Wow I haven't posted since March, so call me a lazy blogger! It's Friday! Stargate SG-1 and Stargate Atlantis are on tonight. I am excited about them again, the past few episodes have been fairly decent. I'm still having trouble getting used to the Farscape folks being on SG-1, it really makes me miss that show. Of course the spoof of Farscape on the 100th episode was a riot. Heck the whole thing was funny. Alas, I'm not sure where Atlantis is heading with this good Wraith bad Wraith thing. The Wraith are supposed to be vampirish, consumed by hunger, monsters. Not our best buddies.
Battlestar Galactica is supposed to be back in Oct. or Nov. drats I can't remember and I don't feel like looking it up. I'm also looking forward to this coming back to TV and Dr. Who as well.
I haven't read any good fiction lately, I've been reading technical books - Perl programming stuff. But books like that are for another place. I was writing a short story for this blog, but I guess I got distracted. Maybe I'll finish it, maybe I'll start a different one. Basically it was going to be based on "Bushisms", the funny things our President says. Basically this person wakes up and everyone is speaking in Bushisms. Honestly I got the idea from an episode of the Twilight Zone I saw a long time ago, where this salesman wakes up and the whole world is speaking some type of jargon that he does not understand. Ultimately he has to relearn the language and at the end he is reading a children's book, his effort in self education. The primes of Bushisms was going to be the same, the protagonist would be able to understand everything that was being said, but none of it would make sense or be in some sort of way out of place context.
Okay, maybe that is a little too challenging for me, even as a short story, heck I don't know if I could even get a good essay out of it. It sounded fun when I came up with the idea though.
More later, maybe I'll talk about the SG shows after I watch them, oh joy ;)
