Recc'ing "Invisible Cities" and "In the City of Seven Walls"
I just finished reading a remarkable fan-fiction by dorcas_gustine called "Invisible Cities". They patterned it after Italo Calvino's book of the same name. It used the travells of Marco Polo as a metaphor of SGA's explorations of the Pegasus galaxy--in a way that several other fine works has captured it, namely the astounding "In the City of Seven ( Read more... ) -
I, Juror alas
This is really a day late. I fumbled rather spectacularly trying to *both* get into the secure parking (hey, sorry wrong gate, I'm backing up now Mr. Policeman (seen this all too much before), and wow, dropping my juror's badge on the courthouse's garden steps. OK, I'm in, security wanded and signed in... tick, tick, tick... the judge walks in and ( Read more... ) -
I, Juror
Well hey, I got picked to sit on a case. Oddly maybe, I'm kind of excited at the prospect. So, all that I can say is "State vs. _____". I'm also a bit scared, just as when I was a corpsman, here you are holding someone's life and reputation in the balance.

Well, it's been ages. Perhaps the constant driving back and forth from nuclear hell to paradise is taking its toll on my time. Hey, I can deal.

Yay, I'm updating my journal -- and guess why? It's Math Awareness Week! (National?) ...at least in this town, Hanford land, nuclear-ville, the nation's (US) largest toxic waste site (bleh, gack, shudder) and ground zero of a dozen science labs and gazillion PhDs and secret gov't radioactive dirty programs. Anyhoo -- in all seriousness this is ( Read more... ) -
Checking In and Reccs Lately
Yep, the last entry was likely *the most pathetic entry evah*. OK, at least I got that out of the way early! Or maybe this is it because today's housework (godsdamn that theme again!), and a playdate between the kid and schoolfriend doesn't make for a fab day thematic wise. And yet, a happy day.

God I hate it when shit doesn't save on backspace. Now I can't remember, 'cause I'm a fricking Pisces and I've had a fricking Pisces kind of day (but I'm rather happy that I just remembered how to spell Pisces), but I had a rather emotive thing going here.

Hmm, Kitchen Cabinet snippet...
So, I changed the look of this journal and my wee ficlet up and dissapeared from here. That's so nice. Its like elves came in the night and changed your kitchen back to what it was before you remodeled it.

Salieri's latest journal entry (http://troyswann.livejournal.com/349579.html) "Daniel Rummaged Through the Tupperware Drawer" reminded me of a smidgent (sp?) of a long unfinished fanfic of mine: "Don't Tell". Another kitchen scene ( Read more... )
