I wonder when the point will come that I cannot watch Rising ever ever again. For [livejournal.com profile] legoline it's almost an injoke. She says noone's seen it more than me! Not that it matters much. But Monday night, I decided that rewatching Stargate Atlantis Season One is a really good idea and I plopped in the DVD into my laptop.

I lovelovelove this pilot so much! It's when I fell for John and to a degree, Rodney. It's when I decided that Stargate might not be that crappy after all. It was almost like coming home to an old lover. And it had Jinto and Stackhouse (what happened to that guy, mmm) and Craig and the chair and well..I just love the whole thing to bits.

That said, I was veeery sorta fannish this weekend and made a ToDo list for all my challenges and prompts and stuff. I'm participating in

Also, I read some wonderful fic and got some recs for you to take a look at.

  • First is a John and Ronon music vid called Red Sun, which is really the best music video I've seen in a long time. It's simply, not many effects in it, no boombast, but it's realyl awesomely cut and the scenes were well chosen and I love the music a lot. I don't want to say more because I think it might give to much away.
  • The Mona Lisa Box is a Sarah Connor Chroniclas/Stargate Atlantis, McShep crossover which merges the two universes and has great characterization.
  • a ficlet with cuteness overload and icecream!
  • Books are hot: The John Sheppard Book Club
  • Sleepless, which is Sleepless in Seattle Atlantis style with Great phone conversation and characterization.

Also, [livejournal.com profile] sophie0 as completely hooked me on Rome. God Rome, I feel like pulling out my hostory books. If you haven't seen it, it's really good and even though you know what is going to happen, it's really suspenseful. And it's got Mark Antony and Pullo. *grins*

We also watched Juno in the cinema ysterday and that was such a great movie. Go watch it if you can :)

I'm also doing a Sarah Connor Chronicles Lims community. If anyone has pointers or ideas for that I'd be most happy.

But I still like The Rising too! Even if I've given up on SGA :D
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on March 26th, 2008 10:24 am (UTC)
Never give up on SGA!!!! *hugzshowclose*

BTW... the evening we are not doing West Wing, you want to continue watching Dead Like me? Maybe Saturday or friday or something?

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on March 26th, 2008 10:53 am (UTC)
YAYZ!!!!!! Will you come to my place? We could order pizza or something. Or cook. *g*
One Evil Muffin[identity profile] legoline.livejournal.com on March 26th, 2008 10:56 am (UTC)
I can do that :D

I dunno if I'll have dinner with my brother but if we order pizza I can always order a salad ;-)
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on March 26th, 2008 11:02 am (UTC)

One Evil Muffin[identity profile] legoline.livejournal.com on March 26th, 2008 11:23 am (UTC)
Ice cream! \0/
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on March 26th, 2008 07:34 pm (UTC)
at least two different variations :)
[identity profile] mcalex22.livejournal.com on March 26th, 2008 10:24 am (UTC)
Whee - sounds like you have a full plate! I can't icon/make impressive graphics or write so I can never participate in any challenges!

I loved Juno when I saw it... I adored the kids and the actors. So much love for the quirky humour :)

Good luck with everything!
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on March 26th, 2008 10:32 am (UTC)
Yeah, I have a few things more even I cannot mention yet, sort of. I don't even know if I can ;) My main problem is lack of ideas right now. Once the idea is there, it will go rather well.

And you can make graphics quite well. You coul participate. It makes you practise too :)

And yes, I loved all the actors and characters simply bcause they weren't cardboard or ovely cliche.

:)

Rome is awesome! Reminds me that I still need to watch the second season. I'm quite sure that was on my to do list, but I somehow forgot. ^^° And the John/Ronon vid is so...yes. \o/
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on March 26th, 2008 11:01 am (UTC)
I'm still in the first season, but we got Sophie the second for birthday so that will follow shortly. I'm so addicted to this show, I cannot stop watching!! So so very good. *sigh*

I want an AU were the Roman empire didn't crumble and see how it affects the Stargate Universe.

And thank you for that rec again! The synchronicity and quick cutting it so awesome. I watched it a lot already *g*

Ah, the power of teh Hair!!! *giggles* I saw this wonderful hairicon yesterday. I must find it again, because I have no idea where I saw it. Such good hair.

And you also had a break time? I figured I should be more social. And went to a fitness studio..and manhuting with a friend. Manhunting is boring!!!!

NCIS, he? Tony!!!!!!! And abby!!!!
[identity profile] subtle--sarcasm.livejournal.com on March 26th, 2008 12:14 pm (UTC)
Junooooooooo. :) I really love the movie. As I said already on sophie's post, I think it was somewhat overhyped, but I still really love it and everyone in it was amazing. <3
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on March 28th, 2008 12:46 pm (UTC)
I saw nothing of the hype. Just saw the trailer which I thought was cute except for some small cutting thing which was so redundant.

And yeah, I loved that that characters were sort of normal and not too ovr the top.
trobadora: Desert Sheppard by sgflutegirl[personal profile] trobadora on March 26th, 2008 04:08 pm (UTC)
Wow, you're really busy! But you sound like you're having fun. :-)

And I love Rising too! It's great fun to watch and rewatch, especially when we've had new canon and you can see how far the characters have come but how it all still fits together.
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on March 30th, 2008 01:59 pm (UTC)
Yeah, let's just hope I manage to keep up *phew*

And right now I'm at childhoods end Karis is mooning over Sheppard. I keep forgetting how much I love this season!!!
trobadora: gate ship by i_am_a_cylon[personal profile] trobadora on March 30th, 2008 02:17 pm (UTC)
Oooh, Childhood's End! :D Remember back when everyone kept writing Sheppard as suicidal (or so it seemed)? I always wanted to slap them around the face with Childhood's end and "it'd have to be really necessary". I loved that, and Sheppard's development over the first season, because by the end of the season he does arrive at a point where it's "really necessary". *loves*
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on March 30th, 2008 04:04 pm (UTC)
Yeah? I missed tha part of fanfom because I started watching when season 2 aired, I think around Trinity.

I think it stems from the "He's fucked up" thing people have that you could partially see sometimes but it just doesn't make sense if you take in all of canon.

And I agree.
trobadora[personal profile] trobadora on March 30th, 2008 05:32 pm (UTC)
A lot of weird things went on in this fandom when it exploded - which was not so long before you joined. 2005 was a weird year that way. Suddenly everyone was into SGA! *g*

And yes on the not making sense if you don't just pick out isolated bits.
[identity profile] shadowserenity.livejournal.com on March 26th, 2008 10:02 pm (UTC)
Oooh. SCC LIMS. Now that would catch my interest :D.
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on March 30th, 2008 01:55 pm (UTC)
Wheee!!! Could I steal some ideas from lantis_lims?
[identity profile] shadowserenity.livejournal.com on March 30th, 2008 01:58 pm (UTC)
Sure, by all means! :)

I'd also like to offer lantis as a sister community (like I've done with the mod from [livejournal.com profile] likethegun_lims).
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on March 30th, 2008 02:02 pm (UTC)
Sure thing!!! I've been thinking about the likethegun com. Is the sign up already over?
[identity profile] shadowserenity.livejournal.com on March 30th, 2008 02:36 pm (UTC)
Oh, I think sign-ups are still open until voting for CH1 is up :).
[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com on March 30th, 2008 03:51 pm (UTC)
Cool! I need to figure out if I have enough time!!
One Evil Muffin[identity profile] legoline.livejournal.com on March 28th, 2008 02:56 pm (UTC)
Elli? Steht das mit heute noch oder nicht? O_O
