160: The Day That You Remember, the Day That I Forget

[thefourthvine]

First, a question. My vid drive has been returned to its former glory - in fact, it is glory-enhanced now, what with its sleek new case - and I've been wallowing in vids as a result. (I missed them!) And - okay. I know someone out there will know this, and I don't. In Jossverse vids, I often see a sequence in which Wesley is visiting Faith in

Oh, I love that scene so much. It's the opening of Faith's arc on Angel S4: I think the ep is called Salvage.

Ooo, thank you! And, having seen it, I can truly say that a) it's a great scene and b) Faith really knows how to prioritize. Armageddon itself isn't worth getting worked up over, but Armageddon + Angelus = time to act.

[thefourthvine]

Thank you! (And I have now seen the scene. Eeee!)

Hmm. About the "memory loss as holiday"--that's the beginning premise of Leann Potter's SS/HP "Death Eater Takes a Holiday"--for that reason, Dumbledore gives the Hogwarts teachers a vacation free of adult cares by de-aging them, and a teenage Snape and Harry hook up.

Ooo, thank you. I must read that. *makes note to start googling*

Hooray, new fic to read when the homework stops killing me! *falls over* Although I've already read the last one, and it it love. I love that it doesn't stop with John remembering what he is! It has politics! And SG1 tie-ins!

The book looks terrifying, though, but I pretty much lost all desire to read bad fiction on purpose after I read this.

I...I don't want to write this. And yet I feel this horrible compulsion. Please tell me someone else has already written it, and provide a link.

I want to see this too. It would be awesome.

Well, everyone needs to take a break sometime. And, um, good luck with the homework, which sounds evil and vampiric. Have you tried staking it?

Truly, it is a thing of wonder and beauty forever.

It would be so cool. And of course I'm mentally casting it with SGA in my head. It would be made of fun! Elizabeth would be on massive doses of valium within an hour.

No, but I should possibly try sleeping.

And Rodney would never take it, ever, because what if he missed seeing something or missed a set of circumstances that would lead to some great breakthrough? And what if there was a crisis but he couldn't figure out how to solve it because he couldn't remember the experiences that would help him do so? And because, really, as bad as life in Pegasus can be, I think he'd take every horrible moment there over a whole lifetime on earth being ignored by the SGC.

Sometimes, he'd be really tempted, but he'd never let anyone know that.

You mentioned Tocharian A.

It brought tears to my eyes. Literally. Thank you, for reminding me that there are other people who actually know and care about the things I learn about in school.

And, as a bonus (because, you know, the Tocharian A was totally the main point, here) amnesia stories. I was just thinking about amnesia stories. Like, five minutes ago. I'm not joking. And now--stories! some of which I have not read! This is the best post ever.

Also, you managed to sum up exactly how I feel about black holes.

Tocharian A is totally worthy of our love!

Now I'm trying to think who I could whine into making me a Tocharian A icon. (And, you know, I didn't think this was worth mentioning in the post, but perhaps you can share my bitterness: the LJ spellchecker doesn't recognize "Tocharian." That is just wrong.)

This is the best post ever.

We have uncovered the recipe for greatness, and it is: ancient languages + amnesia. Who knew? *makes note*

*nods*

Fascinating, totally worth studying, but only from outside the event horizon. Sometimes hands-on experience is not the way to go.

The LJ spellchecker doesn't recognize LJ. Clearly, the poor thing is suffering from amnesia. You can't in all fairness expect it to remember Tocharian when it doesn't know its own name!

[frostfire_17]

The spellchecker in this comment doesn't recognize the word "spellchecker" either, which is kind of amusing. But even if it doesn't know spellchecker, it should totally know Tocharian.

Now I'm trying to think who I could whine into making me a Tocharian A icon.

So, um. There was photoshop? And, well.
