this entry is a bit of a rollercoaster.

First, THANK YOU, rilestar! I am a paid user again! I do not even know what one does with so many usericons, but I am going to find out! I am superexcited, and also v. grateful. ::twirls rilestar::

On a related note, is anyone else watching the scifi channel Stargate marathons? I'd forgotten how weird it is to watch tv shows that I can't pause or rewind, with ad breaks. Ads = profoundly annoying. I think if I ever go legit it will be with netflixs. But it is nice to actually get cozy with some SGA canon again. It's weird. It's like watching people's user icons come to life.

Final note: my mother is going into the hospital for a thing tomorrow (I have been trying to figure out how to describe this here, and here's what I've got: "not terrifying, but pretty hardcore"). All good thoughts and prayers in that direction are very welcome.

In conclusion, I may or may not be offline for a bit (indications are 'not'), but I do want to wish everyone a very happy holiday-of-choice and a happy 2008! Take care and safe travels.

Good thoughts for your mom are headed your way.

*agrees* Life would be better without commercials.

I realized recently that I don't think I've actually switched on my TV for more than a year. There wasn't anything on that justified the effort of turning it on (which, admittedly, means standing on the kitchen counter -- don't ask), and if I want to watch something, my computer has a better screen, and I can watch what I want when I want.

Good thoughts coming your way. Hope your holiday is as happy and relaxed as can be.

Totally crossing fingers and sending hope re: the mom thing.

It's like watching people's user icons come to life. Might just be the best description of TV ever. (It was also my thought upon watching the "Another Sunday" vid last night.)

Again, you are very welcome :-)

I'd forgotten how weird it is to watch tv shows that I can't pause or rewind, with ad breaks. I actually turned on the telly the other day! And watched 45 minutes of The Simpsons/Futurama re-runs. It's funny, after it was over I realised I had no memory of the ad breaks. I must have totally tuned them out.

Ha! So true ... what does this say about us???

And I'll be definitely thinking good thoughts for your ma. Hope everything goes well.

PS: My boss has been walking around the office in my Daniel Boone hat. And everyone loves the squirrel - who has the unfortunate name of "Buttfinger". Did I tell you - depending on what side of his face you look at, he either looks cute & friendly, or psychotically murderous. Heh.

Always do. Thankfully the Christmas Eve marathon will include some 4th season eps because I have seen the first season on marathon A WHOLE LOTTA TIMES.

And I guess you don't have TiVo? TiVo = No commercials :)
