10:51 pm - RIP Don Davis
Don Davis, who played the cantankerous father-figure of the Stargate SG-1, Major General George Hammond, passed away on June 29. We'll always remember Davis' terrific performance as the dad-like presence who yelled when he had to and made Teal'c roll his eyes with his bad jokes.

SG-1's producer, Joe Mallozzi shared that his favorite memory of Davis' was watching him work the conventions with fans. Many fans approached the General with trepidation (because of his character) but Davis was always incredibly charming with the fans and won them over immediately. Mallozzi also added that Davis was a true friend and, "had a bigger heart than his character that he played... and will be missed not just by the fans but by everyone who worked with him."

Davis' last Stargate appearance will be in the DVD movie Stargate: Continuum. We'll miss you always setting the crew straight, Don.

Got my Annual Review this morning...best darn review I've ever had. Not one negative thing on it. Woot!

On top of that, I get a 4% raise, which bumps me over the $20 an hour mark.

10:22 am - Happy Early Birthday
Came in today to cube decorations. What impressed me more though was the card envelopes. The cards inside were standard and signed by the team, but Trish went way overboard with the envelopes. Both are printed with WOW images, one a map of Azeroth and the other a bridge in the Ghostlands. Very cool. 

I'll scan them when I get home

current mood: geeky

AP: Obama has delegates for nomination
Tally follows Clinton sources saying she's ready to acknowledge
MSNBC staff and news service reports
updated 12:41 p.m. CT, Tues., June. 3, 2008

CHICAGO - Barack Obama effectively clinched the Democratic presidential nomination Tuesday, the Associated Press reported, citing its tally of convention delegates. He would become the first black candidate ever to lead a major U.S. party into a fall campaign for the White House.

NBC News has been maintaining its own tally, which stood at Obama being 30.5 delegates short of the 2,118 needed.

Let's say you're a hobgoblin for 24 hours. What sort of havoc would you wreak?

Or:

If a baby of unknown origins suddenly fell into your care, would you keep it? What would you name it?

6:52 pm - The revels have already begun
I was just walking around downstairs on my break and noticed that already the mood around my area of downtown has changed. There are lots and lots of young people walking around and quite a few in costume. 

Welcome AKon. Thanks for making my little corner of downtown more interesting for a few days.

10:56 am - Meme stolen from arioch1970
What do you want your Funeral to be like?
 
Type of Funeral: Wake

Method of Body Disposal:  Cremation

Theme: Circle of Life

Colors: Green and Grey

3 Songs: Circle of Life, Amazing Grace, Circle (by Harry Chapin)

Toast you'd like said over you: To all the ones who weren’t as lucky.

What you want your gravestone to say:  You have to be a friend in order to have a friend.

Memory of you that you'd most like people to keep: Laughing at a gathering with good friends and good food.
 
What you think your afterlife will be like?  Like nothing that I can conceive of now. What little I do understand of Heaven would leave me surrounded by love, and laughter and friendship.

Question you most want to ask God?  What is the purpose of pain?


current mood: gloomy

1:22 pm - Why I'm marrying this girl
Last night [info]elf044and I were sitting in bed and watching TV before we went to sleep. We happened to run acrosss Spike TV's "Star Wars Sunday" running of A New Hope. We caught it just as they were about to launch the Battle of Yavin. 

She still screams, shivers and laughs in all the right places. She enjoys that movie as much (or more) than I do since I tend to disect it more. 

God I love this woman.

current mood: happy
