Elizabeth Weir/John Sheppard Appreciation/Ship/Discussion Thread
I want to feel the pages, smell the pages and hold the pages. Plus, if by chance my book drops in the tub while I'm reading it's just wet and will get dry again. An e-reader would be bust.
I feel the same way. Although I do use my kindle when I travel, but only then.
I also want to say a big thank you to slizzie for running the challenge for me this week!
Plus, taking a bath to me is one of the biggest wastes of time ever. I get bored and start looking for dirty spots on the tile in about 30 seconds. Get in the shower, wash and get out is my philosophy. In fact when watching those home shows in which the lady of the house is usually all excited about her soaker tub, I'm thinking they should rip that thing out and put in either a larger shower or cabinets.
GASP!!!
I love taking long, hot (read "scolding hot") baths. Just about the only time my brain stops its chaotic pattern of thoughts. Hence why I also have plenty of Eureka! moments in the tub (and never any paper at hand to write them down).
I'm half and half on this. I like the convenience of my iPad to read on, but I love turning pages in a book. So I still have a small library at home of a few books that I actually deemed worthy of buying.
I'm right there with you. And then there's artbooks. Those big two-page spreads just don't work so well on a tablet.
As an old English teacher, I should agree with you guys and I used to, but the convenience of tech won me out.

We're going to have both showers and tubs in the new house. Showers are convenient, but nothing helps with exfoliation like a good soak.

Sparky is on screen. Therefore, it is canon.Elizabeth is still out there. And John WILL bring her home.

To be honest, I probably will only use it a handful of times. Sometimes just knowing that it's available makes it nice. In comparison, my old bathroom was the size of a small closet with a shower stall, so I'll take the upgrade.

Yes, anything artwork related is definitely better in book form.
Sounds crackalicious!
It's quickly going that way!
I finally got internet again yesterday!!! I'm working on the fic, and I also found a Sparky vidlet I made a while back. However, school wifi is a butt so I may have to wait until after work to post it.
ETA: Uploaded it to Photobucket. We'll see how this works!
Clicking on it takes you to PB. But it works. Storyline:
Spoiler:
basically, S4 got screwed up. LOL Elizabeth got rescued (covertly) by the IOA and ended up back on Earth, living under an assumed identity and having nothing to do with the Stargate program or the people therein. But she misses Atlantis. And a certain flyboy colonel who likes things that go faster than 200mph. She records a video, wanting to send it to him but knowing the IOA will never pass it on. A year passes. John ends up on Earth investigating something and somehow comes across the video.
Oh, hello, Sparky fic bunnies. I wondered where you were hiding.

Oooooh! What an angst bomb! Better start laying in a stock of tissues now!

Love it and love me some Sparky angst.
Don't get me started on bathrooms. Even as we speak I am waiting for the workmen who are doing a reno on our master bath to show up. Every day they get later and leave earlier. There's always a "good" reason, at least to them. Meanwhile, Mr. SR and I are sharing the guest bath. Everything is covered in dust and they leave the doors wide open so anything can fly in. One day I was drying my hair in the bathroom and one of them appeared on a ladder outside the window. Luckily, I was wearing my bathrobe. Sheesh. I anticipate at least 2 more weeks of this. Thinking about running away.

I'll take Shep in a jumper, or out of a jumper for that matter, any time. They promise they'll have the major part finished by the end of the week. But since some of the parts we've ordered haven't come yet, I have a feeling they'll be back next week to finish up.

Out of a jumper. With a bottle of champagne and a box of chocolates.

I am also Edith and I have been cleared of all murder charges. I was wondering where the blood on my hands came from.
Whee, The Eye gifs! Awesome job!
And apparently I am Robert and I have to cook dinner for Mr Carson. LMAO!
