I have a few rambling thoughts before I go to bed. None of them are Today’s Perfect Moment–so if that is what you came for, you could stop reading now, but I sincerely hope that you don’t.
On Blogging
I was doing a good job at first finding things to blog about. Lately, possibly due to a lack of outside stimuli, I don’t have much to blog about. I am happy that technology allows me to contact people and keep my job, but as good as that is, it doesn’t always equate to a Perfect Moment. I haven’t given up on the Perfect Moment, but after a day of online teaching, they are seemingly more elusive than before.
On Entertainment
I have started watching Stargate Universe. I picked up these DVD’s a long time ago. I remember they were quite cheap and up near the checkout at Best Buy. I think they were next to the complete Rat Patrol series–not sure why I didn’t pick them up, but I found them on YouTube a short time later. I like the show and I appreciate Science Fiction that is character driven and only uses the effects to enhance the story. It is definitely the darkest entry in the series, but that’s not a bad thing. Maybe it was influenced by the look of the rebooted Battlestar Galactica–or vice versa.
I have been watching a lot of videos on woodworking and woodworking shop organization. There are a lot of creative and talented people out there. They are making a lot of cool stuff. They also seem to get a lot of free stuff from tool companies or glue companies or accessories companies. I guess I misunderstood YouTube. You probably don’t make any real money from the channel, but maybe your hobbies or passions get funded. Doesn’t seem like a bad trade-off to me.
Weather
I seem to write a lot about weather. Now that my view is mostly the from window of my office/teaching studio/hobby room while teaching, the weather does seem a little bit weird. My girlfriend described today’s weather so precisely. She said that Winter and Spring were having a tug of war. Since it was sunny, then snowed, was sunny again, then snowed again, then became grey, I have to admit she might be right.
Using my time
I might be tired from working, but I am not completely worn out from the commute. As a result, I am getting a bit more done around the house. I make a to do list every day. While I don’t get them all done, I do managed to cross some of them off the list. I consider that a win.
I enjoyed SGU and was conflicted that it didn’t continue. It prompted me to go back and watch the entire SG1 and SGA series once again. I even managed to see the movies that I hadn’t seen before. Took me over a year to watch then all!
I quite liked SG1. I think the concept lent itself well to a franchise series. I haven’t watched a lot of SGA because I don’t have the space channel. I’ve seen a bunch of disjointed episodes and I only have an overall feel for the series.
SGA is very good and worth watching. I got it via a streaming service but it does be on the satellite channels here fairly regular. Not sure if any of them are US channels?
It is on the Space/scify channel here. I just don’t want to pay for more cable channels.

YouTube actually does pay their stars the big bucks! They get paid by amount of views, subscribers, & likes, I am pretty sure.
