Is that a duck? It looks like a duck.

I was ever so naughty last night and blew off class for no better reason than that I couldn't get my lazy ass off the couch once I sat down. It's a good thing I got the yard watered and most of the dishes done before I collapsed because they sure as hell wouldn't have been done afterwards. Did manage to catch two more episodes of SG-1, the XMen Evolution episode from Saturday (X23? WTF? They're way off canon now), and the remainder of the romantic cowboy episode of QEftSG. *happy sigh* Also got that damn Steam djinn in Golden Sun 2 that I'd forgotten to grab while still on the island and had to go all the way back for. Luckily you've got two saves in the game and I'd been clever enough to save before leaving the island as well, just in case. The little shit killed two of my characters before I took him down, but fortunately I discovered that even at zero life points my boy Felix can still revive himself and someone else. Woo!

Also got my handkerchief skirt well underway, though now I'm beginning to think I'm never going to have the bedleh set I'd wanted with it. See I've heard nothing back from the eBay seller who was supposed to be making it and emails last week received no response. Aelf and I are concerned as her stuff seems to be getting marked down. Maybe she's going out of business? It'd be nice if she could drop me a note to let me know. Anyway, no bedleh for me, at least not right now.

Should try to get some dancing in tonight, but then again I should also get the front lawn mowed, and I must get the garbage out. And the kitchen floor needs to be swept and mopped, back living room needs to be vacuumed. My horoscope said I should just be low-key and lazy today. This doesn't seem likely.

Oh and has anyone tried out friendster.com? It seems like an intriguing idea but I'm not sure I want to give them my email address quite yet. Opinions?

Nicely done. But the problem with this season is that they're focusing too much on the younger generation of mutants

This season? It's only one episode into it, isn't it? :)

And next episode is Jean and Scott's graduation, and a return to the Apocalypse plotline, from what TiVo says.

We're about halfway through season 3, which has never before aired, making these "technically" new episodes, though not a new season.


(and who is the blonde guy with the red streaks?)

I have no idea. :) I'm only slowly piecing together who some of the younger mutants are, as they're ones I've never encountered (like...Tina? I think, the blow-up balls chick, Magma, and Sunspot).

The blow-up balls chick? Um, could be Boom-Boom you're referring to there, blonde, right?

IMDB.com's X-Men: Evolution entry was good for me identifying the lesser characters. Not to mention checking out some of the voice actors. Kirby Morrow (Scott/Cyclops)? Mee-ow.

to the detriment of the older ones. Yeah it's nice to see Cannonball and all, but dammit don't restrict Kurt to two seconds of air time.

*laugh* And the real reason comes out. :) I'm sure Elfie will get his chance to shine again.

(I realize, considering, that the cartoon is an ensemble show, with some characters getting front burner status one week, and back burner status the next. Weird!)

I think I was happier in earlier seasons when the number of characters was limited to the core group. An ensemble of say 10 characters is a lot easier than an ensemble of 20+. At least they were wise enough to split the groups up in the comics before they became way too unwieldy.
