Yay, Jack/Daniel banner goodness for all!

Go here for Jack/Daniel banner goodness
ETA:And now also here!

God, I read so much fanfic. I've read so much SGA stuff that now I start reading a fic and can't remember if I've read it before (which for me never happens, I remember pretty much everything I've ever read and how the plot goes and even specific scenes down to dialogue sometimes depending on how memorable it was.)

Lucy's boyfriend Dan was over last night and met Dad for the first time and was generally nice and not annoying or weird, so he gets an approval rating. I managed not to do my usual overkill rambling thing that I usually do when I meet new people because it makes me anxious. This is a Good Thing because it makes me sound like an idiot.

When are people going away to uni? I head off on the 19th. If anyone wants to get together and do stuff before then, next week is the time. Drop me an email and we'll organise something :) I know I promised a zoo trip but I forgot. Sorry! Maybe next year?

...while recovering from the lurgy. I'm mostly better now, just a tiny bit sniffly and with a bit of a cough left over, though that was pretty bad this morning - I think it's calling up the Ghost of Christmas Past, as in the truly awful cough I had last December/January. Hopefully that will continue to calm down and leave now.

So, Things I Have Been Thinking About...

  • Isn't it cool to know that a thousand years ago or more your ancestors lived in the very land you call your home today? I was thinking about this in the States, too, about how everyone there was an immigrant at some point or other, but both sides of my family are at the very least Norman in origin and without much migration. Neat.

  • STARGATE ATLANTIS I LOVE YOU. I. LOVE. YOU. Watched eps four and five and they were ACE. Rodney got shot in the ASS! With an ARROW! And then had MORPHINE-INDUCED RAMBLINGS! Words cannot express how much I love this show. Also, Ronon backstory! And a hint of John backstory! Wicked! Anyone who wants these can have copies of the eps at any time.

  • Numb3rs is a cool show. I bought it in the US and I've already watched ten out of thirteen episodes, all yesterday (though please remember that I am ill and thus had no energy to do anything much else.) I love the brothers (especially Charlie) and it's really interesting seeing how they treat the whole 'amazing mathematician' thing since that's what I'm trying to do with Toby. I may go back to The Mourning Tree and put more maths in it in a subtle sort of way to get that mindset across more. I'll definitely be downloading the second season when it comes out, though. [livejournal.com profile] ionaonie, we can squee together about it over the internet every week after each episode airs, yeah? ^-^

  • It's really interesting to watch TV with a writer's eye and suddenly realise why they do specific things visually. For instance, in Smallville, Clark wears blue and red ALL THE TIME. Those are, of course, Superman' colours. But then, when he's under the influence of red kryptonite, he wears white and black or something else along those lines. It really makes a visual difference. And in Numb3rs, the two guys look alike enough to be brothers but they dress them vey differently and do their hair very differently to show the similarities and differences between them more clearly. It's really interesting.

    Notes for people specifically because I'm too lazy to email you:

    [livejournal.com profile] tarayith, did you watch any of the SGA I lent you? Did you like it?
    [livejournal.com profile] katsideswide, did you watch The 4400? (You never remember to read this, so I don't know why I bother, so I'll probably end up emailing you ^-^)
    [livejournal.com profile] pobbit, if you want to come over some time soonish, you can get your SGA Season Two back and also I'll write episode five of the new season onto a disk for you. We can even use the one I already gave you, it's rewritable.

    Anyone else, just drop me a line if you want to chat, I'm totally free the rest of the summer :) Will soon be putting out details on zoo trip, also!
  • tahariel: (FFX - Yuna - my life before)
    I've started swimming again and I always forget how much I love it. I feel terribly healthy-minded (although obviously it won't have done anything for me yet, I have hopes!) I'm planning on going to the gym over the summer if I can, as well, if they do the student discounty thing they did last year again.

    I bought the new Keane album the other day, which is gorgeous. I was trying to decide which of their two albums I liked better, but then I thought, 'how can you decide when one of the two things is so familiar and beloved?' so I gave up and stole the wording to put into something else, because I think 'familiar and beloved' is a really nice turn of phrase :)

    At some point this summer I will be organising a trip to the zoo. If you want to come, let me know, and we will all go and point at fuzzy animals. (Look in the comments to see a picture of a fuzzy animal, though not one from London Zoo as far as I know...)
