There is a promo featuring SciFi's 2009/2010 programming line up. (Found HERE ) They included snippets of Stargate: Universe. LDP really caught my eye; made some screen caps and thought I'd post them here.
He's looking HOT in uniform!

I knew this could be a problem. I am now addicted to Twitter. Ooops...
Yesterday I spent a hour and a half checking and rechecking Twitter to read updates from people I have been following and clicking on random fellow Twitter'ers (correct use of term??)
I spent WAAAY too much time playing around with the website. When I really should have been studying for my midterms (Like I should be now....)
The best way in my mind to get better (or worse) is to have cohorts so...If anyone else out there also wants to join in on my new found addiction. Follow me here: http://twitter.com/k8t85

Internet went down again this week. The SHAW repair man came, spent 20 minutes outside in the snow and -13C weather, came back inside fiddled around some more and 20 more minutes later...I'M BACK! Its tough not be pessimistic about this but I REALLY REALLY HOPE this is the last I see of them. Apparently, the line coming into the house shorted and caused all the problems we've been experiencing for the last two weeks. WHY didn't the first repair man think of that? Oh well.
ETA: Just got an invoice in the mail...they took a stink'n $7.36 off our bill this month for our troubles. REALLY? That's all? I think we deserve a month or two months worth of free service. *sigh*
Hi All!!!
So I spoke too soon, the internet repair job on Wednesday was a joke (it lasted 4 hours). I had another date with the SHAW repair guy today. He just left and I'm back on the interwebs again, for now. I hope this is the last visits from SHAW for a long time. Yeah some of them were cute but I don't want to see their blue vans outside my house for a very long time.
Apparently, it was still the signal coming into the house that was causing all the problems. When he tested it we had a minus 7 rating..it's not supposed to drop below 0 for optimal service. When he put in a booster we were up to a 14 (which is also a no, no) apparently you want to be between 0 and 7. So yeah.
Hopefully this lasts for a good long time. Also, when he boosted the signal the tv channels got SO much better.
I'm now set to watch FLASHPOINT and NUMB3RS and I have internet to chat with the chat chicks!!! TGIF. See you all tonight!!!
So the problem was not with the provider, it was us (again! We had this problem last month). They sent some guys over to fix it. It was such a quick repair job. Guys walked in, tinkered with a couple cables, walked out, and BAM! I'm back!
Let's see how long this will last...I have a feeling we will be calling them again in a month. Stupid modem, the new one was supposed to be better...can I get the old one back?
*squishes internet* I've missed you so!
Wow that sounds so sad...
