1.  One of my coworkers has us voting all night on one of those little girl beauty pageants.  I feel like I have sold my soul as I utterly despise those things, but I have been promised free food.

2.  Remember my mentioning a coworker named Meghan Marx?   When I got my paystub today, I didn't even look, just grabbed it and went back to my desk.

"Enthralling reading-it's like Jane Austen playing Dungeons & Dragons with Eragon's Christopher Paoline."

Dude, that's the most insulting thing I've read all day.

That was my reaction when I saw it...and it's the quote right above the book description (it's ok Lawrence and Tereraire, I know you're far, far superior to those other 2...)

See, this is why you need to choose the 'Super Saver Shipping' option when ordering from Amazon.

[meganbmoore]

I have amazon prime and chose the option for having as many items as possible arrive in one shipment.

[fairest1]

Yeah, that works. Hm. Well, I'll chalk it up as just being pretty frickin' weird.

Tangently, I wish my grandmother could get some perspective on my Amazon habits -- I ordered four books off of Amazon marketplace, they arrived seperately, and she got upset at me spending all my money on books (which were a penny plus shipping).

I'm reading the Novik book too ... it isn't grabbing me really hard, but it certainly doesn't deserve that cover blurb. Gotta agree with magicnoire - that's one of the most insulting things I've read recently. Dude, even my 15-yr-old thinks Paolini is lame!!!

I'm loving the Novik book(I just love Temeraire, really) but I'm not ripping through it like I did the first three books. I read each other the first three in as close to one sitting as I could, while I stopped this one to read Yurara after finishing part one.

5. How lost will I be if I watch season 1 of Stargate: Atlantis only having seen s1-4 of SG-1?

Sadly, probably pretty lost. They don't even find the outpost that eventually leads them to Atlantis until the season 7 finale. I'd say that's when you'll be safe to start Atlantis (even though it officially starts closer to . Some majorly critical things happen around SG1 s5-7 that will probably be very confusing otherwise.

[ladysaotome]

When I say lost - actually, now that I think about it - you're probably safe to watch the first Atlantis season just fine. Things might get a little confusing in season 2, though, but not so confusing that it'll spoil you or anything.

[meganbmoore]

Ah. I assumed as much. I shall place it on hold(though I think I know some of the things you're referring to...like Daniel)

[ladysaotome]

In that case, go for it. Because of the distance & lack of interaction with earth, the series don't really begin to cross much until season 4.
