I don't need the show to be about their connection to earth and earthly things. I just dug that there was a question of whether or not Earth is a myth. Somehow, that drew me in. And that some of Earth's own myths survived made it better. Prior to that, I assumed they were humans of earthly origin, but didn't know why they were in space or anything else (or if they were human-like life forms who originated from other planets) or what I was into. Knowing they're earthlings so far away from home that they don't even know if it truly exists/existed, (and the fact that they've looked for earth) made it click for me. They're not just astronauts.

ita, have you been doing this all sans headache today? or just in between headaches?
I had a productive lunch today: bank, library, bookstore, food, and a national mounument.
Now to motivate getting a thing or two done tonight.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The not-having-to-spend-all-that-time-at-work is definitely the best part about unemployment.
I just want to say, I'm pretty sure whatever happened here earlier was not my fault, but I do need to remember to renew our domain(s).

OK, there's a woolite carpet cleaning ad. It seems like a singularly goofy device. Functional, sure, but goofy and nothing a brush and a spray bottle can't do. But its slogan: "Squeeze, rub, groom and done."

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
in between headaches?
Well, after one. Got struck down in the doctor's office.

Oh, god, yes. I keep thinking there must be some way to keep it this way -- money but no job -- and I'm just too dumb to have worked it out.
You'd think I'd get over that, huh?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
And that some of Earth's own myths survived made it better.
(See, this is why I didn't like the recap special.)
It's the other way around -- they're not from Earth, we're from Kobol. We're the lost tribe.

I keep visiting our pumpkin cookie jar, which is filled with Halloween candy (peanut M&Ms, 100 Grand bars, and Peppermint Patties). I need to stop.

It says way too much about your ordeal that I'm thinking you maybe only had one today, and how great that is, if it's so.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
ita, I'm still looking for that.
sarameg, I think I've found my new tag.
