			Asta's Journal - I'm Baaaaaack! Evil Incarnate and Satan's Hellspawn

	I'm Baaaaaack!
	Well, technically, I was never away from you all. It's ridiculous how much time I and my partners in crime spent perusing LJ and the net. And let me add that we are all very disappointed with you all. No kerfuffles. No outrage over spoilers. No wank. It was too damn quite around here! Oh, have you seen the new SG-1 promo pics at Gateworld? Eeeeeeee!!! So pretty. (See icon) Anyway, had a wondeful time, wish you were there. Vancouver is a lovely city, but did we see a single film shoot? No. Seriously, where were they hiding these things? And no Bamber to be found. :( Hell, we couldn't even locate the elusive Building C. More on that later as well as details of the trip. Here's a teaser though: Not the best shot, but look familiar? We stood where Helo shot the rat! It took all of one hour of being back in Michigan before I had to flee my mothers house. I love her, but it doesn't take long for her to get on my last nerve. After a week away I was getting use to not being smothered. On the plus side, she recorded 'Hex' for me. I'm curious to see what all the hype was about. My mom watched it and, even though she never watched 'Buffy', found it to be a pale imitation. Right down to the inclusion of the lesbian friend. Color me surprised that my mother knew about Willow. She also got next weeks issue of TV Guide with the Sexiest Men in Television. OK, I don't have a scanner so please excuse the so-so quality of taking a pic with my camera, but if you want to see Jamie's photo, here it is: And a close up of the text because what Katee and Kerry have to say is very cute and endearing: OK, off to shower and unpack a bit and watch 'Rescue Me'. Oh, and find a 'Who' torrent. Hopefully I'll be semi-conscious for work tomorrow. Tags: jamie_bamber, vancouver Current Mood: chipper

What was in Vancouver?

I believe the answer to that would be, the place in Canada where neither you nor I live.

Yes. That was my entire reason for going there. :p

It was actually a combination of factors incuding seeing this place I've seen so much of on TV and in movies.

So, let me see if I've got this straight... Asta is willing to travel anywhere in Canadia that we're not at? Hmmmm....

**gasp** Arms!! Sweet merciful Lord, that man has lovely arms!

Glad you got home alright! And I'm so glad we got to hang out this weekend, even if it was just for dinner. You really need to come out here more often! :P And thanks so much for the DVDs! The blooper reel was a riot, and I've been watching bits and pieces of the Celebrity Poker match. I can only take so much Dave Foley in one sitting, though.

Have you also seen this pic?

You don't like Dave Foley??? We may have to reevaluate this friendship. ;p

Oh my gawd! I'm dyin' for the high res pics from that shoot to make their way into the LJ world! When, God, when??

I loved Dave Foley back in his Kids in the Hall days. Dave Foley of the Celebrity Poker, just made me want to hit him. It made me very sad.

Damn! How did I miss that you've already been on your Vancouver trip! I was going to get some sekrit pointers for you about the best places to hang out.

Glad you had a great time. I recognised that photo immediately - but only because I sat in that very place and had coffee, not because I recognised it from BSG.

Glad you had fun.

Damn! I forgot to check with you before I left! I did manage to find the studio, but I doubt begging would have gotten us on the lot. The 'Stargate' studio was clearly visible. Was that where you shot your famous scene? ;)

	From: thegoyle	Date: June 14th, 2006 03:35 pm (UTC)		(Link)

No, begging wouldn't have got you in. But I'm sure I could have pointed you at external places where there may have been peeps to spot.

And yep, the Stargate lot was where I made my international debut. I'm surprised there was no memorial to the occasion in clear view!

Sadly, I heard shortly before I left that BSG had done a lot of their non-studio filming for the front half of the season already, so nearly zero chance of location shoots to spy on. But I'm sure I'll venture there again sometime, so if you have any info, let me know! :)

Welcome back. Can we in MI still visit Canada?

Love the icon, very classy!

Great photo, even without the link to BSG. Composition is good, and kinda looks like Claudia in the purple top.

