Now for something completely different
So the other day I was flipping channels, not in the mood to watch any of the darker shows on my DVR (Justified and Walking Dead) and kind of bored with the Olympics, when I came across a guy on a horse wearing the distinctive red coat of the RCMP. So I stopped - because *Mounties* - and it turned out I was on the Hallmark Channel, and watching their new show "When Calls the Heart". So I'm watching for a bit, and then... is that Colonel Reynolds from SG3 on my TV? OMG, there's Camulus! AND BILL LEE. This show, it's like Stargate alum jackpot! It's based on the Janette Oke books, and produced by Michael Landon Jr. so, you know, pretty overt Christian messaging (fair warning, if that's not your bag), and super family-friendly G rated. But the leads are really quite adorkable and watchable (seriously, Daniel Lissing's smirk is all kinds of dreamy) and I'm already shipping them hard. And Stargate alum! I think I've just fell into another fandom. *headdesk*
And look! Isn't this the lake/valley from SG1 S4x09 "Scorched Earth" and S6x15 "Paradise Lost" and probably others??
It reminds me a lot of Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman, which the BFF and I used to watch religiously when we were in college. And somewhat of Anne of Green Gables. And of a_loquita's awesome Wild West SG1 AU, Cast Your Fate to the Wind.

In other news, Taco has broken/destroyed many things (including large potted plant - dirt strewn all across the living room carpet; tall vase with many small glass beads - again, all over the room; and assorted leather furniture), but is so damn cute that I'm really having a hard time staying mad at him. Really, really, need to get his kitty door installed soon and get him outside.
Also! I got a motorized standing desk last month (so I can quickly switch between standing and sitting), and it's name is JARVIS. I KID YOU NOT. Now if it only talked to me.
