Bright Spots

 The week was kind of rough and tiring, but there were a few bright spots, courtesy of my fannish flist.

First:  sheafrotherdon linked to a Baseball SGA AU!!  Which I started asking the universe for about 2 years ago, and in fact have written a few scenes in desperation.  This one, written in the mcshep match by the Away Team is fun and sweet, and has some excellently detailed descriptions of the mechanics of pitching and hitting that lend real credibility to the story.  I'm not sure the characterizations are as good as they could be, and the sex takes place off screen, but it's still worth the read.  As a bonus, in the comments, we get this link to a rec list of baseball-themed SGA!

Next (in the order I experienced these):  crysothemis wrote SGA!!  Of course, she's written it before, but lately, she spends most of her creativity on absolutely gorgeous stuff like this:  John vs. The Jabberwocky.  I'm so thrilled she put *words* to paper this time.  It's got all the classic tropes:  Oblivious!Rodney, Repressed!John, BAD SEX!  Plus, it really delivers the kissing AND the pr0n.  It is made of ginormous WIN.  Go! READ!  Do Over by crysothemis

Third:  cesperanza posted Anti-climax on her lj, late at night, so I woke up to this the first thing Wed morning!  It is teh awesome, as usual, with a teeny side of "team-fic" and some more Bad!sex.  "I'll try not to break anything"  is the best line EVAR.  So perfectly in character.  Oh, boys! 

Finally:  cesperanza re-linked her SGA vid, DNA which I know the music-loving scientists on my flist will grok, so I'm just passing on the good karma (you don't have to know the show to enjoy this).

Fans FTW!!! \o/

Day in History Meme

 gakked from cesperanza who continues to be made of win, and who has excellent timing:

July 4, 2007: My last Wiscon 31 post, wherein I burbled on about the Sunday night parties and all teh smart people I met there.

July 4, 2006:  No post on the day, but two on July 2nd, both (no surprise) about food:  Ah Dixie, we hardly knew thee and As Easy as Breathing

July 4, 2005:  My very first posts ever!  Yes, 3 years ago today, I joined LJ.  The first was a trial balloon and the second was a bit of an intro.  Many thanks and props again to texasbek and kitnish for prodding me into starting this journal.  It's the most successful (read, long-lived) journal I've ever had.
