Mischief Managed

Today:

- I have no hot water at all. A guy came to 'fix' the heater on Thursday and it worked for a bit and now it's even more broken.
- I have cooked chilli and then dropped half of it onto the oven door. It's one of those ones that opens downwards so there was just a big pile of chilli on there. And in the crack where the door opens. And on the floor. And when I finally finished cleaning it, using teaspoons to get kidney beans out of the crack (and then just my fingers), I shut the door and could see mince and kidney beans inside the door through the glass. Balls. I really didn't feel like eating what was left after that so it's dinner for tomorrow.
- I had a really stupid and pointless day at work.
- I watched the last episode of Atlantis. D:

I think I'm just going to hide in bed with a book and hope that my hair can go another day without washing because I really can't be bothered to a) wash my hair with cold water, or b) go through the rigmarole of filling the bath up with kettles of water.

Oh poo. :(:(:(:(:(:(:(:(

A very serious post concerning SGA episode 4x05 Travellers: "Woe" - by Emo!Wraith Mike. Thanks to sheafrotherdon for bringing this to us. It needed to be shared.

( Spoilers for SGA 3x18 or 3x14 or whatever the hell the number is - 'Sunday' )

I'm almost all caught up with my TV now. I've got two episodes of Lost to watch, two BSG, the latest SGA and the latest Heroes (which I'm really enjoying by the way!).

David Nykl has been confirmed as an extra guest at Peg 2! Hurrah! That's made me pretty happy! I can't believe it's only a week and a half away actually. It's nearly a year since we booked the tickets!

ETA: There was actually snow on the ground this morning! I think it must be winter finally!

I watched McKay and Mrs Miller earlier. ( spoilers )

Now I have to go and wrap up my dad's birthday present because it's his birthday tomorrow and I forgot until yesterday (because I suck) and had to dash off and buy something after work today.

Link nicked from coppala: Snakes On A Plane On Toast! Heh. It amused me anyway. I'm just sad that they won't ship to outside the US.

This weeks SGA? ( Progeny )

ETA: This is my 888th post! Next Monday is my three year LJ anniversary. Wow. I can't believe that I've been around here so long!

So I made it back from Iceland in one piece! I got back yesterday afternoon and have spent a large proportion of today sleeping (I didn't get to bed terribly early last night due to having to watch two episodes of Atlantis as quickly as possible ;)). I had a great week and thankfully seem to have missed the evil heatwave here last week. I'll post some pictures at some point but right now I have to go and do yet another load of washing and try to make sense of the rest of the contents of my rucksack!

I saw some puffins, some volcanoes (I went up one which was still warm at the top!), some geysers (including the one from which the word 'geyser' comes from), rode some Icelandic horses and went in an outdoor geothermal spa! The weather was great and one morning it was actually warm enough to walk around in a t-shirt. 17 degrees C is a heatwave by Icelandic standards!

Back to work tomorrow... :(

There's someone who works on the second floor here who looks just like Dr. Kavanagh - he's got the pony tail, the glasses and the tie. It's actually quite disturbing.

I try very hard to stay away from spoilers but I've been lured in by the new SGA promo pics from the first three episodes of season 3. I'm especially excited by the episode 3 ones. Awesomeness. I can't wait to see that episode!

niannah (<3) has sent me the first half of Supernatural season 1, so that will keep me entertained for a while. I don't really know what to expect from it to be honest, but lots of you guys enjoy it so I think it's worth giving it a go. I think I might get a bit frightened! I'm such a wuss.

My throat feels decidedly dodgy again tonight - on the other side than it did last week. I'm going to be most upset if I wake up tomorrow with another monster sore throat so I really hope it goes away over night. *crosses fingers*

Fingers crossed, the internet seems to have fixed itself (I know that the moment I post this, my connection is going to disappear on me!).

I'm now going to post a link to that SGA fic that everyone and their mothers has recced already: Freedom's Just Another Word For Nothing Left To Lose by synecdochic. Seriously people, if you've even the slightest interest in Atlantis (and even if you don't - I've never seen so many people comment on a fic who've never seen the source) you won't regret taking a look at this. It's Rodney post-Atlantis mission and it's one of the best pieces of fan writing I've ever read.

And now for something completely different: here's a link to a crossover fic - Atlantis/Father Ted. So very wrong and yet so right. Major Ted by trinityofone.

“Doctor Weir, I can explain!” he said. “The ZPM--it was just resting in my pack until I could transfer it to the other temple! Really, I--”

Ahahahaha! That will never stop being funny.

I'm feeling much love for fandom and all the fabulously creative people in it at the moment.
