And then, yeah, okay.

Some things that have conspired to make me happy over the last couple of days:

1. (Non-sexual completely platonic) sleepovers for grown-ups.
2. "Yo, assholes, this motherfucker's dead! There ain't no Criss Angel 'Mindfreak', David Blaine trapdoor horseshit jumpin' off here!" (tell me some of y'all have seen this already)
3. The photo snapped of Tunisian Olympian Azza Besbes that can be found here, in The Moments gallery. I want a large print of that picture asap.
4. Planning for Dragon*Con. Vacation! Finally!
5. Knowing where I'm going to work after I return from Dragon*Con. Change sucks, but at least things won't catch me unawares. Hopefully.
6. Meeting a friend for ten minutes completely by surprise and remembering all over again why she makes you a better person and how lucky you are to have her in your life.
7. Thinking back on the college years, and being stoked about revisiting campus for Homecoming Weekend. God, I'm one of *those* people.
8. The weekend! Yayz!

I started watching SG-1 with atraxia, and I like it? I guess. I'd caught a couple of episodes later on in the run and I enjoyed them without really being familiar with canon so I know things pick up, but the pilot is really quite bad, full of pointless momentum-halting verbal exposition and little real action to speak of. We got six or seven episodes in, and I know I'm going to force myself to finish up watching as much as I can (Amazon had a Buy 1, Get 1 sale going on SG-1 and I bought up to S8 because I have faith in these things and because I'm a fool at times), but I hope things improve quickly. Daniel Jackson, though? Hot from the get-go. Hello!

Three workdays left. Whoo! And there are fanfic panels Friday night that I'm ridiculously excited about. Joy.

SG-1 was my first fandom, so I may be a bit biased when I say "it gets better." The 'verse gets more involved and complex as the series progresses, which is what I loved about it (the fact that non-fans have no clue what's going on gives me warm, in-crowd feelings).

It's good you only bought through S8 - as far as I'm concerned, the series ended then, and the next two seasons are just bad fanfic.

I figured as much. The episodes I'd managed to catch further on in the seasons were pretty good for the most part. I was just startled by how *hokey* the pilot came across.

And I remember the fandom warbling when s8 ended, so I figured going beyond that at the moment wouldn't be prudent. :)
