smirk + bowtie = WIN

CHECK OUT MY NEW ICON.

Julian Lodge. ♥
Yes, a Joe Flanigan character. From First Monday, which only ran a season and wasn't terribly good -- it wasn't terrible, either, but it just wasn't as engaging or exciting as JAG or NCIS, the two other shows in the same continuity.

But I lovelovelove Julian. ♥ And his bowties. ♥

Semi-relatedly (due to a Flaniganian connection), a fic rec! (You are shocked.) It's an AU SGA fic. (So very, very shocked.)

Blue Colorado Skies is an Old West story which the author bills as steampunk -- it's not, really; there's no steam and only a little punk. But there are dirigibles and clockwork/mechanical prosthetics. It's also a gen teamfic, with a McKay bias. Hey, this is me reccing the thing. Anyway, it's only like 11,410 words long, so check it out when you've got a few minutes. :3

Just A Boy (Music from The Elder)

Who steers the ship through the stormy sea?
If hope is lost then so are we

While some eyes search for one to guide us
Some are staring at me

But I'm no hero
Though I wish I could be
For I am just a boy,
Too young to be sailing
I am just a boy,
And my future is unveiling
And I'm so frightened of failing

While some eyes search for one to guide us
Some are staring at me

But I'm no hero
Though I wish I could be
For I am just a boy,
Too young to be sailing
I am just a boy,
And my future is unveiling
And I'm so frightened of failing
