Evil Wrapped in a Fangirl Disguise

I have this random desire to see Vala and Jack Sparrow in fic together.

Got diddly-squat done this weekend. Well, that's not entirely true. I got diddly-squat done school-wise this weekend. I did, however, finish reading The House With a Clock in Its Walls as well all of Howl's Moving Castle. Should have worked on papers and class reading, but I had to get HMC done or I'd do nothing but think about reading it. That plan kind of backfired when I finished it and still couldn't stop thinking about it. I'm completely enchanted by it and really wish it had been longer.

Friday Kay, the twins, and I went to Archie McPhee's. I hadn't been there in years. Tris got a sasquatch action figure since he's recently become fascinated with cryptozoology. Callie got a glider and we both got gum. The Nihilist gum was pretty funny. "We don't believe in flavor." But I had to get the Sparkle Ninja strawberry flavored gum. ( Because the ninja was the cutest thing. )

It's really bad that everything ever reminds me of SGA in some way. I'm looking at the gum and I see Angry Scotsman. My mind goes to Beckett. I see Super Genius gum and I think of McKay. I spot the Sparkle Ninja gum last and who do I think of? Sheppard. I...don't even know why.

(Although now I do want a sparkle ninja icon.)

Anyway, now I'm sitting here working on my Angel assignment, my Chinese scripture, and watching The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Last night we watched Brokeback Mountain. It just doesn't get any less depressing.

I'm writing my response to Book 8 of Paradise Lost and every time I write I go write "Adam" I end up typing "Adama" instead.

There should be an epic poem about Battlestar Galactica. Starring a Cylon as Satan, working to bring about the fall of human-kind by tricking Adama into eating of the fruit from the Tree of Blatant Religious Symbolism.

I don't know where to go with that. Mostly I just want to see Jamie Bamber in a fig leaf. ;)

Also, looking at BSG on IMDb.com, I'm vaguely amused by everyone's first names. Karl. Hee.

I'd like to take a quick moment to point out the subject of this post and note the fact that it was a complete accident and has made me laugh a lot harder than it really should have.

So the F.C.C. song from Family Guy last night just *killed* me. It can be found here, along with a link to Eric Idle's F.C.C. song.

I can't stop laughing at "And they'll make you call fellatio a trouser-friendly kiss." I can't decide if it's because of the "trouser-friendly" part or because Stewie's the one that sings it.

Haven't laughed that hard at something for awhile.

Also caught the end of Dirty Dancing last night. Which lead to Natasha sharing a SV fanfic that was like DD. Which lead to me bringing up a parody with Jack and Daniel. Which lead to sticking Rodney in the corner. "Nobody puts Rodney in a corner." I think you can stick John and Rodney in any movie situation and they just work. ( Dirty Dancing, Atlantis Style )

Um. Yeah. Did I mention I'm a little sleep deprived? I totally blame whacked out AU-crossover-things on that. Except, omg, I can see it! Why is it that Sheppard and McKay fit so well into romantic comedies and movies of the '80s?

Oh! Also got to see the beginning and parts of Boa vs. Python on Sci-fi yesterday. David Hewlett! Oh, the crap I will watch just to see you.

Meeting with my adviser in 15 minutes to discuss winter quarter. I'm thinking...Ethics, Mythology, and maybe Theology/Religion level 3. But we'll see what happens come registration.

( Sheppard. John Sheppard. )

So, there's that. Natasha, I would like you to persuade me out of playing with this idea. Really. I don't need to write tiny scenes on scraps of paper. Or figure out just where the other SGA/SG-1 characters would fit into this. (Teyla's a sexy secret agent from another country. Daniel works on decoding things.)

In other, seriously-I'm-not-crazy news, got my driver's license renewed. Yea. Only have the temporary right now, but I don't look like a complete dork in my picture. In fact, ::gasp:: I look like me. Also bought Lost. YEA. Spent part of the evening looking for easter eggs. Actually found some, too. Go me!

