btw, your header is awesome even though I have no clue what it is.

And Jack really shouldn't have signed up for that ficathon, should he?

[pepper_field]

Heh, snap. No, Jack should know better than to sign up for ficathons. They always give him a headache.

My header is a photo I took of the towers of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona. I thought it looked very looming. :)

Oooh, thanks for the heads up on the Perseid. I'll have to get my telescope out and head down to the park in the wee hours.

Good luck on lack of clouds! I just went out (it's past midnight where I am) and saw a few of 'em, zipping past. It's beautifully cloudless here, but unfortunately a lot of light pollution.

Oooooh. I haven't finished my apocalypse_kree story, either.

Although I *am* done with sjficathon. Thank goodness.

[pepper_field]

Oh, I really want to read your sjficathon story, but I'm not allowing myself to read any of them, as a sort of carrot / stick thing for getting my story finished.

When I'm done, I'm going to revel in all the Sam/Jack fic. Yay!

[holdouttrout]

I still am going to attempt to get my story on on time. I might even make it...maybe.

You have a lot more willpower than I do, though.

I tried to get up early enough to see some, but I didn't quite make it before it was too light, and there was also some low-lying clouds right where the pretteh lights would have been.

Still, I thought of Stargate on my morning walk, which is always good. Plus, I then had time for a really AWESOME breakfast--my favorite meal of the day, and so much better when one has time to enjoy a cup of mint tea. :-D

[pepper_field]

Heh. I went out and stood (in a car park!) at midnight, and saw a few. Wasn't the ideal place to be standing at midnight, but it was the only place I wasn't being blinded by streetlights. Yes, a darkened car park at midnight. That's not asking for trouble in any way. :D And I watched A Hundred Days beforehand. Laira irritates me less than she used to.

Oh, apparently the show carries on for another few nights, so you still could get to see them, possibly. But it's possibly not worth standing around in the dark for a few hours to see one or two pale meteors. Honestly, you'd think they could organise these things for a Saturday. ;)

[holdouttrout]

Laira actually never irritated me much. In fact--if they hadn't done the whole romantic storyline, I could have easily liked her. I mean, she's a strong, female leader, and she's pretty smart, too. (Although really, a meteor show like that would prompt me to start asking some hard questions.) And it's not the romance per se that annoys me, but the timing, the fact that Jack *says* he's going to come back and then doesn't (making him rather a jerk, honestly), and, well, I could go on.

Hmmm...if I happen to be up and outside my town, I may attempt to see some more. Read: not going to happen. A good idea, nonetheless.

I myself watched Upgrades, D&C, and WoO last night. WoO is still just so very hilarious. And I still want to learn how to juggle. I have hope. If Jack can learn Latin...

[pepper_field]

Well, one might assume that Jack did go back, maybe once, and found she wasn't pregnant / wasn't interested in having a loooooooooooooooooooong distance relationship. They never definitively say he doesn't - yeah, in Shades Of Grey he hasn't, but that's the very next episode. And presumably the SGC stays in contact with the Edorans, given the whole naquadah thing.

And the whole town seems a little blase about those meteors. A third of them stay behind, despite the exploding meteors already hitting the ground. D'oh.

The only thing I didn't like about Laira was the "Give me a child" bit. Just, ew, no. Creepy.

And, hah, I love those three eps, so much. Unfortunately, the learning Latin was done by a fictional character. I'd learn to juggle if RDA would teach me - or Chris Judge, for that matter. Mmm...

I'd like to watch a version of Upgrades with the bits from D&C cut in. Wouldn't fit the tone of the rest of it, but it'd be interesting to see it in context.

[aurora_novarum]

I do actually love the parts of it that are still in my head,

Why is it so hard to get onto screen/paper when it's always so clear and cool in your head? This is true regardless of ficathon fic or no. Heh.

Grr. Silly muse. :-)

[pepper_field]

It's so unfair, isn't it? I have this whole story... if I just didn't have to go to the trouble of putting it into words. Darn it. :)
