Odd day.

Dozed after waking to footsteps upstairs, and had a dream about ( cut for Holocaust-like imagery. )

Our office went to a pub called Flanagan's today. For the joy of the names together, I ordered the Shepherd's Pie. It was tasty and warm, and then the receipt said "Shep ( Read more... )

1. There are "some beautiful studies by candlelight of Joe [Flanigan]'s face" in our future

2. roga beats that with the incredible real-life incarnation of John Sheppard and Adam Lambert's lovechild

3. An io9 blogger refers to apocryphal Firefly stories by Jane Espenson as original fiction, and no one calls them out on it. (Although - where do you ( Read more... )

Back in town, and, having just watched House, back online. Took maybe an hour to catch up on the reading list and open some tabs for later. (Okay, 20 tabs. But 20 isn't bad for six days.) I wish I had the discipline to stay off LiveJournal for most of the week every week; it's so much more efficient. But I know exactly how long that would last, and ( Read more... )

Just saw Thoughtcrimes.

1. Huh. That was not a typical "I saw it because X was in it, and it sucked" experience. I am so used to being embarrassed for whoever I'm watching for, either for the writing or the acting. This was not only not bad, it was thoroughly enjoyable. It got best when ( Not really spoilery other than a summary of the premise )

...and when I'm done not-writing Flanigan/Kretschmann, I'll not-follow up with the SGA "Vegas" AU fusion with Brimstone, where Detective Sheppard is Detective Stone (they already have the same hair and attitude and even some of the same facial expressions) and shiny-suit!McKay is a darker, less jovial, but still silky Devil. Maybe Teyla would be ( Read more... )

On the phone with my mother a while back, I mentioned how nice German sounds. She said she finds it too guttural. Since I used to think the same thing, I said maybe she associates it with all those brusque, crazed WWII speeches, and she just hasn't heard the right person speaking German. I was thinking specifically of Thomas Kretschmann, who has ( Read more... )

Okay so! The first draft of my thesis is TURNED IN and I don't have to think about it until next week. There was a phrase from a story by astolat, "Under the Sea" I think, that described some frat boys the morning after a party as "hollow-eyed and stunned-looking." That is my last little while in a nutshell ( Read more... )

Very busy lately, preparing for Impending Life Change and taking care of miscellany. Apologies to people I was supposed to beta for over the last few weeks, and to people who are looking for betas now. I hope I'll have time for it again if/when things start to settle down, but until then, please don't take it personally if I don't come by to read ( Read more... )

I just wanted to say that while it has taken me a year to begin to find Joe Flanigan attractive and I still don't think he's as hot as most fans and fellow characters say he is, his hands look very, very nice when he is touching a woman. Oh yes. It's like his fingers suddenly elongate-er, not in a freakish way-and his wrists ... are deliciously ( Read more... )
