Stargate logoSince my last post touched on the topic of Stargate SG-1, I thought I’d take the time to say goodbye to what has been one of my favorite shows for the past 10 years (since I was 18!). I’m going to iss it. Stargate Atlantis is nice, but there’s something about SG-1.

The good news is, according to GateWorld, there will be two SG-1 movies sometime in the near future. That’s pretty cool.

Also, Amanda Tapping (Colonel Samantha Carter) will be making several appearances on Stargate Atlantis.

We are the champions

Peyton Manning For years growing up, watching the Colts, I dreamed of what it would be like if they were in the SuperBowl. Even when they were the lowest of the low, we used to go to their games and be so excited if they even won one game. Now they’ve reached the pinnacle. They are the best of the best. Congratulations Indianapolis.

The new house

Saturday, September 9th, 2006

I haven’t posted in a while because we’ve been moving in and getting settled. We haven’t moved much furniture yet (still trying to decide on movers), but other stuff is slowly trickling over. Yesterday, we got the curtains up. I’ll have pictures soon, inshaAllah. For now, just be patient. My full-time blogging will return.
