Lazy day update

[locker_monster]

- First week back at work. I didn't do anything for the first two days because, as usual, nothing was set up properly. Oh well, at least I got paid to sit around. Things should pick up next week now that I have access to everything. And I don't mean to speak ill of my co-workers, but after poking around the reports and files I used to handle, I have a vague feeling that nothing was done correctly after I left. Probably because no one had time to maintain everything. See, this is why they should have kept me on. I would have kept everyone organized.

- The project moved buildings in the interim, so now I have to commute downtown, but it does give me more time to read. I finished a book yesterday and I'm already a third of the way through the fourth book in The Expanse series. I didn't think I would get to Cibola Burn so quickly, but when I saw that it was available, I had to download the ebook from the library. Sometimes I have nothing to do at work, so it's nice to have a book on my phone so I can sneakily pass the time. Plus, I don't have to lug around a brick of a book in my backpack.

- The Star Trek con I'm attending in August announced Scott Bakula as a guest and it's a big deal since he doesn't do a lot of cons. And I get his autograph for free! It's complimentary with my ticket package. So I have to decide what he should sign; like, do I buy a photo there or do I bring something from home that's free? I didn't love Star Trek Enterprise, but when the man is literally giving away his pricey autograph, you can't turn it down. Maybe I'll find a Quantum Leap photo. ;-) I loved him in that show.

- With the major TV shows done for the season, it's nice to have the evenings free. I'm catching up on DVDs and whatnot. My library got a bunch of new Doctor Who DVDs in, so I'm slowly making my way through them. And I saw today that they finally released "The Underwater Menace" on DVD. This is probably old news, but it was new to me. I guess that means all of the existing episodes have finally been released to the public.

- Speaking of Doctor Who, filming for season ten starts in two weeks. Of course, we won't see the bulk of their efforts until some time next year. Damn you, sporting events, getting in the way of new episodes!

I didn't care for Enterprise either, because of the bad plotting, although I liked the characters okayish. The beagle was great, though! I'm sure that there will be QL photos for you to have signed. :)

The concept was cool, but the execution of the idea never really worked. I did love Porthos! Animals, pets especially, on spaceships are always fun.

But would it be weird, to ask Scott Bakula to sign a Quantum Leap photo at a Star Trek convention? Though, I suppose, people ask them to sign strange things all the time.

Here's a secret fan thing! Actors love to be asked abt previous roles, just not what they are starring in at the moment or what they are most famous for. If I got around to meeting Scott, I'd ask him abt his work in musicals, as example. So, no weridness at all.

Last weekend, Paul McGann was at Timegate. After the interviews, questions were taken from the audience. I asked a question each day, one abt working on 'Luther' and abt 'Withnail & I'--great round of applause from the audience! He was perfectly happy to answer, too. :)

If you want to friend my LJ, that would be great! And you can read abt Timegate!

Considering I can barely get a word out when I meet actors, asking Scott about Quantum Leap seems doubtful. ;-) But yeah, an actor just isn't one role, so I guess it wouldn't be weird.

Just friended you. I've heard about Timegate but I haven't read much about it. Now I can. :-)

Friended you back! I have to remind myself that actors are just people, too, a lesson that my parents taught me, luckily! But most of them still like to talk a lot! ;) Just ask a good question and off they go!
