Tomorrow, the Antenna Guy is coming to attach a 20' pole (and antenna) to the house. We will have TV. It's a cause for medium-to-large-scale celebration.

Also, I'll be home. Alone. Unpacking.

*snerk*

Well, I should be. However, what I'll really be doing is this little "Five Things..." Meme, should any of you want to give me a prompt.

You post a couple of five things topics, lists, categorys, whatever, in my comments section. Then, in a separate post, eventually, I'll post the answers to some your Top 5 ideas, according to me. Serious or fun! Then you post this offer in your own journal, if the mood takes you.

As for fandoms... hell, give it a shot. If I don't know the fandom, I can speak up loud and say so.

OMG, I LOVED these! I was offline for a couple of days and I came back to this wonderful present (and unexpected too, because I forgot I even requested this) and I was so, so, *gleeful*. And all of these mornings are *so* perfect and so Rodney ("sleep is for the under-excited" which we all know Rodney never is and "He wouldn't have known what to say anyway." which is, yes, yes, Rodney is only struck speechless by other people's mortality, other people's sacrifices), but I fell in love with the morning after they returned to Earth - the 'normal' conversations and traffic sounds, forgetting how to work the coffee machine. But the last line broke my heart: "If he listens hard, he can almost hear the ocean" becuase just the depth of meaning and longing in those few words demostrates how very much Earth isn't home for Rodney anymore, how despite the anguish that living in Atlantis can bring, it's home. *smiles*

Now that I've babbled at you, you should go here (http://ekaterinn.livejournal.com/115905.html) and request a "5 Things" from me. ^_;

Considering how long it took me to get back and finish all the prompts (well, all except one, so... I'm nearly there), I'm not surprised. I am, however, thrilled that you enjoyed it and that you *got* what I was trying to say with that last morning -- the way that it's familiarity that makes a home.
