that was a beautiful game.

my baby made her first vid! i've always suspected she would have an uncommonly good sense of timing, given what i know of her voracious film-devouring habits and her film-based writing strategies. sadly, her practise exercise is done with a film i've never actually seen and therefore doesn't make much sense to me (that, and the vid is very visual and dancey). of course, it is still very pretty, because as she says, there's nothing wrong with paul walker and jessica alba in swimwear. you can be happily confused for four minutes or something. but the real significance of this event is that now she has taught herself to use final cut pro she will be able to make the real vids that we always talk about, but never make. she spent 20+ hours on this one, though, so i'm not planning to follow her into the abyss anytime soon.

also, we finally watched sga. i don't really have anything spoilery to say. i still like much of john's and rodney's dialogue (and ronon's), as well as teyla's abdomen, but i was bored for most of the episode. i didn't really like about half of season 2 very much anyway, and i think now the love is pretty much gone. however, i will still give it a shot next week as well. maybe i will like half of this season too.

meanwhile, i have already explained the premise of the slashy part of hikaru no go to wax_jism and so far she has mocked it far less than she ever mocked prince of tennis. i don't know if this is because she is becoming accustomed to my anime habits, or because she finds melodrama about board games more plausible than melodrama about ballgames, or because the essence of the slash setup is easier to outline in a few sentences. also, a ghost is always a nice outward signifier of coolness.

SGA does kind of suck. I watch it because I love McKay/Sheppard and because David Hewlett!, but it hasn't really been good since the first season.

there were some good eps in s2, i thought.

Yeah, I agree, I guess what I meant to say was consistently good. Season 2 was an eclectic mix of the good, the bad and the ugly, with some very good and some very, very bad.
