Apparently I was nominated for D/R awards? I am still *headscratching* over that in and of itself, and I've always been a little o.O? on fanawards, but. I appreciate it all the same and want to give big big hugs to whoever did that! ...and then I'mma slap you. ...with love. *shifty eyes*

So, requisite attention!catching banner:



...that I may or may not have stared at for a LITTLE too long because NGH. RIVER. YOUR FACE. HOW DO YOU PERFECT.

Also I need to stop watching this video:



It's getting embarrassing, really. KATY PERRY, SELF? REALLY? FOR SHAME.

But on the plus side, my brilliant friend K FOUND THE LOVESTORY VID OMG. I thought it was gone from youtube forever!! BUT SHE HATH FOUND IT AND GUESS WHAT? IT IS STILL GLORIOUS. If you watch/ed SGA, you HAVE to see this. It cracks me up every damn time, omg. (tenacious_err can attest to that.)

Because what this journal lacks is obviously more SGA spam...

- Europeans! Torri Higginson will be at SFBall in the UK! You lucky whores. :P http://www.sfbevents.com/sfball/

- Also, if you're on twitter and a Torri fan, check out higginsoninfo. We pimp it. Oh yeah.

- Had the best time last night watching SGA with snapplesons! We got a chance to catch up and talk before diving into The Rising I & II, and it was fabulous! (Both the talking and the watchage!) I totally forgot how funny/lame/awesome that episode is. All the fabulous dorky lines! "John Sheppard does it naturally." / "How come I never make friends like that?" "You need to get out more." "We're in another galaxy; how much more 'out' can you get?" "Does this have lemon in it?" / "This isn't a long flight, so I'll be as succinct as possible." [silence] "That was pretty succinct." "Thank you." / "We come from a galaxy far, far away." / "Now I'm thinking about a nice turkey sandwich." [nothing] "Worth a try." AND THE BALCONY SCENE. "You do realize that could get us into all sorts of trouble, right?" ♥

And, because snappleons is AWESOME, she immediately noticed the eyesexings (from episode one! just like Mulder and Scully*) and how adorable Lizabeth is whenever anyone mentions the Ancients. AND, even better, instantly made the comparison of Wraith --> Humans as Humans --> Animals. Ollie, I do not think it is humanly possible for me to adore you any more than I already do. ILY. ♥

*Oh, I forgot to tell you! I watched Fight the Future a few weeks ago with my friend who was visiting. And she did not understand the epicness of the "Mulder!" "Scuuuullaaay!!" cornfield scene. And it was very sad. And I wish you would have been there to help me explain how fabulously hilarious and awesome it is.

- I need to go shower soon, 'cause M and I are going shopping (this should be interesting) but. First a Torri!spam for snapplesons! None of these videos (or fics) have spoilers in them. As we progress, I'll keep spamming you with more stuff. (If you don't want to be spoiled about the series, I'd stay away from youtube, because a lot of fanvids and interviews and stuff give things away.)

Acting
→ adorable 10 minute film. includes toilet brushes.

( more. lots more. i may have gone overboard. can you blame me? *g* )

BONUS: The Flan and His Hair



And here are some fics, if you're interested! I will try to keep updating (if you want) as we keep watching. SGA people, if you know of any other fics that are non-spoilerly, please link! :D

John/Elizabeth Fics

Edit:
→ 14 Shallow Reasons to Love John Sheppard :D


OH. And if any vid people want to make a John/Elizabeth vid to this song, that would be awesome. Mildly cliche, yes. But also awesome.

Longer entry potentially forthcoming. For now:

→ Happy Birthday to cryptictac! I hope you had/have (time difference suck) an amazing day full of all the love and kindness you deserve! (And stuff, too!) ♥

→ And welcome to rillarilla! Feel free to ignore my crazy. Or join in! Either way. Or Ey-ther way. ;)

→ Fic: Maybe The Poets Were Right All Along : Stargate: Atlantis | Mike/Elizabeth, John/Elizabeth | Spoilers for The Real World 3x06 through Lifeline 4x02 as well as This Mortal Coil 4x10.

I was really unsatisfied with the way they handled the "let's randomly give Elizabeth a five-minute love interest in the form of some dude we've never seen before and then never mention him again" - plot point. Seriously, writers? Yet another dropped ball in SGA. Show of hands who's surprised? *sigh* Anyway. It annoyed me. So I fixed it. ...sorta.

Oh, excuse me - nine minute love interest. My bad.

(Rant on Stargate and their misogyny at a later date. *headdesk*)


→ Finished Battlestar: Galactica. DAMN YOU, SHOW. Damn you for being GOOD and HEARTBREAKING and OVER. [More on this later - now time for bed. or SGA watchage. Same thing.]

→ I have this quote stuck in my head: "You guys are like Butch and Sundance peering over the edge of a cliff to the boulder-filled rapids 300 feet below, thinking you better not jump 'cause there's a chance you might drown. The President has this disease and has been lying about it, and you guys are worried that the polling might make us look bad? It's the fall that's gonna kill ya."

Any psycho-analysis as to why?

To the sea, Sherman!
