Observations

selenayColds are evil. More of a fact than an observation, but...
The worst of it is over. Got lingering snuffles, sneezes and earache, but the really icky stage is over and I should be OK for Wednesday. I'll just have to take plenty of tissues and cough really, really quietly because invigilators don't like coughers in exams. Have booked myself in for a flu vaccine at the end of the month.
Da had a boggle moment yesterday. Mom was teasing me about the Lois McMaster Bujold obsession (yup, I'm determined to read everything she's ever read because it's so fun to find a new author that I adore) and Da wanted to know what the books are about.
Mom: They're sci-fi.
Me: ::nods::
Da: Sci-fi? Really?
Me: Yup.
Da: Not scientific fantasy?
Me: Nope. There's spaceships and stunners and everything. *Real* sci-fi.
Da: ::boggles::
Looks like I've really got a rep for loving the fantasy. Da and I are both sci-fi/fantasy fans, but he leans towards SF in his reading while I lean (er, heavily) towards fantasy. Apart from an incredibly lame first chapter that never went anywhere, all my original fic ideas have been fantasy. Writing SG fic is quite a departure for me, with the science and the guns and the no magic and stuff. Da's ::boggle:: expression when he realised it was god honest sci-fi was rather comical :-)
Observation 2: George W. Bush makes me yell at the TV screen in complete frustrated rage.
Observation 3: I am a politics geek. Yes, I did video the debate on Friday (shown at 2am in England) to watch on Saturday. Damn, I can't wait until our election :-)
Observation 4: Spooks is incredibly cool. Yes, the new season debuted tonight and I was completely sucked in again. How long until the next episode?
Observation 5: Why do the American insist on renaming Spooks to MI5?
That last one was more of a question than an observation :-)

Gabriel. You're most like the ArchAngel of
Communication, in charge of things like
telephones, libraries, internet, and the 411
phone menu. You're organised and are not shy
about inflicting that organisation on others.
Which ArchAngel are you most like?
