things just keep on getting interesting

So, my house now has unclean water. (Along with half the other houses in Melbourne.)

For the record, that puts our current status at:
- in a curfew
- unable to travel more than 5 km away from home
- compulsory wearing of masks
- can't leave home for more than an hour a day
- only supermarkets and pharmacies open, everything else shut
- doing school at home, via conferencing apps
- boiling all tapwater before drinking

...does this officially qualify as living in interesting times?



I am coping with life mainly by rewatching Stargate. This is my first rewatch since the first epic watching that spawned my Stargate Is Annoying Me tag, back in LJ days. While I still agree with all my previous gripes, I'm enjoying myself a lot more.

For one thing, I'm aware of what's coming, so the Vegemite Effect is no longer a factor.
Also, I've discovered that the show was given an initial two-season guarantee, and they decided to slow-play the arcs and spend time getting to know the characters. This pleases me, and I can see how it affected the show, so I'm okay with them doing it that way.
But mainly... I know what's coming! I know we're going to get zat guns! And Thor! And Baal! And spaceships! And exploding suns! And Rodney! And replicators! And fun and silly sci-fi!

I kinda love this show.
