Am I the only one whose ever wondered why the Ancients have symbols for 8 and 9 if they were a base-8 culture?

I just spent ten minutes staring at my computer, trying to decide which "gall" means "impudence" and which "Gaul" means "French". Which really just is the icing on the cake.

Sorry this is so long delayed, but RL made my reaction post for this movie uber-delayed. All for the better though, because I've just come from seeing the movie for a SECOND time, and, boy, is it even better.

Title: Exsul (3/?)
Rating: PG
Characters: Ancient!John/Rodney
Warnings: part three of #28 in the Ancient!John 'Verse (see part 1, 2); "The Return, Part 1," thru SG1 s10e9 "Company of Thieves" for safety).
Summary: Rodney is on Earth. Atlantis is not. This causes more than a few problems. Mostly for Rodney
Notes: This is killer, and not where I wanted to end, and it's either post this or delete the whole thing. And, oh, BTW, this is turning out to be a very "Sunday" or "Tabla Rasa"-like story, so pay attention to the dates posted at the top of each section. This one occurs both before and after pars dua and before pars una. Confusing, I know.

My brother's life is, litterally, like a bad rom com. I've always been aware of this on some level, but concidering most of our interactions take pace over facebook, I wasn't aware of its extent until he basically filled me in on what's been happening with him this semester while I was driving him to the airport at 5am.

(Well, he had to be at the airport at 5 am. We had to leave the house at 1am, and I didn't get back until almost 9am... but that's another story).

So, Appalachian lets out this week, meaning my brother is going to be home until Sunday (when he leaves for Costa Rica, the annoying, money-having child. Which means I'm kicked out of my room until then, as he gets to have it while he's here (because, according to dad, he's the one who's "doing what he's supposed to be doing").

So, as some of you may be aware, I applied to the local college immediately after getting back from boot camp.

So, I actually finished S1 yesterday morning before work, but a series of events which are totally par for my life prevented me from doing this then. Mainly the editing of my brother's 25 PAGE PAPER six hours before it was due and work.
