It's supposed to be spring!! Yet it's snowing so hard I can't see across the street!! Grrrr! I'm tired of snow.
That sucks.
Spoiler:
we've had the most dreadful winter in southern ontario. at one point it was 6 feet of snow! SIX FEET I TELL YOU!! and there still this one tiny pile of it in my neighbour's yard, away from the sunlight... cuz today it was about 22 degrees celscius for a change
Becky's like that too. We had a hurricane hit us one night way back in 1987. It levelled thousands of trees in the south of England and caused untold damage to buildings. We lost half the roof tiles from our house and they were ripped off right over Becky's room. You couldn't walk in the street that morning without treading on shattered roof tiles.
She slept right through it! Inch thick concrete tiles flying off just a few feet above her and she didn't stir. I still don't sleep well on windy nights.

OT Harry Potter question:
Spoiler:
Would this be the time when the giants and Voldemort's supporters tore up that area? JKR has amazing attention to detail, even down to the hurricaines and the earlier drought.

You poor thing! Where are you? We are FINALLY into spring in Michigan. Thought it would never come this year.
I feel your pain.
In spoiler for off topic:

I am living on a mountain in the Cascades (in Washington). I worked at a ski resort for the winter, we got over 500" of snow this season. It's been fun, but the resort is closed, the lifts are off, and it's still snowing!!! ::great big sigh:: It just really irks me 'cause I was really hoping to get off the mountain this weekend, go see the Pacific, maybe even go to the rain forest (who knew there was a rain forest in Washington?!?!). This is my last weekend before I fly home. Oh well, there's always next year.
No pessimist ever discovered the secret of the stars or sailed to an uncharted land or opened a new heaven to the human spirit.
that is probably the only things she can cook then eh, of course that would make sense for Sam. she can't cook but the things that are the hardest to make, she is able to make.
And what does it mean 'make a mean soufflé'?? Maybe it means to Sam that it does taste okay, compared to other stuff she tried making. To be honest I don't think Sam has much time to cook or to explore that side of her.
Although we know as a kid she must have loved it. I mean she was making cookies when her dad told her that her mom passed away...so maybe that was the time when she stopped cooking... who knows
Maybe she can only do complicated stuff like sufle, but not something simple like boiling eggs. Cause like the Asgard lost the ability to think in simple terms and needed humans to help againts the Replicators, Sam will need someone dumber to help her cook. Hmmm...maybe McKay knows how to cook.

Spoiler:
not if it was in 1987, cos Harry was born in 1980, so that wouldn't fit...
I just saw something interesting and wanted to get your opinions.
Lara Croft Tomb Raider was on TV this morning wearing black leather pants with funky strips across the knees. My eyes bugged out of my head and I immediately thought 'She stole Sam's pants!'
Do you suppose Sam's Atlantis black leather pants with the funky strips across the knees are an 'homage' to Lara Croft?
Do we gave to go away to be cool?
Slighlyt drunk.

I have slept through huge storms, earthquakes, the burglar alarm going off and the police arriving at our house in the middle of the night, lights flashing and everything.
No wonder I'm so buggered in the morning...it's a rare thing for me to sleep through storms or kids or fire trucks...I sleep best in the early hours of the morning...I swear I must be nocturnal!!!
"I'm a lousy cook, and I couldn't spin weave or dye if my life depended on it.
(quote is from Emancipation if you were wondering )
I was thinking of that same quote when I started reading the posts...I'm thinking that she was being a bit on the sarcastic side when she said that.
We know she can bake not only cookies but soufflé and macaroons!!
I'm betting that being the scientist and genius that she is, dyeing wouldn't be a problem...spinning and weaving...I bet if she was shown how, she'd pick it up easily...I don't think there's anything that Sam can't do!!
Ooh...so does that mean I'm an artistic scientist??!!
A nice quick catch up tonight...just as well...being a Saturday night and all...I am a little too tired so I'm putting junior to bed then might lay down myself!!
Night night all, take care and have fun!!

*tries to imagine Sam as Laura Croft* bleghhhh! that doesn't fit well with me.... but the pants! she so stole Sam's pants!
as for the 'homage' bit, I don't think it was entirly intentional by the costume dep.... maybe they just saw the design and liked it, but not like 'we're trying to realte her to Sam' kinda thing... cuz that would be wrong on so many levels....
