Thusfar today, I have leered at pictures of Flack in Kevlar on TalkCSI and done my class reading for Monday. God in his Heaven, but Jean-Paul Sartre is a bore. Why must highly intelligent people constantly flout their genius by making an argument fifty pages longer than it needs to be? That being said, his stinging reproach of European and U.S colonialism was fascinating, scathing, and spot-on.

In less egg-headed, more fun news, I contacted the editor of

csi_gazette to pimp the

xmas_in_thelab CSI:NY Holiday Fic Exchange, and she's agreed to include it note about it in the next edition. Yay! I looked into contacting

csi_triads as well, but I couldn't find any contact info, and joining an age-moderated comm solely to pimp my own comm is skeezy.

Hawkes has stepped into my office to tell his story of what went down when Flack blew up. He's so polite, which is very sweet, but he is also frustratingly enigmatic. There is precious little backstory beyond the bio at CBS.com, and I'm flying by the seat of my pants. I fully expect that whatever background I create will be summarily Jossed by canon.

Here is a deleted excerpt from my latest cracknum opus. I may cannibalize it for parts later, but the tone was hinky.

Throughout the semester, I've noticed that my professor censors himself a great deal. He will begin a train of thought, only to say, "No, I can't talk about that," and move on to another topic. On Tuesday, I noticed him discussing immigration reform with a fellow student. After the conversation, he approached and asked if I had been listening. When I said yes, he told me that there now existed organizations that recruited students to inform on teachers who discussed politics in the classroom.

Well, after I scraped my jaw off the floor and assured him that there weren't jackboots under my sneakers, he and I got into a debate over his reticence. Clearly, he has his job and family to consider, but it bothered me that he was so afraid of these organizations that it was affecting his ability to teach the more controversial and/or extremist views of the four major world religions, and I said so. Maybe a bit stupid in hindsight, considering my mark is at his mercy, but he was not offended. In fact, he seemed surprised that I had noticed.

Have the obnoxiously cloying yuppie parents who have churned out two generations of helpless, unprepared entitlement whores so thoroughly castrated university administrations that even colleges-which, according to my professors, are designed to prepare you for the merciless realities of adult responsibility-must be insulated against anything that smacks of unpleasantness or human or cultural diversity? Are we truly so far gone? Either my professor has been huffing his newborn son's baby powder, or he has confirmed the existence of the Thought Police?

On a more pleasant note, I thought I'd do a mid-year fic report and provide links to everything I've written in 2006. Most of you will have seen and read these, but there have been a few newcomers, and last night, someone asked for a link to SLS. So, without further ado, the fic from 2006 to this point:

First things first, a final pimp for "Nothing at All." Aside from

obsidiantears74, who is kind enough to feedback almost everything I produce, it has generated zero interest. Ah, well. I enjoyed writing it if nothing else, and now it is time to move on to the next project. For those who missed it the first time, a link:

Nothing at All

I watched the first disc of X-Files Season Two this evening. The first episode, "Little Green Men," bored me, but it picked up quickly after that. "Blood" and "Sleepless" were my favorite from the first four, and Skinner is growing on me by leaps and bounds. The jury is still out on Krycek, but as of now, he's firmly entrenched in the Slimy Shitweasel camp, which is unfortunate, because I had hoped he was a young Mulder.

And mmm, Skulking Black Dude in the Dark.

Dear Criminal Minds,

The Spanish in Wednesday's episode was awful. SPN 101 students in the first week of class and fresh off a mota bender could demonstrate more proficiency. I laughed until my hemorrhoids hurt. And could you possibly be more condescending toward the Mexican authorities, with your polished American worldview and nauseatingly smug sense of social and intellectual superiority? Next time you take a stab at bilingualism, please ensure that the actor in question displays a modicum of ability.

No love,

La Guera

As most of you know, I won the "Obscure Canon Character Fic Challenge" issued by

_scriptor_ last year. Hardly a life-altering achievement, I know, but I was proud all the same.

The one-shot I submitted is still there for all to see, but I submitted it to Fanfiction.net and Fiction Alley as well.

It can be found here:
