weekend ickiness
This weekend was horrible!! Okay, not totally horrible, because Kevin came over and I certainly enjoyed my time with him. He even enjoyed participating in the
redial_the_gate chat and watching a kickass episode of SG-1. He wasn't that hot though on some of the episodes of season one though! Anyways, the reason it was horrible is because I came down with a cold--one that hit me really really hard. It started Thursday with a sore throat, and by Friday I was having nasal congestion problems. By Saturday I was downright miserable, partially because another little friend decided to visit me, so I was all around uncomfortable. Its now Tuesday, I still don't have much of a voice, I didn't get nearly anything I wanted to get done this weekend, and still carrying around a box of tissues like a security blanket.
I was fortunate that I took off half a day on Friday as I worked an extra five hours unexpectedly on Wednesday, so it gave me the opportunity to be less miserable at work and more miserable at home--though I spent the entire time working, cleaning, and doing laundry. ick.
I did get one thing done, my entry for Jack Alpha-Bits, and knowing that it was written while legally high on cold and allergy medication on top of the constant light-headedness I get when I blow my nose (which is all the time!!) I really need a beta to look over it once. I just have no idea if it is even good, let alone whether I have their voices or can write in proper English right now...
Oh, and spending all day on the phone with airline peoples when you don't have a voice==bad. Singing in the car on the way home after spending the day on the phone with airline peoples when you don't have a voice==even badder. I'm squeaking and losing all voice on the stressed syllables of words. I think the Grahams find it funny.

Kevin was fun to hang out with at the redial chat (along with you). Sorry about your cold though.

I had seriously considered canceling the sleep-over because of the cold--didn't want to get him sick--and it was really sad that a pro to canceling is that I wouldn't miss the redial chat *innocentlook* but instead i got the best of both worlds... and I'm sure I'll find out by friday whether he got whatever I have, and then I'll start a weekend regime of constantly consoling him over the phone (Kev now lives almost two hours from me, so we don't get to see each other often, and our work schedules don't agree with each other--actually his work schedule is all seven days a week... bad for social life...)
*I'm babbling again... must be tired...*

On the other hand, I just got two new people who want to take the long road down through the 'gate with me (two newlyweds!) Am totally excited as well.

By the way, there seems to be something funky going on with your site layout. The entries and comments spread out under a transparent sidebar, so it's pretty hard to read and comment. If you are using a browser other than IE, you may not be seeing that...

My layout works perfectly for Apple Safari, firefox, and IE for Mac (that horrible horrible browser I only keep for webdesign!) but I'll check at work to see if there's anything funky on the windows machine... the base code I used is from a very long time ago, and LJ took a while to upgrade the base layers to allow for userpics (can't believe they had the problem with that in the first place) and the sidebar has been a reoccurring issue since I went orange (my green version from two years ago never had that issue) Thanks for the heads-up though--its rare I get any comment on the layout or any problems people might have with it...

What I was going to say about Bloodlines, is that when Daniel shoots the tank, Sam disapproves on the basis that they are helpless and killing them is morally wrong. It sets up an interesting conflict between her and Daniel, but I think Daniel was right. There is no such thing as an innocent Goa'uld, and they would all have been used to enslave Jaffa or hosts. Daniel is more ruthless here, but correct. I wrote a story about that (Of Ruins and Soldiers) It was one of my first, so I would write it very differently now, but I still like the concept. I may rewrite it now that my writing is a little better.
