10 things that make me happy (gakked from
aurora_novarum). A nice thing to do on a Friday.
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, toforce 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...
1. RDA's acting in General Hospital. See the wonderful vid on
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.

Can be Sam/Teal'c...was thinking Jack might see something that says it's Ishtar and say it's Ish'ta, maybe Sam winces...
OR
Since Mesopotamia is now Irag...some sort of bad memories for Jack and/or Sam?
(or both)
