Sunday morning rambling

[bluflamingo]

Well, OK, it's half past midday, but I'm still in my pyjamas, so whatever, it's morning!

1. I got a second cat last weekend (Ginger, aged 17, my long-haired cuddly furball) and told my mum on Thursday, as she's visiting next weekend. Her response: oh, Emily, why did you do that? Followed by: she won't last long.

Yeah, this would be why I tell you things after I've done them, not while I'm still thinking about them!

2. I am now the proud owner of a secondhand, bright blue, folding bike, so I can cycle to work and stop getting parking tickets. Excited and slightly scared - cycling in Bristol seems kind of frightening.

3. Here's a sentence I never thought I'd say: I just put all my SGA DVDs up for sale. I don't think I'm necessarily done with the fandom, but I'm so filled with irritation for fanon-Rodney that watching the DVDs makes me grr.

4. Speaking of: I decided to sign up for Avengers Fest after all, but I think I got a bit ranty in the 'what I don't want' section of my sign up. And maybe sort of missed what they were getting at with that? Oops? Though can I just say that I love the person who listed specific phrases she didn't want, and slightly wish I'd said, "releasing a breath he/she didn't know he/she had been holding"? No idea why that phrase bugs me so much but it really does!

Congrats on the new kitty!

I've been rewatching Stargate for ages (currently up to SG1 season 8) and am not sure if I want to rewatch SGA or not because of exactly what you say. Luckily I move at a snail's pace, so I don't have to decide anytime soon.

[bluflamingo]

I've never seen most of SG1, but I hope you're enjoying it.

I think my problem with SGA is that, in my head, it's kind of different, and so it's always a little weird to watch and not have Cadman and Vega and Keller who's involved with women and... So I just don't watch it.

Welp, I know I've used the magic phrase in #4 several times, so, um, sorry? :)

[bluflamingo]

Eh, you and everyone else. It's not instant back-button or anything, it's just one of those phrases, for me, that I can't not notice. No need to apologise :)

[sugar_sugar]

oh, god fanon Rodney. SGA for me is still like that ex that I would cross the street, or possibly the country, to avoid having to talk to. And we had some good times before they exiled all my favourite characters and made it the fanon clown Rodney solo act. I keep looking at my dvds and deciding selling them would be too much effort.

...and now I'm ranting in your journal, how embarassing.

[bluflamingo]

Rant away, no need to be embarrassed! There used to be an awful lot of ranting about Rodney in the comments on my journal, not all of it by me.

With my SGA DVDs, I'd sort of forgotten I had them till I went looking for something else, and went - oh, wow, why do I still have these? Worth the effort though, since I just sold the whole lot to some guy for £50.

[karmageddon]

Yeah, I hear you about canon-Rodney.

[ivorygates]

I am now watching SGA for the first time.
