Five for Friday
Dec. 1st, 2017 08:33 am1. Yesterday I got paid a surprise stipend of almost $500 for a program I am developing for spring implementation for our QEP. I was in it for the glory LOL, but I am very pleased about the moolah.
2. I started writing and addressing cards. If you want one and didn't comment on my card post, just PM me your details.
3. Emma and I are rewatching SGA, and I had forgotten how good the show is right out of the, well, gate. Most of my deeply beloved episodes (The Storm, The Eye, Before I Sleep) come from this first season. I'm also struck on this rewatch by how much Rodney has already changed (starting in the first episode) from the Rodney we saw on SG1. I'm also struck by how much he and John gravitate toward each other, right from the beginning. In my memory they had taken awhile to warm up to each other, but they're friendly right from the get go. We just watched Before I Sleep, and I love that episode so much. Elizabeth!Prime gives up her whole life to save her people; the pacing of the episode is a bit difficult to figure out, but I think she's only on Atlantis a matter of weeks, maybe a few months, before the Ancients all leave and she gets into the stasis pod. She's ten thousand years old in actuality but in reality not even a year older than Elizabeth. I get Janeway in the finale of Voyager goosebumps just thinking about it.
4. I've started reading Disraeli's Sybil, and it is clearly going to take forever to slog through all the political treatise bits to get to the actual story bits. I'm not well versed enough in British and European history/politics of the 17th and 18th centuries to follow along with a lot of what he's talking about even despite the footnotes.
5. I'm getting my hair cut and colored today. It astonishes me how quickly it grows and how evident that growth is when it's so short; when it's longer, I could go 8 or ten weeks sometimes between cuts and it wasn't really all that evident that it had grown much. I think my platonic ideal would be five weeks, but I've been going six and sometimes seven in between because of scheduling, etc.
