First Post

Well, it's my first post. Welcome to my inner world.

I suppose it should be pointed out that I turn 31 on Monday. And while I'm stuck in Portland, Oregon (where I live), I'd rather be in California with my best friend celebrating with her. Oh, well. Life's no picnic for me. I'm fairly sure that while I have a degree in Geography, I lack the experience necessary to get a job in the field. With that in mind, I'm working on an alternative that plays to my strengths (or vices).

What are they, you ask? Over time, they will be revealed. For now, I'll reveal two: Sports and Stargate (the series franchise).

I am a huge sports fan. Can't get enough sports. Football season is almost here. Baseball is on the stretch run for the playoffs. Basketball, which my roommate hates, is in the offseason for another 6 weeks.

Fantasy wise, I have two fantasy football teams going this year to make up for a faulty computer which caused me to go 5-8 last year (not bad after an 0-4 start). I'll make up for it this year, though. As far as basketball fantasy goes, we'll see. My usual option was taken out three years ago, although I had a pretty successful five year run. I don't do baseball now and probably won't do it again. A 162-game season with very little breaks is too much for me to handle. There was a period of two years where I did do it, but now...

Now for my second vice, and a pretty strong one at that. Stargate. Own everything from the movie to the final season of SG-1. Atlantis, too. With season 3 coming out in September (18th to be precise) to DVD and season 4 arriving on Sci-Fi channel on the 28th, I'm pumped. I must admit the commercials are going to be a pain, since I have everything on DVD. I wonder, with the production of season 4 winding down, if there will be a season 5.

It will be interesting to see one of my favorite actresses adjusting from what was an earth-based series (SG-1) to an outpost in another galaxy (Atlantis). It's funny, because this actress and I, while 11 years apart, are a day apart in birthdays. I have not met her and, unless there's a twist of fate, will never meet her.

Um, that should read not. "Never say never" as the saying goes. I'll leave it to you to figure out who this actress is...
