"They saw two black guys and went 'no, go downstairs..."

First, no I'm not watching Continuum on Skifficans. I love my SG-1 and I LOVE Continuum, but I refuse to give Skifficans the satisfaction of getting my undivided attention. I plan to watch it next week on the DVD when they show it again.

Instead, I've spent my evening watching various other things -

Revenging Angel was the first thing (for those of you who understood that cryptic twitter I posted a few hours ago). How I LOVE that episode, made even more awesome by my vigorous revival in the enjoyment of Looney Tunes (I'm a dead moose, after all! XP). It was kinda sucky b/c my DVD *cough* is a bit screwy, so the sound was off a bit and it kept skipping and pausing. No big deal. I have that ep on my comp *cough*, so I can always just watch it on Lord Danny next time.
 
I also watched two of the SG-1 specials on the Special Features disks from the Complete Set. I watched the Beyond the Gate for the second half of S.8 (and S.1 for SGA) - hence the subject line I picked. I particularly watched for THAT part because of something specific that has been a topic of rant/conversation between me and some peeps in the past. Then I watched the Lowdown for S.7 because I'd never watched it all the way through in whole. I'd seen most of it, but that was through various unlawful ways in the past (of course this was JUST before it became highly illegal to DL things in such ways) and it was always chopped up horrendously. So getting to see it in it's entirety and very clearly was enjoyable. So I was doing Stargate-y things while not watching it on Skifficans!

Now I'm in a debate in what I'm going to watch when I'm done here. It's a toss up between a good movie and a bad one. I have so many GOOD movies I want to watch, and only one bad one. That's Jason X. The possible good options are Wall-E, Dark Knight, and Australia. I'll decide soon...I hope!


Went to Starbucks and read some Frankenstein today. Got 30-something pages read. It's a very EASY book to read considering how it's written. It's an EXCELLENT book. Fabulous writing. I've set my 'must read by' date for the 15th - that way I'll have a month to read Angels & Demons again before the movie comes out. I'm sure I'll finished Frankenstein before that date, but you never know.


So I got a new toy (literally)!!!!!:



As some of you may know, I am an avid LOtR collector (I tried to find a pic of my collection, but I don't have one on Lord Danny). Have been since I got into it back in 2001. Any and everything LOtRs I can find, I'll take it. So getting the dolls was just a given. Well this awesome dude of a doll has been the bain of my collection's existance for YEARS. I saw him way back when the toys were still being sold at Wal-Mart after FOtR came out, and thought he was just completely badass. But Madre told me I could only get one, and I ended up choosing the other doll (I can't remember which one it was, but it had to be an important one like Legolas or Pippin) and deciding to just go back and get the Wraith later. Well, I DID go back like a week later and HE WAS FUCKING GONE. And after that day, i NEVER saw another one. And it haunted me as a collector and a fan because I should've KNOWN that he wouldn't be there anymore (but I couldn't have known I'd never see it again in stores). So last week I was thinking about  my collection and how I hadn't gotten anything SUBSTANTIAL for it in a while, and decided it was time to hunt this bad boy down. And NOW I can put to ease my self-hateness for NOT getting him way back when!


That's all I've got for now. I've suddenly started considering working on fic b/c I promised dvshipper  I'd finish Part 3 of 'She's Everything' this weekend if she wrote me something awesome earlier in the week (hey, I gotta be a muse who bribes if the situation calls for it!) - it's almost finished as is. But now she's putting out more fic (YAY! WIN!) and I feel I must hold up my end of the bribe! So maybe my good movie/bad movie debate is for not....*ponders*