Anyhoo. ::is dull::

This morning I had a strange dream. Dad, Grandma, Tom, and I were going to church in the winter time. We got there and parked, but the parking lot was like the one at the high school. And for some bizarre reason I was wearing a dress in the middle of winter. Freeeezing. But there was no snow. Anyway. I was the first to get out of the car, and as I'm standing there bouncing on the balls of my feet to keep warm, a car pulls into the space next to us. It's Mulder and Scully. Apparently they were having an argument, because as they were getting out of the car, Mulder was saying, "People prefer comedy, Scully, over dramas of the psyche."

Um.

He then proceeded to put on three wool coats over the one he was already wearing. Scully just looked at him (like she does) and Mulder just kind of shrugged and said, "What? I get cold easily."

And then I woke up. I have no idea what that means. Huh.

A few days ago I had a dream and it was sort of an ER/SGA crossover AU thing. The building looked like a cross between Pigott at school and Atlantis. Sheppard and McKay were wearing green surgical scrubs. At one point a woman collapsed on the floor and McKay ran to her and started yelling medical stuff and checking her pulse. Sheppard wasn't far behind him. That was the most exciting thing. Other than that, the two of them just snarked at each other in a flirty way and pretended they were busy. It was great!

Mom says that ER would totally be a better show if SGA were part of it. I think I agree. Also? It's fun picturing Sheppard and McKay in scrubs. It totally works for me. :)

In other not so entertaining news, Friday was the three year anniversary of my grandpa's death. Everyone, saving me, went to the cemetery at some point on Friday. Mom made up an arrangement of white roses and a "Grandpa" balloon. Sunday I drove Grandma to church and afterward we went to the cemetery and the arrangement and balloon were gone. This isn't the first time someone has snurched things from Grandpa's grave. Every week we add something to it, and every week something else is gone.

It's really frustrating that someone would do something like that. Grandma is paranoid and thinks it's something personal against her and Grandpa. I disagree. I can't think of anyone in Royal who would do something like that to us. But than, I'm fairly optimistic about people and haven't really been around for the last couple of years, so things could have changed.

And in other crappy news, Jana's boyfriend passed away yesterday.

Finished watching season six of SG-1 yesterday. My biggest overall thought? Poor Jonas. I mean, he wants so much to really belong on SG-1 and most of the season it feels like he's just tacked on and O'Neill just puts up with him. And then the last few eps it seemed to me that O'Neill was finally accepting him completely. And it's *sad* because Daniel's just gonna come back and screw that all up. And, ok, maybe that's fine because Jonas will go back to Kelowna and do whatever he does, but I still feel bad about it. Plus, I rather liked Jonas! (Although it is nice to see Daniel again.)

Other than that, loved "Redemption 1 & 2" for McKay (ee!), "Unnatural Selection" for finally officially introducing me to Fifth (I almost said "Six" and then went "No, wait, that's BSG." Whoops.), and "Paradise Lost" 'cause, damn, that was a beautiful ep. "Full Circle" was also good. And "Abyss" is probably my single favorite episode of the season, possibly of the series as I've seen so far. At least it's one of my top five favorite eps. "Abyss" is just...It's got the best O'Neill stuff, the best Daniel stuff, the best Jack/Daniel stuff, and that really cool anti-gravity cell. Although I think it would have been better if they hadn't put Michael Shanks' name in the credits at the beginning. It's more fun when people show up randomly and you're not expecting them to show up randomly.

But "Abyss." Yeah. Wow. The scenes between Jack and Daniel in the cell that show exactly why I *know* that those two love each other, slash or not. And you really get a sense of how Jack sees himself and how Daniel sees him, and the difference between the two. It's just great.

Sigh.

Am so far on "Homecoming" of season seven. I like Jonas' hair. And Daniel in the blue robes. I am shallow. Also, "Jim"? Hee! But also, aw. Poor Jack.
