Research on wolves has brought up a conundrum. Genetic research done in 2008 states that wolves lack the genetic mutation that causes melanism (aka a dark color pigment). It's only found in domestic dogs which means wolves today that are fully black actually have domestic dog somewhere in their genetic history. Black pigment, like dark hair, is ( Read more... )

 I've started no less than three short stories for the twistedshorts, but none of them are finished. Darnit. I've got a Marvel!bunny that is basically character introduction fluff, a continuation of SPN ficlet collection and a random Teen Wolf bunny that came outta nowhere ( Read more... )

It's hard to give equal time/love to my original!bunny and the Marvel!bunny since Marvel apparently still owns my soul. It's kinda ridiculous at this point and it doesn't help that I'm counting down the days until Captain America:Winter Soldier comes out on BluRay ( Read more... )

Broke out the sketch pad and pencils tonight to try and figure out how I think the bones in a dragon's wing would look like and work. I'm not overly fond of the four legs plus wings concept and therefore my dragon will have wings similar to a bats ( Read more... )

My area of Florida keeps getting storms around the time I'm heading to bed and it's kinda fantastic because I love the sound of rain and thunder and wind. It's soothing. My lawn also needs the love. It's suppose to do this all through the weekend too. I'm gonna sleep so damn deep. :D ( Read more... )

For those of you not in the know 'puppies and kittens' is the phrase I use when I'm unable to swear or come up with a phrase that properly articulates my rage while at work. I try not to swear at work ( Read more... )

I went ahead and signed up for the journeystory bigbang and my declaration is 10,000 words of original fiction. Which hopefully won't be an impossible feat since I've got the concept for the story and while some of the characters will require an overhaul (Gwen the witch is getting a revamp and a new name) I have a good feeling that I'm actually going to be ( Read more... )

The Captain America:Winter Soldier story now has a name, 'History for Sale,' and it's about 3000 words and counting. I've got numerous snippets and bits dialogue started so the word counts probably higher, but the completed scenes total 3K ( Read more... )

So I'm working my way through this fight scene and I've come to part in which the Buffster actually has to use her strength. We've never actually been told how strong a Slayer is supposed to be and while it did tend to waiver from episode to episode I'm a little torn on who is supposed to be stronger. Steve Rogers or a Slayer ( Read more... )

The owner of the lawn-service is being a generous soul and only charging me between $100-150 to trim back the Brazilian Pepper Tree(s) - apparently they're plural and on both sides of my property. Fantastic. He's also going to trim back all the vegetation encroaching on my property line and clean up the bushes in front of my home for free. He's a ( Read more... )
