JIC: Oh, tomorrow's Saturday.  I won't turn on the alarm.  I'll sleep in, though probably not past 8:00
JIC's body: Try 5:47, missy!
JIC: But there's nothing I need to do that early!
JIC's body: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!  Go brush your teeth.

JIC: But first I have to catch up on my flist, which shouldn't take very - Oh look, I'm done.

jic: Just kill her!  Bwahahaha!  Fantasy!jic is ruthless.
butterfly: Did we not know this?

Every time I watch actors or characters with British (or others, but mostly British) accents, the next two words (or two minutes of words) out of my mouth have that accent.

So, two asexuals walk into a bar.  They pick up the hottest person in the room...

and then they fight over who won't have sex with him.

(I had a good weekend in Coos Bay)

We wish people would just stop complaining about complaining about this thing.  We haven't seen anyone actually complain about the thing, just people complaining about the people complaining.

Okay, so that's only funny to me.

"There are fics in the McShep fandom...." *headdesk* "The Atlantis fandom -- that I do like!" butterfly protested.

1) Tim Curry is an Immortal (of the Highlander variety).
2) He used to be king of the UK & Canada, and emperor of India.

see?

also, pictures not yet posted, but I'm planning to build a pretty page and linking y'all to it.

Son3 just announced that his twin brother is trying to kill him.
His evil twin.

His evil twin Skippy.

Is this only funny to people in the XF fandom?

from Pain and Angst by Eos

"What?" Daniel exclaimed. He stared at Jack, who hung limply in the hands of the Jaffa. Jack, who, it turned out, was not wearing his BDUs as Daniel first thought. He was naked...and green.

"He's dead!"

"He is not dead," Apophis said.

"Is too! He's fucking putrid," Daniel said in horror. "He's...a former Jack. An ex-O'Neill. He's...yuck."

"He has not tolerated the questioning well, but I assure you--he stands before you alive."

"He's not standing," Daniel argued, starting to get a little pissed off. "The only reason he's upright is that you've got two Jaffa holding him there."

Apophis jerked his head sharply and one of the Jaffa released Jack.

"You've still got one Jaffa holding him," Daniel said, exasperated.

Apophis jerked his head again and the Jaffa tried to sneakily move one hand to Jack's jaw and flap it open and closed.

"For crying out loud."

Daniel's eyes bugged out as Jack's jaw fell off.

"See-- You heard him speak yourself," Apophis said to Daniel, ignoring the teeth bouncing across the floor.

"I saw your lips move!" Daniel shouted indignantly....

It seems the diet may need to be temporarily abandoned while I keep the milk from spoiling. Turns out it is not Sons1-3 who go through three gallons of milk in a week, it's me. That, or eating at school eliminates their desire to eat cereal at all hours of the day.

The good news is, there are brownies to go with the milk I must guzzle, and I'm not going to give up all the improvements to my diet (i.e., eliminating pure sugar from my drinks). Also, Splenda is on sale at Bi-Mart, and I'm still in the market for a bread machine -- preferably a 1-pound machine. kkinnick_blgspt is keeping an eye on the Goodwill bins for one for me, but if you know of one elsewhere that I could have for $10 or less, drop a note. I'm also seeking a simple food processor (S blade is all I'm sure I need, though a grater would also be nice -- do those go in the same machine?) in the same price range. And it wouldn't hurt me to have a new hard drive, 80 GB or better. I currently have 120 GB, but it randomly decides to park, spin up, park, spin up, then freeze.

In the meantime, Delta was 4 for a while. Today it appears to be 2. This afternoon I'm going to Costco, because I'm out of too many things that simply won't wait (cat food, soap), and I may stop by GNC as well to see if they have the ingredients I need to make nearly carb-free versions of my favorite things.

In other news, I saw Serenity for the third time last night with butterfly & D*, courtesy of D*. Yes, it was worth it. I'd say more, but I'd hate to spoil. Besides, butterfly is making all the insightful comments over at her journal, which I highly recommend if you've seen Serenity or if you don't care about spoilers. She's also cool like that about Star Wars, and makes extensive use of spoiler-hiding cut-tags, so if you want to read cool, thoughtful, interconnective stuff about the Republic Trilogy and the Empire Trilogy, give her a read.

In the previews was a trailer for Jarhead, a soldier movie taking place during Desert Storm. I remember seeing news-bits about that during Channel One while I was in high school. IMO, the first Bush outstrips W as a war president by orders of magnitude. I'm going to see this movie. OTOH, I am not going to see Doom, another trailer in the previews. There were other trailers, but they were unmemorable.

Hmmm. It may be that I now have a two brownie limit. I'm looking at the last one and having difficulty convincing my body that eating it is a good idea. Fortunately its response is less vigorous than its rejection of a third bite of pork sausage, but all the same, I think I'll pass. *sigh*

jic: Do you want the last brownie?
butterfly: Do I want the last brownie?
jic: I asked you first.

Today, I may or may not run downtown to see Fr. John's Eldest, because I also need to visit Costco and help jg_taz_or move. kunzite1 is helping, too. Oh! Since I'm reverting to my previous diet today, I get to have pizza! Hmm. Maybe not such a good idea. We'll see how I feel later. I should perhaps boil some eggs, just in case.

I should quit typing now.

So.

The back of my computer stool abuts my bed. On this bed, Methos likes to lie -- often behind my shoulder.

All I did was LOOK AT HIM, and he started purring.

Pity parties don't have good enough dance music.

butterfly: He slaughtered them all, you know. Not just the men, but the women and children.
jic: YOU'RE TRYING TO SEDUCE ME WITH BLOODSHED!
butterfly: Is it working?

butterfly: For every aphorism, there's an equal and opposite one. Like "Out of sight; out of mind" and "Absence makes the heart grow fonder." Or "Many hands make light work" and "Too many cooks spoil the broth."
jic: It's the Law of Conservation of Platitudes!

( Speaking of Conservation Laws )

jic: I'm home!
butterfly: Yo?
jic: Yo!
butterfly: Yo.

butterfly: disturbed "jic, why is there a tape labeled 'Raw Puppies'?"

butterfly: "Particular brand of ..." I like the word brand.
jic: Me, too, but mostly when it's hot and applied to someone's flesh.
butterfly: Yes, you're cute.
