eh, weird question
Does anyone know if there's a McKay/Sheppard reworking of Notting Hill? The roommate and I were spinning this odd hypothetical world in which all the stars come to our little podunk town to hide out from the paparazzi and drive beat-up pickup trucks. That got me thinking of Notting Hill and how, like so many things in this world, it would be a weirdly appropriate AU for John and Rodney.
I mean, Rodney running a scientific bookstore and worrying about income, and John the super-famous actor and Rodney's celebrity crush wandering in to buy a book on, oh, Poincare's theorem or something, and Radek the crazily-haired roommate, and sex.
Or, you know, John running a weird secondhand book store that's all dusty and has weird stuff like the complete run of National Geographic from 1970-81 and a lot of books on flight, and Rodney the super-famous scientist and John's geeky crush wandering in looking for old scifi to mock, and Ronon the crazily-haired roommate, and sex.
Yeah.
In other news: I spent all last night and most of today feeling cranky and lame and out of sorts. But I found my passport, which has been missing for a year, and also I have had chocolate-espresso cookies and tea. Things may be looking up, at least with respect to chocolate and ability to flee the country.

And I was thinking that John would be the second hand bookstore owner and Rodney would be the big, broad shouldered action hero (sort of a brainy Schwarzenegger) who keeps getting these acting awards and thinks its all crap, and he is a big enough star to make sure that all the science in his movies pass his smell test or they don't get made.
Someone just HAS to write it!

Maybe he started acting to help put himself through college, or it was one of those things where he was being very dramatic and a talent scout happened to be sitting a couple tables over :D
