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.

Yay for passport finding, I swear I'd go crazy if I ever lost mine. (which will probably happen at some point, I am v. lax in keeping track of it.)

And as for the Notting Hill AU: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO IT.

My passport has been missing for almost exactly a year. I was pretty sure I'd lost it in the process of moving to my current place, or else that it was just buried in some random box of crap somewhere... But then I was hunting in my old laptop bag for my memory stick, and there it was!

Yayyy, that saves me, like, a hundred bucks to replace it.

And as for the Notting Hill AU: FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, DO IT.

Steps are being taken to comply :D
