As the dining hall food did not quite suit my tastes for the occasion, I tried out a nearby pub for dinner. Pierogies and curry, not bad. After that, I finally stopped in at the candy store that replaced the bookstore, and was pleasantly surprised to find that they have an ongoing promotion with late-night discounts. Now I've some fudge and candy corn to try when I'm not so stuffed. And I talked to my parents in advance and I should have a sewing machine waiting when I get home for Thanksgiving.
Now I had better buckle down to all these papers before I let myself get back to playing "poke the Silver Fang from multiple angles" and never actually finish anything either recreational or academic.
(Seriously, they're so especially values-dissonant with all their Divine Right and such that I can't resist imagining i.e. the cub of impeccable Fang lineage who is genteelly poor and falls for his Bone Gnawer neighbor, or falls for a vampire, or runs off with changelings, or is a hapless WWII-era Red Army soldier, or is an avowed commie. Not to forget the Malkavian Kinfolk)
(Also, because I am perverse, the occasional tone I get from the sourcebooks of "NO NO YOU'RE DOING IT WRONG," or in the case of the Malkavian and Fianna books "SHUT UP ABOUT THE DAMN FAIRIES ALREADY," especially tempts me to do it wrong)

If you ever do a Silver-Fang-commie let me know: I've wanted to see someone deal with that clash for ages! :D

If I finish anything with one I'll certainly post it here. I'm considering several concepts leftwards, ranging from the one who thinks the Soviet Union got it absolutely right and the Romanovs had it coming (oh, the lectures and worse that'd get him from the refugee grandparents, not to mention the appalled ancestors! He'd have to have four-five dots in that background just for the drama potential) to the Orwellian socialist (as in George Orwell himself, that is, not as in 1984) to that guy over there who just likes wearing things with Che Guevara on, and wears them even more once people start overreacting.
