the revenge of the web orders

[mylittleredgirl]

I feel horribly ganged-up upon by inanimate objects. And, I suppose, the total strangers (who are animate) sending these inanimate emails and telephone calls. Just... a *lot* of web orders. And emails. And the phone hasn't stopped ringing such that I haven't even *listened* to my metric craploads of voicemails yet.

*buries head in paperwork, like ostrich*

I will get through today. I WILL.

I probably shouldn't have hit mystic_isles000, though. That was kind of unprofessional. Even though it was totally in self-defense because she jumped out at me from nowhere. *snuggles sister* She has apparently forgiven me, because she just came into my office and did her Jack-as-velociraptor-in-"Broca-Divide" impersonation for me. My day is much improved.

It's so nice to work in the same place, even if our coworkers (justifiably) believe we are complete and utter loony bin escapees.

Little Red, back to the metaphorical salt mines.

Is Jack mining naked there???

;-)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

...there could be... shrinkage.. issues, there. Dehydration and all...

On the other hand, Sam could then be required to dose him nightly with aloe, or something. Mm. hands in new places.

"That is definitely not your side-arm, sir."

"I'm naked, Carter."

"Indeed, O'Neill."

"Yeah, Jack, about that..."

"AH! Daniel, I don't wanna hear you complain. It's not like *you* spent the day--"

"Sir?"

"Carter?"

"Turn over."

"Oh. *muffled* I feel like toast."

[lisayaeger.livejournal.com]

LOL! Classic SG-1 moment! If only TPTB wrote in stuff like that!!!

...!

[nenya_kanadka]

That is just...so wrong, and yet rather amusing...

Did they ever mine in salt mines on the show? I remember one where Daniel went off to be semi-royalty and look hot, whilst the other three were mining *something*, but I don't remember what it was...Daniel got addicted to the sarcophagus, I believe...

Er. Yes. Eheh.

*innocent* Me, derail the conversation from naked!Jack to hot!Daniel??

[mylittleredgirl.livejournal.com]

they don't so much mine salt on SG-1. Naquadah, yes. Trinium. I don't think they've ever mined anything that can actually be formed by things that exist on our current periodic table.

[nenya_kanadka]

I don't think they've ever mined anything that can actually be formed by things that exist on our current periodic table.

Gotcha! (But of course. That would be boring! :D Bounce a graviton particle beam, etc.... I do love SF sometimes....)

[mylittleredgirl.livejournal.com]

I guess it's no odder than mining pergium, or dilithium. Except those sound real to me. Because I got geeked on Star Trek young.

And did we ever figure out what sort of "ore" got processed on Terok Nor? I think they do a lot of generic ore mining in Star Trek.

[nenya_kanadka]

LOL. Yes, generic mining, just like generic caves on away team missions.

But I think what they were processing on Terok Nor was uridium. I think that's Treknochemistry, too, but it sounds real enough....

[mylittleredgirl.livejournal.com]

YES! You're right.

And I'm an awful judge of whether something is Treknobabble or actually exists. Awful. When I was a kid, I thought fax machines were miniature transporters.

Hee!

[nenya_kanadka]

Awww, how cute! The little Trekkie is talking! :P No, seriously, that's great--I only discovered Star Trek after I was twenty, so I don't have any awesome stories like that to tell. I'm indoctrinating my small siblings, though. :D

Re: Hee!

[mylittleredgirl.livejournal.com]

As you should. It is important to bring the young from the darkness into the light.

-- Little Red, all about the subtle geek quotes.

Re: ...!

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

That would be 'Need', and yeah, they were mining naquadah while Daniel got to camp it up.

Re: ...!

[mylittleredgirl.livejournal.com]

'cuz Daniel's so preeeeetty.

Sam and Jack should definitely have traded massages there. Definitely. And snuggled together for body heat at night. *nods* (and, I suppose, so that random miners and guards wouldn't try and snag her. Although it might be fun to watch them try, because she'd kick them in the head)

Gotta watch out for his team, and all...

Re: ...!

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah. The team. Definitely.

