For-Lorne.

And now Lorne has thrown yet another wrench in the works, because he insists on telling Sheppard. Gee, thanks, Lorne. I now no longer have a Sheppard caught off guard, but one that's on the offensive, and pretty pissed at Weir.

Oh. Also, Lorne refused to say one of his better lines because he protects people within his command. Jeeze. Give this man a ship to comman-- oh. Right.

I may take a break from this story to watch Cube.



ETA: I actually I found Cube uplifting. This probably says Very Bad Things about my view of humanity.

'Course you may. The standard rule: You may steal any of my icons so long as you credit whoever I credited on my userpics page.

I get that reaction to this icon a lot...

Thankee, ma'am!

Did you ever read the book "Half-Magic" as a kid? Because the author, whose name I forget, was obviously a fan. Jabberwocky was sort of off-handedly incorporated into a metaphor. It was a "blink and you'll miss it" thing, unless you were familiar with the poem, as I was.

I remember that I kept meaning to. As in, really wanted to, but got distracted by a pile of other, equally-shiny books.

Worth a go even if I'm not a kid anymore?

Here is the box set (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0152020802/qid=1153347549/sr=1-6/ref=sr_1_6/102-6172947-1686524?s=books&v=glance&n=283155) of Half Magic and its sequels/spinoffs. Aparently the author (Edward Eager) wrote other books as well, but I don't think I ever got around to them.

I haven't read any of the sequels since I was a kid, but I found Half Magic a few years back and loved it just as much. They're clever, cute-but-not-cloying, and have just enough sentiment to keep them from being utterly silly. And you could probably get through them in a day, they're pretty short.

The covers seem to have been done by the same artist that did the cover art to my copies of the Mary Poppins books.

Could be, the books are very old.
