GIP, kind of

[st_aurafina]

Brain is still holding steady, despite the rigours of Mother's Day and my birthday coming right after it. (Happy birthday to the three other fangirls I know born on the fourteenth: eumelia, lurkingcat and lost_spook.)

My plans for today were to get up at a reasonable hour (done!), cook beef stroganoff (in the oven, but I'm worried it's too salty, so I put a couple of potatoes in to soak it up while it's slow cooking), and clean the microwave (yet to be achieved has been done in the interim, yay!)


I thought I had bookmarked some lists of the best SGA episodes for newbs but I can't find them. Anyone know of any? I want to push through and try to keep watching while I'm feeling enthusiastic (and a lot of my regular shows have stopped or are about to stop.) I know that it's one of those shows where fandom enthusiasm possibly outweighs actual canon, but I'm used to that kind of thing. (Sixth Doctor fan, me.)


And I made some Mac icons, because looking at Mac's face is a fun thing to do while you're waiting for stroganoff to cook. (From Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries, and totally snagable)

Maaaaac. ♥ My icon slots are all full, but I'm snagging for future use! Let's not discuss how that last episode with her totally broke my heart (in the best possible way). Clearly I know how to pick my favourites.

Happy birthday, possibly in advance unless it's past midnight over there!

Argh, me too! Poor Mac! My heart was breaking for her. I also know how to pick my favourites.

It will be midnight in two hours! And thank you! We're going swimming tomorrow, which will be fun.

Lovely, lovely icons *____*

Thank you! Mac is just AMAZING. I love her so much.

I think our icons are checking each other out!

Happy Birthday for tomorrow!

Hope your brain keeps on steady, hon!

[st_aurafina]

And to you, babe!

Brain is doing okay. Birthdays are rigorous for introverts, if you know what I mean.

Happy Birthday!

As far as SGA is concerned, I don't have any idea what episodes to tell you to watch. That was another show I gave up on in the middle of the third season... It had so much creative potential and such mediocre writing and leadership.

Thank you! Having a lovely day so far, and there's cake in the oven, so it's only going to get better.

Yeah, I know SGA is up and down - even staunch fans say that - but so many smart people love it! I think I will push on, and see how it goes. We have a lot of sewing to do in this house right now, and it's nice to have something you don't have to pay attention to on the telly while you sew.
