valarltdMy sinuses decided they were an amatuer Algerian pop quartet and turned every breath into a rehersal session until they woke me.
So, I'm up and showered and mostly dressed and packed. I'll make pancakes for the troops and then head out to work. I have to be in Indiana by 9 PM
Watched the final ep of Sleeper Cell last night. Tense as hell even though I knew how it would end. I was nitpicking though. The tanker of phosgene isn't placarded right and that company is looking at sme major DOT fines for lack of permits and numbers. (and you don't drive with your right hand. You drive with your left so you've got the right to shift) But the rest? Amazing!

eyeless_angel? so totally getting that emotional slash level. It's right there, when Farik has Darwyn and Christian get out. Christian hops right out. Darwyn hesitates, looks as if he wants to protest, "No, I'm coming with you." And Farik just gives him a slow smile and nod as if to say "Go, we won't be apart long."
And I'm not sure if the trend toward multi-ethnic characters in my fic is a sign of progress or a fetish. Steven is large, beautiful and black. He's a Zen Buddhist in order to keep his violent temper under control. This makes him placid and wise 95% of the time, and a force of nature the rest.
Adrien/Adlai/Adric are all the same muse, also black. Very sweet tempered, a bit of a hedonist. (Adrien is the vampiric incarnation.) There is nothing that makes him culturally black though, and I worry about that. He doesn't--as the Mr T costume box put it-- "Stomp, talk badly and scare the hell out of white people."
Add in a Rom muse who is a werewolf (in some universes), a couple of middle-eastern muses (freely admitted to be my fetish), a Brazilian, an Italian, a couple of Irish, an Indian, a Russian, a Swede and a Kenyan woman, and I either have the UN of fic or I'm just hot for everyone.
