Vocab.

I'm learning lots of new words (new to me, anyhow). Wo ai ni de pi gu (phonetic Chinese), from urbandictionary.com  - means "I like your ass." I like to think I'll end up speaking like a combination of 'Firefly' and 'Black Books'. 

Shiny.

I think I need to Photoshop this picture so it no longer looks like Jack's got something up his nose. It's just a badly-placed speck of light on the glass he's looking through.

edit: Currently reading 'The Furies' by Abby Eddey, from Heliopolis - Sam fighting for her world and her General - go Sam! Lots of Jack-whumping, death, destruction, trekking through the wilderness, upcoming battles, apocalypse, that sort of thing - NSFW - but I'm sure there's a happy ending because, er, I checked. Hey, I wanted to make sure it was finished before I started reading - it's something like 62,000 words long. That's a novel. How does she write that much? How???

edit 2: Anyone know what 'CFB' stands for? Used in the above story, in the below context. I get the gist, and can make an intelligent guess, but I'm just curious. I don't think it's Come F**k me Boots, Canadian Forces Base, or Circulating Fluidizing Bed:

"People," Carter spoke quietly as she stepped in front of the table, "I want this understood, C ... F ... B. I am done running. I am taking you home. We are not retreating. We are not pulling back. We are not running away. Starting today -- we are taking back our home from this enemy. I am bringing this battle to Earth. We start here ... We start today."

Dude!

I was just sitting here reading fanfic and totally thought of you when I encountered this bit of Jack's thoughts:


"He, too, had to be there, he told himself. He had to watch her back, get her home, and every now and then serve as a portable hard drive for downloading Ancient data or a punching bag for some Goa’uld with an attitude. If that meant that he also got to work with her, see her for coffee and at briefings, and now and then spend time on weekends or evenings, always as her CO, of course, and always in the company of others … ‘Well, what,’ he’d demanded of his restless conscience, ‘is the harm?’

Looking in to Ba’al’s dead eyes, Jack O’Neill had his answer – CFB. In a flash of terrible clarity, he saw what it would cost Sam and Daniel and Teal’c … and him. "


And I still don't know!!!

Re: Wait!
Aha! Yes, that could be it.

Maybe I should just, y'know, email the darn writer and ask. But it's much more fun guessing.
