If we're not supposed to eat animals, how come they're made out of meat?*

Sickle's Random Points:
  • Yesterday I saw the most hilarious sight. I almost wished I'd had my camera, but then I doubt I would've been allowed to take one, or would've had the guts to do so. On my way to and from work, I pass by a mysterious corner with a permanent jeep and two soldiers in camouflage with bullet-proof vests and rifles. They're always there and they won't say why. Yesterday, waiting to cross the street at that very corner, was a pudgy man with black glasses and a camouflage shir. Oh, the ironic contrast!
  • I've watched more guest-starring-Mark-Sheppard Battlestar Galactica episodes and okay, I'll admit I like the show. Not all the time, but I really like Lee Adama and Patchy - sorry, Saul Tigh - as well as Cylon Six and Gaius. I particularly enjoyed the courtroom episodes that ended season 3.
  • That last may have something to do with the fact that I love it when Mark Sheppard's characters shout. So far as I can remember, they all have, and man, he roars and it's adorable. And awesome. He'll hunker down and his face'll just do a perfect angry-O-with-scrunchy-eyebrows. Oh, the squee.
  • But most of all I love Romo Lampkin. This is not just because of who his face is. The writing, the character's history and psychology, I just... The tiny little detail about him taking care of his ex-wife's cat, which he claims he hates but loses his shit over when it dies, and the story of how he lost his wife, whom just a few episodes before he'd given this whole gorgeous speech about how much he hurt without her... I love this character and all his lying, theiving flaws. He's a person.
  • It is hot. It is very hot. It is over 37 degrees hot. It is does-not-go-below-thirty-in-my-room-at-night hot. It is oh-gods-this-headache-is-kililng-me hot. It is I-will-rub-this-wet-rag-over-me-forever hot. *melts*

Meme: 30-Day Original Story Development Challenge

Day 13 - What kind of foods are popular in the setting?

Chip poked his head around the kitchen door. "Whatcha cooking there, Harper?"

"Stew," she said, bending over the bubbling pot. "Would you just smell that? Fresh herbs!"

"The guys found some, huh?"

"Yeah, they had a good run in a little town up west. They left you and the angel a few bags - y'know, from the list."

Chip shuffled uncomfortably at the reminder. "Oh, yeah. We'll get to it." He turned to leave.

"Hey, don't you want a taste? It's got real meat and everything!" She proffered him the full wooden spoon, a small brown hunk sitting in a little clear pool of broth.

Chip hesitated. "Real meat?" He bent closer towards the spoon. It smelled good. "What kind of meat?"

"A bit of a few things, really," said Harper, moving the spoon insistantly towards Chip. He could do nothing else but obligingly open his mouth.

"That's good," he said, mildly surprised. "Kinda chewy."

"That'd be the squirrel, then."
