I should post something
Real life -- back in Montreal. The landing at Dorval was a bit harrowing - it was one of those teeny planes the size of two Voyager busses nose to tail, and there was a stiff headwind - but got in all right albeit late. Now I'm far too tired to think about how I was collecting frangipani in a hitched-up sarong a mere week ago, which is just as well. XD Colleagues all went :D at me and asked to see my photos.
Will have to do something about that, and the ones I took in Europe, and the ones I took in Shanghai two years ago. orz
Fandom -- 1) Besides SBR vol.9 [1] I also bought the latest volume of GB again, so I could get the special-edition postcards, and the GB ura-fanbook which I'd forgotten existed. It only chronicles up to the very beginning of Marine Red but the coverage is pleasantly detailed. Now I'm reading this and wishing I'd bought it as well. :P
2) Was going to post this in carnet but... Here's a thing about SGA fic: the characters are exactly the sort of OC I'd make up myself (not the same as 'the sort of character I'd latch onto and be fannish about'). [2] Figured this out early on but was re-reading Traffic a few days ago and thought, isn't Winston Tse basically just a younger, shorter, more Cantonese Rodney McKay? XD
In between -- three movies I've watched in the past month, two thanks to United Airlines:
* X-3
* A Scanner Darkly
* Dragon Tiger Gate [3]
[1] Or as I prefer to call it, "The Unlocking of Shadow Jesus".
[2] The series concept is also the sort of SF cheese I'm in danger of making up myself, or so I think. I love to write SF but my qualifications are precisely zero, since I haven't paid my dues as a reader - not even come close. BTW K what was that book you had on the bus to Malacca? ^^;; My brain being a sieve I've forgotten all except that I thought it was interesting and wanted to read it.
[3] Or as I prefer to call it, "Donnie Yen's Hair Versus The Balrog".

Downbelow Station and Cyteen by CJ Cherryh. They're old but still good!!! Also: the Phylogenesis trilogy by Alan Dean Foster. (I think that's what it's called anyhow. Or at least the first book. Can't recall if the other two were good too. XD They're all vaguely related although it's more worldbuilding since the time periods are pretty far apart.)

Ahahah, I still have photos from like two years before undeveloped. (Thankfully, have switched to digital recently)
