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...

This Is Where I Was And Will Be Again

These are pictures from my first trip down to Southwest Florida this past October. The 'rents and I are going back down tomorrow so I thought I'd give all one of you a clue to where I was. This is a local park called Ponce De Leone Park. I like this shot because it shows some differences between down there and up here. There's some pretty tacky homes down there. Some homes, maybe that one, are worth about a million dollars and don't look much more interesting than that. By the way, we hope to see a real manatee or two this time... This is Gilchrist Park. That water in the lower left corner is actually part of a big fountain. Again, this shot shows a big difference in climate from up here. Interestingly, this park has the more extravagant Ponce De Leone statue/monument. Weird... We will probably visit this park again at least once while we're down. The theme of differences continues here, al beit morbidly. I had to get a shot of this as it amused me. (Although the ...

Remind Me

Remind me to complain how boring and unexciting my life more often because as soon as I did, it got really exciting really fast. Last night, we had four visitors arrive from Korea. They like ziti and garlic bread. Go figure. They will be staying until Sunday night. I told my mother (AKA Hyacinth Bucket) she was making way too much salad but did she listen? No. Now we have this huge-ass bowl of salad in the fridge...What's really irritating is first the fork we use to serve catfood went missing now Susie's dish is missing as well... Tomorrow, I have a physical to prepare for my surgery then I go to my orthopedist's to fill out consent forms. Woo Hoo! I hope I can find time for a haircut as well because... Friday, I have a job interview at a library in Massachusetts! It's a reference job but I also will be conducting a book group. I've never done that but it sounds really fun. Sure, I'll be stuck reading many book that sucks but isn't that what book group i...

Thank You Al Stewart

Well, I'm back from taking care of all those cats. It was actually one cat who had the the run of most of the house and 9 others that stayed in one bedroom; two of which I never saw the whole time. The biggest challenge was changing the litter boxes twice a day. One of the littlest kittens escaped from the room about a half dozen times and was harder and harder to catch. I spent most of my time watching old TV series and movies. I watched episodes of: Magnum PI including the pilot, Hunter including an episode the DVD box hyped had Ed O'Niell in it but also included "Fran McDormand" who perhaps is more well known, Charlie's Angels including the episode that aired originally the day I was born which also happens to be Jaclyn Smith's birthday..., Quantum Leap , Remington Steele , Sledge Hammer , Father Dowling and The Avengers . All series Lady Vader probably doesn't remember since she was under six when they originally aired. (OK, The Avengers and...
