Party time again!

[wiseheart]

Hi folks! *waves*

Time is flying by, isn't it? It's that time of a year again - I'm getting older. In this case, I'm turning 55 on October 9, which used to be an important thing, back under the old regime. Women could retire at the age of 55 back then. So I've decided to ignore all that fantastic headway we've supposedly made towards democracy in the last two decades and enter my virtual retirement, blithley overlooking the fact that I'll have to work another 7 or 8 or only God knows how many years.

So, let's party! Last years virtual birthday party yielded 742 comments on 6 pages, which won't be easy to top, but we're good, aren't we? WE CAN DO IT! So, let's give it a try! In the recent years, it has always been great fun, so let's have fun again!

You're all cordially invited to help yourself to a slice of virtual Dobos Cake recipe - it's my absolute favourite, although I never managed to get it as good as my Garnny used to.

Cheers!

Note: The party will be closed on October 9, at midnight, sharp. Join us and have fun!

Oh, I completely agree with you. I like me some more mature characters, even in sci-fi. *points at icon*

I do too - I get very tired of the fact that it appears that most people in tv shows are far too young for the qualifications and experience that they are supposed to have. Not that I mind occasional geniuses especially where it actually makes sense (eg Charlie Eppes in Numb3rs) and where they consider the impact that this will have had on the characters and those around them.

"Stargate: Universe" comes to the mind...
Although in that one, the older charcters were every bit as stupid and amoral as the younger ones.

I still haven't seen it - all that I've heard makes me very reluctant to spend any money to see if, but eventually I'll probably see it, and my expectations of it are very low.

Save your money and wait until it comes to free TV. It's really not worth it.
