But my 13-year-old niece is addicted to it. She has every season of every Stargate on DVD, is a member of the fan club, chats regularly with other Stargate addicts, and tells me about the shows whenever I visit.

Sheâ€™s got it bad.

Good for her. We’ll be taking over the world soon.

Yes, but for women, chick flicks are included in that category. Especially the ones with happy endings.

Shirley Temple was the biggest box office draw during the Depression. What this country needs is a 21st-century Shirley Temple!

I tried watching Stargate and didn’t much like it. But my 13-year-old niece is addicted to it. She has every season of every Stargate on DVD, is a member of the fan club, chats regularly with other Stargate addicts, and tells me about the shows whenever I visit.

She’s got it bad.

And she doesn’t seem to care for chick flicks. Yet.

Speaking of happy endings: I watch televison and movies for sheer escapism.

Exactly. Stargate, Startrek, BSG. Are you seeing a pattern to the TV I watch ?.

Teddy? I always favored Stinkerbell…

And 15 quatloos for the TV addict who can place this quote:

“Neurotics build castles in the air, psychotics move in their furniture. And the psychiatrist collects the rent.”

I detest reality shows, I confess. They have little to do with “reality” !

31. In spite of what you may think since when reading this site, I am an optimist. I generally see the glass half-full. I believe in happy endings, even, though I know theyâ€™re few and far between.

The pessimist sees the glass as half empty.

The optimist sees the glass as half full

The engineer sees the glass as too big.

The one source of fiction I like is the First Man in Rome series by Colleen McCullough. It is just awesome. I think I enjoy that because it is a mixture of Roman history and fiction.

As far as authors goes – 11 years ago I read the entire Sherlock Holmes canon by Arthur Conan Doyle (all the short stories and the 4 novels). I tried to read his other stuff but I got all “Doyled” out.
