ismoRandom things: Today the sky reverted to its default grey. It was cold. I visited my therapist, packed up the latest installment of Tron's care package and mailed it to her, bought stamps for my mother, critiqued a poem for a friend, and gave blood. The check engine light in my car came on. This is a really annoying thing that happened once before. We took it in, and the dealer couldn't find any meaningful diagnostic codes, no matter how many times he drove it around the block. After awhile it went off again. I hope the same thing will happen this time. It adds anxiety to be barreling down the highway at 80 mph with the check engine light on. I suppose to some it would add the spice of excitement, but I am not one of those people.
Last night I dreamed that it was many years after the end of Stargate:SG1, and Samantha Carter, Janet Frazier, and Daniel Jackson had gone to visit Jack O'Neill in a retirement community where he was living. It was somewhere in the desert. They were taking him outside to see a rocket launch, because Sam hadn't retired yet, and she had helped design the new rocket. Everybody looked old, though Daniel looked less old. But their old-faces looked kind of like old-face makeup, so I wasn't sure if this was actually happening, and they were really old, or if it was just a show. Teal'c wasn't there. He wouldn't have looked old in any case, because of being a Jaffa. On the one hand, it was great to see them all again. On the other hand, it was terribly poignant and sad to see them old, and I also wondered what the hell Jack was doing in an old folks' home in the desert. Why didn't he go home to Minnesota? Why wasn't he living in the cabin by the pond with no fish? Why wasn't he living with Daniel? (Okay, J/D fan here, I admit it.) Why wasn't he on some other planet, for that matter? If I had the whole gate network to choose from, I'm not sure I'd choose Earth. I think Maybourne could have set him up with a nice place on some pleasant world. Maybourne owed him. I woke up before I could find out what happened, but my headcanon on this is that the whole scene was just a set-up for some much more satisfactory conclusion. Perhaps that is just my wishful thinking about life in general!
