PROGRAMMING NOTE from the Author and Archivist


So obviously I just stopped blogging on this platform. I'll get back to it eventually. Or not. I'm taking a break from all social media. It seemed necessary for my mental health.

The last few years have been busy and … challenging:

- 2015 Happened.
- 2016 Let's call it The Lost Year. (Obviously words failed me.)
- 2017 about broke me. Literally. Mentally.
- 2018 was ridiculous, proving 2017 was just a warm up. (Good thing I was already broken so it couldn't hurt as much.#2018TrashCanFire I thought things were going okay, but maybe not?)

- 2019 was such a blur. I know there were highlights, but then stuff happened and carried into the next year...

- And then in March#2020 really took a turn. Who can even categorize 2020? Do we dare?


I kinda want a do-over of some of the last few years. But life doesn’t work that way.


So for now, I'm hunkering down. Regrouping. Trying to stay safe and sort some stuff out.


Stay safe everyone. Stay well.

Quote/Advice of the Day

I am a leaf on the wind. ~ Serenity (2005)

Sometimes you just have to go where the wind takes you, and live life hour by hour.

That's Auntie Nettie's advice for the day.

Aliens Among Us

Yesterday's entry about Spock got me to thinking. There are so many sci-fi shows, books, and movies, not to mention mythologies about sightings, pictographs around the world with unexplained depictions of unknown creatures, that I have to begin to believe that aliens have been, and are, actually among us.

I think they navigate here through the solar system, using stars and planets as their guides.
They disguise their spaceships in different forms, but always with the saucer format and those ominous glowing balls of light.
They take over strange creatures as their hosts. (That's the only explanation for this photo that I can think of, not to mention the pitch of this chick's voice and many mannerisms!) When the host passes on, the only evidence of their true natures is craftily hidden away on stone markers for future generations to puzzle over.
So I took these in the Nathan Hale Cemetery in Coventry, CT ... Doesn't mean that some of our colonial fore parents weren't aliens. Just saying.

If I had a million £ ...

I'd be on a Virgin Atlantic flight to London faster than you can say Cheerio!

Why?
Imagine one sci-fi nerd/librarian/former English Major/Shakespeare lover, finding out that:


and



are appearing in Hamlet together

RIGHT NOW at the RSC!


This better hop the pond to the Great White Way.
I'm just saying.
This AngloSciFi-le demands it!

Plus, there's this!
My favorite painting AND David? Raptures!

RIP - George Hammond/Don S. Davis

Just got some very sad SciFi news. I feel like I've lost a grandpa. (Look, if you spent as much time watching SciFi and Stargate as I have over the years, you'd be upset too.)

Stargate's Davis Is Dead

Gateworld reported that Don S. Davis, who played Maj. Gen. George Hammond on SCI FI Channel's Stargate SG-1 for seven seasons, died June 29 after suffering a heart attack. He was 65.

Citing Davis' wife, Ruby Fleming-Davis, the site reported that a family memorial will take place in a few weeks during which Davis' ashes will be scattered in the ocean; fans were asked to make memorial donations to the American Heart Association.

Davis left the regular cast of SG-1 in 2003 because of a medical condition that restricted his workload, but he made several guest appearances on the show and its spinoff, Stargate Atlantis.

A native of Missouri, Davis had a 26-year career that included many roles on TV series, notably Maj. Garland Briggs on Twin Peaks. He met SG-1 co-star Richard Dean Anderson on the set of MacGyver, on which he worked as a stunt double for actor Dana Elcar. *

Davis' final Stargate appearance is in Stargate: Continuum, the upcoming straight-to-DVD movie. He will also appear in the films Vipers, Woodshop and Far Cry.


*Which explains why I always thought that it was strange that he looked like Pete from MacGyver.
