Passing on some lovely fic recs

Ooooh forlornhope42 recced these and I have to join the bandwagon!! They're both great and both gen! It's been a while since I found some good SGA gen to rec.

Firstly Unexpectedly Lucky by ellex42. A Rodney POV fic and so well written. Makes your heart go out to him. :D

and Secondly, Role Models by jimandblair, which is a Traders/SGA crossover with Grant, Rodney and Sheppard. It's really great how she managed to make Grant and Rodney related and Sheppard is so sweet in this fic. I like that side of John. He's all relaxed and accepting. She writes all three characters well.

So anyway. Thanks for the recs Skein. I am now spreading the wealth. *grins*

Shopping rambles

I went shopping again today and, as per usual when I shop alone, I come back with absolutely nothing of actual practical value.

What I bought:
1) I reordered the DVD of Nothing, this time from JB HiFi, since the other store still couldn't get it in.
2) While I was there, I found they had a copy of "The Island" for $13 and since I've yet to see it, I couldn't resist. I've heard mixed reviews on this one, but it should be nice to watch just for the Ewan perving, if nothing else.
3) I wandered into another store to find "The Muppets" displayed on a big screen and, like everyone else who had wondered in, I stopped and giggled at it. They were playing the Munamanah song scene...you know "Manamanah...doo doo dododo...Manamanah...doo doo dododo...Manamanah....doo doo dododo dododo dododo dododo doo doo dodo doo"
Totaly had to buy it. You can get the whole S1 of the muppets for just $20! BARGAIN!
4) I always peruse the $5 books outside Angus and Robertson, but today I found something that made me giggle insanely for a few minutes, earning me a good many weird looks, and after that I had to buy it...rather sheepishly! :p

The book is called "The Imposter", has an impossibly good-looking man and woman on the cover and here's the ( blurb )

Gahahahaha!
*giggle fit*
*dies and is dead*
...and yes, it did have all those atrocious punctuation no nos. I didn't add them in. I was thinking though, that I believe this is the first romance novel I have ever bought.

Oh and I also bought a Robin Cook novel. While I tend to find his books somewhat cringe-worthy, in that his characters about as as three-dimensional as cardboard cut-outs, his plots do focus on the evils of biotechnology...an area, which for obvious reasons, both amuses and terrifies me. Plus it's fun to read how much he can simplify down the genetics for the lay person.

Well that was it...I think I'm going to sit here and write some fic. I had the most strange idea on the way to the shops for a story involving three separate DH characters...in the same fic. I think I'm going insane.
