Happy Birthday, Vero! Happy [belated] Birthday, Jems! *cheers*

Christmas trip was very nice -- Marina and I had a plan: do nothing, sleep a lot. Which is what we did.
Okay, we went out to yummy restaurants, we shopped a bit, did the obligatory Dragão do Mar tour, but that was it. No beaches [sun = skin cancer], no tourist traps and before anyone asks, no, I didn't take any pictures. My mother said to tell you people I know in real life that if you want to see Fortaleza, you have to go visit her instead of looking at pictures. Heh.

I have a weird thing about not watching new stuff on Christmas, so I just did a rehash of SGA S1. But then I got angry at the whole Elizabeth thing [again] and so I switched to SG1 S8 [instead of SGA S2] because for some weird reason I'm obsessed with about 12 episodes of that season.
Then on the 26th [it wasn't Christmas anymore], I watched The Ark of Truth. Which, like the whole Ori storyline, was extremely meh. I know I'm bored by something when I don't pause to go to the bathroom. That happened twice during the movie. Still, a few highlights:
. I did a little chair dancing when SG-1 first appeared. A little "OMG people I love doing things I haven't seen yet WHEE!" moment.
. Minimal General Landry appearances. Have I mentioned before how much I LOATHE Landry? 'Cause I do.
. Reynolds! There was a lot of chairdancing for Reynolds as well. Heh.
. The Ori are zzzz boring snore please kill me now, but hi hi hi, old!school Replicators! Also: little I-never-laughed-so-hard-in-my-life-before moment:
In the immortal words of Jack O'Neill: FOR. CRYING. OUT. LOUD.
. Morgan Le Fey vs. Inara Serra = hot. Yes.
. Sam was awesometastically pretty. It's gotta be all the hot sex she's having with Jack.
. And she baked macaroons for Cam. Awww.
And because I wouldn't be me if I didn't do it -- the delay of this movie's release completely screws up with the continuity. Because HI, Sam has been in Atlantis for months and isn't a member of SG-1 anymore. And I was all right fanwanking my way through the whole movie, "oh, she's on special assignment because she's the specialist on the Asgard core of the Odissey" and whatnot. And then comes the final scene with the team going through the wormhole and all I could think was "What? Did they demote Sam already?"
Stupid malfunctioning suspension of disbelief.

QUESTION: a while ago, I remember seeing a thread on someone else's LJ [can't remember who. Or when. Gah.] that had a link to a nifty hand-written timeline for all of Stargate, including all time travel and alternate realities and everything in between. Does anyone know what I'm talking about?
And more importantly, does anyone have a LINK for me? Or maybe saved the hand-written image and could make do with an upload? I'd appreciate it tons. My google-fu is still on vacation, apparently.
