So this morning Mr. Foxx is driving me to work and I start telling him about this idea I have for an SGA fic. I didn't tell him it's for a fic; rather, I asked him what he thought of the idea of there being some sort of correlation between the Ancient gene and Atlantis in terms of trauma and stress concerning a loved one, i.e. you're traumatized over the possible loss of someone you love, and in response the city triggers something biologically within you that helps keep you more connected to the person.

Mr. Foxx: That makes no sense. You couldn't build a whole episode around that.
Me: Oh, but whales communicating through holograms to tell everyone the sun's going to explode is FULL of logic.
Mr. Foxx: They explained that.
Me: Whatever, it could be a subplot.
Mr. Foxx: I guess, but who cares?
Me: Uh, what if it's meant for romantic purposes?
Mr. Foxx: You're not going to have dudes fucking on the show.
Me: Duh, that's why I write fic.
Mr. Foxx: ...Fine, then. It's a wonderful idea.

LOLZ.

P.S. On a slightly different note, THIS had me making embarrassing noises of fangirl glee just now. PLEASE TELL ME SVU WON'T SUCK TONIGHT, THX.

It never ceases to amaze me how you have someone in your life with whom you can communicate such fangurly obsessiveness.

In other news, I AM LOSING SLEEP because I am so thoroughly wrapped up in The Golden Compass than I kinda love hate you right now.

If you're a good little girl, I'll try to find time this weekend to photograph that huge New Line promo thingy I got in work. It shows you a gigantic close-up of the Alethiometer which is really quite cool.

Also? When Lyra found Tony what's-his-name all alone in that little town and holding the frozen fish instead of his daemon Ratter? *WEEPS* I love hate you.

Well, it helps that he's a big of a geek, if not bigger, than me. It's both a blessing and a curse.

*squees*

AHA I TOLD YOU. Wait til you get to the last book, you'll die.

*squees again*

Have you seen the one with just Lyra and Iorek Byrnison?! It's AWESOME.

This will keep me occupied until Harry Potter comes out and J.K Rowling fulfills my every desire and fantasy and KILLS EVERYONE. Hee.

AHA I TOLD YOU. Wait til you get to the last book, you'll die.

SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Ack. I CANNOT BE SPOILED in any form or fashion with these books, because they are magnificent, and if I could stay awake for days straight I would sit here and read them all. I'm almost finished with The Golden Compass, and I'm loving it.

I should have time this weekend to take photos. It's a nice promo piece. And I haven't been to the website yet to see what kind of daemon I should have, like that meme everyone has been doing where you can plug in your personality and your daemon pops out. With my luck it's a blob of goo.

I AM SO GLAD YOU'RE READING!

And I'm taking full credit, since I harassed foxxcub into it.

Smug bastard.

She says, with the co-opted icon!

You may take full credit. See, I think British authors just have something else in their style, or way of thinking -- similar to the way British humor ('scuse me, humour) has always been superior to American comedy -- that makes these types of books just beyond wonderful.

It also amazes me that the writing style is so simplistic, yet is amazingly descriptive. It's written for kids, but like Harry Potter, it's more thoroughly comprehended by adults. I'm almost finished with the first book, and when Lyra first discovers what happened to poor little Tony Makrios' daemon, IT KILLED ME. Gah. I was on the bus reading it with tears streaming down my cheeks because the way he explained it made it...I dunno, so real, I guess.

Please continue in future harrassment. We did get her watching BSG, and perhaps we can get her sit still long enough to see Rome, and then TV life would be complete.

That's what still bowls me over, especially when re-reading. I have no idea how he does it, but it's captivating/amazing. I'm really curious to see how you'll react to the second and third books - I mean, what he does in "children's books" is just...yeah. (I'm bad with words, ask foxxcub.)

WE SHALL TAG-TEAM HER AND EVENTUALLY SHE MAY COME 'ROUND.

THERE'S NO COMING AROUND. I'm merely waiting for the day we're, like, rich and can afford the frakking DVDs. :P

[gobsmackit.livejournal.com]

This time last year, "frak" wasn't in your vocabulary.

So, I finished the first book last night, and all I can say is:

ROOOOGGGGGGEEEERRRRRR!!! NOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooooooooooo!!!! Although -- I get more upset when the daemons are hurt than the kids! Is that wrong? I'm a sucker for animals.

Man, he kills off people easy in his books, doesn't he? No J.K. Rowling this one.

I was also sort of surprised that Lord Asriel was actually doing something really bad and that he's kinda a nutter. If he's setting out to end Death itself, then he's already fighting a losing battle.

I started the second book this morning in the 10 minutes I had to wait for my bus!

It's amazing to me that you can talk to your husband about things like that and not only does he not get uncomfortable, he sorta helps you out too. That's pretty adorable. Man, I wanna find a guy like Mr. Foxx.

PS: Damn, he is wearing that suit.

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

This isn't to say he doesn't mock my slashy ways, LOL, but yeah. It's kind of nice. :)

Meloni + suit = OTP

*SQUEESQUEESQUEE*

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

*tackles you in hug*

DUDE, SERIOUSLY. I've missed you so, and yeah, my SGA love has slowly but surely evolved into craziness!

[lillyjk.livejournal.com]

heh! No one can resist the David Hewlett hot yet dorky portrayal of Meredith Rodney McKay!

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

THE RAPPING! HAVE YOU SEEN THE RAPPING?! ♥

[lillyjk.livejournal.com]

I KNOW!scifijunkie linked me yesterday. I swear, I think I'm a little make that totally in love with DH!

Mr. Foxx: You're not going to have dudes fucking on the show.
Me: Duh, that's why I write fic.
Mr. Foxx: ...Fine, then. It's a wonderful idea.

BWAH! I love it! XoD

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

We are married nerds!

[gobsmackit.livejournal.com]

I love you/your brain/your husband.

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

I would say all three love you in return, but Justin doesn't know you, so. >.>

[gobsmackit.livejournal.com]

Boo.

[foxxcub.livejournal.com]

BUT I'M SURE HE'D LOVE YOU IF HE DID!
