Best Neighbor Evar

So, Betty, our feisty retired nurse neighbor who has fought pirates on the open sea and smuggled $20,000 worth of drugs to the Red Cross in Mongolia heard that we were feeling a bit down due to our basement flooding. She came over with a bottle of 80 proof Polish mead.

I ended up having 3-4 little glasses of the delicious stuff and right now I am feeling no pain. I've always wondered if I would enjoy mead. I think the my final answer here is a resounding YES!

I Haz Finished!

Over the last 3-6 weeks (not sure how long, exactly) I've been watching every episode of Stargate SG-1 from the beginning. I hadn't seen several key episodes and had watched a large number of them out of order, so there were a bunch of questions I had about how the major story arcs tied together.

I only intended to watch to the beginning of the Ori story arc, as I had seen that in its entirety and quite recently at that. Well yesterday I finished the 8th season.

I watched a couple episodes of the 9th season just to reacquaint myself with how things tied together, and then called it quits. It actually feels kinda strange not to have dozens of episodes of some SF series waiting to be watched. Its beginning to make me wonder if I shouldn't do the same thing with Startrek: Voyager or Startrek: Deep-Space 9, as I never did see either series in its entirety.
