Weird; what's up with Google?

I just did a Google search on Google Groups and was first told I looked like a spy bot and made to type text in a box, which, okay, whatever, and then my search threw up one result when I expected hundreds.

Out of curiosity I searched for my name, matching it with alt.fan.heinlein, and again got one very recent result when there should have been a gazillion going back to 1997 as I was searching the last 15 years or so and if you think I'm chatty on LJ, I was equally verbose on newsgroups.

Is it me, or is it a problem their end? I got quite panicked thinking that I don't exist there anymore... :;pinches me::

ETA Looks like Google just hates me; am scanning.

And there's a Jack/Daniel/Vala snippet in the comments now :-)

Beta?

I just realised I have my Sentinel Gets a Clue fic sitting here, unbeta'd and finished, and it has to be posted on May 20th so I should be getting it polished up. Doh.

It's slash, but the smut is mild R maybe, and it's really more of a lighthearted adventure than anything. It has plot! They leave the loft! There are secondary characters! :;wide eyes:;

It's around 10,000 words. Will swap betas with anyone else doing the challenge, if that's an inducement :;looks hopeful::

Sorted! Thank you.

Sentinel AU 'Point of Contact' Part Six Jim/Blair NC17

Here's the next part of this WiP. It's 8,500 words and carries right on from the last chapter.

Grateful thanks to my beta t_verano whose thoughtful comments added an extra thousand words and made it so much better :;hugs her::


Previous parts here.

Episode thoughts on tonight's Stargate Atlantis

The Tao of Rodney

And I didn't do any thoughts on The Shroud. Gosh. I must have had some and I remember liking it but I didn't post about it.

Oh, well.

RB in 'Action'

Now Google is being nice to me again, I found a snippet of dialogue from the TV show 'Action' with Richard Burgi as Cole Riccardi, an action star, giving blow jobs (well, one, but one's enough) on screen and generally making me wonder why all the good shows never make it to DVD (unless it is available? :;looks hopeful:: ETA: Yes, it looks like Amazon has it; thank you all!) I've heard about this show but never seen it...

Cole: Peter, I'm gay.

Peter: I could care less.

Cole: Thank you. My dilemma is, I'm ready to come out of the closet.

Peter: When?

Cole: Tomorrow.

Peter: Tomorrow? What are you--high on poppers? Tomorrow? Cole, you're an
action movie star. You get paid millions of dollars to shoot racially
stereotyped villians and ...and..gnaw on the breasts of actresses that are
twenty years younger than you.

Cole: And I still want to do that. But as an openly gay man.

Peter: You can't, Cole. How 'bout we call the folks at Hasbro and inform
them of your ...reorganisation. We'll tell them to redo the Cole Riccardi
doll -- have an AK-47 in one hand and a tube of K-Y Jelly in the other.
