Current Music: The Who-- I Can See for Miles Subject: BBC America Time: 01:02 am Current Mood: aggravated

Well, folks, my brain has broken. I have been switching between BBCA and the Sci-Fi channel for like.... I dunno, twenty-four hours? (Okay, and the game-show network....) And I have to say, SGA last night was love. I mean, yeah, it was generic sci-fi drivel overall, with several "HA! That was an episode of Star Trek!" points (Which are an immense improvement over last season's several "HA! That was an episode of Buffy!" points) But.... John Sheppard is so.... eh. I don't feel like cutting. Maybe next week. Also, I finally managed to trick my spiffing cool computerinto connecting to the internet here at the great University of Maine! (I'm in college! YES! I'm also in DEBT LIEK WHOAS, but, well, with luck and an engineering degree, right?) So I'll be playing catch-up. Or not. Depending on my mood. After I do my essay for German. Ah, yes, relating back to why I am posting: so, here I was, vaguely watching Torchwood, (Cyberwoman, in case you aren't hyper aware of which eps are airing when on BBCA) while setting up a torrent client and begging the network not to boot me again, when the guy across the hall stops in and sees Half-Naked-Robot-Woman. He decides to stay, and drags his roommate in too, and then the girls next girl.... Jen and Bryn or something, I dunno, we don't talk, are suddenly in here too, so, the five of us are watching Torchwood, happily enough, and I made popcorn with my illicit microwave of doom, and it ends.  The boys are already planning what they're going to bring next week.... I don't get it. Torchwood is terrible, in that way that only people who like Torchwood can like Torchwood. I LIKE it, don't get me wrong, but.... weird. I may have to tell them I have the whole series recorded on my harddrive, huh.... Also, for the record I like commercials.

Subject: I know this is an old topic, but seriously... Time: 10:29 am

Cheyenne Mountain is a BIG MOUNTAIN. While its summit is not above the tree line, it is still, in fact, a mountain. You will not be able to see the entrance to the airbase from, say, Seven Falls, or the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo. This is because they're on the other end of the mountain from the base entrance. And yes, I would know. I've been there. I've been inside. It actually takes quite a bit of time to go from the gate to the Zoo, especially since you have to go down the mountain, then through the Broadmoor area (residential, with a snail's pace of a speed limit) and back up the mountain. Also: I'm glad none of you morons saw the "entrance part". I pity the airman who has the misfortune of meeting you. (You, of course, refers to people who are not actually reading this.) ((sorry for the bad rant that's been done by too many before))

Subject: Yay! 2007 Time: 02:17 pm Current Mood: cheerful

Happy New Year! Yay! There were lots of fireworks in our neighborhood, which I think is almost cooler than the highly choreographed shows I always saw in the States, because everyone is shooting of fireworks at once, and it's all around, and it's like everyone is just really excited and happy. Funny story though, about last night. My Dad and I were standing outside (in the pouring rain) watching these kids up the street do stupid stuff with their fireworks, when all of the sudden, the power went out! It was really crazy, but in a way, nice, because everything was so quiet (once people had run out of fireworks :) ) and instead of staying up 'til 3am, I went to bed around one-ish, because, well, without electricity, I couldn't use my computer. Hope everyone had equally exciting nights! And, Gluckwunschen fuer das neues Jahr!

I'm going to make a confession. I have just started shipping an ACTUAL PAIRING. I avoid [devoted] ship like the plague, and so need to have my brain realigned or something. The pairing is in Stargate: Atlantis, and I won't elaborate, but my conscience is killing me. Tell me having an OTP is okay?

I may have found another Atlantis Fan! Yay! Um, first I have to go out and buy the box set though, but I have wanted an excuse to do that for awhile. Also, today is Returning Senior Day at school, so I keep seeing all of these people I used to have classes with and being all "ooh! Where'd you come from?" And, at lunch, embarrassingly enough, the two banes of my Physics class last year came up behind me, stole the stupid santa hat I had been forced to purchase by my conniving friends who were selling them (evil). And were all "Caitlin? What are you doing here?" and I was annoyed and said "Duh, I attend school here!" Yeah. Also, I got my driving permit on Monday. I don't get my real license for two months yet, because in Germany you have to be 18 to drive. In everything else, the legal age is 16, but not driving. Grrr.

Subject: Friends irl Time: 10:34 am Current Mood: SQUEE!!!

So, today, I'm just hangin' out in my Statistics class, daydreaming about John Barrowman, when the girl next to me (Her name is Mary, she likes theater, and we chat occasionally) starts talking about the Producers, for some reason, and mentions how she "hated John Barrowman as a blond" or something to that extent, and I fall out of my chair. The rest of the class degenerated into a squee-fest, which results in a dvd trade-off -- Dr. Who for the Producers. Yay!

I made an Icon! Yay! My second ever (my first being the lynx I cropped in Paint). If I'd have known it was this easy, (and, y'know, fun) I would have done it ages ago. Umm, I'm a cheap-skate, so I can't show off the icon within this post, but it's the one I used with this post. Up there, by my username ^
