OK, so sometimes this journal is going to be about Stargate: Atlantis, and David Hewlett's amazing ass (seriously, guys, if I thank this fandom for nothing else, thanks for that--wow!). And sometimes it's going to be about cooking and recipes and food experiments and like that. And maybe sometimes it will be about Mr. Helene and the Demon Offspring.
On the Stargate Atlantis front, I just finished Underground and can I say how great that ep is? Love how Rodney follows Sheppard down INTO THE UNDERGROUND BUNKER against all his self preservation instincts. Also how weird it was to see Transporter Chief O'Brian in his neo-nazi getup? Yes, I just dated myself, I am old enough to have watched Next Generation AS IT AIRED.
About the food: I love to cook--and my friends and family are kind enough to say that I'm good at it. I love trying new recipes, tweaking old ones, making stuff up. So, as that happens in my life, I'll probably post about it, if anything interesting happened. Like the time I was making linguini with clams and vermouth and almost burned all my hair off. That was fun. The linguini was good, too. Tonight, I'm trying this thing with smoked paprika and mackerel and bread crumbs from a new cookbook. Should be interesting.
One administrative thing I should warn y'all about--there's probably going to be a lot of fucking profanity in this journal. I used to swear a lot, then we had kids and I had to lock it down (I dunno, I thought my three year old saying "what the hell is that?" was pretty funny. Strangely, the rest of my family didn't agree). This does not come naturally to me, so I've decided that this journal is going to be the Free Helene zone. Not that I'm going to go out of my way to curse, but I'm not going to censor myself either. Beware.
That's all I've got right now, except that if you're into SGA, you should go to sheafrotherdon's journal and share with the rest of us what you love about SGA. All the cool kids are doing it. Sorry there's no link, I haven't figured out how to do that yet.
Cheers.
