Of MacGyver, emotional reactions, and plotbunnies

( I ran out of Mythbusters, and I needed another light, fun, full-attention-not-required show, so I grabbed a season of MacGyver. )

( But the thing is... (plotbunny alert!) )

( And another random bunny )

I am convinced that this is a brilliant original fic bunny.

So excited I cannot physically sit still.

Anybody who was annoyed by Dr. Horrible should read this (via metafandom).

Oh GOD. I am, in ten minutes, officially OFF to Comic-Con and I'm so excited I could throw up. Seriously, this is going to be epic. Even if it completely fails to live up to my expectations, even if it is far more hectic and crowded and unmanageable and chaotic than I've been led to be believe, it will still be one of my most awesome vacations. The only thing that could go wrong is a major introvert-panic attack from me, and I'm pretty sure I can hold that off till Sunday afternoon.

Oh GOD. *dances*

Reading Roundup

( World War Z, Max Brooks )

( His Majesty's Dragon, Naomi Novik )

And yes, before you ask, I do feel pretty weird knowing that the author is on my flist and may or may not see this. We have such a well-understood system of rules for reacting to and talking about fanfic, and such a totally different one for talking about and reacting to published fiction, and I would never talk about her fanfic in this tone, so the collision there is making me very nervous.

SG1 Fic: Timing

Timing
SG1 Jack/Daniel (and possibly Sam/Teal’c)
Rated G, 2400 words
AN: I owe wyomingnot a drabble. She prompted me with “Jack/Daniel, timing, temerity” (well, and Tupperware, but I couldn’t get any traction on that). This happened. It’s not a masterpiece, but I had fun (also, I fail at drabbling). Hope you enjoy.

( I want to tell them. It's time. )

Confidential to quarryquest: I would, but I haven't seen Morgan or Merlin yet! I'll have to owe you a raincheck.

Con journal day 1

Got my (dad's, actually) digital camera stolen because I was stupid enough to put it in checked baggage. Idiotic. I'm going to have to buy another for work purposes, which I can't afford right now, but mostly I am pissed because I'd been planning on taking SO MANY pictures this con.

It has become clear that this whole weekend is going to be an exercise in advanced line-standing. I guess it's good to get braced for that early. The crowds are intense, even on preview night. I wasn't prepared for the Exhibition Hall, given that I am a mostly panel-focused con-goer, so that took me totally by surprise. It probably does more to appeal to the "shiny!" instinct than anything I've ever seen- I find myself wandering around gaping, and I can just feel my attention span shrinking.

Met lily_shrike- *waves* -who is awesome and intense. Good dinner, good conversation, good hotel, yaay.
