Oddities

Walking back from Marks & Spencer (I know, I know, but I am lazy and their prepared meals are good) I saw a couple of window-dressers deep in (to me) silent, pantomime conversation. One of them was gesturing emphatically with a severed mannequin arm. She actually tapped her companion with it, on the shoulder, like she was knighting him. I never

Are you talking about rageprufrock's fic? Yeah, I read that, too. And liked it. *headdesk*

Okay, new theory. SGA is Will Smith in MIB: whatever it is...it makes it look good.

NO! Where where where? *makes "gimme" motions*

[fureux]

imagine if it was a real arm they were knighted with. *brain ticks over with genii and reavers and oh, oh, oh*

[trinityofone]

GAH! Reavers!

Wow, thanks so much for reading them! You must've been so confused, though...seriously, I'm quite curious: how hard were they to follow, having never seen the show?

And you should write fic! I know it sounds like a platitude, but you never know how it'll turn out unless you try! Also, dude, writing takes practice. You should see some of my fic from my X-Files days. Um, actually, no you shouldn't. ;-)

I'm curious though, when they destroyed the Starbucks, what did they do with the baristas?You know, I kept waiting for someone to ask me that, and you're the first person who has! So, two answers for you

yeay! i'm glad to hear you're having a good time!

how is The Novel, by the way? although it sounds like you have a lot else preoccupying you [like stupid history essays ... was never a big fan of those myself].

[trinityofone]

DEATH TO HISTORY ESSAYS! Grr.

The Novel is kicking my ass. Everyone (er, the three people I showed it to) hated the ending, so I'm trying to rewrite it, and it's NOT COOPERATING. And I keep getting distracted by shiny things: Atlantis fanfic, this other novel I want to start...

Er, how are you?

[snowmanscraps]

yeah, funny how these things like to take on a life of their own, in the most annoying sort of ways ... and then you're like, 'should i just let it sit and stew on its own and think about how its being a bad boy, or should i tackle it and figure that with enough will power, something will turn out?' the eternal dilmena ...

i'm doing pretty well =), in beijing on a fulbright studying tibetan-influenced chinese pop music, and was 'kindly' half-scolded by my prof today for not getting my ass into gear fast enough on kicking my research project into full gear ... cuz i've been sort of dragging my feet on this project ... self-motivation is so hard sometimes.

getting used to this city but i think my chinese is still crap.

i'm going to see an ice skating competition saturday! let me tell you, exciting stuff.

i hope you're doing well! i mean, it sounds like you are, but being in a foreign city can definitely have its ups and down ...
