Fic Question

[mrv3000]

Okay, I *might* have the beginnings of a fic idea. We'll see. The muse has been horrible to me lately - filling my head with fun ideas and then laughing at me when I realize they're not doable.

Muse: Psst. Michelle. Wouldn't it be neat to do SG-1: The Musical?
Me: Well, I don't know. Sounds pretty lame.
Muse: Come on! Think of the costumes!
Me: I do like costumes.
Muse: And the cool lighting?
Me: I *have* been hoping for a chance to haul out my stars gobo.
Muse: Frankly, the idea of Sam giving up being a nun to become a governess for Colonel O'Neill's seven children is too good to pass up! Better write it before someone else does!
Me: Well...okay.
Muse: Sucker!

My question: Would the water bottles SG-1 carries be called canteens? Or is canteen an antiquated term? Are they made out of plastic?

the gateroom is alive with the sound of music

Did I tell you about the time last year when I dreamt an entire Alias musical, beginning to end? With teaser, opening and closing credits, a plot, a denouement, and a preview for next week?

Thankfully, all I remember about the actual content is that Victor Garber sang and danced a lot.

Are you sure you weren't just watching Godspell? ;->

Except that Victor Garber wasn't in that. (Unless he was in the recent TV version that I missed.)

Godspell, OTOH...let's just say, due to that being my earliest obsession with a musical, my default impression of him is a skinny 23-year-old in a Superman shirt with a truly frightening white-guy Afro and hippie face paint.

Yeah, there was a newer tv version out maybe a month ago. Matthew Broderick played Prof. Hill. Garber played the mayor.

Oh...my. Oh my, my, my, my, my! WOW!!!!

Trying to debate if I should go rent this and pull on my Mystery Science Theater cap. Heh.

Get it, even if not for that. I adore that movie. It's very very early-70s-flower-child-y, but it really is just wonderful.

And tell me if the blonde chick named Robin doesn't remind you of Amanda when she smiles. I'm telling ya, it's eerie.

Actually I saw a production of that last year - one of the local theaters around here. I really enjoyed it. But then I'm a sucker for live theater. *g*

Weird.

I hope you sufficiently laughed at yourself for it. I would have been giggling the whole day from it. :)
