nellhowell, makes excellent use of Cash's "Solitary Man" and I thought of it as soon as the song started playing. (No "Vegas" spoilers.)- Mood:

(Thank goodness for Sanctuary, btw. It entertained me, and I don't dislike any of those characters. Yet. *g*)
As a public service announcement, I realize I didn't really discuss Outsiders at all. (Damn you, Carson. *g*) Fortunately,
tipper_green doesn't have my hang ups and discusses the lovely, lovely darkness in her episode post. Go there for a much more insightful look at the ep. :)- Mood:

And quickly followed by Sanctuary, which rocked! :D ( aaaand episode spoilers to follow )

The first occurred at Ted Drewes (maker of the best frozen custard on the PLANET!!!), where a tiny little, I'd say seven years old or so, fresh faced girl with french braids and a white smock blouse and pink pedal-pushers, who seriously only needed daisies in her hair to complete the image, first with furrowed brow and intense concentration, folded her fingers into that devil horns gesture ( loved by head-bangers everywhere )
The second occurred while talking to a friend of mine who's going through the receding hair-line trauma and is thinking of shaving his head. I said he'd experienced that cut before while in the Navy, and he gave me a detailed description of the "make it legal" Navy officer cut, ( including a bit about his cowlicks acting up )
In other news, I finally saw First Contact on Monday, and it rocked! ( Episode spoilers! )

Awesome thing, number 2: Happy belated birthday wishes to
sydpad and opaleye_dragon! That it's belated is not awesome, but that you both were born is very awesome, indeed. :)Awesome thing, number 3: I've just started in on my September New Yorkers!! I have been a good month behind forever, so I am darn excited to be reading a month's issue within the month it was issued. Organized efficiency of Martha Stewart proportions will be mine! Some day! ::mwahahaha::
Awesome thing, number 4: A really cool SGA meme is floating around livejournal...When you see this, post a quote from Stargate: Atlantis in your journal:
For my quote I give you... Spaceships!! As said by a never-to-be-seen-again blueshirt in the opening episode, Rising: part one. To my mind it captures one of the magical ingredients of SGA: sci-fi fans, in space.
Awesome thing, number 5: Tracker (5x09), oh yeah, ( there's going to be squeeing...and episode spoilers, too )

Also, I've decided to enjoy the season of Stargate:Atlantis we have left. I'm still sad it's ending, and I would have loved a longer run. But five years is a solid showing and if this season turns out as well as last season (and so far so very, very good) it will mean I have an eminently rewatchable set of dvds rather than something for the yard-sale box.
I listened to Brad Wright's interview with GateWorld, and while I think there was a certain amount of spinning going on (we are talking Hollywood, here), it reminded me that sometimes shows can be shut down cold. No rest of the season, no movie possibilities, just gone. Or they can fade out as writers and cast members leave or start phoning it in, or go in an insane direction in a wild attempt to breathe new life into a long dead corpse. I don't think SGA has done any of those things, and I'm glad for it.
Another thing Brad Wright did to help cheer me up just a little? The Shrine.
To which I say: Oh, show! Just... oh, show! This is exactly why I watch, and why I cried when I realized this was the last season, and why I will really, really miss you.
There was so very much to love about this episode, but first, some emergency triage. :)

Greetings from limbo! :D I'm sitting here in an empty house, on the saggy couch we're leaving behind (either to sell or give to the junkman, which ever works out the easiest) grabbing the opportunity to log on to the internet. The movers descended on Thursday and Friday and, like a field of locusts, sucked up all of our possessions. We've been living out with my in-laws, appropriately in their "mother-in-law" apartment. It's been lovely to have a bolt-hole, especially for our cat. (Though she was up all night the first evening; I eventually had to go out and sleep on the couch just to keep her company, as she didn't trust the bedroom. Fortunately, she settled in after that.) But we have no internet connection and no phones. Not even our cellphones work out there. So we've been well off-grid. It's kind of like camping! ;)
We head down to Florida early, early Tuesday morning, so this will most likely be the final post I send from Kentucky. I was actually quite weepy on Friday, after the movers were gone and we'd done all the cleaning we could get to that day. That surprised me because I'm pretty excited about the move and don't feel like I'm leaving a lot behind here. But after thinking about it, I realized that this is probably the longest I've lived in one place. We've been here six years. I lived in New York City for ten, but we moved from the East side to the West side in the middle of all that, so I think this house still qualifies. At the very least, it's the end of a chapter, so it's okay to get a bit emotional, I think. (Adorably, my husband quoted Gandalf to me, something about not all tears being bad. It was very sweet.)
In the midst of all that chaos, we did manage to catch Stargate:Atlantis. It was very strange watching it without a dvr. I couldn't leave to pee or anything (what if I missed something!?!) and the ads were really noticeable. (There's an interesting men's bodywash war going on: Nivea vs. Axe. It encourages wit, which pleases me. Creepiest ad definitely goes to the Aqua Velva folks: no son and father should be that close, guys.) It's funny how certain technologies slip under your skin and suddenly you feel like you can't live without them...
Fortunately, I have technology and a husband willing to use said technologies, so... we downloaded SGA off i-tunes and watched it on our tiny computer screen. Take that, Mother Nature!! :D
Yay! That is all. :D
Heh, no, not really. Casting spoilers to follow. And also for the episode.
