The Long Goodbye...And The Long Day

[xfirefly9x]

I just saw The Long Goodbye yesterday and I am sooooooo in love with it! It is definitely the bestest Stargate Atlantis episode I've seen so far!!! It was the last thing I saw before I went to bed...and the first thing I saw when I got up and practically ran down to the TV to watch some particular scenes again. And again. And again. (See icon for specific scene!) And I listened to the commentary with my eyes shut (my eyes were only shut through part of it - and only because of not getting much sleep). Anyways, yes. The Long Goodbye is now officially my favourite episode. All who have not seen it should. Now. Yes. Right now! Go! Read the rest of my post later! All that matters is watching The Long Goodbye. (And of course, the necessary breathing and eating thing matters, too!)

Moving on, I had a huge day after the DVD watching. I walked down to TAFE via the Botanical Gardens (I needed to pee and they have a toilet block at the Botanical Gardens). That took about an hour. At TAFE, I enrolled - Cert 3 in Business Applications) - and got my ID photo taken (which sucks like all my other ID photos). About 20 mins later, I walked down to the library and hung around there for half an hour or so before walking back to visit the ex-neighbours of my dad, Mary and Allan. I was there for another half hour or so, talking and catching up on random...stuff. Haven't seen them in awhile. Then, there was more walking! I went down to the shops from there (another 15 or so mins) and dropped in at Kmart (where I bought Season 4 of Angel and a CD: The Used) followed by Coles. Another 20 mins and I was home, where I collapsed and...watched the same scene of The Long Goodbye again! And an episode of The X Files too. Rush, I think it was. It was from Season 7, anyway.

I won't go on about all the jobs and other random stuff that I had to do after, but yeah. Today was lonnnnng! Very long! It's 11:46pm now and I'm tired. I'm never tired at 11:46 normally! It takes me til about 2am before I get tired! Grr! And I'm sunburnt! All over my shoulders and back and face! Grr again! Plus my legs are aching like hell. I must've been out for about 5 hours all up and I spent most of that time walking. Not good. Especially seeing as I'm going to Southbank tomorrow with Pops, Jane and Anna to some art gallery or museum or something...which means more walking. Plus, after that I have a 5 hour shift at work. 5 more hours of standing. Tomorrow is going to be hell for my legs, I'm guessing. Eh, whatever. I'm in a pretty good mood now (not counting the sunburn) cuz I get the house to myself for 9 days starting Friday! Tomorrow is the last day that my mum and brother are going to be here for 9 days and then there's freedom for awhile! Yay! There will be more details on that later, but I should probably go now. Fic writing is needed to be done, I need food and...I...I can't think of any other reasons.

So...Goodnight! (Or good morning, if it's morning where you are! Or...you get the idea) Go watch The Long Goodbye! =)

Hahaha, I ♥ The Long Goodbye, too! Although I watched it with one of my (non-shippy) housemates, so I had my hands over my mouth to stop myself from giggling insanely. ;) I love the scene at the end, too, with the comment about their kiss, the look they give eachother, and Elizabeth's embarassed sinking down. Such an awesome episode!
The Long Goodbye is actually the episode that got me to start watching SGA - a fanfic author on LJ had an animated icon of the kiss, and it made me curious (and ship J/E before I even started watching it, heh). I was so hopeful for awhile that they were canon, too!

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Definitely an awesome episode! *nods* If it had been the first episode I saw, I'd be hooked by now! Great way to be pulled in! =)

[seramercury.livejournal.com]

I love that episode!! I squeed very much during it. LOL!!

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Hehe, me too! Very much! =P

[okelay.livejournal.com]

i love TLG- such a great ep
ive seen the kiss scene too many times to count
it really is one of the best SGA eps.

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Definitely! Me too! XD

[m00nbrain.livejournal.com]

TLG was indeed a good episode :)

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

The best episode! XD

[rocksalted.livejournal.com]

hahha omg yes!!!!! YES YES! ♥ TLG is looove! Not only coz of the kiss but LIZZEH GOT A GUN AND WAS KICKING ASS!

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Yes, totally! I loved how Elizabeth changed! There's something about the good guys going bad that just pulls me in. It was the same for Clark in Smallville when he went 'bad' under the influence of some kind of kryptonite. Good guys gone bad is hot! =P

The Long Goodbye = AWESOME

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Definitely! XD

I'm in love with Sunday at the moment. Am still squeeing and sobbing interchangably. lmao!

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Sunday??? *blank stare*

[ivyicons.livejournal.com]

Season Three is love.

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Oooh, okay then. *curses Australian TV for being behind* I guess I'll have to wait awhile for that...

[ivyicons.livejournal.com]

Poor Mez. You're on dial-up yes? I could copy my disks and send them to you via snail mail if you'd like...

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Ahh, yes. Poor me. *cries* I'm on broadband actually, but we've run out of time (on day 4!) so it's a slow connection now until the end of the month. And when we return to fast speed, mum won't let us download anything. Really sucks!

I would sooooooo love it if you could send them via snail mail!!!

[ivyicons.livejournal.com]

Ick. *is glad for her unlimitted broadband*
Do you want me to send what I've got or wait till the season wraps up?
Also needing your addy if you want to email privately.

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Um....either way is good. The second way would mean more waiting though, but I dunno. Whichever.

Thank you soooo much for this btw! *hugs* =)

[ivyicons.livejournal.com]

Actually I meant your postage addy. lol. Ok I'll send you what I've got and then post the rest when I get it. So you'll get up until Sunday. :)
No probs. I hate seeing a fellow SGA-lover in withdrawl. lol.

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Uh...yes. I was going to email my postage address through, actually... Eh, whatever.

That's it. Thanks again! XD

[ivyicons.livejournal.com]

Oh right. lol. My head's all in a tissy with the humidity. Ok, I'll get those out to you pretty soon once I get to a post office. Oh and hope you don't mind some battlestar galactica interspersed in the SGA. lol. I put the on the same disk for some reason. :S

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Hehe, humiditity tends to do that. I mean, I'm here, alone, talking to my dog as if she can understand me. Oh. And she just walked away. Yup, heat is dizzyfying.

Ooh, and I definitely don't mind some BSG. I've been wanting to check it out for some time now actually, so that's great. Thanks! =)

[tanisafan.livejournal.com]

Loooool this is such a change after my friend's post about Sunday, which was full of doooooooooooooooom and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh. But then, she loves John/Carson and Rodney/Lorne *g*.

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Hehe, cool. =P

[sgangel.livejournal.com]

Isn't that episode awesome! I see you're in Australia? I see why you're so far behind. I'm Australian! I moved here to the US almost 5 years ago now.

There's an episode in season 3 you're going to love! It's called "The Real World"

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

It definitely is awesome! Beyond awesome! =) And yes, I'm in Australia. Very sucky with the being behind in TV all the time! *shrugs* I'll catch up eventually, I guess...

And I sooooo can't wait for season 3! I've heard so many good things about it. Need more! Ooh, and I'll definitely look out for "The Real World" when it comes around here. Liz in an asylym or something, isn't it? Sounds shiny! XD

[sgangel.livejournal.com]

Yep, that's what it is, it's definitely my favourite episode yet!

[xfirefly9x.livejournal.com]

Shiny! I'm looking forward to it!
