It's raining with steady determination here at the moment (hardly a surprise, in November in the UK), and what I really, really feel like doing is taking my laptop and spending the day sat in a coffee shop. I'm going to see if I can take this Friday off, to do just that. I hope it's still raining by then.
I'm also thinking about going ice skating. I love it (even though I sometimes end up with bruises when friends take me down with them,
secretrebel ;-) ), but I very rarely go. A lot of great places open up ice rinks in the winter, here - so I could go skating outside the Tower of London, or the Natural History Museum, for example.
I watched Solitudes last night, in preparation for
redial_the_gate tomorrow. Damn I love that one (although I'm curious as to how much they broke science with Daniel and Siler's explanation of wormhole physics). I rewatched Enigma, too, belatedly. I like Omoc. He's very honest - and his disapproving expressions make me laugh. Narim, however, I find borderline repellant. I feel like he'd be very controlling, were Sam to actually get into a relationship with him - in a "Why don't you wear this? You'd look lovely in it," sort of way. Ugh. I'd like to know what someone else - Janet, Daniel, or Vala, maybe - would have made of his emotion recording device. And how accurate is it? Does it record every emotion? Will she get a mish-mash of 'Samanthalookslikeanangel/thiscathaslovelysoftfur/i'dlikeasandwich'? Or is it
editable? Creepy. I would run a mile, I tell ya.
So, yeah - as you can probably tell, I haven't really got anything to say. I just felt like I'd not been posting in a while. :)

A huge ice rink opens in Princes Street Gardens this week. It's the start of the offical Christmas events here. The City Christmas Lights get switched on, on Thursday. I'm very wary of ice skating. Broke and disclocated my right wrist skating. But, am always persuaded to give it a try every year at this time. Even though I spend most of my time clinging to the barrier :)
Ah Nairm....very creepy...never liked him.
Oh, NaNo...
