I swear I’ll go watch some LFN after this and stop spamming the flist, but I just got email that the interview I mentioned a month or so back has been posted, so I thought I’d, er, well, spam the flist and let you know. , you’d specifically wanted to know when that was up, so there ya go! Fittingly, there’s an X-Men geek question in that interview. :)
mutant Kit gene
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.

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.…
