suspect they've been raiding wraithbait for storylines again

Ahh jesus. They really are fucking desperate, aren't they? WHO IS WRITING THIS SHIT??

That was a well good SGA Ep :D

YAAAAAAY It’s going back to non-suckiness!

I love swapmeets. I do.

I now have a lovely new 19inch monitor, a new webcam, an ATX power supply tester, a micro screwdriver set, a gorgeous new USB 2.0 hub and a tripod for my camera ^_^

And picked up the last piece for the Jactop.

mmm. Consumer whoring. Such a wonderful thing :D

1400x 900 res..this is gonna take getting used to....

In other news, they've released the new S2 Stargate figures. Is it just me, or are they even shittier than the last batch? Jesus christ, Teyla looks like a stoned barbie, and Rodney looks....shit, oddly like Trip. o.O

Doing horribly girly things. Like buying outrageously fancy conditioner and shizz. I haven't had my hair this long in so long, I'd forgotten its natural tendency to ringlet. I'm curious, so I'm encouraging it. (Plus it frizzes like a hedgehog, hence the outrageously fancy conditioner and shampoo to try and cut down on the Chia Pet Effect) Fuck me, I'm even braiding it now it's got the length to do so.

Oh dear. Next thing you know, I'll be owning makeup. *shash*


In other idle banter, I was rereading At The Mountains of Madness by H.P Lovecraft. You know, given its relative position to McMurdo (mentioned in the novella) and the travel time and calculating for advances in travel technology....I'm not sure if it's intentional or not, but the SGC Artic Base seen in Atlantis (and the original departure point for the city itself) would be roughly where the Citadel of the Elder Things was.....

Heh. Now that is seriously cool :D

EDIT: LJ and GY hath spoiled me. If I hand a cow-orker a slip of paper with explicit instructions (Uninstall product A, go to URL B, install product C) and they STOP TO ASK ME QUESTIONS when it falls outside the neat little parameters (eg: there's a sub-product of Product A installed as well) instead of, you know, applying some sort of common sense or capacity for recollection (LIKE WHEN I FUCKING WELL TOLD YOU TO RIP OUT ALL THE CISCO SOFTWARE, REGARDLESS OF NAME) , I wonder if they are idiots.

The sad thing is, I'm probably right. Being surrounded by intelligent professionals and decent techs spoils you for the mundane idiocy....

( Stuff on SGA S4...no real spoilers, one castmember, nothing that can't be inferred from existing canon )

*grumbles*

In other news, something I'd gotten many many moons ago and had forgotten about came today! Short Trips: Monsters, Short Trips: A Universe of Terrors and Short Trips: Farewells *paggledances*

Ooh, they're all hardcovers too! *squee*

Being a spoiler whore, I already had an idea what was going to happen. And I won't spoil anything for anyone who hasn't seen it.....But I spent the entire ep wavering between *squee!* and "I don't want to watch this"

And now I'm all woobie.

(but man, that end zoom out from the east pier....nice.)

Irreverent side note: Holy shit Zelenka looks weird all neat and scrubbed

( Incoherent fangirly SQUEE )

EDIT: Forgot to add: So glad they're letting DH's hair grow long again. Looks better all floofy :)
