Thing the First

I am in that place where I want sections.

Last night--and this is just weird--I dreamed that--I'm *not kidding*--Rodney and Rod decided to like, start a war or something. Against each other. I remember nothing else but this bit where there was this--tunnel thing?--that connected the two realities and, well, *arguing*. I'm kind of pissed, because for a dream concept, that's damned cool, and I'd like details, dammit.

OTOH, it did make me wonder, in the early hours of the morning, what in the name of God Rodney would *do*. I'm thinking bomb Rod's lab while Rod's doing whatever he does with the Athosians. I mean, that's what I'd do, since I carry residual Rod-rage--okay, that really is funny if you say it out loud. But I am cruel.

But still. A Rodney versus Rod war! How cool is *that*?

Thing the Second

In far less intersting news--and that's saying something--I started playing with zohowriter. The thing is, I write in a very specific way--in Word, Times New Roman 12, regular margin. So writing in zoho is, to say the least, a little disorienting. I got around thirteen hundred words done and then stared at it, because it doesn't feel as much like me as MS Word. I'm actually aware how weird that sounds. But it took the story I was writing in a direction I'm not sure I was actually planning to go. It's like that second in Teacher's Pet where I realized that I could totally go to the dark side and torture an eight year old. It was very wrong. And yet oh so right.

Thing the Third: Waffles

Mr. Waffles somehow managed to leap from his penthouse to the bottom floor of teh cage. I have no idea how this happened, but when I finally got up, I see rabbits in motion--and in retrospect, they'd been fighting for a while by then--with Waffles leaping bravely to the floor level and cowering in a corner. I grabbed him up and held him in my lap while he shook and *shook* and checked him over for injury--but seriously. It was really freaky. Waffles allows cuddling but does not welcome it. This? Was welcoming it.

Anyway, just fed them their nightly salad and trying to mix in more rabbit food for the additional vitamins into their diet. I get they need a natural as possible diet, but reading the vitamin content on the last bag I picked up for emergencies is encouraging me to supplement with some of it. Just to be sure.

Thing the Fourth

You've got to be kidding. My life isn't that interesting.

A Rodney versus Rod war! How cool is *that*?

With both Johns looking on, rolling their eyes and quietly conspiring to make sure no permanent damage is done to either of their boyfriends? *g*

At first, yeah. Then Rod does something adn Rodney's all heartbroken in the lounge because the bastard took his favorite t-shirt! This is war, John thinks grimly, and gathers him up and puts him to bed and goes to work.

And sure, Mensa!John is all openly *brilliant*, whatever, John will think meanly, but who's done twenty years of advanced tactical analysis?

And so he starts to plot.

It can only escalate from there. Interdimensional war. The Wraith will run and hide. It is very very dramatic.

YES! John vs. Mensa!John makes me even more gleeful than Rod vs. Rodney.

And much as I adore Mensa!John, he wouldn't stand a chance - Rodney's woobie face is a great motivator, after all, and Rod could never hope to match that. *g*

Sadly, no, he wouldn't. John's got *twenty something years* of learning dirty tricks in the military. No one does good practical jokes like they do. And God. Atlantis' marines....*shivers*.

Oh yeah. I feel bad for him? But he's doomed. *pets him gently*

Do you think Mensa!John isn't in the military? I've seen people say that before, but the ep didn't seem to be suggesting that to me. It could go either way, I suppose...

The line about Mensa!John sleeping to noon makes me think he's not military. Like, definitively - every military person I've ever known has gotten up disgustingly early.

The fanfic conceit I liked best was Mensa!John getting a spot on the expedition because of his gene and nothing else. That's cool to me, because he'd have had to make a place beyond Glowy Guy for himself.

True about the sleeping to noon thing - that could point towards non-military. I guess I took it as part exaggeration on Rod's side and part Sheppard taking advantage of being a galaxy away from his superiors, but that might have been wishful thinking. *g*

The fanfic conceit I liked best was Mensa!John getting a spot on the expedition because of his gene and nothing else.

Either I haven't seen this, or my memory is failing me at the moment. Could you remind me/point me?

I also assumed Rod was exaggerating--he seemed kind of--that kind of person.

Regardless of what Mensa!Shep is doing in Atlantis, I think it's fair to assume he doesn't always work the late shift... *g* Rod probably just hates that he's so grumbly when he wakes up because it cuts down on his chances of morning sex. :D

I wish I could remember where I saw that story. I *think* it was posted the weekend after the episode aired, but I don't have any more details.

