This will make the most sense to … From the BBC: Scientists say they have demonstrated that animals can defy the laws of genetic inheritance. Researchers found that mice can pass on traits to their offspring even if the gene behind those traits is absent. The scientists suggest RNA, a chemical cousin of DNA, passes on the characteristic – in this experiment, a spotty tail – to later generations. The research focuses on a gene called Kit, which comes in two varieties: “normal” and “mutant”. This explains everything!
X3
My hair, instead of being brown and white, is black and yellow. While there is obviously a streak in it, it does not look sufficiently like the desired effect to actually be recognizeable as such. Yet it’s not quite *totally* wrong, either. Really. The whole damned thing is like my hair: the idea is there, but something went wrong. Not critically wrong. I can’t scream and rail and be infuriated at how they screwed it up. It was not nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be.…
day off
Taking the day off, because I feel like what I need to do now is fix the end of the book, and 3 hours this morning is not enough time to do that in. So I’ll take the morning off and watch Pride & Prejudice, and go to X3 and stay through the credits, and probably watch more season 3 LFN tonight. It will be a media day. …crap. My inker just backed out. I’d said what I was looking for was someone to bring just a little more punch…
into every rain some sun must fall
On the other hand, while we were standing at the train station I said to Ted I didn’t know what I was going to do about the end of the book, and by the time we got on the train I had an idea of what I was going to do, because Ted is a plot machine. He came up with a really good idea that doesn’t solve everything, but it gives me somewhere to start, and it’ll make for a much more interesting ending than the book currently has.…
Well, that was a big fat waste of time.
I went into the hairdresser’s mostly to be told they’d forgotten to do an allergy test, and hadn’t gotten my phone number so they could call me in to do one, so they couldn’t do anything to my hair until at least 48 hours from now, after they’ve done a skin test. Which means that after two years of using X3 as a reason to stick it out with the whole growing the hair thing, I am not going to have fun cool Rogue hair for the movie after all.…
