No Stargate Atlantis audiobooks in 3rd series, squirrels & wet cats & whatever

Well, just went through a month's worth of LJ entries, of course, to discover I missed about a week. Darn. Hopefully I had read all that. Anyway, lots of cute squirrel photos, a cat playing in a bathtub IN THE WATER (adorable) and Stargate Atlantis fanfiction to bookmark. Boy, do I need to buy some spare time on eBay so I can read it all!

Came across http://community.livejournal.com/gate_pages/58913.html in which it says No Stargate Atlantis audiobooks for third set.  Yes, they're set before Continuum. Also, there are no Atlantis stories. Daniel and Vala are toplining the entire set, so it'll be solely SG-1 this time out.

And don't forget, these are all full cast audios, not dramatised readings. The cast is small, admittedly, but they'll be more dialogue driven than they have been up to now.

I'd read earlier that Michael Shanks and Claudia Black were doing six, but was too busy to go back to look, and well, no Stargate Atlantis. Darn darn darn. I mean I really do like Shanks' books, but I want SGA stories too. I wonder if it was a financial decision (not enuf SGA sales?) or if the writers just didn't do SGA? Anyway, I will miss them. I was hoping they could somehow SOMEHOW get Joe Flanigan or David Hewlett to do one.

*** For some unfathomable reason I am watching the AWFUL movie Land of the Lost on cable. It sucks beyond belief.  How could anybody take what had been a decent Saturday morning live action show from decades ago and turn it into this... drivel.

Been busy doing programming for MediaWest*Con. It's basically done. A bunch of typing/organizing to do, but that's on the weekend. I hope.

Gardening may just be one tomato plant this year. Don't think I'll have time to do a real garden what with all the rest of the outside work to do. I need to win Powerball...

Hmm, I wonder if that was why the Big Finish peeps at Chevron this February were being so quiet about this year's audio books? Not wanting to get flack from the SGA fans there?

Still, they did ask David Hewlett if he would be willing to do one for next year, so here's hoping *fingers crossed* that it means there will be more SGA ones eventually. As for whether David will do one or not - well, he seemed interested when I asked him if he was thinking about it, but who knows if anything will come of it?

Now I have to decide if I want to buy any of them this year. Not a big SG1 fan as such, but the one with Daniel (the very first one they did) was excellent imho, so... tempted. Also, more cast involved could be fun. And supporting the audio CDs might encourage more of them, hopefully including SGA ones. *iz indecisive*

I will probably do what I've always done. Buy them when they're all done in one fell swoop. I do like Michael Shanks and if he's in all of them. Glad to hear David Hewlett was approached to do one. Oh, hope he will.

TJ has just watched the Parent Trap. Did you know that they made an original in the olden days and three other movies after that one!!!!! I love Eight year olds and this one has no problem watching a girlie movie if there's slapstick in it :D
