Do I really need DVDs for a show I now refuse to watch?

Does anyone want the DVDs for seasons 1-4 (might have 5 somewhere, have to look) of Stargate SG-1? I figure everyone has 'em by now, but if you need higher quality for vidding or something. They're the large packs, and were $50 when I got them, but I'd be willing to sell them for $30. (eta: i mean $30 per season. sorry for any confusion.)

*tilts head* I'm not even in any of the proper comms for this any more, so if anyone actually reads this and wants to forward, that's cool. I have paypal, and am willing to take personal checks, if someone will vouch for your solvency.


*grudgingly returns to packing*

So I have finished the last of the five fics for kink_bingo. I figure I'll post them to AOOO to avoid cluttering the flist, especially since I'm crossposting everything ATM. It allows for comment threading, so that should be fine (one of the things I've always disliked about archives is that it usually doesn't allow for a way to respond to comments).

Anyone want to do a quick beta for these? They're all short, 2K or under. And not my usual anal level of detail, I just want someone to look these over and tell me if my grammar/construction isn't working, or you can't tell what the hell's going on, etc. I have no confidence when it comes to sex scenes, especially because I tend to use all of the same phrasing over and over. And I ramble, and end up glossing over important things.

Then it's on to seeing if I can get a second single-line bingo out of this card, or if I should look at the postage stamps or the double-line. I have several ideas for a double-line, but not enough for the whole line.

DEAR THE INTERNETS: SOMEBODY WRITE ME THE FIC 'FIVE TIMES JACK HARKNESS WAS A REALLY CRAP KISSER.' (OR 'WAS SHIT IN BED' OR 'COULDN'T GET IT UP TO SAVE HIS LIFE (NOT LITERALLY)')

THANK YOU GOOD NIGHT.

Now is the time where we talk about other things.

Though really, some of this I've been meaning to talk about for a while, but too many other things were happening to allow that. And I still have to do that meme, once things slow down a little more.

-Dreamed last night something that was originally me interning at a theatre and having to put roses in a jar (but they weren't roses, they were eggs), and then it turned out that that kid who plays Merlin was there, and we were all sleeping on the floor, and then my mom and I had to go pick up my sister from the airport (she was flying in from somewhere with a fake Welsh-sounding name, obviously she was coming in from England) and instead we somehow picked up JB and GDL, who were on their way to a con? I told them it was okay to come with us, because we already had the Merlin dude (the name Colin Morgan was floating in my head during the dream, but I can't remember if I was associating that name with the correct actor). And I don't remember what happened after that 'til some time near the end where there was live-action Sailor Moon soft-core. But it's okay, everyone was wearing power rangers helmets.

Hi, my brain is on crack. Why can't I have fun dreams?

-Have now finished 3.5 stories for kink_bingo. Just need to get some betas. They really just need a skim, since they're mostly PWPs, but I am neurotic about at least having someone else look through them. I need to finish the Andy/Owen, and need to come up with something for the double penetration.

-Work is going to be slow this month (only a handful of theatre dates, and library work. Though one of the researchers at DO is someone I know from WashU, and she's hiring me to do a couple hours of photocopying on the side. Yay $50.) but slowness is okay, since I'm going to take the time off to pack up the apartment. I figure I'll be moving the first week of August. Like, the 3-5. It's either that or the (8th if I don't have work) 10-12th. Obviously I need to ask S & E about this, and I'll be making a separate planning post, but so people who might be available to help can block out the dates now. And I have to rent a u-haul, since I don't know anyone with a truck.

-Though (and yeah, this is buried so I'll probably post this again too) does anyone have access to a discount code for Greyhound? I need to buy a bus ticket to GA for Dragon*Con (bought that ticket!) and I'd like to save some money if anyone happens to have a code and isn't using it. I know a couple locals are going, but I'm betting no one's driving. Because I'd happily hitch and pay for gas instead (can't drive, sorry).

-You know what I suddenly want? A Torchwood/Hard Core Logo crossover. Don't question my brain.

-Right, that's all I've got. Time to try and write porn again.

And, uh, eventually go get groceries.

YOU GUYS WE JUST WATCHED PAPA DON'T PREACH EVERYTHING IS OKAY NOW. LOOK LOOK JACK HAS A BABY AND EVERYTHING IS SPARKLY.

( day five means we're done now, right? )

and hell, i'm wondering if barrowman's going to be on who at all.

Huh. Looks like TW/Who production team only has one type of small scar pattern. That inverted Y. It's angled a bit differently than usual on Ianto's face, but it's the damn same. Again.

( day two, eyes of blue, five transistors any shoe )

next time: jack steals another convertible. oh jack. is this because everyone saw your penis?

JACK WHERE DID YOU FIND MORE PERIOD MILITARY WEAR?

yes! rhys is naked again next episode!

I really seriously don't know how I'm going to manage to watch season 3. For a million reasons. But I listened to the radio plays. On a technical level, they were better than Lost Souls. The foley was much more even (though the kissing noises were a bit ... overly loud sometimes?), though they still need to figure out how to indicate voiceovers in an audio-only format.

( The Dead Line )

Last year I posted the Declaration of Independence. This year, I'm going a bit later.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.

Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation, so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate...we can not consecrate...we can not hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us—that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion—that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain—that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom—and that government: of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.


Most people just know the beginning and the end of this one. Pity the middle's the important part.
