I did a bunch of screencapping last night during Royal Deceit and left the USB key with the images on it home, damn the luck. Will have to send them to appropriate homes later.

True to form, I got close to forty-three screen shots in slightly less than half an hour. What? If you can advance frame by frame, I say do so- you get some great facial expressions that way.

All the salt packets in the office are the 1-800-NICE-PAX variety. Way to get me to lower my blood pressure, guys.

*goes looking for garlic for her pizza instead*

Because my brain is wandering off in circles again.

Characters I Have Considered Apping At Milliways, But Would Not Actually App, For Various Reasons:

1. Constable Fuse, from Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade. ETA: Fuse would suck at Milliways for reasons laid out in a comment below. However, I think he'd make a splendid Apharsites character for someone who knew his canon well.

2. Camilla n'ha Kyria, from the Darkover novels by Marion Zimmer Bradley.

3. White Fang, from White Fang, by Jack London.

4. Sergeant Frank William Preston of the North-West Mounted Police, from Challenge of the Yukon.

5. Father Eugene Mackenzie, MI6's on-staff priest, from "Eleanor Rigby". (No, seriously. Of course he's writing the words of a sermon that no one will hear, and no one is saved at the funeral, etc. None of the people in his congregation officially exist.)

6. Aule, the smith of the Valar, from The Silmarillion. Similarly, no go on Ulmo.


Characters I Have Considered Apping And Might Conceivably App Someday, Maybe, After One Or More Of The Others I Play Is Gone:

1. Romilly MacAran, from Hawkmistress!, by Marion Zimmer Bradley.

2. Paksenarrion Dorthansdotter of Three Firs, from Sheepfarmer's Daughter, Divided Allegiance, and Oath of Gold, by Elizabeth Moon.

3. Major Thomas Condon Hogarth, from "Space Oddity" by David Bowie and "Major Tom" by Peter Schilling. (We do not speak of his mention in "Ashes to Ashes" by David Bowie, thank you.)

4. Kull, from Robert E. Howard's King Kull, though if I were to app him I'd really need someone to app a Brule to go along with him.

5. Randolph Carter, from H. P. Lovecraft's Dreamlands cycle.


The Only Character I Intend To App Any Time Soon, Thank You Very Much:

Brigadier Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart, from Doctor Who.

To make sure I'm still on target for the TA New York century ride come September, I just registered for a 55-mile ride with Bike New York on July 30th. Anybody wanna come with? We'll be riding the Harlem Valley Rail Trail, and we'll have a loop into Connecticut... c'mon! Multi-state ride! Prestige! You know you wanna.

Dear DC Comics:

Thank you so much. Thanks to you, I just had to explain the concept of a 'lipstick lesbian' to my father. (He listens to public radio and there was a story about the new Batwoman stuff coming out.)

Phbleah, I tell you. PHBLEAH.

No love,

Me.
