THE ROAD TO BETTER HEALTH BEGINS WITH A SINGLE STEP: STOP EATING MSG
Recs:
John/Todd ficlet by

Misc McShep fic by
darkhavens - a lot of really good short stories in there that pack quite a punch.
nanuk_dain's fantastic Ronon/Lorne manips
stereowire draws SGA a lot. And I do realize that this art is pre 2008 and I'm sure you've all seen it already. BUT JUST IN CASE.
Graphics:
I did play with Paint.net and realized that if I have a particular type of source image I can get something looking good. I tried to make some icons for a challenge, however, and I have to say that I need some stuff that it seems is only available in Photoshop in order to get anything I'm even mildly happy with.
I can't tell you how happy I was to just be able to try it out though - I missed playing around with graphics! And because one of the Michael Weatherly images I found recently worked nicely with one of the Paint.net filters (i.e. had certain background and contrast characteristics), I have a new journal header that I CANNOT STOP STARING AT. MICHAEL WEATHERLY WHY ARE YOU SO GORGEOUS.
Sexual Frustration:
So speaking of. The NCIS eps I'm watching on TV are reruns of reruns, so I don't have to pay attention as much to the plot. Which means I basically sit there for an hour with my brain saying Michael Weatherly Michael Weatherly Michael Weatherly Mark Harmon! Michael Weatherly Michael Weatherly Oh my goodness Abby's wearing ARMWARMERS that's so hot Michael Weatherly Michael Weatherly Michael Weatherly.
Writing Good Porn:
I have realized the secret to writing good porn. Don't ask - it's a secret.
I have not discovered the secret to applying the secret to writing good porn, however.
SGA Kink Meme Prompts:
I just wrote a bunch about if I should post my SGA kink meme prompts anonymously or not. I think I worked out my answer by "talking it out". So yeah :) I saved the paragraphs if anyone's terribly interested but I think you'd do better to spend some time looking at those links I recced :)
ETA: Sneaky Surprise NCIS rec!
That's Not My Name by faemouse is a hot story that completely satisfies my desire for pre-series Gibbs/DiNozzo non-casefic. As in, these two guys are so attracted to each other that it doesn't take a twenty-chapter internal-feelings-analyzing-fest to get them together.
