Aside from work being dull and the weather being dreary: I've been curled up under a blanket reading (A Game of Thrones with an occasional manga chaser) when I haven't been going on Wiki Walks or researching things (ranging from making ofuda to reading lists of medical slang terms).

And... and... and... Things are getting exciting in carpe_ho_ras. I'm contemplating bringing Inari Raith from The Dresden Files (possibly a pre-"Blood Rites" version) into play, except I'm having a few problems finding a model for her since 1.) based on her name and her description, I keep seeing her as having a Japanese mother and thus I'm stuck trying to find a grey-eyed Japanese stand-in for her, and 2). It doesn't help that Jim Butcher has said that he always imagines TDF as an anime when he's writing it, so the temptation is there to start looking for grey-eyed anime girls. To say nothing of how much it would amuse me to bring in the bit of fanon in which I stealth crossed-over TDF and Yami no Matsuei, with Thomas Raith commenting on "his half-nephew in Tokyo". Which would make Inari the half-aunt to Muraki, whom I'm already gauging to bring into play (albeit burned, bleeding and looking like a ceiling collapsed on him because it did, per the climax of the Kyoto arc...), and thus would make for some awkward explanations:

Inari: "Oh, he's my nephew."

Random interloper: "What? He's in his thirties and you're not old enough to drink yet."

I'd almost like to see how our girl would turn out if her demon *did* get awakened, and how she'd be trying to keep it controlled, since I don't see her being a total sex bomb like her sisters. She's too kyoot!
