1) Nine more days until Stonehenge Apocalypse!!! It stars Misha Collins, Torri Higginson, Hil Harper, Peter Wingfield, and Brent Stait. That's a lot of something for everyone. Sadly destined to be a horrible Syfy movie of the week crapfest but it's going to be awesome seeing favorite actors trying their best to convince me that Stonehenge is out to END THE WORLD.

*sigh* Once again the archaeologists are cast as the bad guys as they seem to kick off this version of the apocalypse.

2) O HAI Robert Wisdom! Supernatural's Uriel is now Burn Notice's Vaughn. Nice to see him again, this time in suits properly cut for him. He's looking good but I find it hard to trust him.

3) A Quick Guide to Understanding the Channel Mixer by [livejournal.com profile] nomadicwriter -- Handy tool, that channel mixer. Extra happy making is the Teal'c icon on the tutorial.

4) Spent today at the Houston Holocaust Museum. The architecture, more than reminiscent of a crematorium, was disturbing. That was the point of course, but the psychology of willingly walking into it was unsettling; just the first of many, many disquieting experiences. The audio tour was narrated by Mandy Patinkin and was one of the better ones I've ever heard. No point in lingering on the bad other than to say that it never fails to horrify and depress me. I'd heard about Denmark's remarkable actions before but now I know more. One of the few moral bright spots in a dozen years of depravity.

Oh yeah, just like Hollywood's movies like Basic Instinct accurately reflect the way that men are so often the victims of violence at the hands of obsessive women. Or portrays Native Americans as bloody-thirsty, scalping savages. Apparently, being on the losing end of the murder-sprees guarantees that one will forever be remembered as the perpetrator.

Delaware! I have driven through; stopped in Newark for lunch. I always wanted to go back but haven't had a chance. SO much I want to do; so little vacation time and money.

I meant to bring up that a trip to a Holocaust museum was in order for the likes of Glen Beck, who invoke parallels to Nazis and Hitler as if they were garden variety thugs.

Ain't that the sickeningly hypocritical truth.

It's such a *small* state. But then, everything over here is small compared to the northwest. I kinda like it this way. Better service from the gov't, that's for sure.

Yes. The daily offenses that hate-monger and his ilk spew out makes me believe they're all mentally ill juvenile offenders. No other excuse or reason for that crap.