After all, being cold (and the whole not having painkillers and it being that time of the month --which is why you NEVER actually SEE Carter working, 'cause it hurts too damned much-- Jack's probably good at backrubs, because I betcha he did them for Sara. Even when she wasn't pregnant).

*pities Sam*

[mylittleredgirl.livejournal.com]

Oh, ew. That just cannot be pleasant in an unsanitary *mine.*

And Jack's *so* good at backrubs. And that talent should not be going to waste all this time, people. It's a crime, in fact.

Heh. They should totally borrow a page from Enterprise and have half-naked massage playtime as friends. For medical purposes. Well, I suppose that's one benefit of pants!verse :)

You're a bad influence, dude...

Sigh. La, Ah feel corrupted.

*shrieks*

[mylittleredgirl.livejournal.com]

OMG! AMAZING!! HAHAHA *dies*

Can I use that? Can I? Since I am the fluff wench? *pleads*

I could... like... promise to write you pants!verse (or !verse of your choice) fluff in exchange, or something... *bats eyes*

Re: *shrieks*

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*snickers* Have it, darlin'.

I have too many of these damned things as it is... ;)

And, hell, pants!verse should always be written...

*LOVE!*

[mylittleredgirl.livejournal.com]

OMG. Love you. SO MUCH.

pants!verse SHOULD always be written! Perhaps after my doctor's appointment tomorrow I will declare it a Day Of Pants.

Muse appears amenable, but she is a fickle little wench.

YAY!

Re: ...!

[nenya_kanadka]

Oh, adorable. :)

*squeee at Ben and Kasidy*

Re: ...!

[nenya_kanadka]

I am SO on a Ben/Kasidy kick right now. TheirloveissoSWEET! Watched "The Dogs of War" and drooled over everything except dying Cardies. :) And the icon is such fun!

*finalchapterisooooooh*

[mylittleredgirl.livejournal.com]

Man, I heart the final chapter. Except the baby thing, to be honest. I like it more now that I'm reading "Avatar" because it clicked that, oh, this is a mythology and that's necessary, but... eh. The marriage part is *adorable*, though! :) Theysocute.

But damn. That last big arc of DS9 is, like, the sexiest television EVER. I made at least two people get into the show and watch the entire series just so that they could watch and appreciate the final chapter. Breen! Damar! OdoandKira!! EZRI! Man, I loves it all.

Re: *finalchapterisooooooh*

[nenya_kanadka]

Hee. They ARE adorable. And the baby thing, with him being all "we're having a baby! and no, nothing bad is going to happen, because...well, because...but, it's not!" and being all protective. *huggles Ben* I sort of rolled my eyes at the mythology angle--I mean, this kid is going to have SO many expectations around it from the Bajoran populace at large, it's not even funny--but all the sadness and angst around them being all snuggly and newly-wed, and then Ben getting taken away...it just breaks my heart, but in a good way. Damn, but I want Ben back. :D

Re: *finalchapterisooooooh*

[mylittleredgirl.livejournal.com]

I guess I just felt like the baby was cliched (oh! we're ending a series! somebody needs to have a baby!) and it would have been still superangsty without it (since, JUST MARRIED). But they are so cute. I love their relationship.

I want *everybody* back.

Re: *finalchapterisooooooh*

[nenya_kanadka]

I know! I just watched WYLB (showed it to my mom, in the ongoing Convert Mum To Trekkieism Project) and felt so sad afterward (best ending scene ever, but makes me SO homesick!) that I had to go back and watch amusing Ezri episodes from earlier in the season in order to not get depressed. :) Odo leaving and Ben leaving were the saddest, I think.

Dude, they SO need to do a movie. But I think they won't. Argh.

[mylittleredgirl.livejournal.com]

*loves you*

Ah. I now feel bolstered enough with gleee to tackle the voicemails. Happy thoughts. YAY!

(and me and familyarchives were just talking about Sam and Jack and aloe last night. Hmm. Must be a sign. Or... something.)

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

*snickers* Ah swear we weren't mind-melding. Probably...

*g*

Medical dispensation!

[aj.livejournal.com]

She can go pants-less when sunburned!

We agreed that, right?

completely medical!

