saturday morning stuff

Talk about your weird dreams! I don't recall ever dreaming about a television character before, much less a character IN character. Let me just say that I now completely understand Buffy's attraction to Angel. Hoo!

Ok, moving on.

Kid was picked up this morning to spend the day with her paternal grandparents, and I could've used the day to do ME stuff that had nothing whatsoever to do with MOM stuff. So, do I? Of course not. I laze around, do pretty much nothing, waiting for Andromeda to come on. This is the one that guest-starred Michael Shanks, Christopher Judge and JR Bourne. I really enjoyed Michael's previous guest role on Andromeda, especially as I was missing Daniel Jackson so much, and haven't watched Andromeda in quite a while, so it was fun. The inevitable fight scene between Michael's AI and Lexa's AI was fairly well choreographed, but I couldn't help but think throughout that Michael and Lexa must have been having sooo much fun with it. They looked as if they had been practicing beating each other up for weeks. That aside, I didn't enjoy this one as much as the other one, despite the additional presence of Judge and Bourne. Maybe it was just that I haven't seen it in quite a while and was a bit lost, plot-wise. I'm missing Keith Hamilton Cobb already. He pretty much phoned his performance in, more's the pity.

I get to have dinner tonight with Kid and her grandparents, thankfully on someone's else's dime. Kid always picks good restaurants, so I have something else to look forward to this evening. Yay!

ta for now...

whaddya know?

Color me a worrywart, but Kid is not back yet, and it's 5 til 7. As in p.m., 9 hours after she left.

I'd really like for that bad feeling I had this morning to be nothing.

Stargate - spoilers

So, I watched Meridian this afternoon, which is the one where Daniel Jackson is exposed to lethal radiation and they introduce the character of Jonas Quinn as more than just a one-off meeting.

I knew that Daniel was going to ascend, I'd seen it before, at least twice, and I still bawled like a baby. OK, not quite that bad, but I cried nonetheless.

I haven't heard any spoilers about what they're going to do with Jonas when Daniel comes back. Of course, I haven't looked very hard, either.

I love the character of Daniel, whether played by James Spader or Michael Shanks, and I am excited he's going to be coming back for Season Seven. I like Jonas, too, though. He certainly couldn't replace Daniel, and yet he gives the team a shot in the arm of wonder and awe at whatever new thing they put in front of him. I hope they don't just come back without him and give some cheese-off reason for his disappearance. I'd like to see some interaction between the two of them after Daniel's return.

new Google feature?

Did you know that you can type your phone number into Google and it'll bring up your home address with a link to a map? It didn't work with my cell phone, but go, try it yourself with your home phone. There are instructions for how to remove yourself from their mapping feature. Some people might not want a map and directions to their house out on the internet for the whole world to see.
