New job is well on its way to coolness. I went down to Rochester Hills yesterday to meet the Detroit-area office staff and pick up some goodies for jobs we're doing in the area Friday and Monday. Very, very cool people all around. Also: I have a new phone. I won't really be giving out the number, because it's work-only. I'll have to set the voicemail and such and answer it in such a way and so forth. But, it's very cool, as ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
sdrawkcabyaj and fightin_icegrrl (Happy Belated Birfday, Jen) can attest. Went to the Griffins game with them last night and it was pretty awesome. Our guys won, 3-1, mostly thanks to the goalie, Joey MacDonald.
All the goodies I picked up yesterday morning now crowd my computer room because the parking lot is not quite as secure, or warm, as I would like. We need a house. Got to get a paycheck or two first, though, so we can have something to show the mortgage people.
In fannish news, Beau Bridges, Lou Gossett Jr., and Mitch Pileggi are all joining the various Stargate casts. Bridges as the new new SGC Commanding General, Gossett as a Jaffa who butts heads with Teal'c, and Pileggi as a colonel who arrives on Stargate: Atlantis to create tension in amidst the already simmering tension thingy. I'm surprisedsplash_the_cat didn't scoop me on this. Or, maybe she did, and scooped me so long ago that I forgot she said anything about it.
It'll be exciting to see if the Stargate franchise can keep things fresh and innovative. I actually think that the moving-on of past key cast members can help this, in spite of the way that it was death for the X-Files. X-Files, of course, was iconically Mulder and Scully... where Jack was central to the Stargate story, he wasn't the frame on which much of the plot and motivations hung, unlike, say, Mulder. SG1 is much more an ensemble, and I know everyone else has the chops to carry it.
ANYway, in other cool SG1 news, if you click the link to the right for Stargate SG-1: The Alliance, you'll get the full website for the first (?) SG1 video game ever, a first-person shooter with very, very lush graphics. In spite of whatever this show does in the US/Canada, I think it's going to live forever in Europe, given the apparent number of French fans who clamored for info. (Thousands!?!) For such a to-this-point low-key launch, I think that's pretty incredible.
Okay, time for work. Later.
