No brainer
Tuesday. Evening of nothing. My chance to piss time away down the toilet of life. Fuky'all this is Me Time.
Still, went to see Grandma in her home for an hour after work, then to Sainsburys for some tea and cleaning products (mustn't get those two mixed up) and finally - finally - this is me. With Nothing To Do Except Veg.
I did exceptionally well in not buying the "Doctor Who" Tardis-shaped DVD box set whilst at the superbmarket. And I managed to not buy "Batman Begins", or three other DVDs in the 3-for-20 quid special offer. Or the "Alias" season 3 box set. But. But! I did fall foul of the wicked marketing scams involving Cadbury's Jaffa Cakes (yes, Cadbury's) and some sugar-free jelly sweets as recommended by friend Kev.
Let's examine the schedule:
1. Pizza.
2. Wine.
3. Read emails.
4. Catch the end 10 minutes of "Top Gear".
5. All new season 9 episode of "Stargate SG-1" (featuring "Farscape"'s Ben Browder (and one of the future Mrs Boredofjams, Claudia Black, up until she got sucked into a black hole last week - damn those quantum singularities)).
6. Resident Evil 4 into the wee hours.
Now I'm a bit of a casual "Stargate" viewer, and I'm only really watching this series as it's supposedly a "new start" with Crichton taking over as leader of the pack and Macguyver leaving to spend more time with his Grecian 2000.
But, how come:
* Teal'c has hair and gets more like Mr. Spock with every passing episode (right down to the raising of an eyebrow when a puny human suggests something 'crazy' and a big ceremonial cloak 'a la' "Search for Spock")
* They can teleport now? Teleport? Jeez. I guess one kind of amazing instantaneous space-travel just ain't enough for some on-going sci-fi series.
* Beau Bridges? The last time I saw this guy, he was in "The Fabulous Baker Boys".
Still I suppose it will do while I wait for the second-half of the second series of the new "Battlestar Galactica" to air in the US and there ain't going to be any more "Farscape" any time soon (if ever).
Beh, zombie killin' time...
