So, everyone knows that I'm a big Michael Shanks...let me rephrase. That I'm a big Stargate fan. While I was happening to read Joseph Mallozzi's blog, I came on an entry that included a reference to one of Michael Shanks' new projects, 'Saving Hope'. It is, apparently, a medical drama with slightly supernatural aspects where Shanks is playing a doctor in a coma in his own hospital and walking around in spirit form. Erica Durance (you might know her from Smallville) is playing his wife.

This starts in the summer. I'm not sure how I feel about that except that summer shows on cable, like Burn Notice, tend to do pretty well. I'm hopeful. I'd love to see Shanks in another series.

Current Mood: sleepy

Okay, so both of my pups are going to be there. Or at least I'm assuming that Freddie's going to be there.

violet_quill is Prior going? If he is, Freddie will be his arm candy. If not, he may hover and then later get kicked out for smothering.

As it is, I will be spending the entire day at a friend's tomorrow watching movies/television. The way we all are social is that we all put our computers on our laps and play while we chat with each other.

Therefore: I want all of your threads. No, seriously. Freddie and Kon both need to meet all of the people and I'm more than willing to take all of your tags. I have a three day weekend, thanks to New Year's.

I, like everyone, despaired when I saw what was going to happen to my beloved comment function. There does appear to be hope on the horizon.

From Mark:

Note: The comment page redesign does not affect customized comment pages in S2, which can be enabled or disabled at http://www.livejournal.com/customize/options.bml. We are also planning to create a new S2 commenting style which will appear & function in the same way as the old site scheme commenting page to be included in the near future.

So, it sucks that they didn't decide to put the release back until they did this, but at least they've seen the need (finally) and are going to do something about it.

ETA: Oh, well. Hell.

Why not. It's the end of the semester and I could use some cheer. I'm right here at the love meme.

So, for the people who may or may not know, I'm a Library Science student in my second semester. One of my classes involves information in the digital age and culture. To study this, of course, we have to define what 'information' is. Is it a tangible thing or some concept? In this essay by Michael Buckland, I've come across a quote that disturbs me greatly not for any ideas it puts across, but for its progression of examples.

"Firstly, it leaves unanswered the question of what to call other informative things, such as fossils, footprints, and screams of terror."

...screams of TERROR. IDEK.

I'm bored. Anyone want one of mine?

Tabula Rasa

Year One

Or...well, I only have Nathaniel at Killjoy.

Daniel - Daniel has been surprisingly quiet lately. He's got some plot with Vala wherein they kind of do a reverse of him with the book because she's going to be running off looking for treasure all the time and he's going to be stuck more than once with William. He's still being there for Jack and Sam and will eventually meet Jonas, but otherwise he's being ridiculously quiet. Anyone have any plot he can be in?

Threads: All the usual people, any of his students, anyone who might be going stir-crazy

Kon - Kon is still dealing with everything and I think this is the point where he has to talk to Cassie in order to finally let it all go. He loves her, he does, but finding out that things weren't all sunshine and rainbows back in their world has helped, I think, with his guilt for things not working out here. Other than that, he's dealing with Tim being back and Clark on the island and is dealing with all kinds of friends and family drama. He has to find some Kon-way of apologizing to Tim and I think he may offer himself up for 'training'.

One thing I really want to do for him is give him some kind of adult figure he can look up to. He's done the teenager thing for a while, now, but I think it's time that he starts growing up. Some of what Wallace has said has actually hit home, but things are too weird with Lex and Clark and Toly for him to really look there.

Threads: The usual suspects, any teens he hasn't met, everyone

Freddie - Freddie's got a lot of plot going on, but it's mostly with a few people. He's learning 3-D Chess from Uhura and he's going to be fighting with Anatoly about all kinds of things: because of Fight Club, because of watching Chess, because of beating him soundly at 3-D Chess after he learns the basics and fiddles with some strategy. At the same time, he's going to grudgingly get to the point where he's not fighting as much because he actually kind of respects Toly. For a little while. It won't last, of course, but for a while he's going to be on edge a little. So anybody who wants to get in a fight or attempt to put him in his place (hah, good luck), feel free.

Threads: Anyone who knows Roger, Anatoly, or Prior, anyone who plays chess or wants to play 3-D chess, the usual suspects

I just recognized something about the creative thesis that I hadn't thought of while I was writing it. At least, I hadn't recognized it completely. I was writing about the control of information. He pointed that out and I had some ideas that I didn't really have time to add, but it didn't really hit me until I was reading some homework for the class that hasn't started yet.

"Should one focus on canons and traditions, or strive for diversity? Should archivists collect documents as amply as possible, or organize what they hold so that it will be more usable; for example, through digitization, which makes some collections accessible through computers?"

The Librarian character - and oddly, I didn't connect his character with the degree I'm going for next until now, either - was hoarding information instead of letting it be freely available. In short, he was creating a collection with a viewership of one. Two, if you count his assistant. Funny the things you think of after you turn in the assignment.

Tagging Hiatus:

This is for all of my games. I know I've be le suck lately. Finals are coming up and I've been having to work on my creative thesis. This means that I'm not going to be tagging.

For TR this means that while I will be tagging my pups in to the party later today, I won't be making the rounds or tagging back anyone until tomorrow.

TR people: I need your help.

I was reading a thread with Cissie and Claire and there was mention of his old costume. For those who don't know what that looks like, see below.

Now, he can get the outfit and the jacket from the clothes box. What I'm looking for is for someone to make him an earring (unless he can get that from the clothes box, too).

*Cling* We have been without internet for about the last 36 hours. I don't know how I went through an entire week without internet when I went to Disney. I suppose I just came home too exhausted.

I realize that I missed most of the planning for the truth or dare thread, but does anyone want Kon to ask them? I...have absolutely no idea what to ask, but I'd be willing to give it a shot.

Okay, Kon is in the mixer and I'll be top-leveling Freddie in the morning. Today was an unexpectedly full day. Good, but full. Tomorrow will be tagging like crazy.

Looking at my 20 year old self? I was a whiny, insecure little brat.

Once upon a time I had a comment meme on my journal. It showed that either I didn't post enough or no one comment much. Or both. Now, two years later, I do it again.

ETA: Clearly I just don't post enough. Sil, congratulations for making second place.
