Two misses

Well, despite best intentions, Monte and I did pretty much nothing last night. We did not attend either of the Movie Nights going on. He did not get work done on the website. I did not do anything constructive.

We ate dinner. We watched the first (best) part of Stargate the movie. And then we watched an episode of "Stargate SG-1". He was in bed before 9pm! Of course, that's probably partially due to the wine we'd been drinking.

I stayed up a bit reading and watching another episode.

I really like this tv show. The episode I watched alone last night and the one I watched this morning while exercising - both of them looked "eh" to me. The descriptions made them sound like bad Star Trek retreads. Instead, in both cases, they were interesting and had "twists" at the end that made them very entertaining and intelligent. More complex than I expected.

After re-watching a bit of the movie - the only thing the movie has going for it in comparison is the production budget. Michael Shanks is much more interesting than James Spader. The character of Colonel O'Neill is alot more likeable in the series than in the movie (where he's a military cliche). Dr. Sam Carter does none of the awful "token female" things that annoy me in other series. Teal'c is your mandatory pseudo-Vulcan, but he's much more than just that and a helluva lot better than the one that was on "Voyager".

Got Stargate on the brain. 3 more episodes and I'm done with Season 1. Who has Season 2 for me to borrow??
Of course, we've got to watch "Sports Night" too. And somewhere in there, I need to watch the "Deep Space Nine" DVDs too.

Oh! Just got another Netflix today! Whee!

How Thursdays are Good Days

Went to lunch and had chicken kebabs - chicken and peppers! How very good for me! Combined with my water intake for the day and my breakfast (dry bagel with milk), I am doing VERY well today. Go me! Now, to not blow it completely while watching Sex and the City tonight with the girls.

Stopped at the Farmer's Market on Nicollet Mall to look for veggies. They were sad looking - been out in the sun too long. Note to self: next week shop early in the day for veggies. (The prices are decent enough and I like to support small businesses when I think about it.)

Heard back from Skaht about dj'ing and I think we may be onto something here. He's willing to do it and is mostly concerned about having the right repertoire for requests. Considering that the requests he's talking about (the Hokey Pokey and "Paradise by the Dashboard Lights") are not songs I want at my dance anyway, I think we can work something out.

Oh, wouldn't that be sweet? A dj I know and trust. Ohhhh. *drool*

And I'm feeling sorta motivated at work today and getting things done.
Weird.

Oh! And Monte and I will be joining the midnight viewing of X2 tonight after all! Monte's decided to be all butch and suck it up!
