Arctic Light

Wow, the husband and I built a chicken coop yesterday, and ended up having kind of a fight over working late to finish it vs. stopping when we both got tired and sore and mosquito-bitten, but I'm so glad he won that fight (and we finished the project) because it's 48 degrees and raining out there this morning. The only thing more fun than doing construction work in a swarm of mosquitos -- is doing it in rain, mosquitoes and being really, really sore on top of it all! *ow ow* I need to get in shape ...

Anyway, linked from sga_newsletter a couple of days ago, here's an SGA songvid roundup/recs post with lots and lots of vids! I found a bunch of vids I haven't seen and a few more I'd forgotten about. Another one I just watched is this season 1-4 vid to John Mayer's "Say" (link goes to Youtube) and, while I have some issues with the editing and I admit I'm not overly fond of that particular song, it filled me with warm glowy affection for the show and the characters, and made me want season 5 now. ^_^

We have achieved "reading at midnight with the lights off" here at the Arctic Circle. That's exactly what I was doing last night at midnight -- lying in front of the window in the bedroom with all the lights in the house off, reading by the light of the sunset -- and that's what I'm off to do now, finishing up "The Yiddish Policeman's Union" by Michael Chabon. (Very entertaining alt-history book in which the displaced Jewish refugees of WWII were sent to a refugee territory in Alaska, and now in the modern day, Sitka is a city-state of 3 million people and Detective Meyer Landsman is a giant woobie. Oh, Landsman! *hugs him and goes to finish book*)
