There was a Stargate Atlantis marathon on Sci-Fi last week and I found myself repeatedly discussing John Sheppard's hair with [livejournal.com profile] serialkarma and I don't know what disturbs me more -- that this was a serious conversation (Is it real? Is it product? How does it *do* that? Is it sad? Is it more poufy or less?) or that I watched enough of the series to actually be able to initiate in such a conversation.

Those of you who've been around these parts for some time will know that while I am an avid reader of SGA, (and a sporadic hack writer thereof), the show and I have had a passing acquaintance, with me subsequently dismissing the entire matter.

And yet –- just one innocent, But does it really do that naturally? and all is lost. That hair is insidious. This is how governments are brought down

I was even going to write a five thing thingamaboby for SK, but I only had two ideas. And then she and [livejournal.com profile] issaro had to go and completely ruin my day by confessing they'd succumbed to that that other thing. I can't even type it.

I shall persevere damnit! Today is a happy day. I feel good. I feel so good that I can admit that when I went running this morning I was singing Footloose. Yeah, that Footloose. And it was GOOD. It was so good I had to share the entire album with you. I know you love me, that's how I do. What's life if you can't give to someone else?

I have to go think of something long and cracky to write now to console myself. Did I say no to the BSG/SGA story where the Galactica hits a wormhole and ends up in the Pegasus galaxy and Gaius and Rodney vie for the most egocentric scientist, and Lee fancies John, and Helo and Ronon go around looking hot and crossing their arms a lot, and Teyla and Starbuck spar and people put money on it?


ETA: I need music for this story I'm not writing

Johnny Cash doing 'I've Been Everywere'
Pulp 'Common People'

ETA Mark 2: I've reuploaded Footloose via SS.

I didn't mean you were actually supposed to get me something! It's a joke (I think it's from a movie):

L: I want it
H: What'll you give me for it?
L: Respect!
H: Oh, who needs that anyway?
L: So you're gonna write it anyway, right?
H: What do you want to see in it?

So -- what do you want to see in it? You and the Niflet gave me my best crack for the last BSG x-over, so I reckon I can't go wrong with feeding your needs.

It might be enough pretty to break the intertubes. Let's find out, shall we?

JF has been quoted as saying that he has nothing but cowlicks on the top of his head, and there's nothin' he can do about it except grow them out and hope that the weight of the longer hair pulls it down. NOTHING BUT COWLICKS is about where I lost it.

I wanted to kick off my Sunday shoes, but can't seem to download your file from Quickdump. It says it was downloaded 0 times, so maybe others are having the same trouble?

I thought there might be something wrong, but then I figured maybe people couldn't find their Sunday shoes. I've changed the link to SS. Let me know how that goes, okay?

I can see the BSG people all relieved and happy that they escaped from their evil, evil foes, only to be told that the Ori... and the Wraith... and now, the new, improved Replicators... are all gunning for the human race.

I bet the Replicators and the Cylons would have some good conversations with one another about their creators.

No, really, he is. He has a poster in his room and everything which we see in several episodes. I kid you not.

*covets*

Why aren't you writing this now, woman?!?!?!?!?!

Because i am compiling a soundtrack for it right now and try to figure out a title and how it should go. First things first. My goodness.

Might I suggest Mr. Roboto by Styx???

I've got a secret I've been hiding under my skin
My heart is human, my blood is boiling, my brain IBM


Does that not scream Replicator/Cylon to you?

MTV's Sweet Sixteen. Have you seen that by the way? Good lord.

Far, far too much than I care to admit. Stupid Sunday Afternoon marathons. And yesterday, to my horror, I realized that I had seen most of the episodes they were showing.

The ultimate horror would, of course, be some sort of SGA/Super Sweet 16 combination. I think about 1,000,000 of my brain cells just killed themselves in protest of that thought.

You can't recommend anything without an mp3 of said song. House rule.

Dalek Mice say, EVERYBODY WILL CUT FOOT LOOSE!

I got it! THANKS!

OMIGOD, Holding out for a Hero was on this soundtrack, as was Let's Hear It For the Boy, and Hurts So Good... several wonderfully bad vids came out of this soundtrack, a good half-dozen come to mind for Holding Out for a Hero alone!

Seriously, a thousand possible fan vids ran through my mind at the thought of 'Let's Hear it for the Boy'

You know that song that's playing as Ren's pulling up to school on his first day? What's it called? It's been bugging me forever, cause I really liked it, but couldn't remember who played it.

wait, do you really not believe me about the johnny cash thing? I have evidence!

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2006-09-25 09:04 pm (UTC)(link)
No, sweetie, I believe you. Remember I was watching the whatever and saw it. I even realised that John wears his black for the Man in Black and for the the lives that could have been, Each week we lose a hundred fine young men.

That's what one of the S2 DVD sets in the UK looked like, and I can't remember who, but someone made a little sticker of hair to put John right. *g*

somewhere, deep deep down, you are a John Sheppard fangirl.

If you need a cover for said soundtrack... well. You know. ;)

Alas, no, darlin'. It has been a loooooooong time since I've watched Footloose.

Hmm. I should check amazon.com then. They usually have track listings.

You do not know how happy this thread has made me. You really don't.
