Salute to Dom

Song Stuck on the Brain: Row, Row, Row Your Boat... watch the video clip and you'll understand.

I'm so sad to have learned that Dom DeLuise passed. He was one of my favorite people in Hollywood. He's done so many great things, and yet this clip from Stargate SG-1 is one of my favorites. I hope you enjoy it as I salute a great man and a great loss.

Tuesday Backtrack

I owe you all a post for Tuesday, I got sidetracked and never posted. SO, take a little trip in my time machine and I'll jump back a day.

Phew! Now I'm dizzy. :)

Song Stuck on the Brain: Don't Fall In Love With a Dreamer by Kenny Rogers



Did you all see the article on Yahoo! about the strange symbol found in a 175 year old brick warehouse in Manhattan? They have all kinds of people studying it, but they can't quite figure out what the symbol signifies.

I think I have a pretty good guess, but what do you all think?

Look closely now....

Yep. It's a Go'auld mothership landing.

I think the SG-1 crew used the Ancient's time traveling puddle jumper to go back and leave us clues. You know the stargate wasn't uncovered until the 1920's, but think how things could have been if they'd had a head start on solving the puzzle?

Farewell Friends...

Song Stuck on the Brain: Hushabye by The Beach Boys

I've spent the whole day saying, "Yay, tomorrow's Friday! I'll be homefree soon." Then it dawned on me. I have one very good reason to be sad tomorrow. It's no longer Stargate night.

Last Friday was the season finale for Stargate Atlantis. It will be returning in September 07. However, Stargate SG-1 is finished. The series finale left Angel and I heartbroken and yes, even teary last Friday night. There will be no more episodes with the intrepid adventurers Sam Carter, Daniel Jackson, Cam Mitchell, Teal'c, and Valla.

Yes, there will be at least two SG-1 movies to continue the saga (two guaranteed in 2008), but it's just not the same. The show could have gone another 5 years, easily. As much as I love Stargate Atlantis and will probably enjoy the new proposed spin off, it just won't ever be the same again.

How do you say goodbye to a group of people that you've invited into your home week after week for 10 years? They're no longer characters and actors, they're family. And for that, I dedicate this post to the best and longest running SciFi show to date: Stargate SG-1.

Good-bye team, I'll miss you.

Just for Fun

Song Stuck on the Brain: I Think I Love You by the Partridge Family

I'm so psyched over Stargate's return. Friday night was awesome, but now I can't hardly wait for NEXT Friday. So, to hold me over, I visited youtube.com for some clips. I found the TV spots for both series'. I love these. Mostly because....

With a little Stargate, Anything is possible...

John Shepherd from Atlantis

Sam Carter from SG-1

Teal'c from SG-1

Rodney McKay from Atlantis

Then, just for fun, I had to see what kind of Cheescake I am. This actually sounds really yummy.

You Are a Chocolate Mocha and Orange Cheesecake

Enthusiastic and intense, there's so much you love in the world... it's hard to do it all. You are good at getting things to mix - friends, flavors, hobbies. You're the master of fusion!

What Kind of Cheesecake Are You?

The Begining and The End

Song Stuck on the Brain: "Oh By Jingo" by Danny Kaye

The Begining -

It's Friday... SCIFI Friday... We get new Stargate tonight! YAY!!!! I've been antsy all day just anticipating the return of the best SciFi series ever. :)

It's a bittersweet celebration though, because it's also the harbinger of the end. These are the final episodes of Stargate SG-1. It's run for 10 seasons, longer than any other SciFi series. (In original episodes, not syndication.)

The exciting news is that the series may end, but the stories will go on. There are already two movies set to release this fall and a third Stargate spin off series will be joining Stargate: Atlantis in 2008. I'm psyched about that.

The End-

Sadly, the end is already here for Thor. My poor little Betta fish. He was kind of sluggish yesterday morning. Then in the afternoon I found him floating belly up in the bottom of his tank. He was still breathing, but I knew he was on his last fin.

My brother told me that he had heard putting frozen peas in the tank would save your fish if they were floating upside down. I figured it couldn't hurt to try, right? He's already halfway to the golden pond. So, I put the peas in around 4 pm. At midnight I found the peas in the bottom of the tank and the water really cloudy. Thor, now right side up, had bit the gravel.

So the peas did work - just not the way I'd hoped. Poor Thor. He'd been my fishy friend for more than two years, so he had a good life.

I'll probably be shopping for his successor this weekend. I'm still debating a name. So far all of my Betta's have been named for Stargate characters. T'ealc was my first.

Since it's a fighting fish, I try to go with warrior like names. I'm thinking of either Bra'tac or Ronan. Maybe I'll get more ideas tonight as I watch the shows. If any one of you are fans and have a name to suggest, leave a comment, I'd love to read your ideas.
