post thanksgiving & late anniversary

how was your turkey day? did you survive over-eating and the family drama? survive the after t-day shopping rush?


anyway i forgot this blogs 2nd year anniversary on oct. 26 *shakes head* lots of crap going on in my life and i was watching for the 250 post mark, which i missed too. *sigh*

"my" jack o'neill

i saw this post on live journal about who jack o'neill is for people who write fan fic. and while i don't write that, i started to think who he is in my mind. RDA is the reason i started to watch the show after all.

he is all of that in people's replies (he's more complicated than he let's on, but who isn't?) but he's also this in my mind;

he's loyal, once you're a friend you're friends for life. even if you don't see him for years. if you're on his crap list, there's no hope.
he's brand loyal. once he's found something he likes he sticks with it. he's traditional. he mourns the fact that you can't find just plain tooth paste anymore.
jack belongs to the school of; if it's not broke, don't fix it.
he's the kind of guy who will bail you out of jail at 3 a.m. no questions asked. (he'll grumble the whole time though) also he'll drive you home from a party when you've had too much to drink.
jack doesn't give advice on your latest life-crises, so don't ask. don't dump your problems on him. he has enough of his own, thank you very much.
jack's like of children can be attributed to two things; 1. he only had one (he's irish-catholic you know) and 2. he lost that only child.
he's smarter than he lets on. he rarely shows it bceause once "they" know you're smart, they want that level from you all of the time.


i think that's all. if i think of something else i'll add it later

five things #60

Five things SG-1 did to cheer up Sam after she was removed from command of Atlantis.

1. teal'c insisted on a star wars marathon (original trilogy only) at her place after she turned down an offer of "observing a battle in a ring in jello."
2. daniel took her to a series of poetry readings. even though sam was sure he was bored out of his mind & was mentally translating the poems into ancient greek or something.
3. jack sent her a series of e-mails with every political joke he had heard in washington. sam didn't have the heart to tell him that she didn't care for political humor.
4. vala took her to a flea market to do what she called; "treasure hunting on a more controlled scale."
5. mitchell took her out to dinner at the the fanciest restaurant that he could afford. she wasn't sure if they could call it a date because she had the higher rank now, but it was something to think about.

political dungeons & dragons

someone did a post on live journal of the presidental canidates playing D & D.
it's kind of funny IMHO, even if you don't play the game.

warning: some strong lanuage

president geek

in regards to the alleged geekness of the next president, someone on life journal did a list of things that are similar to those chuck noris things about why he's "so cool."
the list.

someone added one in the comments;
Obama's sex scandal won't involve a cigar, if he has an affair with an intern it will involve cosplay.

(for those who don't know; cosplay is short for costume play. basically dressing um in a costume of a character from a movie, comic book/graphic novel or tv show & perhaps acting like said character. done mostly at conventions)

when i read that out to my brother, responded like a reporter would; "could you tell us why she was dressed like a cat-girl?" (a cat-girl is more or less just that; a girl with cat ears & tail and sometimes acts like a cat. found in some anime stories)

well, for some reason that amused the hell out of me. i totally LMAO to the point where i could barely breathe and my brother thought that i was going to wet myself.

quiz: how is your inner child?

Your Inner Child Is Sad

You're a very sensitive soul. You haven't grown that thick skin that most adults have. Easily hurt, you tend to retreat to your comfort zone. You don't let many people in - unless you've trusted them for a long time.

How Is Your Inner Child?

five things #59

5 ways Daniel ends up in prison.

not sure if all of these warrant going to prison, maybe just jail

1. on the planet that jack nicknamed "politically correct" who knew it was considered sexual harassment to complement their host's wife on her dress?

2. he once painted horns on kinsey campaign posters.

3. the rest of sg-1 busted daniel out of confinement on P4-856 for "grave robing" when he investigated some local ruins.

4. all of those unpaid parking tickets he got going to various lectures, meetings & libraries for research.

5. the night that cassie turned 17 her boyfriend didn't take "no" for an answer. she got away thanks to self-defence moves jack & teal'c taught her. daniel went to see him with a tire iron looking to bash his head in, but the jerk wasn't home. so daniel settled for bashing the windows, headlights & taillights of his 4x4 truck.

election 2008

it's the big one, finally. nearly 2 years of this crap. i have a feeling that we are fracked no matter who wins, hence the bumper sticker.

five things #58

Five legends about SG1 that aren't true.

4. the woman are so beautiful, that if you look at them too long you'll either be blinded or loose your mind.
5. they keep loosing their pants or other articles of clothing.