[mylittleredgirl.livejournal.com]

We DID agree! And I'll bet Janet would agree, too, although she would pretty much die after that phone conversation.

Daniel: "What'd Jack want?"
Janet: "That was Sam."
Daniel: *eyes caller ID* "What'd *Sam* want?"
Janet: "She's sunburned. Wanted to check with me about treatment."
Daniel: "This is funny?"
Janet: "She's walking around Jack's house right now with *no pants!*"
Daniel: "FINALLY."
Janet: "No, no, this is apparently for medical purposes only. They're still not having sex."
Daniel: "'Medical purposes'? You are KIDDING me."
Janet: "I know. I KNOW."
Daniel: "She's naked in his house!"
Janet: "I have a bad feeling she got sunburned on purpose."
Daniel: "Do you call County Mental Health, or do I?"
Janet: "You dial, I'll talk."

[mylittleredgirl.livejournal.com]

Dude, if my job involved Jack mining naked, do you REALLY think I'd be taking time out to post to LJ about it?

[lisayaeger.livejournal.com]

Dude. Such a good point. So often, work interrupts my Jack daydreams...

how dare it.

[mylittleredgirl.livejournal.com]

Work is, clearly, evil.

Incidentally, I'll bet work interrupts *Sam's* Jack daydreams a lot, too...

Re: how dare it.

[lisayaeger.livejournal.com]

Ya think?

;-)

well...

[mylittleredgirl.livejournal.com]

Of course, her work actually involves Jack, so she might be more okay with it than you and I.

Although then she has to keep mentally beating herself with things for fantasizing about him and *gasp* almost getting caught, so, I suppose it's not that fun for her, either. But that's just 'cuz she's dumb. (because, come on, would Jack really *mind*?) *snuggles cute dumb Sam*

Re: well...

[lisayaeger.livejournal.com]

LOL!

I love the way you think :-)

hee.

[mylittleredgirl.livejournal.com]

I do, too :)

Jonas: "You know Sam talks in her sleep?"
Jack: "What, off-world?"
Jonas: "No, here."
Jack: *eyes as if to say 'and WHY was she sleeping in your presence not off-world?'*
Jonas: "Nonono. We were working on that artifact in her lab and I got reading and didn't notice she fell asleep on her keyboard."
Teal'c: "Major Carter does have a tendency to take rest in odd locations."
Jack: "It's called passing out, and I'll have a talk with her about it."
Jonas: "But she was talking about *you.*"
Jack: "Like... Yu?"
Teal'c: "I do believe Jonas Quinn was not referring to Lord Yu, but, in fact, to *you.*"
Jack: "Uh..."
Teal'c: "That is most fascinating."
Jack: "Um, and... what was she saying about me?"
Jonas: "Well, I couldn't make most of it out, as she was talking into her keyboard, but I think she was saying something... oh, is that cheesecake?"
Jack: "JONAS!"
Teal'c: "Jonas Quinn, please complete your thought."
Jonas: "Oh. Well, it was something about a broken capacitor. Did you break anything in her lab recently?"
Jack: *blinks*
Teal'c: "That was not what I expected you to say, Jonas Quinn."
Jonas: "You really should be more careful with her stuff. She almost hit me the other day when I dropped this compositor. It didn't even break."
Jack: "Uh... yeah."
Jonas: "Oh. And there was something else. About fishing?"
Teal'c: "I believe O'Neill has requested her to accompany him on fishing trips on numerous occasions."
Jonas: "Oh. Is that why she has a 'fishing for dummies' book hidden in her office?"
Jack: "What?"
Jonas: "Yeah. She put another dust jacket on it. I found it when I was trying to look up the metric weight of the Golden Gate Bridge."
Teal'c: "For what purpose were you researching such a thing?"
Jonas: "Oh! I-"
Jack: "Really? Fishing? Hidden in her office?"
Jonas: "Yeah! And it was all high-lighted and everything."
Jack: "I'm gonna go... talk to her. About the passing out at work thing."
Jonas: "I can tell Doctor Fraiser, if you want."
Jack: "No! I'll do it."
Teal'c: "I wish you luck, O'Neill."
Jonas: "Can I have your cheesecake, then?"
