Do the tourist stuff you gotta do.

Am not actually at sister's apartment ATM - am actually exhausted from driving back home early today and then chasing four small visiting cousins through downtown Baltimore all afternoon - but I give you your daily cat pics anyway, as I have a plenty of stock:

Okay, first I wait till she puts the camera away, *then* I claw her eyes out...


Ia! Ia! Come suckle upon the livid teats of Shub-Darcy, The Gray Cat of the Woods With A Thousand .. somethings!


Anyway I actually left camera at the apartment, so had to use actual *film*. *shutters*, and there will be no pictures of small-cousin-adventures or epic Lincoln Logs constructions of epic-ness, but in the spirit of "tourist stuff",

WHY DID NONE OF THE SGA PEOPLE I KNOW TELL ME ABOUT THIS BEFORE IT WAS GONE FROM MY CITY???


Yes, you say, nature film about penguins, yes, with tagline "As the water goes ice cold, his appetite turns red hot", yes, but there are many penguin films and not all of them can be about John/Rodney slash.

Yes, but you have not read the *credits* yet. Look more closely:

SEE?? AND I MISSED IT.

Not into the show, but those credits are so adorable.

I haven't actually watched the show in over a year, but "Pengiuns!" still makes me squee "SGA!!" the same way that "Yaks" makes me squee "SPN!!!"

If that's the film I'm thinking of, it's an extra feature on the "March of the Penguins" DVD. Someone gave it to me for Christmas, and the camera penguin is more entertaining than the actual film.

That doesn't suprise me; I tried watching March of the Penguins once, and it was the most boring nature documentary that ever boringed. It made me long for the days of Mutual of Omaha.

Was it part of the "making of" MotP, or just a neat extra?

I'd have to go hunt to be sure. Someone gave it to me for birthday or Christmas because I must like penguins. This is the only service I use where I'm not mysticpenguin, and half the people on my LJ friends list posted that it made them think of me. I have no idea where it is, because that is a slow, depressing movie. I think it's just one of the extras, but I don't remember.

Isn't it? I wonder if someone on the crew reads SGA fic.

Rodney the Penguin! *adores*

(and I didn't even like that story.)

Also, for some reason I misread 'LOCATED' as 'LOLCATTED'.

Which story didn't you like? *g* Del.icio.us has over 30 links for "john rodney penguin", this fandom is *insane*

OMG, and This one (http://lavvyan.livejournal.com/216890.html) is actually based on the Crittercam exhibit. :D
