doctor

Called doctor's office. B complex is normal. Folate is normal. Iron is normal. Mono test is negative. I guess the thyroid test isn't back yet and the chest x-ray results aren't in either.

I really wish there was some sort of answer because I still feel like crap and this is very frustrating. *cries*

stargate: atlantis artbook // waking seas

Two months in the works and I've finished my Stargate Atlantis artbook. Six pieces of original artwork inspired by the show.



Any and all feedback greatly appreciated, as always.

Thanks to cassiejamie for the quick beta *g*

I feel compelled to mention that the layout is cannibalized from an old web assignment, but I've tweaked it... so.. whatever.

will smith's dating tips; andromeda

There was nothing else one, so I stopped on Oprah After the Show and the cast of "Hitch" was on. They were talking about dating, of course, and an audiance member asked how much information is too much to give on a date. Will Smith's answer was pretty amazing. Actually, I'm pretty impressed with how intelligent the guy is. Anyway, these are Will Smith's tips for the first three dates:

Date 1: Illuminate & Communicate - spotlight what you like best about yourself. try to work that into the date somehow. (ie, if you're a good bowler, have the date at the bowling alley.) Don't monopolize the conversation. Try to keep it balanced. Eva chips in with, "it's like trying to sell a house." Which they all agreed with. Heh.

Date 2: Exchange & Range - this is when you get a bit more personal. Share stories about yourself and your family or whatever. That will probably encourage the other personal to share similar experiences. That's the exchange. To show range meaning you'd be just as suited to hanging out at home on the couch as you would be attending a fancy dinner party.

Date 3: Keep It Real - letting all the "leak pipes" show, as it were. Personal habits and quirks that you can't hide and will come out eventually - you might as well lay them on the line here. He says that around the third date you should have an idea if you could be in a relationship with this person and vice versa. No need to pretend to be perfect and spend 5 months with a person before you finally realize you can't deal with them. Makes good sense.

Interesting stuff.

So... I'm watching an episode of Andromeda and since I've only ever seen a handful of season1 and 2 episodes... I'm totally lost. Anyone on my flist able to to just explain what the deal is with Becca being the Nietzchian matriarch? Because.. I totally don't get it. Also.. where did Doyle come from? She's a droid like Romy, right? Also... what is Trance's deep dark secret?

Randomly: Hey! Steven Bacic! :D I met him at I-CON! And had no idea who he was, but I got a hug because we presented him with a SG-C.net plaque XD Still need to get those photos from Zippy... or Dion.. or whoever has them because HUG! From SG-2 team leader! :D

atlantis; new photos

"The Defiant One" is still one of my favorite episodes. There is drama. And humor. And snark. With John Sheppard running around being all cool and *dreamysigh* I lurve me some Sheppard.

Does anyone have a mov file of the new Stargate Atlantis teaser? It's the longer one with clips of the new characters and Rodney dancing with some girl. And Sheppard saying a really silly line at the end. I want to make icons of the heroic poses in rain and possibly them wading through the pool of water.

In other news, and mostly for jen_ella because she asked if I had photos of tulips, I uploaded photos of tulips. And some other plants I happen to have in my yard. Plus, bees.