I noticed that woman kinda looked like Claudia too. There is a pic of her on the Gateworld site in an ugly green top.

Welcome back! So glad you had such a good time, and even though you didn't see Jamie, you most likely walked the same streets he has ;)

We also drove through a nice neighborhood that could have been his!

I'm glad you got home safe! I miss you guys already. :(

That is a great shot of the library--I'll be anxious to see the rest of your pics! Especially the Lego sarcophagus ones. :D

That is also an excellent pic of Jamie, and awww. Such sweet things from Katee and Kerry.

HEE. Why am I remotely surprised that someone iconed that Ben and Claud shot?

(Reply) (Thread)

	From: asta77	Date: June 14th, 2006 04:44 pm (UTC)		(Link)

I miss you guys too. :( And it's totally making my job seem even more sucky at the moment.

The lego pics I think will be best left to e-mail, as well as one other. ;)

The Ben and Claudia shot - only a matter of time. And I'm sure a lot of others will be creative with the image too.

Those were neat quotes, though the one from Katee isn't going to encourage the RPFers one little bit, no siree.

You know you're excited about the Stargate premiere! Okay, maybe that's me.

Speaking of 'Stargate', have you seen a description for the 200th ep?

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

	From: danceswithwords	Date: June 15th, 2006 08:07 pm (UTC)		(Link)

I just read it. Now I'm really annoyed with myself for forgetting to finalize the "Wormhole X-Treme!" DVD.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

	From: asta77	Date: June 16th, 2006 01:42 am (UTC)		(Link)

I'm even a little annoyed. Which mens I care. WTF is up with that?

Btw, a have a DVR related question for you. My mother recorded a bunch of stuff for me while I was away and I can't get any of it to play on either of my DVD players or my laptop. And the laptop and one DVD player are capable of playing any DVD format. I asked her if she made sure she finalized the discs and she said she did. She also tested the playback on her recorder and the stuff she's been recording for herself works fine. Any ideas before I open this up to all of LJ?

Ha HA! Welcome to the dark side.

As for the DVR question, I'm not sure. The troubleshooting areas I can think of off the top of my head are that your mother was perhaps recording on DV+R discs instead of DVR-R discs, or that she didn't finalize and her DVR player didn't make that obvious. One of the reasons I screwed up with "Wormhole X-Treme!" was that my DVR device plays unfinalized discs seamlessly.

(Reply) (Parent) (Thread)

	From: asta77	Date: June 16th, 2006 12:25 pm (UTC)		(Link)

They are DVR+R discs, but both the less than one year old DVD player and the VAIO can play those. I think it's a failure to finalize discs. Which, in part, is my fault because when we orginally tested the player we only tested recordings on that player and I was assuming, incorrectly, that the message on the screen meant the discs were good to go on any player. I'm going to take my laptop over there and record something on the DVR and then test it out.

HA! I didn't read comments first, so mine said almost the exact same thing about Katee!

	Welcome back!

Awww! Sweet comments about JB in the magazine. :)

And no Bamber to be found. :(

Rats! Though I guess I should have known when I didn't read any articles about people swooning at JB's feet. ;)

I'll be interested in what you think about Hex. I couldn't even get through the two hour premiere.

You're welcome! And I'm sure I'll have thoughts to share on 'Hex'. ;)

I suddenly feel like Al Gore. Oh, wait, he invented the internet. ;p

	From: danceswithwords	Date: June 16th, 2006 06:19 am (UTC)		(Link)

Actually, Al Gore never claimed he invented the Internet, but he was instrumental in making sure that its predecessor, Arpanet, was moved out of military control and into the public sector. I hate that urban legend.

Wow. You just managed to ruin a lot of good jokes. Thanks for being such a buzzkill. :p

I guarantee that little interview with Katee will fuel a thousand and seven BSGRPF

Welcome home, kitten! Can't wait to hear all of your adventures!

Katee will soon learn to think more before she is quoted. ;)

Maybe; or maybe they encouraged this sort of thing because this is some sort of sexiest man on the telly sort of thing ;)
