raven: [hello my name is] and a silhouette image of a raven (photo negative)
"God, you thought we'd be like them homophobic weirdoes. As if."

Quote for the day, though I can't remember exactly who said it. The great thing is, it could have been any of a dozen people. I am having such a positive coming-out experience.

Other than that, I'm back at school and this is a bad thing. I still hate school as much as I did in kindergarten, and it doesn't seem like the same place any more. [livejournal.com profile] quackaquacka has complained it's like walking through a giant banana, and she has a point. Painting the entire place yellow and blue continues. Our "corporate colours", apparently. Since when were we corporate, I wanted to know.

Since always, yes, but public school or not, it's still a school. You can't treat it like an ordinary business. The library has thus far been left alone. I'm glad, although it dawned on me today that it's unlikely to be touched for a while; the amount of bookshelves, computers and assorted bits of assorted furniture that would have to be removed is too much to be practical.

We have, as yet, no snow. It started in the morning but didn't stick, much to my chagrin. I seem to have missed all the snow this year. It snowed when I was in India, I remember, and I think it snowed in Oxford not long after I'd come home.

Anyway. I got more birthday presents today (I don't think I object to this celebrating-it-for-a-month thing) from Sarah. A notebook from the Science Museum, rainbow-coloured (I loved it, so appropriate) and a t-shirt with the caffiene molecule on the front! Unfortunately it didn't give the full structural formula, but you can see it's based around a benzene ring with possibly two alkyl groups, with a weak base group attached, too.

I'm a geek. It is of the cool.

It was Miranda's birthday yesterday, which is also of the cool. She wouldn't let us sing.

Um. There were things of importance I had to say, but I can't really remember. I watched Letters From Pegasus (finally!) which I will review later, and I'll do the commentaries later as well (so far you want Love Story, Walking Barefoot..., and Like Dead Flowers), and blah, blah, I'm boring.

I'm also bored, and I shouldn't be. My to-do list has multiplied and spawned three child-lists. Instead of looking at them, I want to make smoothies. Banana ones with honey. And sort out my userpics. Anonymous person who bought me extra userpics, thank you again. It was terribly sweet of you. I did think of renewing it now it's expiring, but I've decided against it. I'm so picky that I still have twenty spaces left, and really, fifteen is quite enough for me (I have trouble filling even them sometimes).

Maybe smoothies can replace food? Or maybe coffee can? My parents are out and I so cannot be bothered to cook anything, and that includes putting stuff in the microwave to congeal.
raven: [hello my name is] and a silhouette image of a raven (Daniel/Rodney)
I watched this last night while trying to write essay of doom (agriculture vs. conservation, courtesy of Rice-Oxley).

Letters From Pegasus )

But I have major Issues with Atlantis. I haven't actually watched all that much of it - Rising parts one and two, Suspicion (I think it was called?) and Letters To Pegasus makes four. I don't know... I just don't like certain aspects of it. The main one is the Wraith - they're a blah enemy. They're not like the Goa'uld, who were the coolest villains around at one time, they're just aliens. Who are evil. Blah. And why does every galaxy have to have a mega-enemy, anyway?

And none of the characters really grab me, either. I don't really share in the general woobie!Shep love, and Weir annoys me as a general thing. I don't know why this is, as I liked her in SG-1.

That said, I like the touches of humour, the SG-1 continuity, and really like Beckett, Zelenka and particularly Rodney, who is the best thing ever. I adored him when he was a bit-player in SG-1 - dumb blondes! lemon chicken! being a concert pianist! - and he is just as fabulous here. And I feel like I ought to make more of an effort and actually watch some episodes because then I might like it.

But then I think I'll go to all the effort of downloading the files and then find the episodes really boring.

See? Issues.

And it seems smoothies really can replace food.
