I had a kind of cranky day until around suppertime (TA assignments are out and my fellow TAs and I are being forced to work out our section assignments on our own, and yeah, apparently that well of rage hasn't run dry yet), but I brought my old, old computer home from campus where it's been all year as the first step in moving out of my office ( Read more... )

To Do, August 2010

( Immediately... )

Life... update... so very necessary, but evening so very advanced. Maybe tomorrow?

Anyway, I just watched the third episode in season 1 of Stargate SG-1, "Emancipation," which has Space Mongols and Earth People saving the Space Mongols from their "barbaric" customs in the last minute of the episode, and skeevy gender dynamics, not all of them ( Read more... )

So, as promised, for anyone following along with my giant to-do list of August doom and today's smaller to-do list spinoff, life update. I haven't posted in days!

So, some points of interest:

OMG. Stargate: Atlantis went there.

Please tell me the entire female team of pure awesome aren't going to turn out to be redshirts.

So, I'm back from Kelowna. I'm done shopping for ever, for real this time, but I have a sweater and some dress-ish pants and a pair of organic free-range cotton fair-trade blue jeans, which are, in addition to all that, pretty hot. Excellent ( Read more... )

Starbucks Newton Center is getting the axe, but thankfully for my soul, which it increasingly owns, not to mention for my continued appreciation of Hot Starbucks Guy, Starbucks Brighton Village will continue its money- ( Read more... )

So you know, there is other stuff going on, like flying home tomorrow and my last few days in Boston with Morgayne, but OMG.

Stargate Continuum.

Never happened. Seriously. Don't talk to me unless you want to help me with my handwaving.

I'll review it for reals later. For now, Stargate, how can you do this to me?

Okay, so, Stargate Atlantis season premiere. Let's see how confused I can be, not having seen the end of Season 4...

AND WHAT IS UP WITH THIS OPENING SCENE? ( THIS CANNOT BE REAL... )

So far today it's been lovely and warm, if somewhat windy, here. It might be gearing up to storm later, and shame on me, I haven't been out in it at all, but it's been nice nevertheless. I'm currently cooking a Nova Scotia hodgepodge for supper - the soup version out of Simply in Season, not the veggies smothered in butter and sour cream that's ( Read more... )
