Thought potpourri

* It's hard to take a sport seriously with an element called "twizzling". That said, the ice dancers are very pretty and work very hard and since both my DVD player and the PS2 have conspired against me, I'm going to watch ice dancing until 11:00 p.m. when BSG is on, which I shall then watch. And yes, I can make fun of the ice dancing vernacular with full knowledge of the fact that I routinely do movements in belly dancing that we call choo-choos.

* Saw Capote this afternoon with filmg33k. It was fabulous and meaty and I have a loooooong essay on the ethical implications of what he did in light of being a writer, with equal thoughts on that as an anthropologist. But I need more time to formulate what I want to say.

* Did Kundilani Yoga on Sunday morning, complete with chanting and meditation. The movement kicked my ass, and while the meditation was a little... out there for me, I was really.... touched by the experience in much the same way I was touched when I did field work with the Quakers and discovered how powerful and tangible and everychanging, how expressive silence in a roomful of people could be. I sort of maid myself sick though, not drinking enough water afterwards, driving down to Long Beach, stressing out and having wine. I was shaky and sweaty and disoriented and had to come home, drink a bunch of EmergenC and take a bath. I will go back to yoga. I liked the chanting.

* For the SG-1 fen, a question. Some part of my brain suggests that I've picked up by osmosis that Teal'c would not drink alcohol. Am I totally making that up? I certainly hope so.

Post-ep Fic

So in her reaction to "The Scourge", cofax7 had mentioned wanting some reaction to the destruction rendered there.

So, C., since your birthday fic is still in progress, a tiny post-ep. Again, bear in mind the gaping holes in my knowledge of canon. They're filling in slowly, but I still doubt that I've got everyone and everything nailed.
