Happy Thanksgiving!

I hope the day treats you well, no matter what holiday shenanigans you are up to.
As for me, I'm keeping it simple. I'm wearing my fleece pajama pants, drinking tea, and watching all of the Night at the Museum movies.
Last year, it was all of the Indiana Jones movies and I think I'll shoot for all of the Ghostbuster Movies next year. We shall see.
I am resisting Christmas movies until December 20th. Christmas decorating started going up at Halloween, and that's just wrong.
Happy Thanksgiving!
p.s. This morning, I attempted to make cranberry sauce from scratch. It's going to be okay, much to my surprise. I made a mistake with the amount of water, put the sugar in at the wrong time, and basically boiled the crap out of it until it turned into something resembling cranberry sauce. Tastes like it should though. Must be a Thanksgiving miracle.
p.s.s. Where I live, we have high wind warnings and possible power outages looming throughout the day. So, I've charged up the laptop, the phone, my kindle, and have a power bank standing by.
It's a good day to stay inside and stay warm.
books read
Nov. 25th, 2025 07:09 pmmelaganI read a lot. Two to three books a week, plus fanfic. (I'm currently working on my SGA Santa assignments so I'm not reading quite as much fanfic right now.)
If you like sci-fi and action, I can recommend The Fold by Peter Clines and The Razor by J. Barton Mitchell.
Both are action-packed (should you be trying to write action scenes you might find it helpful) and have engaging, well-defined characters. The hero survives, which is important to me, at least.
It's damn hard to find good sci-fi. It's one of the reasons I'm thrilled (and nervous) about Stargate making a comeback after 14 frigging years.
I'm speculating that they'll do a New Teams First Experience through the gate scenario. In part because Hewlett suggested it many years ago as a screenplay, in part because Star Trek is doing Star Trek Academy, and in part because it lets all of the previous canon remain intact.
Or maybe they'll toss the spaghetti and see what sticks to the wall.
I remember my feelings with Sam Carter was sent to Atlantis. I was so nervous the writers were going to fuck it up. They didn't.
I have similar feelings about this new chapter of Stargate. *fingers crossed*
