I usually don't post on Sundays. Today was different. As part of an agreement, I had to go to church for the first time in 20+ years. The agreement: Go to church or lose Atlantis Season 3 until I do. The things I get myself into. Sacrifices must be made, however, and I'm back to NFL watching in bed during the football season next week.
The Lord of the Zs continues his Sunday vigil next week, and will do so until football season ends. This is his second year in existence after a sore butt continuously complained for nine years of misery and in the butt's words, "hell in the Deathmobile."
Lord Z is going back to his cubicle to watch his football as soon as his disciple arrives in the palace.

September 30th
I have permission to do this on my blog after several e-mails between myself and Baron Destructo. So, each week after a viewing of the best show on TV, I will post a review of the episode in question. Today's Episode: Stargate Atlantis, Season 4, Episode 1: Adrift. Enjoy! This is taken from one of the e-mails.
Watched Adrift twice yesterday and I can sum it up in one word: Wow. The tension between McKay and Sheppard, the fight to save Weir, the asteroid sequence, the city protecting itself (the shield sequence with the wayward crewmen), McKay's defiance and last, but not least, the hyperspace safety protocol discussion. Exciting stuff. I was thinking along the same lines as Sheppard with regards to Weir's nanites being activated to the tune of screaming at my TV at McKay "You're an idiot!", with good reason. I actually shed a few tears at Ronon's frank and emotional (for him) admission to Weir. Weir going Replicator, that's going to be shocking, but not unexpected to this fan (think of the "You're an idiot" line).
Next episode: Lifeline
Got to go.

September 7
Great news, good news and bad news today:
The great news: My laptop computer came in yesterday. I stayed up til 5 in the morning playing with it (two eps of SG1, trying, in vain, to get a wireless connection going so I could hook up to the internet, and playing 'Family Feud' until I won fast money on the fourth try), and wound up with a stiff neck and a slight case of insomnia.
The good news: My fantasy football teams got off to a promising start last night (Riverdogs 27, Beavers 11) with 3 players playing for the Dogs and 1 for the Beavers. There are still glitches in the system, apparently, as the boys at ESPN erroneously gave the first touchdown reception to Reggie Wayne when it was my boy Marvin Harrison who caught it. All was well after 25 minutes of complaining. Marvin ended up with 14 fantasy points for the week. My kicker for both of my teams is Adam Vinatieri, who scored 11 points with 5 PATs and 2 FGs inside 40 yards. Reggie Bush ran into a great defense that surprisingly gave up just 10 points and left Reggie with just 2 fantasy points.
The bad news: My Beavers stunk the joint up after losing 34-3 to Cincinnati. Inexperience at QB was the downfall this week and may be for the season. 6 picks!?! Cincinnati's defense is good though, so it may just be a bump in the road.

September 4
Wow, what a weekend. Upset central as far as Michigan was concerned. Ranked fifth in the nation and they lose to Appalachian State. I could hear the screams of protest from faithful Michigan fans calling for somebody's job (the coach's, more often than not.) Schembechler is probably still restless in his grave as we speak.
Fortunately, there were no other upsets to speak of in football. The pro boys get started on Thursday. Hmmm..., Oregon State vs. Cincinnati or Indy vs. New Orleans? Tough call, there. How about both? Yeah, that sounds good. More Friday....
