Somewhere East of Life

Doood. Series finale of Stargate Atlantis on January 9th.

Nooooooooo!!!

What the hell am I supposed to do with my Fridays now? *sniff*

Wait. When does Torchwood start up again, and who's gonna have 'em for download? *looks hopeful*

Who the hell asked for snow?!
We're getting snowed in over here. It's a bit late in the season for it, but I won't complain if there's school closures involved. Numfar, do the dance of Snow Day!!! Luckily the SaiMom and I had our bad weather early warning system kick in (migraines from hell) and thought to get all our shopping done before it hit.

On a side note for this, I'm amusing myself with watching the Weather Channel. There's this news guy reporting on the blizzard in North Dakota. He's out there in 10 below (F) weather saying such things as, "It's so cold here my eyes keep freezing shut!" They keep zooming in on his eyelashes waiting for them to stick.

Yes, weather people are nerds too. Apparently...

We has presents!!!
Yes folks, you heard right: I went Christmas shopping. Well, okay, food shopping too. But the Christmas shopping is done. The cards are filled out and ready to be mailed even. The presents, while not wrapped, are still all ready to go. Why yes, I am proud of myself. Why do you ask?

Behold, she writes!
In fandom news, I am writing a holiday story. You can thank lazuli_kat. It's for her annual Spander Christmas thingy, aptly titled Spander Illuminations. My day is on the 22nd (I think...). I'll post more as the day approaches.

This year's story for me involves actual research. So far the muses are working well with me. It'll be an interesting one. It's an idea I've been working on for ages. Should be interesting. There also might be graphic to go with it. We shall see.

Slashy Rec: Stargate Atlantis
Ah, and while I'm at it, I've got some interesting story recs for you. It's for the Stargate Atlantis fandom. I've been interested in the odd camaraderie between Todd the Wraith and Sheppard. As it turns out, there's some kink for it. Got a short list for you. Feel free to add to it:

• "Dancing With the Devil" by kiku65
• "Simple Truths I" and "Simple Truths II" by sylvanwitch

You know me. I love the bad guys. I root for them when I'm watching movies. The bad guy blows something up? I'm jumping up and down on the couch throwing popcorn like a football fan.

It's a thing.

I got an idea though. I was watching the most recent episode of SGA courtesy of the lovely janedavitt. I discovered something: I like Todd.



He's pretty cool, no? I'd love to see him slashed up with someone. He's got a big problem though: he tends to eat humans. Well, not literally. Well okay, literally. But there's no chowing down. Just, you know... sucking out of the life forces type of thing. Been wracking my brain trying to think of someone though. It's got to be someone you can't kill.

So, vampires. But they still age (side-effect of the whole sucking of the energy thing). So that leaves out Spike and Angel. They'd eventually turn into weird things with hooves like that big bad Faith killed, right? They get that way when they age a whole bunch.

It could be an immortal, but I haven't seen one of those movies or shows in forever. So, Methos is out.

It's got to be someone that can age without side effects, can't be killed off all that easily, and that can regenerate themselves. Who does that leave?



Wolverine.

It's my new OTP. There should be an icon or something. Someone's got to write this. Todd needs love just like everyone else, right? He should so get hooked up with Wolverine. It could soooo work!