All the Mensa AU stories I've been able to find are on the masterlist over on

mensa_au, and that one doesn't seem to be among them. And I think I checked all the posts linked on the newsletter when I started the masterlist, so it's unlikely it was on one of the comms we monitor. Could it have been on your flist? Or in one of the Five Things posts, maybe?

Not that I'm desperate for more Mensa AU or anything! *g*

The only real problem I have with that is that I can't figure out *how* they'd find out about his gene in that case. Either he had to be working at the SGC or he had to be military. He also flew the jumper with Rodney in it, so he has to at least have been a pilot of some sort.

Then there is the thing that Rod had a *team* of the same people--and SGC teams require a military member, or so I was led to believe. And I kind of feel that Rod would have mentioned his Sheppard wasn't military.

I mean, I like the idea? I just can't see how it would have worked, since *John* stumbled into it practically at the last minute.

Yes, but John, being bitter and mad, will also do things like... steal all their underwear. And then smirk as he sees them chafe.

*smirks* Itching powder in their boxers.

*nods*

Or like, cutting all their shoelaces!

Diaretics in the food! War by slow erosion of moral!

Explain this... zohowriter.

its this online program for writing and sharing text files. Basically, a chick I'm working with on a fic writes in the document area, which is all set with very similar to Word controls, and then saves it online. So when I want to see what she's done, or when she tells me, I go look at it and see what she's added. Every time you save it maeks a new version, you can compare versions and it's color coded! Frankly, it kicks serious ass. Real-time collaboration would be fairly easy with this, with both of you instantly able to see additions once it's saved. It's fairly intuitive, which I value a lot, and does not require me to learn a new computer langauge.

In retrospect, I should have put in a link.

www.zohowriter.com

Huh. That actually sounds kind of cool. Especially if you're like me and keep breaking your computers.

I best like the fact I cacn open it up at work and voila! No evidence! And about a hundred times easier than emailing a story for beta.

*using right now!*

Ah now I remember, writerly pulls collaboration to another level. Another person (with permission) can comment on and edit your documents.

so does zoho!

*frowns* I did not see that option when playing around with my own documents.

It has the option to read only or edit when sharing.

hm... maybe Mr. Waffles is actually Superman reincarnated as a rabbit and maybe this was him finding out he could fly. I can see how that could be traumatic. Poor SuperRabbit. Make sure to check for any glowing green bits that might be hidden in all the greenery of the salad.

Huh. That actually would not surprise me. *pondering*

That sounds like it fits with his reaction to Reggie. Superman isn't known for his aggression.

I remember nothing else but this bit where there was this--tunnel thing?--that connected the two realities and, well, *arguing*.

NOOOOO!!! That just reminds me of the matter and anti-matter guys at each other's throats in the tunnel between dimensions for all eternity! And you know Rodney probably hates that Trek episode, because the physics is so even more unbelievably wrong than usual. Eek!

Until you mentioned that I'd forgotten that ep. Or maybe I'm only remembering cause you mentioned, but--huh. *cool*

Da da da DAH da da DAH da... < / trek action music >

;-)

last night must have been the night for Stargate character dreams.

I dreamt about Daniel Jackson. He looked pretty good (all dressed up in a nice suit), but I shortly realized that he was acting weird -- which led to the realization that it was NOT actually Daniel, but an alien being/consciousness masquerading either in his body or in a replica of his body.

I'm not really sure, cause I got angry that Daniel had apparently died. Again. and I may have inadvertently killed the not-Daniel before he could tell me the truth about what happened....and then I woke up.

Oooh. A *mystery*. You should dream a sequel. I'm kind of curious now m'self.

...can I beg you to write this? 'cos I think I will. OMGPLEASE. *PAWS AT YOU PERSUASIVELY*

I don't even know how it would go! It was just like RODNEY VERSUS ROD WAR! DEATHMATCH! Though granted, funny.

I envy your subconscious, dude. *g*

Aww. I'm actually pouty there isn't a Thing the Fourth. *pouts*

Rod vs. Rodney war sounds AWESOME. *flails* I'd be cheering for both of them, maybe with special attention to Rodney. *considers* I think Rod would win the battle but Rodney would ultimately win the war. IWANTTOSEEITSOBAD!

In far less intersting news--and that's saying something--I started playing with zohowriter.

Logging in as a demo user is so creepy, it's kind of awesome. There are resumes, school projects, promotional and sales-type things for various stores, letters, so-bad-it's-good fiction... all that's missing is porn.
