Poor Dr. Felger.
Poor Dr. Felger. I know he's a screw-up, but he tries so hard. His most redeemingly quality (besides his innate nerdiness) is that he worships SG-1. He's one of the few people who recognizes their greatness on the show, and I appreciate him for that.
Why am I talking about Felger? I just watched "The Other Guys" for the first time (I got season 6 from Netflix; I've never watched it before because 1) my mom doesn't own it like she does the other seasons, and 2) Daniel Jackson ascended and was replaced with Jonas Quinn, whom I'm not fond of). It was so funny. It made me so happy. Just the references to other sci-fi shows alone was worth it. I liked it when Herak showed up and named off the SG-1 members one by one until he got to Jonas, and said, "You I'm not familiar with." O'Neill explaned that he was new.
I'm also excited about Thanksgiving. Why, you ask? Well, I'll tell you! I love to eat--food is one of my great loves (right up there with television and Steely Dan), and Thanksgiving is all about the food. (Oh, and giving thanks, I guess. But mostly the food.) One of the reasons I love Dr. McKay so much is his own personal love of food. He's always hungry. And I particularly love the food down here--it's one of the truly great things about living in the South. Thanksgiving is always a big spread at my house. We'll have ham and turkey for sure, and it's possible that my grandfather will bring lamb. Green bean casserole, cauliflower casserole (Dad mad it up--it has cauliflower, rice, cream of mushroom soup, and cheese), Mom's homemade rolls, two kinds of dressing (Mom's traditional and Dad's "everything but the kitchen sink"), cranberry sauce (with and without berries), skin-on mashed potatoes, and giblet gravy. And for dessert, pumpkin pie, pecan pie (made the Southern way, with lots of Karo), chocolate pecan pie (my Mom's family recipe), Grandma's macaroni salad, and possibly Dad's famous magic bars (with chocolate, coconut, and nuts). Awesome!
The best part is that Kris and I are going to try to go to my parents' house for lunch, then go to his family's house for dinner. That means 2 huge meals and 2 sets of leftovers! (Kris and I know how to work Thanksgiving.)
I'm probably going to go get my hair cut tomorrow. I'm out of classes for a whole week, and I have to work tomorrow, but not until 5:00. I like to get my hair cut before the holidays so that I look good when we see our families, particularly Kris's. After all, I'm a decade younger than he is, and I don't want to look like a bimbo. It's going to be the shortest "Major Carter cut" I've ever gotten. (Yes, I get my hair cut like Carter's. It's not that bad; I used to get it cut like Monica from season two of Friends. I like to pick one cut and stick with it, and I usually take in the exact same picture. I get my hair cut about every three months, and they've gotten used to me.)
Here's a picture of what I want:
