and then the world went splat!

I'm skipping the Baltimore/Accra/Colorado post in favor of Lagos. Amazingly enough, I actually had a really good time on the three day layover there.

( Lagos, Nigeria and how my views of this city went through a bit of a change )

Skiffy strikes again!

I'm really not too surprised they cancelled SG1. Skiffy doesn't exactly have the greatest track record when it comes to shows. Kinda ironic though, Farscape got cancelled a year after Skiffy acquired SG1. They managed to weasel their way out of making season 5 due to some loophole in the contract. I think they said they cancelled it because of production costs and low ratings. And now that SG1 isn't bringing in the ratings it once did, it's buh-bye SG1. I'm sure there are reasons I'm not aware about for the cancellation, but I'm kinda miffed that they're ruining my Sci-fi fridays. They'd better have something DAMN good to replace it with, because if I'm not going to have a life I want my scifi. *pouts*

They really are taking lessons from Fox, that MUST be it. And clearly I am still bitter over the whole Farscape thing. That's kinda... sad. Although I know regala_electra remains more bitter then I.

Also, thank god I leave Nigeria tomorrow. My body is all screwed up because of the time zone change (and the fact that I took a long nap yesterday, which I shouldn't have done) and I got maybe 3 hours of sleep last night. Also, I'm not wandering around this hotel again without someone with me to bail me out when some random guy comes up wanting to know my nationality, my name and if I'll be his 'special' friend. *snort*

Strength in numbers next time.

And to top it all off I have a reserve line next month so I haven't a clue where I'll be going or even when I'll be going and for how long. *joy*

I need sleep.

Update: I just realized I'm going to miss Eureka tonight *groan*

*yawn*

I think I've been up for over 24 hours by this point but I'm really not sure. The time difference is throwing me off. It's almost 7 in New York and yet it's 12 here. So yeah, I'm pretty sure I haven't slept in the last 24 hours (hence my rambly-ness and probably incoherence)

But hey, at least I made it here. Here being Africa.

Also, I'm really not sure what the hell this show is that's on the TV right now- it's got Katie Holmes pre-Tom Cruise as a goth-type girl trying to cook a turkey and the guy who plays Jack from Will and Grace as her neighbor in her apartment building who has the amazing stove. It's also not well made and I'm quite baffled by it. This may be a result of me not being able to process much due to extreme jet lag.

And I get to wake up in the morning, drag myself back onto a plane and go back to the states.

Also, random observation. They tell you the Sahara is big, but I never realized just how big until we were flying over it.
