  Doctor Who and a whole new realm

  Greetings friends!

  It has been quite some time since my last post. Not to worry though, i've been keeping up to date with all my favourite shows. And I've been adding a few new ones to the list. For starters, I finally swallowed my pride and started watching Stargate Atlantis. I was able to grit my teeth and bear the first season out. And I'm glad I did, because from Season 2 onwards it became quite good. It will never measure up to SG-1 of course, but then I never expected it to so all's well.

  In addition, as you may be able to tell from the title of this blog, I've begun to watch Doctor Who. Strangely enough, even though I love my sci-fi, I had never actually seen an episode of the show until about 2 weeks ago, when I was randomly flicking through the network channels on tv at about 11:30 at night, and I stumbled upon a recent episode. Needless to say, I enjoyed it a lot and so proceeded to track down the previous seasons. I'm currently half way through season 2. Oh, and i'm referring to the recent 2005 show.

  In other news, today is my last day of winter break. Yes, it's winter right now for those of us in the Southern Hemisphere. Back to uni tomorrow. I'm not really looking forward to resuming my studies but on the other hand, I am getting very bored at home.

  Anyway, that's news from me for now. Hopefully, I'll keep up the effort and resume blogging on a regular basis, but given my track record, I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you. Not that you were anyway. LOL. Hope all my friends on this site are doing well.

  Until next time...

  Bah Humbug!

  'Twas the night before Monday,
  and all through the house,
  Every creature was stirring.
  EVEN THE MOUSE.

  Have you ever noticed that when you really need some peace and quiet, everything in the world conspires to make things as noisy and chaotic as possible?

  I have exams this week right? So of course this would be the week when we have someone from overseas staying at our house. Not that that's such a big deal, but it's distracting is all. GAH!!!

  *sigh*That's my little rant for today. Anyone who's actually interested in reading this (few as they may be [lol]), i shall probably remain silent for the next week and a half due to exams. Or I'll get really frustrated and use this as my vent. Hehe.

  Anyways, take care.

  "You know, All these people...The Kings, the Queens, the Princes. They all die. And at the end all you've got is these two guys: Fortinbras and Horatio. A soldier, and a student. Ain't that somethin'?"
  - Army Intelligence

  I'm not sure if that's the exact quote but it's along those lines - LOVE IT.

  Sg-1

  Ok, so I'm at level 9 with 100%. Does anyone find that odd? shouldn't it go to level 10 with 0 percent? Oh well, to be honest, i'm not really that fussed.

  I've been watching a lot of the old stargate eps recently (sg-1), and i've come to the conclusion that it should've ended at season 8. Don't get me wrong. I still like seasons 9 and 10 but it's just not the same. And i don't mean just because RDA isn't there anymore, though that is a factor. The character interractions aren't the same, the stories have a different feel to it. The whole show has just lost it's charm. Like I said, it's still a good show. But it's lost that undefinable allure. To that extent, i have to say that I think cancelling the show was a good idea. However, I do want to know how the Ori saga ends. Bring on the movies eh? Anyways, that's all i really wanted to rant about. I could've put it in the forums but lets face it, this discussion's been done to death in there and there's no point subjecting all the forum users to reading it again.

  And today's quote: Kinsey finally gets whats coming to him. Woo!
  
  President: Will you shut the hell up!?
  Dr Weir: Sorry, sir.
  President: Not you, doctor.
  Kinsey: Excuse me?
  President: Consider your resignation accepted Bob
  Kinsey: You can't do that!
  President: Oh, please. I got enough on you to have you shot.
