Strange Days Indeed...

Most bizarre item of the day: the CIA recruiting ad which played on the radio this morning. I mean, National Guard, Army/Navy, those recruitment campaigns I expect. But the Central Intelligence Agency? I wonder if this is a sign that their enrollment is at an all-time low, or just that they've got someone fresh and new in charge of their recruitment strategies.
Spent part of last night going through Wikipedia and online baby names websites trying to fill in the holes that 'Netlessness left in Field of Stars. I literally have a character currently named Prince Placeholder. Haven't found a perfect name for him yet, but then I've only gone through the front half of the alphabet. I am quite pleased, though - my four main characters from Queen's Choice are (more-or-less/mostly) elementally aligned, and I managed to tie that in to the Tarot deck. Air person uses a sword, Fire person uses a staff, Water person is a sorta-hydromantic seer (though I haven't actually given her a chalice/cup yet), but the kinda-Earth person I was never able to tie in to coins/pentacles before now. Also, Wonderful Husband helped me hammer out some of the background theology last night, and I now have an idea as to where demons/angels/spirits (whatever you want to call them) came from.
