In happier news...

... my company let us go for the weekend early, at 2 PM. I, in just enough Worker Bee mode, didn't leave until a little after 2:30, once I'd wound a few things up for the long holiday weekend.

Is so nice to be home not too late, while we're actually having a temperate day when it's fun to sit out in the shade. All of a sudden, it's getting on to fall around here!

Now I just have to figure out what I'm going to do with a Friday evening when there's no proper Sci Fi Friday shows to keep me occupied. I might even have to rent a movie....

Cindy says "check your email!" (She stopped by to visit me! I feel loved!)

We could work in the basement for a couple hours?

Oh, sure! And then I could feed you and show you a movie or something...?

We had Sci-Fi Friday anyway. We've been watching "Firefly" again as the Sci-Fi Channel airs the original episodes.

Also, I've only been watching Stargate for a little more than a year now. I've seen lots of episodes on repeats, but there's lots more I haven't seen, including the two-parter where Jack voluntarily sticks his head in the Ancient hair-dryer so they can find the Lost City of Atlantis in time to head off the Goa'uld invasion. Those were the first two episodes they showed last night.

The eps were a painful reminder of how the show blows without Jack O'Neill. He was such a wonderful, quirky character, and so well-played by Richard Dean Anderson. He loved "The Simpsons," and thought Homer Burns was a Goa'uld. He ate Froot Loops for breakfast. In a crossword puzzle of scientific knowledge, he filled out the clue "celestial body" with the name "Uma Thurman." And it wasn't just him--the entire show crystallized around him. Everything was better with Jack.
