It was Mum’s birthday yesterday (the 8th). I said: “What is this? Your 35th birthday?”. Add ten years to that and you have the true figure. If it makes her feel old, it makes me feel aptly mature (I suppose). Poor Mum. She already has grey hair and I know that often gets her down, but she has lupus and a host of other problems (I’m not exaggerating ( Read more... )

I think I’m your regular capitalist liberal. I expected some along these lines.

Reckoning part two (Stargate SG-1) is officially one of my most favourite episodes ever. It is THE best season eight episode.

I haven’t reviewed anything in the Archive for more than two weeks. How sad is that? I can’t get to the Archive right now, so I’ll mass claim some stuff later.

Battlestar Galactica rocks my socks. I saw the premiere of the new series last night - “33”. I liked it more than the mini-series - although nothing can top the secret revealed at the end ( Read more... )

In the presence of Jayen and Bel, I named all the American States!

I aced the challenge!

Thank you for your disbelief in me, you two ;). But since I’ve muchly impressed you now, it’s all forgotten :p.

Parents lost the Small Claims case, which means they have to pay upwards of $1500. Mum said classified that as “around the amount needed to buy a laptop”. I guess she meant I would not be getting a new laptop soon.

So… I’ve been taking daily walks with Miska (one of our dogs) lately. Mind you, it’s still 30 something degrees in the afternoon. It usually takes me about 15 minutes to do a kilometre or so around our neighbourhood. Over the back of us, there’s true suburbia - new houses, dogs, kids, usually more than one car or maybe a minivan. It’s like stepping ( Read more... )

Battlestar Galactica: The Miniseries blew my mind. I was so emotionally moved by it. I just kept saying “oh my god”. It was just so damn sad, but it’s not as if I didn’t expect that. The most dramatic moment for me was when the FTL capable ships jumped and left the sub-lights to the Cylons. There was no other choice.

It was just so damn good. And ( Read more... )
