skip=eleventy billion!

Oh man, them is a lot of LJ posts to get caught up on.

I survived a weekend of family, which I think is to my credit; I haven't seen one sister for a couple of years now, and our relationship has never been good, but this weekend everything went relatively smoothly. On Saturday (an absolutely gorgeous day) we went to Maine--not a proper visit in my book, because I did not get to see a [livejournal.com profile] dogeared--and walked around Two Lights and revisited the Portland Head Light.



I love the thought of Rodney explaining to John how the Fresnel lens works, or, you know, thinking about John Sheppard, the lighthouse keeper who is pretty happy to be left alone up in his lighthouse, and Rodney McKay the mason/engineer, who comes out on occasion to check the tower and replace the lens (because it's a poorly-cast piece of crap, as he informs John one day).

Anyway.




Hallo!


In other news: I should go do working things now.

.eta: Wow, I only now discovered that I ran my memory stick through the wash, and it still reads! Wow.

I can't believe it! The odd thing was, just the other day I was making noises about getting a new one, because this one is slightly bent and battered and only 128MBs. When I saw the memory stick in the washer, I was both horrified (because there's stuff on there, although most of it's backed up) and relieved (an excuse to get a new one!) Out of curiosity, I popped the drive in the USB port, and it read right away. Sigh :D
