End of Week Post
May 14th, 2004 08:15 pmWoo-hoo!!!! Finals are over... which means, I'm home for the summer!!
Well, the total weight loss count from being on the I Went Away to College plan is in: I've lost over 20 pounds in two semesters... completely not on purpose. ::chagrined:: And officially, none of my freakin' pants fit!! >:(
Andromeda -- Woo-hoo! I finally got home to all my recordings, and I had a Harper marathon!! Man, I forgot how good "Ouroborous" is. I forgot about half the tings that happened in that ep, but boy was it fun to see it again! And I just love Harper's impression of abstract art. ::squee!!!:: It was SO funny. Okay, it might have been because I watched it at 2:30 in the moring, but I still love it. :D

Title: Appreciation
Prompt: "headache"
Gateroom.
It's late.
I'm standing on the ramp, gazing.
Amazing technology, the Stargate.
Thinking about how it works gives me a headache, but it's still intriguing.
Off-world with Jaffa on our tails, it's always our ticket home.
It came through again, got us out of yet another bad situation. Everyone -- even me, for a change -- came back without a scratch.
It's taken for granted, never once thanked for the job it does.
I gently place my hand on the piece of alien engineering, willing my appreciation to it.
I hope it knows how much it really means.
It's earth's hope.

Like the screen saver banner. Danny and Jack are so cute together. Even when they are not. ;)

Date: May 15th, 2004 09:34 pm (UTC)::snickers... the joke is not lost on her:: Yes, Corin Nemec was on the show for a whole season and them some. Why he was on the show, I cannot say because you would be SUPER spoiled. It's Season 6.
Like the screen saver banner.
I can just imagine Jack doing that... if he knew how. ;) He often says, "You know me and computers..."
And, I assume, the "anonymous paid account" thing came from you. If so, THAAAAAAAAAAANKS!!! ::pounces and hugs you:: If not, then I have someone else who cares about my lack of icon fun. ::points at Jack icon... squee!!::

Date: May 16th, 2004 02:46 am (UTC)So Jack and computers are a lot like me and computeres. That makes me like him a lot more. Though I know how to install a screen saver.
And, I assume, the "anonymous paid account" thing came from you.
Nope, wasn't me. I swear. I'm saving all my May money for my visit at
So, is it a year account or just two or six month? Would you like me to enlargen that one or would you rather get something else?

Date: May 16th, 2004 08:47 pm (UTC)Jack is a lot smarter than he let's on, but he likes to play dumb.
Nope, wasn't me.
Wow! Then I have no idea who it was!!
Now I have nothing to bribe you with.
Hey, I'm still bribable. :D

It's just two months. But if you'd like, I sure wouldn't mind having longer to play with my muffins and such.
MuhahahaBut if you have money issues, what else might you do?no subject
Date: May 17th, 2004 02:05 am (UTC)Yeah, that's a nice trick I learned well. You can get people to make stuff for you, that you don't like to make yourself like, a say a mood theme. ;)
The only pictures I have finished catching are the J.D. ones. And even those mostly aren't the ones I liked to get. I need to find a good Joan of Arcadia cap page to get the Luke ones. Than I'll pick some Wes pics and you can take whichever Danny pic you think might fit. But I'm not sure, whether or not I will find them before I leave for Cologne, so don't wait for them. But you are busy with your Muffin theme anyway, aren't you.
Wow! Then I have no idea who it was!!
This is fun. *gg*
Hey, I'm still bribable. :D
Good to know. ;)
But if you have money issues, what else might you do?
I don't have money issues. Well, I don't have a lot of it, but I don't have to starve just for getting someone a paid account. As long as I can pay that monthly bank loan thing (what is "Hypothek" called in English?) for my part of the house, it's fine.
Other than that I could send a package with stuff from Germany. Tobi got a BMW, chocolate and wine gums. Okay, the BMW was only a plastic model, but I didn't have the money to get a real one. And all in all that package was more expensive than a year long paid account. So getting you a few extra month of muffins would be much easier and a bit cheaper for me.

Date: May 17th, 2004 07:14 pm (UTC)And some of us let you make us make things, not because we think you're dumb, but because it makes you happy. :)
I need to find a good Joan of Arcadia cap page to get the Luke ones.
If you want non-Luke Michael Welch pics, I can find you some non-spoilery ones from that ep of SG-1. He just won't be Luke.
But you are busy with your Muffin theme anyway, aren't you.
I'll stop with it when you get your pics, though. :) Anyway, I'm having problems with finding pics. But I'll get them if I have to keep baking muffins, so help me!!
I don't have money issues.
Okay, I just don't want to cause trouble. And I'd get more out of the LJ. It's less trouble for you, and it's more fun for me. :D

Date: May 18th, 2004 12:52 am (UTC)I want Luke pics because of the glasses. And the highlighted hair. And all the cuteness that is Luke. I'm not thinking Michael Welch is that hot. It is all in the Luke. Though it is cool, that Michael is such a great actor at such a young age, that he can play the different characters so differently (yeah, I need a better vocabulary), that you don't need the actors hotness or not hotnes to make the character hot or not. Like say, every character Orlando Bloom plays seems to have the same two expressions but because OB is so hot, they are always hot. And am I chatty today or what?
But I'll get them if I have to keep baking muffins, so help me!!
Help you finding pics? I already gave you that google link. I could go through some German baking related pages, if you want more. Or do you want me to bake muffins for you. I could do that too. I just don't have a digital camera.
no subject
Date: May 18th, 2004 09:10 pm (UTC)That's fine. :)
OB is so hot, they are always hot.
You're preaching to the choir here. I already know!
Help you finding pics?
No, no, no. "So help me" is a common phrase for Americans. In this context, it means "grrrrr, if I don't get this fixed/solved, I won't be responsible for my actions"... Does that make sense? (Sorry, it never occurred to me that you wouldn't understand it.) Hmmm.... I should look into where the phrase originated...
I already gave you that google link.
And it's GREAT -- muffins, muffins, muffins!!

Date: May 19th, 2004 02:50 am (UTC)So it's like "Himmel hilf" (Heaven help) in German. Like you asking God to help you stay sane and not start to murder any random people because you are getting more and more mad or annoyed with something. Okay, I try to remember that.
