Well, I haven't yet really said anything about the SGA news, but like everyone, I'm upset! I can't say devastated, because I was expecting it, in all honesty but nevertheless, it's had me quite down and feeling rather insecure. It feels like I've had warning that a supporting structure is going to be removed out from under my feet and I'm really sad about the prospect of missing The Hew and JoeF and their snarky, gay-lurve, especially given the brilliant performance of DH in The Shrine (and Kate and everyone else). I thought that ep was amazing! But I have a lot of faith that the fandom will continue for a bit longer and that's a huge comfort to me right now.

It's pissing down right now! And there's lots of thunder and lightning - this summer has had unprecendented thunder and lightning. I love it so much, when nature makes her presence felt, even if it scares the hell out of me (that's probably half the attraction), when it cracks right outside!

In other news - I got my TV low-board and cabinet (the latter for DVDs and CDs) to match. It looks lovely. Also got the dining table and 4 chairs in the same wood, with black leather covered seats, and I LOVE having a decent place to sit while I prepare work stuff! I'm really happy that's all arrived and I'm very pleased with it as it's beautifully, (hand) crafted stuff! I'm only sorry I can't show you pics as my camera keeps giving me a memory card error-message and I tried THREE cards! Yikes! Looks like I'm in the market for a new camera some time soon.

Now I just need another bookcase that will hold stacks of books. I think I'll get it from the same craftsmen. I want it to match and it smells lovely all woody and polish-y!

Yeah insecure is the word. I couldn't really find the right word for how I'm feeling. That's it.

It's going to take some time to get over this.

*hugs*

Yeah, it's not a nice feeling, especially given I'm really not into any other fandoms. I'm just not sure of what I'll do if my flist shrinks, which it may inevitably do.

I'd be happy to join other fandoms if I could find one where the characters really do something for me. I guess I'm flirting with SPN and there's always the Doctor, but they certainly don't replace SGA :(

*hugs*

Well I'm going to cling to my flist like you wouldn't believe. I'm not letting go.

I still have many on my flist from my spangel days and yep still hanging in there.

I really don't know, what to jump on next...after SGA. It's going to be really tough. I'm not into SPN. I think it's an okay series, but not in an obsessive way. The doctor....nah....Torchwood is actually quite good, but I'm not seeing myself falling head over heals on that one either.

*clings*

Yeah, I'm not obsessive about SPN either - they are a bit too young for me anyway. Yeah re The Doctor and Torchwood, I'm just watching them but not into reading the fic at all.

I hope something comes along ...

I felt the same way. I am quite annoyed as well because the show is very consistent in what it does - it hasn't jumped the shark at all. And The Shrine was such a great ep that it's a shame we won't see more of that calibre. Also, there just didn't seem any need for it - the show is steady and brings in a solid audience.

I hate being at the mercy of TV producers!!! GRRR!

Sorry for the tardy reply - LJ is mucking up some of my email deliveries, I think and I only saw your reply late last ngiht.

No, you're right, it hasn't jumped the shark at all and it seems to have decent ratings, so I don't understand why business has made the decision.

*GRRRs along with you*

I know we've already talked a little about this.
I'm still trying to process the news, to be honest. I feel so angry that some suit can just take our show away like that. Especially when it's doing well/okay in the ratings & for me, is getting better & better the last couple of seasons.
I just feel bereft.

*big hugs*

I know what you mean about still processing. I feel that way myself - sometimes, I think "It's only a TV show!" but I associate this show a lot with getting me into LJ and photoshopping art and all the friends I've made too.

I know the decision to can it just doesn't seem to make sense when it's doing okay and it's so annoying that just a few higher-ups can make that decision. GRR!
