Well, my jailbreaking efforts for my iPhone last night were (eventually) successful, thanks in part to some very helpful tutorials. Jailbreaking software, for those who don't have a g33k dictionary handy, is the process that allows people who own iPhones and iPod Touches to run unofficial code to bypass Apple's sometimes paranoid, sometimes not strangehold on its operating system. In other words, I hacked my phone. And yey, it was good.

However, since this was my actual cell phone that I use for a lot of daily tasks, it was slow going because I needed to be sure I would still function, and so I didn't finish until well past midnight. However, true to my word, this morning I took pictures of what had my squeeing and flailing last night in the early hours of the morning.

( My g33kery, it bleeds through even the cut. )

Well guys, this is it.

Okay, I've learned the trick to initial viewings of Joe Mallozzi episodes: drinking.

No, seriously. He's brilliant when I'm sloshed (okay, on my way there. Have to start celebrating early, right?) I mean, yes, I still guess everything way before it's revealed, but it's because he and I are MIND TWINS¹. That's it. Or the margaritas.

ANYWAY.

( Perhaps slightly inebriated ramblings under the cut. But lots of ♥ too. Because this is me after all. )

HEE!

My reaction to "First Contact" is scattered throughout other posts, but before I forget, I figured I would make a quick reaction post. In no particular order, the big giant hearts:

( THE SQUEE )

( The Less than Squee )

( Woolsey Crush Rating )

Overall, awesome episode, and one I'll definitely be rewatching. I have faith that anything I have forgotten to mention, the rest of my f-list will.

The SGA Meme seen 'round the world!:

When you see this, post a quote from Stargate: Atlantis in your journal.

"I'm still trying to understand how you thought it was a good idea to test this device by having someone throw you off a balcony."

"Oh, believe me, that's not the first thing we tried."

"I shot him." John gets the dreaded Mom look. "In the leg!"

It was at this point in the series where I fell head over heels... for John, for Rodney, for their crazy boyish antics, and the whole show itself! I've actually lost count of how many times I've seen "Hide and Seek". It has yet to get old.

Slightly more coherent (but still pure squail) thoughts on The Shrine. I might be able to write full sentences at some point.


...and there's more but this is still from the initial viewing! (I'm out of town this weekend, so I'll have to sneak it in later.)

Still been feeling pretty down today, despite my bright outlook on the future both fannishly and in real life. (Tomorrow brings new wonderful likely squeetastic SGA, as well as a trip to DFW to talk over... future living arrangements possibly)

To combat the non-renewal blues, here are a few posts of ♥ that lift my spirits:
medie  is running a Spontaneous Love Meme! (And you know, feel free to drop me some love too if you're in the mood.)
xparrot 's warm and fuzzy mcsmooch : One Day Away
sholio 's heartening post
telesilla  is hosting the Second Annual Blanket Fort Day
sheafrotherdon  has a snuggle post

Fandom, you are awesome. I love you.

If I have time when I get home from work, I might try and add to the warm fuzzies. Not this week, but perhaps next week would be an opportune time for that "impromptu" snarkathon I've been wanting to do for a while. However, for now, some lolcats:

Because when you can't seem to write, that means it's time to bust out Photoshop!
