No one here wants to fight me like you do

Combat baby
Come back, baby
Fight off the lethargy
Don't go quietly
Combat baby
Said you would never give up easy
Combat baby, come back



This song has become my headcanon song for Touga discovering he misses Saionji after he conspired to get him expelled.

I had a crap day; not enough sleep + getting on the wrong bus = teh suck, lads and lasses. Also terrible black crud dripped on my uniform shirt and now I am am following my boss's recommended "augh get the stain out" procedures. (eta: which do not appear to be working, and I got a mouthful of detergent for my troubles. DX)

So I'ma cheer myself up by using my new Riker icon and blabbing about ST:TOS novels. ;P

Re: this post, I did finish Ice Trap, and then I went out and bought meself a copy, since it's such an enjoyable read. Murder! Mayhem! Magnetism! Chekov & Uhura being awesome! McCoy the brave little toaster! Kirk's shirt slashed open in a knife fight! What's not to love?

I bought two more books by the same author, as well, because why not? Death Count and Firestorm. I'll let you know how those go.

I also bought Sarek, which, as you can probably guess by the title, is about Spock's dad. Now, I like Sarek, but strangely that's not why I bought the book. X3 No, I got it because Peter Kirk is in it, and -- wait, you don't know who that is? Jim's only surviving nephew. Adorable little redhaired creature. Anyway, I have been spoiled as to what all happens with him in this book, and am tickled by the idea of James T. having to cope with his nephew eloping with the sister of the Klingon that killed his son. Kirk's son, that is; Dr. David Marcus. No, not the guy JFlan played in Providence. David's in the movies, y'know, that blond mad scientist who attacked Kirk with a knife? Yeah, him.

It just strikes me as ironic.

I also read Memory Prime, which was a pretty good adventure (though not as good as Ice Trap). I liked how the Andorians were portrayed; I think chaletian must be channeling them when she writes her village!verse Chekov. X3 Scotty got some face time with his lady love, which was cool. There was a part where a non-Star Fleet character meets (most of) the Enterprise bridge crew for the first time, and his impressions were interesting. Sulu's blinding smile! Chekov's outrage and willingness to drink vodka with total strangers! The terrifying spectre of what the Federation would be like with Kirk as president! *shudder*

However, my favourite bit of the book has got to be when Kirk needed to get a message to Spock, and make sure Spock knew it was from him and not a trick. HE SENT IT TO AMANDA FROM WINONA. ♥♥♥omg♥!!! asdfghjkl;! It was freaking adorable! Do they use The Secret Mom Code a lot, I wonder? ;D

What else, what else... Oh, yes. I tried to read The Entropy Effect, but it was taking way too long to murder Kirk, and when Sulu had sex with a woman the suspension of my disbelief just came crashing down like a drunk on stilettos. Much prefer the book where he reveals his greatest love was not a woman, but, in fact, chocolate -- and then gets an alien hooked on the stuff. X3

Hmm. I feel better!

I know it took me a lot of effort and confusion to get my penguin header up, but I love the winter holidays, and I had this lovely Eddie Izzard icon just lying around unused in my hard drive...

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

Hee hee hee...

This comic book about John Winchester is actually tempting me to poke Supernatural.

IT'S LIKE CONTACT HIGH.

XD
Joe Flanigan claimed to be pregnant (though he might have meant John) in this ComiCon interview (warning: scenes from episodes from Season 4 shown in interview, spoilers ahoy!) It's at around 00:51.

XD

It is from a_muffin_story. Possibly I will make it my default, but I am not sure.

But it is so darn cute! :D

The robot's name is Rodney. Rodney the robot. I did not make that up.

ETA: I should warn you that a_muffin_story is awesome. It is filled with gorgeous full colour photographs of delicious food, accompanied by stories and even recipes and cooking tips. She also tries various foods. Northstar/Iceman fans might wanna check out the entry on otter pops. Stargate: Atlantis fans might be interested in her trial of a an MRE. I am frankly dazzled by all the baked goods.

The occasional robots and ninja are just a bonus, really.

So cute! :3
