Waaaaay Behind ...
Well, I'm way behind on updating my journal. We had lovely, lovely company last weekend. Maryann came down from Jacksonville and Susan came up from South Florida. We had a rocking party Friday night for the SciFi Friday premieres, complete with special cakes with Leah's cartoons on top -- one for SG-1 and one for Atlantis! If we'd had more company, we would have made one for Battlestar Galactica, too. LOL. We had hoped that local fans Patty and Randi could come, too, but Patty was in Australia and Randi had family in town. We're hoping to get together with them soon. Anyway, we put up a huge banner of Daniel in the dining room, barbecued hamburgers and hot dogs out on the grill, had all sorts of good eats, and settled in for the premieres.

We all spent SG-1 laughing, cheering and clapping and as one we groaned when it said "To Be Continued" at the end! Atlantis and Battlestar Galactica were equally as fun.

At the end, we all piled into the van and went to Books a Million for the Harry Potter premiere party. It was great fun, too. There was a lady dressed up in a robe who went around with a Sorting Hat and let us all pull out a really cute "house" pin. Exactly at midnight, everyone who had prepaid for a Harry Potter book was sent through the line very quickly and handed their book. We went to Barnes and Noble afterwards to see if they were giving out free stuff, too, but they were being stingy. They had posters but they wouldn't hand them out unless you could "prove" you had prepaid for the book and they made you stand in a huge line first to boot. It was chaos there. The Books a Million party was a lot more fun.

Thankfully, we had Maryann and Susan here for the rest of the weekend, so we spent the time watching DVDs of Ben Browder, Michael Shanks, Chris Judge, rewatching the SG-1 premiere, chattering, and shopping! And eating cake, of course.

I have to say that Part 2 of Avalon didn't disappoint, either. Mark was just here visiting today and right now I'm counting down to Queer as Folk. I don't know about everyone else, but last week's episode ranks up there as one of my all-time favorites. I can't wait to see what happens next.

So, nothing profound. Just lots of company the last week or so and lots of happiness with all the current TV viewing. I'm hoping to write some "real" reviews sometime this week.
