nnyI kept getting half-woken up last night by my phone vibrating with drunken text messages. Also by my little sister coming and sitting on my bed and telling me I was lame for going to sleep at half ten on a Friday; Other people go out, she tells me, like this is news.
Anyway, one of these half-awake states led to me thinking about Atlantis. About how one of the lab tables, before the arrival of the Daedalus, had a chess grid carefully marked out in duct tape, and how there were pieces which were, essentially, balls of duct tape. Sticky side in for the black pieces, sticky side out for the white. The various ranks were marked out with marker and tippex (white-out?), white on black and black on white.
McKay and Zelenka would play, of course. One time, after saving the city, and raiding the still that Zelenka totally doesn't have squirreled away on one of the lower levels, Radek came up with a new variation, which involved McKay being forced, every time one of his white pieces was taken, to stick it to his face. If a black piece was taken, one of the white pieces was taken off McKay's face and stuck to Zelenka's. (He's fuzzier. It's more of a punishment.) And then at some point in the night John wanders into the lab, finding a small Czech in hysterics and McKay glaring at him from between balls of duct tape, all 'WHAT?' and righteous indignation.
...yeah. I may be a little preoccupied, currently, with Zelenka's relationship with duct tape.
(Possibly I should sleep more.)
ETA, while I remember: Go leave nice messages for people. And tell other people to, also. :D?
