La, la, la, link, link, link...

I've been far too wretched to deal with the umpteen-zillion open tabs, until today. (I just kept reading more fic... does it show?)

So, lots of SGA recs, and some library-related and incredibly miscellaneous stuff further down.

Anyone who's interested probably already knows that part two of Bell Curve, rageprufrock's stripper AU, is up.

The Empty Bell is a mission fic, and is bleak and lyrical and full of fine, heart-wrenching detail.

Cred by resonant8 "Rodney gave attention to problems, and to devices, and to food and coffee, and to worst-case scenarios. People, not so much. He made you earn it." John earns Rodney's attention.

Down to You is about Rodney and Jeannie, and how John is not Tupperware. Mostly Jeannie PoV. (And yes queenzulu, there are deceptive multiple parts herein!)

Dominus Tecum is a fantastic characters study, about Zalenka's personal item.

The Last Walk Home, in which car problems are the least of John and Rodney's troubles, and, just, brrr.

Seven Circles Twisting is about a mission gone wrong, and is even more bone-chilling for the little bits we get to see.

... Are Made of This "At night, he dreams of coffee ice cream and physics."

Einstein is just an incredibly cute little highschool teacher AU. (Shutupshutupshutup!)

Finding the Place is another ESP challenge flashfic. John can find Rodney. Um, but maybe sometimes Rodney doesn't want to be found.

Rodney McKay and the Hot-Blooded Pilot amused me incredibly. I mean, I doubt this would happen, but if it did, it would be just like this.


Here's an interview with David Hewlett about season two. Minor spoilers herein, scroll down past the French version for the English.

An interview with Joe Flannigan, where you can read how Ronon is John's Chewbacca. Heh.

The SGA Earth Personnel List, potentially very useful!

From laura_jv, the most awesome sign ever! Especially for those who have to deal with the public.

The BBC has Terry Pratchett's Guards! Guards! posted as a radio play.

Chris Van Allsburg's website is very cool. If you're not familiar with his picture books (an even if you are), you should go take a look.

Kermit the Frog is fifty! Worth reading for the Kermit quote at the end.

A Humument is a treated book by British artist Tom Phillips based on the Victorian novel 'A Human Document' by W.H. Mallock, which doesn't quite encapsule the whole cool post-modern meta-textness of it all.

This is a poem by Hugh Sykes Davies just called poem, gakked from Neil Gaiman's blog, which makes sense because it's damn creepy. "In the stump of the old tree, where the heart has rotted out, there is a hole the length of a man's arm, and a dank pool at the bottom of it where the rain gathers, and the old leaves turn into lacy skeletons. But do not put your hand down to see, because"

Also, Science vs Norse Mythology! In comic form!

The Exciting Game of Career Girls! circa 1966. Yes, that means two of your six exciting career choices are teacher and nurse.

Swedish library launches "borrow a person" program Bizarre... but cool.

The Archie McPhee online store is a good way to waste much time. (For example, naked_bandit needs the phrenology head. amd though it's no fuzzy slug sticker, the stuffed slug. And ming_lei would get a kick out of the Donkey Cigarette Dispenser. However. What I really want is the Deluxe Librarian Action Figure!

anxiety of influence, on selecting and weeding YA books.

Some well-justified debate over the ALA's public librarian certification, aka library science for dummies. I gather it's supposed to be a post-MLIS thing, which begs the question, why isn't it covered in MLIS program? MLIS being the American Library Association-certified Master's degree you need to be a librarian (I explain as I realize I've fallen into acronym-speak). There's been a growing amount of dissatisfaction over this lately. But enough said.

And something that okay, might only be funny to me, the blog A Librarian's Guide to Etiquette.
