It's funny. Doctor Who was my first fandom, way back when I was 12 and stayed up late to see Peter Davison on PBS. I've been watching the revival since it premiered, and now I'm feeling fannish again. It's been a long dry spell since BSG ended, and maybe I'm falling for this show (again) because I love that feeling of being wrapped up in a TV show ( Read more... )

1. Well, those allergies turned out to be a bonafide cold or virus or whatever. (I can never tell them apart.) I've been sick all weekend. Congestion, skin sensitivity, headaches, a bit of a fever, and total fatigue. I did buy a neti pot; while it helped a little, it wasn't as effective as I'd hoped. I seem to be over the worst of it now, but I ( Read more... )

1. What is it about school vacations that makes me want to cook and cook? Especially since the results seldom turn out well. But! Yesterday I had a strange yen to make bread, so I started poking around online for a good recipe. Despite my not being Jewish (or even really Christian anymore, for that matter), I found myself making challah! And ( Read more... )

1. After some reflection, I'm coming around to the not-entirely-okay-with-the-finale side of things. Still not bitter, even if I've read some very, very good arguments from those who were disappointed. (I might be getting close to heartbroken, though.) I guess I'm somewhere in between, seeing and sympathizing with both sides without being able ( Read more... )

I've finally mastered the art of making the baby giggle at me; therefore, today ranks as a success. Then again, maybe he's giggling AT me, in which case.... ;)

Once again, there's talk of another X-Files movie. Several friends have asked my opinion, given that XF was my first big fandom; hell, I was hardcore for nearly five years. I stuck ( Read more... )

I spent most of today at a conference, which was great because it felt like a day off. Definitely a good thing, since my students have been wearing on my last nerve. On the plus side, next week is Spring Break -- I'm flying to Dallas to see my new nephew! And when I get back, I'll have only seven and a half more weeks until summer vacation. ( Read more... )

(Posting twice in one night? Wow. I'm so darn prolific.)

greycoupon found another new radio interview with Katee Sackhoff that took place either last night or tonight. You can download it here. Warning: it contains some HUGE SPOILERS, even on that download page. Sorry! Here are the ( NON-spoilery highlights. )

I am really, really slow on the uptake. ( Mild spoilers, mostly re: casting. )

Random things that are currently annoying me ( Read more... )

writercon is apparently in full swing! I'll probably head over there in an hour or two. I like having it in my own city -- I can meet all these fabulous new people, then come back here and be totally alone again. As I get older, I find myself appreciating *quiet* and being alone a lot more.

Last night I had a lovely dinner with scarlettgirl and timeofchange, in which we kept ( Read more... )
