Holly busy! I have been so busy I forgot to email Kailey the final questions I wanted to ask her…just sent them today in hopes that she’d send them back in time but luckily she came on and answered them and we talked for a bit! She really awesome…it gonna be so fun!
Anyway, Gred lent me one of her SG disks so I could watch an episode of SG which Ned thinks is essential. So far I’ve watched both of the other episodes featured on the disk. Threads is awesome! What’s with Anubis being played by a fat, balding fellow who reminds me of Santa gone irritating/ evil?! Holly Jam Shipage!!! And I knew Sam’s dad was going to die but it was still sad! (tear) but it did allow for a cute Jam moment (sigh):
Sam: Thank you, sir.
Jack: For what?
Sam: For being here for me.
Jack: Always.
HA! Talking about SG, I was recently telling Ned how the song "Tubthumping" by Chumbawamba would be a perfect Daniel Jackson video and that I was going to suggest it to a vid maker. You know that song, the one that goes ‘Oh danny boy Danny boy Danny boy...I get knocked down But I get up again You’re never going to Keep me down’. I was surfing the web for SG vids and came across this
http://cherrybrandy4.tripod.com/! It was so funny cuz of my conversation with Ned that I actually fell out of my chair and scared my guinea pig so bad he started running laps around his cage! Holly weird! It won a bunch of awards too! I’m so freaking intelligent! Ohh and I am currently reading Dr. Jackson’s diaries and thoroughly enjoying them! Ha, so funny! But am wondering whether Ned is trying to increase my affinity with Danny Boy by encouraging these types of activities! I mean seriously, the largest favourites folder I have contains solely SG sites!!
In case this top part confused you: I am doing an Easter themed entry (the user pic sorta gives it away!) and proceed in doing so!
In Alberta, the band is participating in a dance at a club named Planet X where they are astounded to find the cast of Stargate dancing it out while under the influence of alcohol. Daniel and Teal’c are the worst affected, Daniel spending most of the time doing a chicken-like dance while Teal’c starts to flirt with inanimate objects including various bar stools and the chareoke machine. At around midnight, Daniel suddenly feels sick and runs towards the bathroom. Not seeing Micheal in the group, Lyndsey attempts to speak with Teal’c who is now making a move on a coat stand:
Lyndsey: I'm in Planet 'X' lookin' for a dweeb who wears green fatigues. He wears glasses.
[puts her hands around her eyes]
Teal’c: [puts his hands around his eyes copying Lyndsey, almost falling over]
Lyndsey: He has long hair.
[puts her hand to her head and brings it down]
Teal’c: [salutes and grabs the coat stand to balance himself]
Lyndsey(obliviously continuing): And he [pretends to sneeze] sneezes.
Teal’c: Ich! [clucks like a chicken]
Lyndsey: Chicken. Chicken! Yes, Chicken Man!
(This one is easter-ish cuz it involves chicken! It’s a quote from SG movie when O’Neil is looking for Daniel…i think for different reasons than Lyndsey but you never know!)
Suddenly, plans for the trip were changed so that two other Ontario bands were now traveling with the band. Incidently, Allyson falls madly in love with one of the band’s percussionists who is actually related to one of the band directors in one way or another! Arriving in Spirit River, the bands were met by local dignitaries who presented each band president with an egg and a riddle explaining how their band will use the egg to perform an age-old tradition at the town’s annual concert.
Allyson: Katie, you told me you'd figured the egg out hours ago. The task is two days from now.
Katie: Really? I had no idea. I suppose Viktor's(name of Allyson’s fling) already figured it out.
Allyson: Wouldn't know. We don't actually talk about the egg. Actually, we don't really talk at all. Viktor's more of a physical being. I just mean he's not particularly loquacious. Mostly, he watches me practice. It's a bit annoying, actually. You are trying to figure this egg out, aren't you?
Katie: What's that supposed to mean?
Allyson: It just means these tasks are designed to test you...in the most brutal way. They're almost cruel. And...I'm scared for him. He got by the dragons mostly on nerve. I'm not sure it's going to be enough this time.
Cedric Diggory(another president): Hey, Scott! Scott! (7 males and Katie turn their heads in his direction until Cedric specifies which one)
Katie: Cedric.
Cedric Diggory: How--? How are you?
Katie: Spectacular.
Cedric Diggory: Look, I realize I never really thanked you properly for tipping me off about that key signature change at 56.
Katie: Forget about it. I'm sure you would've done the same for me.
Cedric Diggory: Exactly. You know the Presidents' bathroom on the fifth floor? It's not a bad place for a bath. Just take your egg and...mull things over in the hot water.
(I think at that point I would have slapped him! This quote is very easter-ish since it is centered on the word egg and is obviously from HP and GoF)
In alberta, at the combined practice, the band members bring forth to the band directors a string player who was perfending to be a brass.
Mr. Mills: There are ways of telling whether she is a string player.
Allyson: Are there? Oh well, tell us.
Mr Mills: Tell me. What do you do with string players?
Allyson: drown her.
Mr Mills: And what do you burn, apart from string players?
Allyson: More string players.
Lyndsey: cats.
Mr Mills: Good. Now, why do string players burn?
Kaylea: ...because they're made of... cats?
Mr Mills: Good. So how do you tell whether she is made of bunnies?
Allyson: Build a band rooms out of her.
Mr. Mills: But can you not also build band rooms out of hares?
Allyson: Oh yeah.
Mr. Mills: Do bunnies burn in fire?
Allyson: No, no, they don’t burn!... they don’t burn! Throw her into the fireplace (which every Alberta band has strategically located somewhere close to the band room)!
Mr. Mills: No, no. What else does not burns in fire?
Allyson: oboe reeds!
Lyndsey: woodwind instruments!
Kaylea: conductor batons!
Jillian: arpeggios!
Kelly: spit valves!
Allison K: very big ligatures!
Jillian: time signatures!
Kaylea: festival music!
Allison K: Scales! Scales!
Ms. Nicholson: A piano tuner. (dragging a man[the piano tuner] in from the hall)
Mr. Mills: ...Exactly. So, logically...
Allyson: If she weighed the same as a piano tuner... she's made of bunnies.
Mr Mills: And therefore...
Lyndsey: ...A string player!
(I changed this one so it included bunnies but before it included ducks so its Easter-ish….ohh and its Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail)
More to come after the trip! These are so fun to write!
