Need to start bringing Maddy to school w/me - every time I hit LJ I end up seeing adult-rated fic, and while I'm 99% certain nobody would actually read over my shoulder, I'm always a week bit paranoid at being caught reading, um, porn, in the school library. At least if I don't manage to get a corner unit. Because no, no - all the Langara library ( Read more... )

Home, intact. The Island was lovely and excellent, and I already miss our cabin's hot tub. (Faildog, for those of you who were wondering, wreaked great havoc at Mum's house. More to come on that later.) Will do big vacation post with pictures tomorrow. Also only managed to get online twice while away, once yesterday while having lunch in Tofino and ( Read more... )

Not that I'm even sure I can afford either or both at this point (NEED JOB NOW), but:

Return flight to San Diego for SDCC, including taxes: $454.56 CAD

Return flight to Toronto for Dexcon, including (my god) taxes: $663.95 CAD

*choking noise*

Of course that's still almost two hundred bucks cheaper than Toronto cost me last year ( Read more... )

I've been watching a lot of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine the last few days, mainly because reading about Stargate: Universe is depressing me. And it's not that I ever actually forget the deep and abiding glee this show inspires in me, it's just that it's the kind of glee you can't really recall properly outside of the present-tense. Admittedly Deep ( Read more... )

First, okay, we joke about how it's a disease, but it's now crossed the line into truly frightening. The apex of my terror, I will not share with you, because that kind of knowledge, you can never un-know. *shudder*

The other thing, though? The Fantastically Cracky Thing that smacked me right in the face the night before last? I have actually ( Read more... )

Oh, GOD. It really is Stargate: Voyager.

Or, as sheafrotherdon put it - and I am now forever going to refer to it - Stargate: 90210.

I mean. "Younger audience," Sci-Fi? "Vibe," Sci-Fi? Really?

Ye gods, they really are under the impression that they can get normal people to watch Stargate, aren't they? o.O

ETA: VIBE. I JUST. WHAT.

Okay, I'm a bad Trekkie. I didn't even know the trailer was up until cesperanza linked it. *hangs head in shame*

A preamble, in which I gush dorkily about things you all know by now: my parents are geeks. We were never taught any particular religion. So the two stories central to my conscious childhood relationship with fiction and metaphor were The Lord of ( Read more... )

So, I bought the SG-1 box set a couple (I think a couple?) of months ago, and have been going through it again, start-to-finish. Haven't watched a lot of these eps in a while, and came across at least a half-dozen in season 9 that I've never seen, probably because I didn't go back and start watching SG-1 intentionally until The Pegasus Project ( ( Read more... )

So apparently the mcshep_match deadline has been changed! Whew. And I got a whole 2,000+ words done on my sgabigbang yesterday, so all in all I am feeling slightly less crunched-up by deadlines today than I was yesterday. I suppose it's a little silly to feel crunched at all, given that they are almost all self-imposed or fandom-imposed, and well, a NORMAL PERSON would ( Read more... )

Okay kids, tickets are now on sale for the annual Vancouver charity screening of Serenity. (If you've been living under a rock and need more information, you can find it here.) It's at UBC this year, at the Norm Theatre, and I'll be buying my batch on Monday. Because I'm a very nice person, I'm offering as always to do a purchase en masse ( Read more... )
