Friday TV Update.

This update I should be able to keep. Honestly the only one that could be in trouble is the one for Sunday. My Mondays are just mucho busy. (Of course, Sunday contains Charmed which my readership seems most interested in.) Again, it may be weeks until I know for sure.

Stargate SG-1 had been rather dull, relatively speaking, the last couple of weeks. Last night, it came back with an episode that will have ramifications perhaps through the rest of the season. For the third week in a row, Carter was central to the story. I'm not complaining. In fact, I wish Amanda Tapping's navel ring was Air Force issue...The camera work in the scene where you see her bleeding and the super-soldier tracking a trail of blood that turns out to be another person, not Carter, was awesome. I do have a complaint, though. Carter had a huge gash in her leg and could barely walk at times. Her adrenaline must have been flowing like mad when she easily leaped over a pile of rocks.

Now, I said this episode would have ramifications for awhile. This is due to the alliance between Jaffa, Tok'ra and the humans coming to an end. This actually makes sense. The Jaffa probably do feel that they traded one master for another even though it isn't the case. They've been trained all their lives to follow the orders of "false gods" and probably view the world as such. Doing things for themselves for awhile may do them some good. Bra'tac wasn't in this episode to give his two cents so we'll have to see what happens.

The Tok'ra are right in their worries that this alliance ultimately affects them adversely. The old Dorito motto in the Jay Leno years, "Crunch all you want, we'll make more." doesn't apply to them because they don't reproduce sexually as the other two groups (Well, they did but the mother is dead.) do. They must stop keeping secrets from their allies, however. The old ways may have worked for them, survival-wise, but as Jacob pointed out they've eliminated more Go'auld in the last 7 years because of the alliance then the previous 700 hundred years by themselves. I find it hard to believe the Jacob/Selmac is the only Tok'ra who notices this. Could this lead to a Tok'ra civil war of sorts? That could be cool.

In other news, I was just watching VH-1's Fresh New Music. I only saw two videos that were actually "new." Not only was the Jessica Simpson video not new, it really makes no sense. Ok, technically I'm referring to the song not the video but whatever. To me, if she was walking around "with only a tee-shirt on," I'd be extra helpful and kind too. That ain't love honey...I mean she took the stand that she wasn't going to have sex until she got married and then suddenly Nick proposes. It's not "rocket surgery" here...

Ok, I must shower and start my day...

The Neglected Blog

With the discovery of the time-waster that is Facebook, I find I no longer need to waste my time here. This is mainly why I haven't done any quizzes or other memes here in a cat's age. (I'm not a dog person...) They're all over there. Also why tell you all about what's not going on in my life when I can better waste time by making fake money off Lindsay Lohan's hi-jinks? Added to that, you can regularly follow the mundaness that is my life on Twitter. I don't want to say I'll never blog again. Frankly, this site and I have chronicled much over the years and I'm not ready to give it up fully. Every so often, something comes up worth sharing. Case in point, Thursday night, there was a retirement celebration for our outgoing OT professor complete with a guest lecturer from Boston, dinner and a vesper service designed by the professor herself. It was good Thai food, though admittedly not my favorite Asian cuisine, and saw many people I knew. My parents c...

Rant and Update

First off, I must ask: Where the bloody hell is my copy of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows ? I ordered the thing five days ago! I'm going to start reading spoilers soon! I really want to read this book! Anyway, so I'm still volunteering at the library. We're in the middle of an inventory now. I've also looked in the catalog, one, to see if we had certain new books already and, two, if we did, to see which branch. This week, I've been assigning call numbers to new books. I haven't done that at all since school and that was Library of Congress (LC) classification anyway while here they use Dewey and Cutter numbers. Tomorrow, I won't be going in as the librarian is out today and tomorrow and I did all the work she left for me already.

The Big E and Other Commentary

Last night, we went to the Big E up in West Springfield. It was apparently Connecticut Day so the parade was all CT all the time. It was the longest parade I have ever watched. It went on like forever. We got a baked potato at the Maine Building and a Spiced Apple Cider Donut at the Vermont building as well as sharp cheese called "The Preacher." I wanted to get "The Green Mountain Boys" which was supposedly XX-sharp but my father wouldn't go for it. We then went to the Sam Adams Beer Garden where I ordered an Octoberfest. Mine was 20 ounces so it looked huge compared to the little cups of chardonnay my parents ordered. We then went over to get the special Big E cream puff. Has anyone heard Clay Aiken's new song? He's covering Badfinger's "Without You" of all things and, I really hate say this, it's pretty good... We're having another Movie Night a week from tomorrow. We've decided today that we're going to watch Akeela...
