Reason #1,873 I love the Stargate franchise: they get fandom. Not only that, but they love making fun of it.

From a recent fan-submitted Q&A with SG-1/SGA Executive Producer Robert Cooper:

Q: What race owned the mysterious ship that appeared in "Grace ( Read more... )

My weekend got off to a bodacious and face-rocking start when I went and experienced the hard-core awesomeness that is AC/DShe, an all-girl AC/DC cover band. They played in Monterey last night, and lo, they did rock mightily. Not only are they hot, but they totally wail, 'specially their lead singer Bonny Scott (heh heh). And the lead guitarist ( Read more... )

Okayokayokay. So Doggett has been giving me dirty looks from his security post on my dresser, and I couldn't figure out why until canis_m put this up and I remembered that I never posted Doggett's first mission report. Strap yourself in and read on...if you dare.

( It's 100% pure adrenaline! )

So the past two weekends were all about the music. Suddenly, I was going to concerts right and left!

Reel Big Fish was Reel Big Fun and all that, but turns out that they were preceded by three crazy punk bands! And you know what dat means: mosh pit! ( Boot to the head! )

Aaaand we're back. This is a little overdue, but, here are the holidays in review. Christmas really started back when I came home from work last month to a mysterious package. The return address was cryptically nothing more than "Alan". (Not quite MR. CHN, but close.) I opened up the box, and beheld what very well may be the most awesometastic ( Read more... )

We got DSL! We got DSL! At long last, my days of dial-up are OVER. MWAHAHAHAHAHAAAA! Within 30 seconds of hooking up little LoJu here, I proceeded over to abitof to start downloading Seasons 2 & 4 of ABOF&L. Finally I will have them all! Next up: vids! All the vids I can stand! Followed and/or simultaneously with music! Loads of music! And I am ( Read more... )

Well, I'm not dead. Had a good Christmas, etc. More on that later, but first: greetings from sunny Florida! I'm here chilling in the styling condo of one canis_m, sl0ring her on SGA while she sl0res me on the new Dr. Who. We've hit the beach, drunk mai tais, and generally lazed around on our butts for two days. But while we've been maxin' and ( Read more... )

Only a week until Christmas! Eeeee! Actually, make that AIIIEEEEEEEE! I still have the bulk of my shopping left to do. Round 1 was yesterday, and in the true Christmas spirit, I bought as much stuff for myself as I did for others. D'oh! PLUS they just put a goddamn Hot Topic in our mall, and since I'm so weak-minded, I went in. And bought ( Read more... )

Why do I feel compelled to finish a book, even though I hate it? Why must I plow through to the end, when what I really want to do is fling the damn thing across the room? Maybe because I hate the thought of all that effort wasted. I think, "I've come this far, I might as well finish it." Even if it's misery. GRAH. RRG! Case in point: I just ( Read more... )

Another Thanksgiving under the belt, so to speak. Went home, saw the family, spent quality time with my sisters, and gorged myself. Once on Thanksgiving, and again two days later at the Annual Potato Pancake Feast prepared by my best friend's family. Travel to and from Chicago was harrowing: I almost missed my flight out of Monterey, and then ( Read more... )
