Back to Atlantis

I’m back…did you miss me? I have no worthy explanation of why I stopped blogging for four months (was it more than that?) but I’m back and I’m continuing my rewatch of Stargate Atlantis.

No, no, no. That’s too boring. Let’s see… um… I haven’t been posting because I solved a complex puzzle in a video game, and then an Air Force General and a brilliant but troubled scientist showed up on my doorstep to offer me a job in space. I thought it was a joke, but when I shut the door on them they beamed me up to their spaceship full of pretty people where I wandered around in my jammies for a while and provided comic relief. And math. They wanted me to do a lot of math, but when they discovered that I’m more a language person than a numbers person (and they already have a perfectly good language person–some hot nerdboy named Daniel something-or-other), they beamed me back down.

As a consolation prize, they got me a great job at a big corporation, writing manuals and going to wine tastings. All-in-all, not a bad gig (especially the wine tasting part), but I miss the spaceship and the pretty people, particularly that cute linguistics expert who did the training videos. He seemed like a nice guy, very well-informed. They should have given him more time to make those tutorials, though; he seemed to be talking awfully fast. Or maybe he’d had too much coffee.

Yeah, that’s way better than me just being tired and desperately seeking work to the point of having zero brain energy left for blogging (and yet, plenty for Twitter…go figure).

I’m on Atlantis disc 5 of season 2, but I’m doing things differently than I was before (mostly because I’ve come to my senses). This time, instead of watching and reviewing all four episodes and all of the special features on a disc and posting the reviews at the same time, I’m going to watch one episode per night and post a review and then end the week with the special features review.

I’ll put up non-Stargate content, too, probably on the weekends. I’m a nighttime poster, so I’ll put up my little posts in the evening.

I promise not to drop off the face of the planet for this long again. Unless that hot nerd-boy linguistics guy in the leather jacket wants to beam me up to his spaceship for a private tutorial and wine tasting (I’m finding it hard to part with the wine tastings). If that happens, just write me off. I’m on the other side of the galaxy living happily ever after with the nerd of my dreams.
