Things of niceness.

10 things that make me happy (gakked from [personal profile] aurora_novarum). A nice thing to do on a Friday.

1. RDA's acting in General Hospital. See the wonderful vid on [personal profile] surreallis's recent post. Dear lord but he was awful - and yet, still adorable. (See also Cold Lazarus for an object lesson in why practice is a Very Good Thing.)

2. Posts of glee. Go and add more glee! 

3. Making my own tea blend, which I am definitely going to do soon. You see, there's a shop in Covent Garden where you can choose the tea types (lapsang, Assam, etc), add in other flavourings (rose petals, dried oranges, and the like), spritz it with a spray of orange oil, lemon oil, mint oil, etc - and then, you know, buy it, take it home, and make tea with it.

4. Tickets to and a room at Dragon*Con. (Now all I need to get are the flights...)

5. Vegetarian haggis for dinner tonight. Yes.

6. The warm, fuzzy feeling that someone, somewhere is saying nice things about me, when I get a sudden rash of 'Favorite Story' / 'Favorite Author' notifications from ff.net, out of the blue.

7. My Stargate mug, with colour-change Gate - so that when you fill it with hot water, the silhouettes of SG-1 disappear into the wormhole.

8. Glittery purple bracelets.

9. New String Theory!

10. Going to the British Museum at lunchtime. Aside from all the pretties, it's such a very nice space. The light in the Great Court is so comfortable on the eyes, and I love the stairs, broad and just the right height, stone worn soft from all the visitors. And it gave me an idea – see below.


Okay, my idea: I'd like to go to the British Museum more often, because it's just around the corner, plus I really ought to step away from my desk for my hour's lunchbreak, if I can. So I was thinking, to force encourage me to do this, I will offer my Stargate fic services. 

Take a look at the museum's rooms here: Ground floor , Lower floor , Upper floor ...and pick a room number (or just choose a random number between 1 – 94). Comment with the number, and your preference of pairing or gen (bearing in mind that I've only watched half of season 1 of Atlantis, and haven't seen season 10 of SG-1). I will then go to that room, and write at least 100 words of fic based on something I see in there.

Whaddya think?  

ETA: Okay, thank you! No more prompts for the moment, although I may reopen it for prompts again in the future. I'd love to have done a fic for every room in the whole museum, some day...

Well, I've not tried proper haggis, so I can't really compare - but vegetarian haggis is basically grains and spices (and possibly some onion or something, I'm not sure), squished together. It's not terribly exciting, as a meal, but it's okay. I'm mainly having it because it's Burns Night, and I like doing that sort of thing: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burns_night

I love my mug. I have to stop and watch it changing, every time. :) Ah, wish you could come with me to the British Museum, that'd be fun. And YAY DRAGON*CON! *glees*
