Test 1, 2, 3.

My new word: intereaction.
Although it was initially a typo, I think it is perfect for describing how Sheriff Carter relates to the residents of Eureka. On one level, he's interacting with them, but at the same time, part of his interaction is a reaction. He's reacting to their quirky geniusness.
It's downright Crichtonesque, actually. The regular guy/Earthling is forced to deal with irregular people, and in so doing, interacts with them while reacting in a "Holy crap, these people are batshit crazy!" sort of way.
And of course, the truth of it is that what makes them friends/family/home is that they're more normal/human than he is initially willing to realize.
I hasten to add that I don't mean my normal/human qualifiers as something that is necessarily better or superior *snickers at Crichton looking ridiculous and yelling "Humans are superior!" in Crackers Don't Matter*, but rather as something relatable. How Crichton and Carter are able to relate to them, and how we as an audience are able to relate to them. This is fiction made for humans by humans, after all.

Ain't typos grand?

While I'm on the topic of Eureka, I'm probably the only person that this is driving (more) nuts, but "Jack Carter"? I feel like he ought to be Jack O'Neill and Sam Carter's offspring or something, and that, in turn, irks me because I don't like them together together.

it's been insane farscape month, and last night was just sensory overload and now everything just seems dull and unreal in comparison.

it was! i loved it! and now i'm pissed at the supposedly SciFi channel all over again. not that i ever stopped being pissed, it had just died down to a dull roar. but now the rage has started bubbling up. they're doing a remake of battlestar galactica as a series, but they won't do farscape? frelling fekkiks.

the farscape miniseries is in 3 solar days. my good mood is wearing scorpy's body armor, bring on the farscape baby!

why did they have to frelling cancel it? it should have been allowed to contintue forever and ever. like law & order except less revolving of a cast. though they do revolve a bit adding stark, killing zahn, jool, sikozu, noranti, and they killed off crais too which was mean. but crichton, aeryn, d'argo, chiana, and rygel are the core cast members anyway. it could go forever. please?

some quotes from the Look at the Princess trilogy:
Crichton: On my planet we don't marry people we don't love unless they're critically ill billionaires.

Crichton: Humans don't live as long as sabaceans or hynerians, or delvians. When I get back, everyone, my dad, D.K., my sisters, Cameron Diaz, Buffy the Vampire Slayer will be dead.

Aeryn: (holding the Princess and Jenavia's faces against the mirror) Hello Ladies. Hope I'm not disturbing. Now listen to me closely so there's no misunderstanding. I don't know what game's being played on this little planet of yours, and I don't really care, what I care about is that a good friend of mind is not hurt, in any sense of the word, and if he is I will personally take revenge on both of your overly made up faces.

Crichton: How Batman was that?

it was very, very batman.

Bush got criticized for looking angry and bored during the last debate so this time he was smiling really creepily (at least in the part i saw) almost ferally. and he was like this hyper little rodent all bouncing out his chair to refute Kerry, even when Kerry was right (but we all expected that last bit didn't we?) so then after watching some lovely farscape (Liars, Guns and Money, Part I: A Not So Simple Plan) to get the yucky rodent face out of my head (my apologies to rodents everywhere) i'm off to bed. but wait! there's really really loud music playing on the fraternity quad! never mind that wacky sleep thing, let's party! except not. but i get up this morning to discover that my cold is progressing to include a cough and there is only one available washing machine so my laundry is going to take twice as long as usual.
