I saw the Fire of Unknown Origin. So Psychic Wars is up for grabs . . .

I've got the DVD ripper software, now to find the editing software.

Art Crawl!!!

Didn't they use Psychic Wars (or a tiny piece of it) in one episode?

How to tell if you are a geek

You spend a few hours creating an Access database for all your saved SGA fics with fields for the various categories the fic falls under---and you enjoy the heck out of it.

I used a program I found that created a spreadsheet from my directories of stories, then I fiddled with the spreadsheet so I could import the data into Access, then I tweaked various columns, deciding on what I would want to search by.

I am a geek, the tag that never closes. Now I can say, "I want to read that fic where the team all get turned into wolves, what was the name of it again?" Now to see if I can create hyperlinks in Access to the files on my hard drive.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

I do like that one better than another one with a similar story line--of Ruby keeping Dean's body alive for the re-home. Bobby's really the gateway character for this scene. I think it has to be an outsider POV because there's no there there in Sam's head right now. I've seen a couple from the POV of the dad or the mom that were effective, but I think Bobby's the strongest way to get there.

And I love the last paragraph or so in this one.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

I am SO carving out time to read the last five or so chapters this week (I am behind in all my, umm, non-Dark Angel reading--DO NOT JUDGE ME!!!).

I'm in no position to judge, since I still haven't read Big Pink's latest.

Yeah, but you're not reading 100k epic hetronormative gender essentialist OOC crapfests with dubious spelling just for a questionable OTP fix. So, you know. Umm.

You probably have a real excuse, you know?

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Oh plei. I love you. I love you more when you can actually find good stories in all that dross.
