If you've noticed a slow down of posts here, that's because I am less bored now (for the last month) & there's a lot to do - since the move to living full time in NYC (and by NYC I mean Sunset Park, Brooklyn). I've been spending a few days or a couple of weeks in NYC every month since December '08 (Maryland, the state of my previous permanent residence is only 4 hours away, so it is possible to work FT there & hang out in NYC part time, at least for a while, 'till you get tired of the back and forth) - but starting June 1 I've lived & worked in NYC on a full time, 5 days + a week, basis. Here are some things I learned: - First, why move to NYC anyway? Answers: - Because it was there, not too far away from where I was living, & it's a massive city, with an epic & romantic (in a romanticizing of ordinary existence/On The Road kind of way, not like in an Annie Hall/indie rom com way - well, maybe a little like that too) histor

I like the TV show Stargate SG1 (i think it's original run of maybe 4 seasons is over, i am catching up on many missed episodes on hulu , UPDATE: 10 seasons). On the surface level it's a fun TV show to watch to unwind after a long day - space action show, featuring McGuyver (Richard Dean Anderson) in the lead role, battling a host of baddies from far off planets. But there are some interesting/maybe not all good stuff beneath the surface, here is a brief list: 1 - The key bad guys - the gaould (don't take my spelling of their name to be the exact one, i am not that much of a stargate nerd to go research it at the moment) - use (or i should say the tv show uses) terms & mythology from ancient Egypt. But on top of that, they aren't really human - they are a snake like parasite creature who take over human bodies as hosts. So, right off the bat, elements of a non-Western culture are used to represent the evil force or one of the main evil forces in the story. 2. T
