I’ve been busy lately. Busy completing a few pages for the main site that have been sitting in draft limbo for quite a while, or in some cases non-existent – drafts done in my head but not actually put to paper, so to speak. It feels good to finally get some momentum going! The focus […]
As mentioned in my Gods and Monsters page, Stargate is very good at touching upon themes of historical alien influence upon our cultures. This is quite a powerful lure to us – even before the Stargate movie aired, the belief that ET had been paying us visits for centuries has existed, and in recent times […]
One of the driving narratives within Stargate SG1 was the relationship between the Goa’uld and earth mythology. The Stargate film built upon the fascinating idea that aliens had constructed the pyramids, and the series expanded upon this connection between earth-bound culture and alien influence. In the early years of Stargate SG1, Egyptian mythology was the […]
5th November 2015: Given the washout that has been this year’s Bonfire Night (the rain here has been pretty unrelenting all day), instead I’ve done some site work – including a little Christmas post, inspired by hearing someone shamelessly playing Christmas songs earlier today. 15th October 2015: So it’s been a while since a definitive […]
So, what am I planning for this site over the next few months? Well, at some point I’ll finish the stuff I was writing about trains, and I’ll also complete season 3 of my F1 game diary. A Football Manager 2014 game diary is also in the works, and I may one day get around […]
Today marks an important Meerkat Musings milestone – today, this site turns one! (awww!) I’ve enjoyed writings pages and posts for this site so far, and it’s expanded quite rapidly – the site has also undergone a few structural changes, and I learn a little more about site management with every passing week. As we’ve […]
So I’ve added a rant about Head Office – anyone who works in an office or retail will get that one – and done some tidying up too whilst I was at it. I have archived the 2014 site updates I made, which cleans up the Site Updates page quite nicely. My next set of […]
(The titular stargate) Of most of recent sci-fi offerings, I have found Stargate (and its spin-offs) to be the most compelling and intriguing of them. The first TV series, SG1, delved into not only Egyptian mythology, but also wove this strand into many other historical and mythological events, creating a rich tapestry. The shows were […]
So, slowly but surely a new page on the rules and regulations of Formula 1 is gathering pace. It isn’t quite ready yet, but it’s coming together nicely. I am also considering starting my pages on Stargate – I may or may not start those before the New Year – we shall see.
Down the years it’s fair to say I have watched a lot of science fiction. I regard myself as being a big fan of a lot of it – Star Wars, Doctor Who, Babylon 5, Stargate… I love it all. The one that started my love affair with sci-fi though, is Star Trek. I often […]
Breached the 70K mark on my wip! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
This is just sheer absolute, exquisite beauty.
I have eaten too much pizza.
I don't think it's up to you to decide what's best for women, nor whether or not men can find them attractive...
You may be wondering where this post will go. Well, let’s place the scene in the restaurant above. What might I deem inappropriate behaviour in this setting? A restaurant has waiting staff, who (depending on the quality of the establishment) may or may not be paid a particularly decent wage, yet will work very hard. […]
