The Hive Is Alive!

Very cool room! Cluttered, chaotic in an orderly fashion. Got two questions though, how many RPG books you got? And whats that series of DVD's on your shelf, the ones close to the bottom?

Here is the link to my RPG Book collection (thats everything minus my 2nd Edition books and boxed Sets and one shelf of assorted non/DnD/OGL/D20 books.

Ahh, I actually thought it was SG seasons I noticed in the lower-left corner. Its not always easy since when they publish them here in Europe, they sometimes change the covers.

Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of sci-fi series of my own lying around, mostly due to economical reasons. Only got the first two seasons of BSG (third hasn't come in my country on DVD) and latest four seasons of Doctor Who. Otherwise its only really Band of Brothers and Black Adder I have on DVD. I'm actually pondering what series to buy next, kinda divided on the issue. Wouldn't mind another series like BSG, a bit gritty and depressing at times, but good acting and decent action, just don't know of any (you don't get any of these series on television at all, BSG I found out through forums).

Stupid economies. I look forward to the credit being the global standard. Of course it'll help when the US economy stabilizes. Damn dollar to pounds conversion. Its still pretty bad, 2 euros/punds per US dollar. Thats friikin' expensive. There is a UK Dr. Who boxed set I'd like to gets my hands on (Shaped like the Blue tardis) but can't even find it at amazon.co.uk anymore. If it does show up again, I'm gonna have to try to have the funds set aside for it.

The current BSG isn't my cup of tea, I watched like maybe 4-6 episodes of Season 1, but I just couldn't get into it. I prefer the original series, thats one I need on DVD and oh, Buck Rogers too.

At least you're able to go pretty much everywhere in the immediate vicinity and use the same currency! Here we're stuck with kroners, but if we take the 40 minute bus-trip to Sweden its another currency (and we do, they have slightly cheaper groceries and cheaper electronics), take 45 minute ferry to Poland and its another currency yet again, and a 2 hours drive / ferry-ride to Germany (cheap alcohol) and guess what! Another currency!

I can see the problem with BSG though, you kinda only start enjoying it once you get into it, and it takes quite a while compared to most shows.

So, what would be a good next sci-fi series to invest in? SG:1 seems a bit faerie-tale in space-ish to me, but I heard good stuff about SG:A (never seen it though, YET another series not running here).

My sister and her son. Or as I like to call him 'That little boy'. There ain't nothin' shy about him. My sister and I hit the pool yesterday while her boyfiend was trimming our pyrocanthas (sp?). Colin was enjoying the pool too, in the buff. He kept getting out of the water to jump back in and mommy would catch him.

Not our fault that you guys don't like Euros!

I really start to like the €, despite the initial price-rises. I wish the British people would "get" the euro... but guess what, the pound has fallen to onl about 1-1/4 €, and it was 1-1/2 € one year ago. I hope that the pounds goes down way more.

Because it's just "free" money for me in some way!

Cheers, LT.

Oh, pancakes were good. I used a technique that I picked up from a tv-show. I think you US guys might recognise the name Emeril Lagasse. He showed a couple of tricks in one of his shows for making pancakes, and I decided to give it a try. Unfortunatily I'm no good in explaining how it actually happened...

Wouldn't know. All I know is let them cook enough before flipping them... Less spatter and a better looking pancake... Unlike my FIRST attempt.... That was one ugly-as-hell pancake!

Stargate isn't exactly hard Sci Fi, but to call it a fairy tale in space isn't right. Theres plenty of variant plotlines to it; politics, galactic politics, action, adventure, drama. There are character deaths and character twists as well. I'd call it a good investment if you like SciFi. Personally, I'm holding off any Stargate purchases (except for Continuum, which I've already pre-ordered) to see is sales of Continuum on BluRay might spur the release of SG1 on BluRay as well.

Let me say this; I'm not overjoyed by the concept of BluRay, but I gotta have my StarGate fix every once in a while. When I finally do get my 50" DLP HDTV and a BluRay player, I'll be more than happy to upgrade the favorites currently in my DVD collection (Mummy/Returns/Scorpion King).
