Walking back from Marks & Spencer (I know, I know, but I am lazy and their prepared meals are good) I saw a couple of window-dressers deep in (to me) silent, pantomime conversation. One of them was gesturing emphatically with a severed mannequin arm. She actually tapped her companion with it, on the shoulder, like she was knighting him. I never get to knight people with severed mannequin arms. *pouts*

Also, I seem to be writing Rodney/Teyla fic. I blame it on [livejournal.com profile] monanotlisa's icon. Just, if I start writing sentences about "dusky nipples" or "tawny thighs"*--shoot me? Please?

Oh, who am I kidding? I'm totally having fun with it. It's completely improbable, which is why it's so awesome. And it's reminding me why I miss the Jossverse, because while the Stargate people seem (from what I've seen/heard/randomly gleaned) rather conservative with their couplings, Buffy would have totally gone there. It would have gone anywhere. Well, shy of full-out boy-lovin', but still. Happy times.

ETA: And speaking of fic, for those who might have missed it, I (semi-)recently posted a couple of stories over at [livejournal.com profile] sga_flashfic.

For the Buildings and Food Challenge: Coming Soon to a Galaxy Near You!

For the Debriefing Challenge: Magic Marker

Both McKay/Sheppard, both varying degrees of silly. Because this fandom is crack.



*Much to my shame, this is a phrase I actually use in The Novel. Twice, even, I think. There might also be a mention of "milky thighs" in there somewhere. Not in reference to the same character, though--I'm clichéd, not inconsistent.

Two days ago, I ran into Joss Whedon (almost quite literally) at the Whole Foods in Brentwood. This makes twice that I've seen him and utterly failed to have the courage to say anything.

Yesterday, I met [livejournal.com profile] mciac for lunch and shopping, and with some borrowed courage, applied for a job at Barnes & Noble. I really, really want this job. Light a candle, say a prayer, do a voodoo ritual for me...

Capped off the day by going to see Howl's Moving Castle at the El Capitan. (Yes, I know: "el" means "the." But that's the name of the theater! Saying otherwise would be weird.) It was terrific. I think I liked Spirited Away more, perhaps because the mythos was more exotic to me, but Miyazaki + Diana Wynne Jones? Fab combination.

And why has it been so long since I've read any Diana Wynne Jones? Not to mention: E. Nesbit or Edward Eager. I miss my childhood!

Though not so much that the dream I had last night in which I had to move back into my childhood home didn't totally freak me out...
