Hey, hi, how are ya?

[pepper_field]

Oh-ho-ho. I love garlic. I love it lots. But this hummus (houmous? hummous? whatever) of wot I have just eaten about a teaspoon and then given up... no. Too much! I do not want all my subsequent food to taste of garlic! It does not go well with yoghurt, honey and muesli. Nor tea. It goes particularly badly with tea. Bleh.

I wonder if lemon drizzle

You need a fic ninja icon - all in black with nun-chucks!

(also, hummus can never have too much garlic! hurumph! :) )

Yay for t-shirts of geekiness and kitchen cleaning and, um, things.

*crosses fingers for the job thing to come through already*

[pepper_field]

I love garlic. Really, really love it. But this was... I think it was too raw, or something. Overpoweringly not nice.

Fic ninja icon! Yes!

Thanks for the good thoughts - I think the job thing is going to drag on a little, because we're in a busy period, and all that recruitment stuff just tends to get put back so long as they have someone (i.e. me) in place, doing the job already... But I'm not in a hurry to have an interview. At all. Gah.

Ninja ficcing instead of ninja fics! Maybe that's what Daniel does when he sneaks out at night - he writes fic! Possibly even about ninjas.

Could the Jack quote be from the S1 cliffhanger, right before he asks the Jaffa where the bathroom is and Teal'c shoots the Jaffa with a zat?

...Is this the start of a Jack-quote post? :) :)

[pepper_field]

Heh. Well, I probably will do a Jack quote post at some point, but not on a TUESDAY! *g*

Hmm... *checks* No, that's not it. Well remembered, though. I think my quote is more of an "I'm confused and/or annoyed, and therefore will pretend not to have listened to what you just said" sort of thing. I think. It might be in the briefing room. Argh. It was just a random phrase that popped up in my brain, and it doesn't have any visuals or clear wording attached, so could have been said at any point in 8 seasons. I'm betting someone will recognise it, though. Or, hoping they will. Or maybe I'll remember the context. Need caffeine.

Daniel sneaks out at night? *g*

[sg_fignewton]

No, it gives me a distinct feel for Jack playing dumb!colonel as a distraction. I could be wrong, though.

Daniel sneaks out at night? *g*

You've never heard of this? A quote from MS at DragonCon:

"Daniel’s actually a night-time ninja. He fights crime in the streets of Colorado Springs. When everyone thinks he’s up late studying stuff, he’s actually fighting crime on the streets. There's a little tidbit for you fan fiction writers."

...and an entire genre of Ninja!Daniel fic (and this!) was born. :)

[pepper_field]

Excellent! I didn't know that. Heehee! I'm learning a lot, lately. I didn't know that the lady who plays Sha're was actually pregnant with MS's baby during the filming of Secrets, either.

How I hear it in my head is Jack butting in when someone is talking ABOUT him (or possibly his team), not TO him. It's going to drive me bananas.

[tejas]

Y'know... I keep 'hearing' that in Kurt Russell's voice. I think it might even be from the movie when they're sneaking back into the pyramid and the jaffa are flipping back all there hoods. This would be when Jack's discovered, right before he opens fire.

[pepper_field]

Hm. Well, it's entirely possible he says it in the movie, but to be honest, I don't think I'd remember it. I'm sure it's RDA.

...Although, of course, that doesn't have to mean it's from Stargate...

[tejas]

LOL!!!!!

[pepper_field]

So I guess what I'm saying is that RDA (or someone like him) in Stargate (or some point in his career, but most likely Stargate because I've watched it more) said (something along the lines of) "Hey, hi, how are ya?". Possibly in a confused/annoyed tone of voice.

This is what it's like, living with my brain.

[tejas]

And fic ninja? *Too* cool. :-)

Just back away from the t-shirts. Or at least leave yourself enough to get by once the fit leaves you. ;-)

(So says the woman who has a drawer full of t-shirts with stuff written on them. ;-)

[pepper_field]

Hee. I'm going to get this all confused and end up with a 'fic ninja' T-shirt, you know. *g*

[tejas]

Well *that* would at least be appropriate. ;-)

Instead of nun-chucs (how *do* you spell that?), you'd need to use pens connected with something ficcish... but nothing's coming to mind. :-)

[pepper_field]

Hmm... pens connected with other pens, actually - that might look cool... (I think Abyssis spelled it right, above.)

[holdouttrout]

Oh, my goodness. I must have a geeky SG-1 T-shirt for D*Con. I MUST. And it must be green. (I might not actually be kidding about that, although I hope I don't end up dying *everything* green. I mean, I love the color, but enough is enough! (I could, also, just buy myself a green T-shirt to begin with.)

Speaking of D*Con... *will send e-mail*

I wonder if lemon drizzle cake will get rid of the taste. Got to be worth a try.

Cake is always worth a try.

I don't suppose you have an alternate identity under which you post a blog on some fannishly unrelated subjct? Because if you did, I'd totally read it. You never fail to make me giggle.

[pepper_field]

Hee. Geeky T-shirts are fun! I saw an icon the other day that had a line about "Fandom is T-shirts that only 50 other people understand." I'm not sure even that many would understand my T-shirt, without explanation. *is geek to the max*

My advice would be to buy a green T-shirt to begin with - because when dying stuff, it seems like such a waste to just dye the one thing... Plus it fades much more easily than shop-bought stuff, so it's a bit dispiriting, if you make an effort over it. Just my opinion. It's good fun, though, if you have stuff that is, say, a nice shape, but a rubbish colour.

Lemon drizzle cake worked! The Jack method in action.

Talk to you on email about the other stuff. ;) (But, er, not until I get home in about 2-3hrs time, 'cause I can't access my webmail at work. Curses, foiled!)
