02/28/03: Sliders

juju · 02-28-2003, 09:21 AM

Folks, the very first episode of Sliders will re-air on the Sci-Fi channel in 39 minutes! And immediately following that, episodes 2 through 5 will air, all in a row. It's a mini-Sliders marathon! I've caught a few episodes from the 4th season recently, and it seems like a really good show. I can't wait to see how it all started!

Don't know how many of you get the Sci-Fi channel, but if you happen to be browsing the Cellar when I first post this message, maybe you'll like the show.

Incidentally, today I am celebrating my 27th birthday. I was born on leap day, which does not come this year. Since I grow a year older every year, I celebrate my newfound age on the 28th.

Hell, it's my birthday, I think I'll just skip class and watch this. I can just read the textbook for what I missed!

[edit - am I the only one who feels obsessively compelled to edit and re-edit their messages for mistakes and clarity? Hell, I think I spend 3 times as much time editing for clarity than I do composing the actual message!]

happy birthday juju, and go ahead and skip class. One of my friends birthdays is today too(it's his real birthday) I'll have a beer for you tonight.

juju · 02-28-2003, 09:34 AM

Thanks! :)

Hey, also, if you miss the show and have broadband, I can hook you up with a Divx of the shows.

I typically type in BBEdit, proofread/rewrite obsessively (depending on length), give up and go back to MUDing, re-rewrite, post, and then fix all the stupid typos I happen to notice rereading it.

So, no.

Happy false Birthday!

There's a lovely coincidence at work here that allows you to celebrate your 28th on the 28th this year, and your 29th on the 29th next year. Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday, Juju!

Darn. Make that WOULD HAVE BEEN a nice coincidence.

I have just learned that my wife is pregnant!

To Whit, and anyone else that is from my local area, please keep it a secret for now so that I can tell people in person.

Congratulations!

Sorry to hear that!

...whichever suits your state of thinking at this time.
