I keep meaning to post and just, not. I said to myself I'd use this more, and comment more, and be on IM more, but it's not really happening. Shocker.

My day has been okay. My pay raise went through, yay! And a back-dated one at that. Mmmm. MacBook, thou shall be mine! But there's still so much to do at work, and eh.

I have this post in my head about sci-fi and how I react differently to it in books in comparison to tv, as I just finished two William Gibson books (yay reading) and one was Neuromancer, which is supposed to be a classic sci-fi text, and which I certainly enjoyed, but didn't love, and that made me think about my reaction to most sci-fi books as opposed to more strictly fantasy books, and how that again differs from sci-fi tv.

( oh hell, I've already started writing it (not spoiler-y for any of the books mentioned) )

Also, a large number of SGA episodes may have just 'fallen' into my possession. I believe I'm starting mid S2 and will no doubt skip around a bit, because my brain works like that sometimes. It's probably something I'll regret, but eh. It makes things interesting.

( Random thoughts on 'Critical Mass' 'Grace Under Pressure' 'The Tower' and randomly 'Adrfit.' SGA in general really )

I wouldn't say I'm totally hooked, but then, I'm not about to stop watching either. :p

Finally, your political geek link of the day: The US 2008 Budget in a zoom-able, number filled, crest-tastic graphic. Honestly, just fascinating, and the numbers are mind boggling. Especially those DoD ones. Dude. o.O
