How great is it that my least favorite goa’uld is on LOST this week?!? Zipacna tried to snark on Osiris until she (he? heh) threw down the threat of Anubis, making his little rabbit lip quiver. Zippy also tried to take Ska’ara out by defending Klorel in that trial held by by the Tollans, but SG-1 prevailed, of course. Ah, good times.  Speaking of SG-1, in the Stargate movie, the really good looking sidekick of Ra is credited as Anubis and was killed by the Stargate team.   According to show canon, Anubis had been banished centuries earlier by the System Lords, but the two stories could work together;  he could have been like Imhotep, hiding out as a Jaffa, after his “death” and that could explain a) why the System Lords paid him no mind and b) how he was able to live on because of his half ascension.  Yep, I need a life.

On a different note, how amazing is James on Survivor? Such the body and a brain now, too. Triumphant, indeed. Well played, James.

[Edit:  LOST is sooooo bad.  Desmond and crazy Jesus/Manson man have a past.  Bwa ha ha ha ha]

I’ve always liked Owen. I could kind of understand the fandom hate because he can be a right ass, but it never turned me completely off. Owen fan or not, “A Day In The Death” (S2 E8) is one of the top five episodes of any show ever. I spent the last hour or so watching and only now am I starting to recover. Actually, I’m still a little stunned and can’t really keep going on about it just yet. Hope everyone else sees it favorably when it airs here.

Let me know.

I never post anymore. There’s no existential rationale, I just don’t post. I’m still into the same fandoms, and that may be the reason; no new loves. Schoolwork in general is another good reason. It’s not that my classes are difficult, or even that I’m busy doing my work (which I haven’t), they just kind of weigh on my mind. We had a lovely snowday today, and though one of my classes was to meet in Beckley, it was canceled. Hurrah! Did I use the time to catch up on my work?

Nope.

Slept.

Happily.

Two hour delay for tomorrow, too.   :flake:

My dad got a Myspace today.

Thanks for the birthday wishes and goodies, Ben, Todd, Jesse, and Jonas! 

I want a do over, of everything.

I can only hope that the parallel universe theory is true and there’s another me out there for whom everything goes right all the time. Bah. From the big things such as having a husband to the little things like random album art not showing up on my Zune, just bah.

As an early birthday present, Dad and Mom got my car fixed up a bit. I got a front-end alignment, new brakes and four new tires. Whee! The old rattle seems to be gone and now I’m not dreading all the trips I have to make this month.

I still look forward to Torchwood each week, but in our house it’s known as The Jack and Ianto Look At Each Other show. That’s just about the only reason we tune in, but it’s a good enough reason, I suppose. Survivor is back, and I don’t know how I missed it, but I’ve made up the first episode and it’ll do. Oh, congratulations, LOST. I actually *did* turn it off this week. My lord, could that one guy overact more?!? He might as well have a sign on that says, “Hey viewers, I’m odd and quirky, WATCH MEEEEE!” I think I’m just over how seriously the show takes itself. It’s a stupid show, based on stupid premises that the writers can’t get out of now, and yet they make it play out as if it’s Shakespeare. FFS. When it was a group of people on an island with “something’ out there, it rocked. Once the “something” became warring factions of others, scientists, and their ilk, it failed. Flash forwards suck, the flashbacks suck, everyone we’ve met since Season 1 sucks. Oh, and just kill Ben and be done with it. Geez.

As a child, an animated version of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe scarred me horribly. I was devastated beyond belief, so much so, that I blocked it from my mind and remembered nothing except a good lion was shaved and killed in a most degrading and horrific manner.

Because of the trauma, I suppose, I never knew anything about Prince Caspian. The trailer for the movie is out and I have to admit that I am excited about it. It looks like something I may just love. However, if anyone is familiar with the story and knows of any more lion death, please let me know so I won’t watch or read. I can’t take that kind of trauma again. Thanks.

Extremely brief wrap-up.

LOST- Eh, I didn’t turn it off, that’s an improvement. Still not feeling it.

Torchwood- S2E2 and S2E3- Not as good as S1E1.  Not giving up.

SGA- Last week was painful to watch.  That little girl is NOT a good actress.  Don’t go there again.  This week? Filler.   Next week?  Dr. Keller again.  Ugh.  Visceral hatred for an hour.

Make Me A Supermodel- Yeah, I voted (repeatedly) for Holly to stay, what of it?  There was no chance she was leaving, but I really thought it would be Jay.  No need to vote this week, don’t care about any of them.

As usual, the one show I can count on to entertain me (possibly due to my low expectations) is The Gauntlet III.
