gateslackerSince everyone has gone from talking to one another to talking at one another, I decided I better jump on the bandwagon or get left behind. As to what I am going to say, well, we shall see.
I guess the first order of business, and well it should be, is the renewal of Stargate for season nine! Can I get a WOOHOO??? I know that some of you have your wellfounded reservations but, as for me, I want the ride to continue until I am ready to puke and demand to be let off...LOL! What can I say, I am excited about the whole thing. I doesn't help that Stargate is one of the only shows I watch on television other than HGTV which I have been DVR-ing of late. Why didn't I become an interior designer or something? But, I digress. Where was I? Stargate! (as if I could forget) I think there is so much that they need to tie up that I don't see can be resolved before the end of this season. They really need another season. All I can say is when they do decide to end it, they don't go for the ambiguous artsy-fartsy ending that movies are so fond of and they don't go for another Full Circle. I think that would make me whine and pout for a month or two.
What else is new? Well, I am still enjoying my new job. Funny, that I should enjoy working with elderly people with dementia and other such things. I have this one 98 year old lady who asks me every single day if I am new...and tells me every day how old she is. Of course, I tend to miss all the guts and glory that went with working in the ER but you can't have it all and, right now, a decent schedule is my top priority since my offspring is getting to that age where he wants to be involved in extracurricular activities.
By the way, does anyone know when boys actually hit puberty? Brandon has been more moody of late. I thought I had a few years before teenage drama was an issue. Heaven help me!
Anyway, for those of you who are waiting for a VCD, they are ready to go. I just need to get to the post office to mail them out. And, is Karen's birthday today? Happy Birthday!!!!Hey, will this thing keep up with birthdays?
Well, that's all for now and I suppose it is a start.

Date: 2004-11-17 03:18 am (UTC)Yeah -- that's one thing about LJ that's still kinda weird to me, the aspect of talking generally into the void instead of focusing on an exchange with an individual. Sometimes it weirds me so much that I think about just scrapping the whole thing and going back full-time to my [*gasp*] pen and paper journal, but then I think about how I'm going to miss out on all the news from my friends, and I reconsider.
Anyway, glad to see you here!
And I'm trying to get excited about season 9, but you know that this doesn't bode well for ship. (wah!)

Date: 2004-11-18 01:41 am (UTC)But, I do miss the flurry of e-mails I used to get. At least if I post replies and such I will feel as though I am talking to someone. And, I think it will be great fun to read everyone else's journal and see what is up.
I don't know about the ship...who can tell what is going to happen next.
And this brings me to a question for the day. Should Jack be somewhat incommunicado, could you see ship between Sam and another character (not Pete...LOL). Hypothetically speaking, of course.
I think it would be great fun to see all your responses.

Date: 2004-11-18 02:17 pm (UTC)I'm finding that doesn't bother me so much, especially when I remind myself that should someone respond I'll be getting a copy of that in my email box. No, the part that's been strange for me is finding myself as an observer when two (or more) other folks suddenly begin having a conversation between them in my LJ. No, I don't really mind this. (I tend to like to be the "observer" in conversations anyway.) But it is a little strange, still.

Unless, perchance, we get a scenario where Jack actually retires, and he and Sam live happily ever after. : ) Okay, okay - I realize that particular plot device would actually make some fans go ballistic, but I just prefer to live in hope that it doesn't have to be ALL bad. You know, we hopeless romantics are just so... hopeless.
