And lo - they managed to get another wrestler on this year.  Oh, how did I not see that coming...

*grumble* Amanda better be shown at least as much as he is.

Josh Gates, you are an imbecile.

( Why? )

I know, I know, I shouldn't get so bent out of shape over this.  Hopefully this will get better as the evening goes on.... *sigh*

Okay, where do I begin with this one...  oh, yeah... beware of spoilers...

I got some pretty nice gifts for Christmas, but one in particular that arrived in the mail on Christmas Eve is hard to top:




Try to ignore the fact that I look drugged or something, LOL. Just focus on the gorgeous man next to me. :D
 
The funny thing is I had emailed Chris at Creation the day before asking about the photos.  Then I headed over to GW and one gal who had the same problem said she'd heard from him, and to tell everyone at GW that their photos will be arriving shortly (something about him doing three different shows at once and he got behind).  I'm just glad that it arrived.  But wow, what timing. *grins*

Anyway, I had a nice Christmas with my family.  On Christmas Eve we went to mass at 4pm, then got some dinner at a nice restaurant/pub called E.B Elliot's.  It's on a seaside strip called The Nautical Mile.  Nice views and the food was good.  The weather wasn't too bad either.  No snow, and not very cold.  Needless to say we didn't have a white Christmas.  It was quite bright out and around 45 F.

Among the gifts I received were a few sweaters, pairs of socks and a pair of gloves.  On DVD I got Doctor Who series 3 and Ghost Hunters season 3 part 1. Got a couple of jazz CD's, ghost hunting book by Jason Hawes and Grant Wilson (from GH), the Supernatural novel "Witch's Canyon"...  um a couple of calendars as well - for my desk at work one with tropical seascapes and for home a Supernatural calendar.  Also got a pack of blank DVD-R discs and a 4GB pen drive for my computer.

Spent Christmas day with my parents, grandmother and uncle.  It was a nice, quiet day for the most part.  I do have some pics to share from Christmas morning... hope I am doing this right:


I hope everyone had a nice Christmas. :)

So I had a few people at Gateworld telling me the other day that I should go to this year's DragonCon in Atlanta. I think it takes place during the last weekend in August. Michael and Lexa are supposed to be there, as well as Chris Judge. Someone told me that Dragon Con is not like Creation and I'd have better chance of getting closer to Michael...

*sigh* What I would give to attend this con. I was so disappointed that he cancelled out on the NJ con and I honestly have no idea if he'll be attending it this year too. Also supposed to appear at DragonCon are the TAPS guys (from Ghost Hunters). I've always wanted to meet them too so it'd be really cool. I'd probably be able to swing it monetarily (is that a word? lol), but the problem is that I hate traveling alone, especially over such far distances - let alone going to a con by myself. My friend Lori who I went with to the NJ con wants to go back there this year, but again I don't know for sure if MS will even be attending.

The only thing I MAY be able to do.... I found one of my old junior high school friends on myspace last year. She'd mentioned back then that she usually goes to DragonCon and if I went I'd "be in Stargate heaven." I COULD try emailing her and seeing if she's going, but if I remember she said she was getting married this summer, so it's a longshot.

*sigh* How I wish I could do this. I really don't like the way Creation does things and I'm betting DragonCon would be a lot better! Plus there are so many guests I'd like to meet there... so close and yet so far. If only this thing took place in NY!!
