Thank you for your clicks!
I'll be Ninja Clicking! *POOF*

Why, yes, I've seen this one before! Raise your hand if you're surprised...

::looks at empty landscape::

Sadly, because this isn't a new one for me, I did not make the time to rewatch. I hope to do so before the end of the week, though. In particular, I always more or less skimmed over the SGC bits and concentrated on the Jack and Daniel bits. I want to watch again now with pro-Jonas goggles!

I will still probably skip over the Jack-getting-tortured bits. Yes, I did the same thing for Serpent's Venom and Talion. Urgh.

In the meantime, here's a question for discussion:

The monk told Bra'tac back in Maternal Instinct that he couldn't Ascend until he dumped his symbiote, with the inference that it was evil and thus blocking his Ascension. Of course, that was back in the day when Ascension was percieved as a "higher" plane of existence that one needed to be worthy to achieve, rather than just a question of brain activity. (Sorry to insult Stargate like this, but it's rather the way Lucas retconned the Force into midichlorians, with the obvious supposition that there was a thriving black market in Jedi blood transfusions.) Then we discover that Oma actually Ascended Laundry Pile Anubis once upon a time.

So: is there something about the Goa'uld/Tok'ra that makes them biologically incapable of Ascension? Is this Oma not wanting to risk another Anubis again, or just pique at being tricked once by a Goa'uld?

rydra_wong's powerful Walked Right Out of the Machinery touches upon this a bit, actually, but from a different angle. But do you think a Tok'ra or a reformed (or even non-reformed!) could Ascend, with or without the Oma booster?

...

That's where you're WRONG!

Oh, yeah. Must sit down and watch this one again. :)

I am such a sucker sometimes. Picked up that 4th egg. *sigh*

Okay, here, I'm not Chinese. I have little-to-no interest in...any far-east country. So when your cultural fail is evident even to me? It's a big cultural fail.

You suffer, dear Author, from a serious case of Did Not Do The Research, which came to an infuriating (read: I cannot finish this) head when you had your Chinese OFC, newly immigrated to the States from rural (Uhm, no) Shijiazhuang, Shanxi (Uhm, no), China...tell her OOC love interest that...she was named after her grandmother (Uhm, no). Now you insist on repeating this at every turn.

No. No, just...no. That's considered disrespectful.

Why this must be read: Honestly, it's a story about Puck in a dress. Remember how he said "I'm a stud, dude. I could wear a dress to school and people would think it's cool." Yeah:D It's funny and sad in parts and Kurt's great... and in some ways it has that same quality that the show has: it shows us a person who's having a really hard time in that humiliating way you can only experience in high school - and then it turns everything upsidedown. It's my feel good fic because of that - and because of Puck in a dress.

Dear X-men fanfiction writer,

( The failz. You haz it. )


Also, generally, some of the mutants appearing in this fandom just makes me wonder. A mutant that turns into different elemental mutants depending on if she touches different stones? Can anyone say Eevee? And the ones that have to say long strings of particular words to get their powers to work gives me the same kind of queasy feeling that the Sailor Senshi always do. And I swear to god I’ve seen at least one sparkly vampire.
I mean, I know that Marvel weren’t exactly particular about the abilities of the X-men, which have always ranged from the somewhat plausible to the down-right ridiculous, but instead of using this as an opportunity to come up with something uniquely yours, why are you copy-pasting abilities from everything from Pokémon to unicorns. Just my opinion, of course, and a lot of people DO make their characters work and be brilliant despite not-so-original powers, but sometimes I get the feeling that you’re just not trying…

This past weekend I was fighting a bit of congestion. That happens, occasionally, what with me being mildly allergic to Sami and everything. Usually it just goes on its merry little way, and that is that.

This weekend I had moments of incoherency coupled with tiredness, but enough baking and cooking to keep the sinuses clear for a bit so I thought I was ok.

Yesterday, came into work feeling a bit tired and congested, but that was it. By noon, as I sat shivering at my desk where the thermostat reads 26C/80F, I realised I was going to have to admit I was sick.

Went home. Climbed into flannel jammies and huddled on the couch with a Neo Citrin, a heavy blanket, 2 cats, and Rogers On Demand.

Bones doesn't suck as much as it did around the time they did that horrid thing that made me stop watching, and yet it wasn't as good as it had been initially.

Glee looks kind of cute, and I may have to see if I can find a way of seeing the first episodes snce RoD only has the latest 4.

Neo Citrin still throws me for a loop as big as the Can of Worms.

Did watch Big Bang Theory last night, probably thanks to copious napping throughout the evening. It was good. Penny's bit at the end was priceless. *grin*

This morning I felt ok... well, still congested, but at least not fevery. I was fine until I got to the office and tried thinking. Apparently I'm still working through a mass of cotton wool someone has stuffed into my brain. So as long as things stay simple today, I should be ok. I hope.

Thank you to the kind person who sent me a snowflake!

Very appropriate at the moment, because it's bloody cold and they've forecast snow up in the mountains. In December!

::Hugs::

Why this must be read: I adore stories that take place before the series premiere, particularly those that deal with the Nick and Natalie dynamic. In this story, author Kathy Whelton peels back the layers to Nick and Natalie's "rocky" first encounters and explores the characters' insecurities and hopes. We are treated to a Nick who wields the persona of a cold, emotionless vampire to protect himself from false promises and a Natalie who tries to balance her desire to rise up to a scientific challenge with her inherent curiosity. The story setup is simple but it packs an emotional punch. Nick and Nat's very proper and detached early forays into finding a cure to Nick's vampirism get derailed by a medical emergency. Pre-series stories are all special and unique but this one stands out as wonderful introduction to the genre.

A Crack in the Wall by Kathy Whelton

Okay- I've now watched Supernatural up through 3x07 and I absolutely want to do filthy, depraved things to Dean Winchester.  No, wait, scratch that, I think I'd rather watch as some other equally hot guy does filthy, depraved things to Dean Winchester. 

::smiles innocently::

Does this make me a bad person?  >.<
