My friend made a comment about the new movie, "New Moon" and then apologized if I was offended by her comment thinking that I am a fan.

And then my response to her started, now why would you think that I would be into “Twilight”?

I know I've been silence for the most part about the Twilight's books. I have friends who like the books and then I have friends that I'm not even sure have heard about the books. They haven't commented about the books anyway.

This was my first con. So this was an interesting experience for me. Let me say this I miss this SHOW all the more after meeting Rachel, Joe and seeing Paul (up close and personal, and that accent). They do seem to genuinely care about each other. You know, I am one of those fans who have been vocal about the bad writing by the writers, none more apparent than for Season 5 in my opinion, and my perceived lack of love and support by the TPTB for their own show and characters. I don't apologize for my feelings. I miss these characters. I'm so upset with the lost potential for stories and character development. SGA ended too soon in my opinion. This was the show I came home on Friday's night to watch even if I was out with my friends for Happy Hour or something. I had to get home to see SGA.

Alright, that is my mini rant.

Now for some con moments…

I found an interesting recipe, so I thought I would share.

Aloha Chicken Wings

Description
These aloha chicken wings bring Hawaiian flavor straight to your table. The spicy seasoning mixes with the sweetness of the pineapple for a delicious sauce that can't be beat. These are great as a party appetizer or as a quick meal.

Cooking Time: 45 min

Ingredients
25 chicken wings
3 tablespoon cider vinegar
2 tablespoon garlic salt
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon paprika
20 ounce can crushed pineapple
1 cup ketchup
1/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1/4 cup soy sauce
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Have butcher cut wings at joints into 3 pieces. Discard bony end of wing tip or reserve for another use (such as soup).

Arrange remaining chicken parts in single layer in well-oiled baking pans. Prick skin with fork.

Combine vinegar, garlic salt, onion powder, ginger and paprika to make a baste; brush over chicken. Bake 30 minutes. Turn once.

Combine pineapple and juice with ketchup, brown sugar, and soy sauce. Spoon sauce over wings. Continue roasting 15 minutes more, or until done. Remove wings to serving platter. Serve immediately or until serving time. Wings may be reheated in oven or over hot coals on a grill.

Alright, I snagged this 2Bluaeryn's LJ who snagged it from someone else. I thought it was pretty cool, so I figured I would give it a try too. And she was right it is not easy since we can only use an episode only once. And with some of these questions more than one episode applied for me...but I am satisfied with my one episode's responses. So, I hope someone snag from me too. I may have to try this in a day or two again to see if my responses change.

I sort of went on a sig craze for Missing.

( Sigs here... )

Fanart: Sigs
Characters: Ziva
Sizes: 600 x195
Comments: I started watching NCIS last year. I am now a major fan of the show. I love the character of Ziva. And I find myself shipping her with Tony. That may inspire me to do artwork.

Comments: Some sigs I was finally inspired to do the last few weeks and some of the inspiration came from a couple of online friends and sigs for some challenges. Plus some sigs I did for Mrs. B's b-day on GW.

( Sigs here... )

I’m hoping that this will be a collections of mini ficlets which will be base on the episode of EATG and the photos/stills for that episode. The ficlets may morphed into an actually story or they can stand on their own as a tag.

The sigs were done for the weekly episode challenge for the Rachel/Teyla's thread at GW.

( Sigs here... )

With my ongoing quest to understand and master GIMP, I have been doing some artwork mostly for the weekly Rachel/Teyla’s thread on GW, but also for the JT’s thread, and a couple of birthdays too.

( Sigs here... )

I was inspired to do these sigs because of a conversation I had with a co-worker, a older woman last night when we were leaving work. She told me that someone on Good Morning American said the quote that I have used in my sigs. I love the quote. It is poetic, but all so true. On this Inauguration Day of our 44th President, this is my tribute to the people who makes this quote true.

Happy New Year to my friends. We are nineteen days into the New Year. Wow! Time waits for no one.

My friends for 2009, I wish you peace, prosperity, love, health and hope because we are living in trying times.

We are indeed living in trying times. The economy is in the tank. All I have to do is look at my retirement statements to know how bad the stock market is. All I have to do is watch the news - people are losing their jobs and I do not really need to watch the news to see that. In our own office and in the office across the hall, that office has had major staff cuts for the past several months now. The faces of people that I’m used to seeing and speaking to are no longer there. Stores that have been in business for years are closing their doors or filing for bankruptcy, the foreclosure’s rate is still rising.

Have I been effect by these trying times? Yes, but in subtle ways. Yes, I have lost value in my retirement accounts, but I am young, so I have the hope that by the time I am ready to retire that I can gain back what I have lost. It is this belief that has kept me from screaming when I see my statements and the knowledge to know that I am blessed. I am not one of those Americans who has retired or retiring now. I have time. They do not! God bless them. They did the right thing. They saved for their retirement. They brought their homes believing their homes will give them the American Dream. Only to see the value in their retirement accounts and homes decrease in value. I know I am lucky. I am lucky hopefully because time is on my side. And I keep myself grounded with the motto that whatever I can complaint about there is always someone who has it worst than me. I see this in my job all the time.

Yet, in these trying times today I am hopeful. It is Martin Luther King Day. We are on the eve of swearing in this country forty-fourth and first African American’s President, President elect, Barack Obama. His candidacy and election to America highest office is one of inspiration and hope. It is one that I hope would happen one day, but never believed it would happen in my life time. Now my hope is one day to see a woman as president. I am hopefull of that happening now more than ever. My hope is that our government will stop being about political parties and be the government of the people.

On a personal note, our office is on the eve of trying one of our biggest cases. And due to circumstances the trying of this case has stopped and started more than once – last time being on my birthday this past September. The work and time I have spent on this case are many! I suspect my premature graying hair tendrils are due to this. Do I need to dye my hair too now? This case has been in my thoughts for months, actually years. I pray and wish this family justice and closure finally. Their losses were too many. I can’t discuss the circumstances of the case yet.

So my friends on this MLK’s day, on this historical eve of swearing in our forty-fourth President, forget that you are a Republican or a Democrat, tomorrow we are Americans. I say hold up the light, it has been a long time coming, but a change has come. What a wonderful time in our country's history when kids of any ethnicity can believe that they can be anything that they want to be even the President of the United States!

Happy birthday Martin Luther King.

Some sigs for John and Ronon.
