All nine seasons of SG-1 will be on sale Sunday and Monday at Circuit City for $17.99 (each). Also on sale for $17.99: three seasons of Arrested Development, seven seasons of Buffy, four seasons of The Shield, and Firefly.
Best Buy will price-match if you have the CC circular, but if not, take heart, because they have Arrested Development and SG-1 on sale for $19.99. And several seasons of X-Files.
In conclusion, m-y-r i-s b-r-o-k-e.
Oh! So I saw Dreamgirls. I loved it! The audience broke into applause twice during the movie (after Hudson's awkwardly staged but still awesome rendition of And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going and after Beyonce's Listen) and again when it was over. And again when Keith Robinson's name appeared during the credits and again for and introducing... Jennifer Hudson It was great. First AM show on a Friday and it was pretty packed. And Jim from The Office was in it! :P For two seconds, BUT STILL. I've never seen the stage show and I so want to, now. It was good, good times. Beyonce didn't annoy me at all, which was, like, amazing. I really enjoyed the historical aspect of it, the way you see/hear the music transforming over time? To be honest, I think maybe I enjoyed watching the story of the music even more than what was going on with the characters. But that's alright, I don't really think it detracted from the emotional impact of the film. At least not for me. I really recommend it, highly. Yay for leaving a theatre feeling fulfilled ^_^
Eid Mubarak to those celebrating! Hilariously, I hear some Muslim communities have declared the Saudis WRONG and are not celebrating the holiday today, but plan to celebrate tomorrow. Like, life would be so much easier if we just gave up on the lunar calendar, guys. It was a fairly good one - early prayers at the new mosque in Columbia and then we hung out at a friend of my mom's house with loads of people and basically sat back and ate lamb as they pulled it off the grill. Because we are lazy like that. The only downside was my mom driving me NUTS all day with Al Jazeera and Saddam this and Saddam that and I will be really glad when Al Jazeera decides they have other things to talk about.
Oh and the part where I checked my school email and I had a research assignment waiting for me. That was not so fun. Ew, effort. As Leanne likes to say.

Is lamb any good, I've never had it. All I've heard is that it's greasy. Or maybe that's goose. I don't know. I'll stick with chicken. Buffalo chicken pizza. shit, now i want some. :9
And I do like to say that, yes. One of my many philosophies in life.

I too could spend tons on DVD sets, which is why I never buy ANY.

I've been hearing it was good, but I just can't bring myself to be interested in it. The clothes and hair look really great, though. My sister kind of wanted to see it, but she didn't really care that much either. We ended up watching BSG instead (remember a few weeks ago when I was all "I should watch that, right?" Well, she got me the first season for X-Mas and we watched the miniseries and the first ep. together. Good times). Good to know that you enjoyed it, as you are the only person I know who has actually seen it. Maybe I'll check it out once it's on DVD.

If CNN could find something else to talk about, that would be nice too. And Gerald Ford: Still Dead does NOT count as "else".
And thank you so much for your card. I really appreciate it.

I've been there. And besides, BSG is a pretty acceptable substitute. I'm glad you're enjoying it so far. I miss first season BSG, back before 60% of the main characters irritated the crap out of me.
Wow, the card got there fast! And you're welcome :)
